Time...

Space...

The Mind...

The Soul...

Reality...

Alone, these elements hold nothing in common...

Only together can the similarities be found...

Since the dawn of humanity, mankind have sought the answers to the greatest questions of their existence; "What is time?", "What's out there?", "Are we real?", "What is in a soul?", "What is the mind?". These questions and more burn in the minds of the most intelligent of humans but the wisest amongst them do not dwell on these - rather, they are guided by potential answers to these questions. There is one question, however, that drives even the most astute of minds into finding an answer to; life's most powerful burning question - the question of "Why?"

"Why are we here?"

"Why do we exist?"

"Why does this happen?"

"Why do socks get lost in the drier?"

Yeah, you'd be surprised how many people actually ask that last one... Anyway...

These questions all drive humanity to learn as much about the universe as they can; even now they continuously learn new things about the universe they previously thought impossible. This hunt for knowledge has even caused men and women alike to become disillusioned to their own conceptions of reality - so much so that it has become an obsession for them. However, it is sometimes the simpler minds that tend to find the answers to these questions...

One such mind has even somehow found themselves in an impossible situation which begs the question of why he's there. Is he there out of dumb luck? Is he there to destroy that place? Or is he there for the amusement of some higher power?

We will find out...

Chirping...

Birds chirping... Wind howling... Rustling of grass...

These are the sounds that assault my ears as consciousness returns to me... I feel so exhausted for some reason despite the fact that I was given a full night's sleep last night. As I begin to stir, my mind began to wonder on the other sensations my body was feeling - the cool grass beneath my body and on my bare arms, tickling them mercilessly as I start to move; the wind blowing softly over my body every once in a while, further stirring me from my slumber; the warmth of the summer sun on my body, giving me energy to awaken and face what is to come. My thoughts soon drifted to thinking how I got there; this wasn't my bed nor my bedroom. I struggled to do so, but I propped myself on my elbows with a groan of effort gripping the grass in what was my open hand as added support. As I open my eyes, everything appeared in a hazy fuzz that I just couldn't make anything out from; I propped my weight heavily on my right arm which was still gripping the grass and used the back of my left hand to wipe the sleep and water from my eyes, vainly trying to clear my vision. Eventually, I succeed to open my eyes and get a view of where I was; only to realize that where I am was far from the small house I came from - the view was, in a word, incredible.

The first things I noticed were the clear, almost baby blue sky above the forest canopy and the tall, almost pure emerald trees of varying yet gargantuan sizes with their many branches swaying softly in the wind as it glides past them. As I look around above me, I notice small things such as the squirrels and birds that made their homes in the trees above, the bright yellow morning sun shining off in the distance as it nears the end of morning, and the incredible moon that beautifully reflected the suns light with it's shattered shar-WAIT A MINUTE!

A SHATTERED moon!?

That is right, I kid you not; before me was a moon thrice as large as the one I was familiar with yet it was quite literally in shambles. There was no sign of what caused such a planetary cataclysmic event or even an explanation on how such an object could actually enforce it's gravitational hold on the planet's oceans even in it's devastated state. I felt like I had been staring at that moon for ages in shock and utter fear at what was before me yet mere minutes passed as I continued to stare at what I thought was impossible - I just could not believe what was there and in front of me... The only thing I could think of to even hope to explain it was that I was somehow in a very vivid, lucid dream that I had no control over; I was tempted to pinch myself as I came to this thought but another thought crossed my mind as I lowered my gaze at last to the ground in front of me. The bushes and grass, much like the trees, were also a very vivid emerald green that was just too beautiful to believe. I had never seen anything like this in person - in fact, the only time I had ever seen something like this was in... a... web...

"... Oh crapbaskets..." I whispered to myself more than anything else within earshot as a single thought came to my head; I have somehow wound up in the world of Remnant and right smack dab in the middle of the Emerald Forest no less. I look up to the moon once more before I grow concerned remembering what was lying in wait within these woods; the Creatures of Grimm... Terrible monsters of shadowy death as far as I'm concerned; though if you asked a certain friend of mine, she'd swear they were Hollows from Bleach...

Back to the matter at hand, I shook my head and decided to calm my mind, knowing what attracts the Grimm is fear and despair, before turning back to my surroundings. As I push myself into a sitting position, I notice only emerald green shrubbery in both the trees, the bushes, and the small plants and grass littering the forest floor. I notice only a few small animals like squirrels and birds in the trees and on the ground and even a small bunny hopping into one of the bushes as I continue to look around seeing only one or two rocks in my general vicinity. That all lost my interest once I saw something out of the corner of my eye; a blue and black rectangular piece of what I assumed was glossy plastic at first glance with what appeared to be a yellow knob of some kind on the blue part of it. As I looked at the object, I noticed that there was an exceptionally colorful label on the side which prompted me to investigate it further. I crawled closer to the object and began to notice more details in the actual object itself that I didn't notice before. It had a few screw-like moldings into the side of it where the label was, and as I got closer to it I noticed that it had a pair of buttons on what I was assuming the front of it just above where the "knob" was and a black handle on the back. The label itself held a black border with a jigsaw puzzle background of pastel colors with some of the pieces missing. There was a small blue circle "head" on it that had a tuft of blue curled hair in between it's yellow eyes and mouth as it stared out at presumably whoever looks at the label with what I can only describe as a deadpanning emo expression.

This wasn't what caught my attention, however - it was what the label had on it that I could read that got my interest.

On the top left of the label, right on the border, were the letters "GD" on it; on the bottom left were a bunch of random numbers in between hyphens from what I could see, but the words directly under the blue head was when I finally thought to myself 'N-No way... it can't be...' Right there; in bubbly, capital, rainbow poly-chromatic technicolor, was the name of something I never thought I would wake up with...
