All I can remember about the place I regained consciousness in was that it was extremely dark at first...and that I was in a tank full of water. As you could probably assume, I did not like water, if I had little to no room to move in any direction. I was 14 at the time, I certainly did not like the feel of ice-cold water on my body, and what happened was that the clothes I had been wearing before I was brought here materialized on me-through magic. Seeing as none of you were there, I had donned a white shirt, with a buckled jacket, and my pants were a dark gray. They also appeared to repel the water until it was a thin and pressured layer around the inside of the tank. The pressure grew until its structure could not hold any longer.
A painfully loud alarm sounded, but the many red flashing light revealed the area I was in to me. It was basically a dark blue warehouse where tons of tanks like my own were housed. I looked at my tank's remains, and a plate labeled "Z.E.R.A" was engraved in it. The other tanks definitely contained others, yet, there names were all normal, of course, I knew this was not my name, but if I ever needed to use a name, this would be it. The doors were on lock down, so I thought I may have a had a little extra time to find a way to find my info in their computer system. I found a computer that appeared to record the data in all the tanks, and was also used to open them or not. A few seconds of browsing the screen and I found the alarm switch, and turned it off.
Loud bangs were heard on the doors, and eventually, they gave way to whatever wanted entrance. By that time, I had just found information on me. I'll skip the boring stuff, like what 'package' I was, or my serial code, and explain to you guys the important details. It said I was born in Servania, which I now know uses a different calendar than humans, but if I must tell you, it is December 17th on your calendar. Anyway, the rest talks about me being used as a biological weapon, whose DNA was fused with 5-10% of the DNA of nearly every other commonly found race on the planet. Although, it said my main race was Dragon Panzer, which is apparentally a race that is primarily human with some draconic features, such as my eyes, fangs, wings and tail.
It appeared I was nearing towards something more interesting, but then I got snatched up by a huge creature. It looked like a bunch of patchwork, I couldn't believe it could function in such a deformed manner. I found out how to grow out my tail, and smashed it into the creature's legs. I finally got to looking around, and found at the end of the hallway that it was going to take me, some humans in lab coats were holding a remote. If they did that kind of shit to things as worthless and stupid as the thing I had just slayed, I had to wonder what the hell they would do to me. I started running through the complex, and met little resistance, other than a few lizard-like people with weird energy weapons. By now it was very clear that this was a weapons testing facility of some kind. Eventually, I reached the exit. My legs were sore, and I laid against the building. It was dusk, as people of several different races were going into their homes and retiring for the night. Fifteen or so minutes, and I began to feel a piercing pain in my left thigh. Apparentally I had been grazed by a plasma bolt emitted from those odd weapons. The wound was healing pretty fast, I was pretty pissed, then, I look at by blood, and it seemed to be charged with electricity. I used what little magic skills I had and locked the door I had left from permanently, using magic conducted with electricity.
I decided it was a good time to leave, as a particularly loud siren began to blow, possibly in response to my escape from the facility. I tried to leave the suburban town, but I ran into a barrier. I suffered from a concussion and blacked out. When I awoke, I was well outside the boundaries of the town I once was in, in fact, it was an unrecognizable speck in the distance. There blood all over my body, and I was honestly a little creeped out by that at the time. I got up, and decided to go back to the city, to see what happened.
Half a day or so of walking, and I was there. It was a pretty traumatizing site. Blood was spattered on buildings, the tall and ominous building I had escaped from was leveled. I was a teen at the time, so I must admit, I was crying, I know, I know, it's pathetic, but yes, I was crying over the loss of such a beautiful town, and those that had lived there. Through the debris and smoke, I saw someone in a black cloak. The person advanced towards me, I was curious as to who this person was, of course, but I did feel some fear. I blinked, and he vanished, I blinked again, and he was a foot away from me. The man(as his voice sounded like a man's) said to me, "Pretty bloody mess you made here kid.".
The stranger's voice sounded young, possibly in his 20s or early 30s, he began to speak again, "My name or profession is none of your concern, how do I know you'd ask that? Well, it's none of your business, frankly. Anyway, I have something for you, it is totally free.". The man handed to me two swords, one black, one white. "These weapon symbolize a balance your soul is currently in conflict with. Which is why it is difficult for you to channel certain magic energies. No matter what power your soul is dominated by, you, and only you will be able to use these weapons at their full potential.". My eyes began to dry out, and of course, after I blinked, he was gone, but the swords were still in my hands.
To this day I have wondered why he never gave me armor, not that I need it, but still, it is practical to always have armor on hand, no?
