It was a sunny day; I could not see a thing. Voices echoed through my head. I could hear a song, but not remember it. I could hear a scream, and not care. I could hear people, and forget. The smell of blood, the sweet scent of bubblegum, teenage thriller.
 * 1) Chapter 1, Act 1 – Caught by a Day Dream

When I woke up, I found myself in a camp, alone. It was vast, I felt the solitude of the place, and it was like a dream, except I could feel everything. Soon after the calm, it came a maelstrom:

“Hey, you there! Can you hear me?” A loud voice shouted at me from a fair distance, I could not see the owner of such sweet voice “Over here!”

I walked a little bit; I was feeling light, as if there was nothing underneath me. For once, I thought about freedom, nothing was holding me down. Odd. When I reached the owner of such voice, a little girl, with a long magenta hair, using a simple cotton cloth, appearing to be that of a queen, with a small pink skirt with white stripes and slippers, said:

“My name is Santana Lumiére, but I will allow you to call me Santana. I have been lost here for so bloody long~! I was waiting for a hero to come and save me from this everlasting camp~!”

“Well…hello, then. I just woke up so I got lost as well, do you know where we are?” I asked, feeling a little nervous at the expensive set of jewels she used around her

“I walked around this place for a whole day and did not found a thing about civilization, life forms or Wi-Fi! Can you imagine how tired I am? A lady should not suffer from this kind of torture…but I must say the day light was really good for my skin, and it was fun, to feel free.”

“Funny you say. I also have this same sensation. Then, let’s walk ahead; see if we can find anywhere to go.”

“As long as I get to eat something…I’m blood starving!”

We walked in straight line for about three hours; it happened that Santana just walked around circles asking for help, so she really did not notice the village that was nearby the camp.

“Pardon my question, but you didn’t say your name.”

“My name is Nate, and it is all I can remember, after that, only few weird sensations and nothing more.”

She gazed at me with bright eyes, as if I was a weird creature, an exotic beast one could only see once in a life’s time. We soon arrived at the village. It was a small town, with blooming flowers everywhere and a huge house over a small mountain. It was almost night, we went to a small establishment, maybe we could find some help, or at least, localization.

“Hello, we’re lost and we just found this village, could you answer us and tell where this place is?” I asked, ringing a small bell on a table

“Oh, and do you serve food? Like a lot of food. Like, horse-sized food?”

A man with the boldest of the beards, almost as if reached the ground came in, he asked us to seat as he ordered some lunch. A blonde-haired woman came in, served us the plates of delicious-looking meat, rice and beans and left us with the sir.

“Oh, you must be new Souls. My name is Foxx. I am sure you two are very confused, but let me explain the basics. You two are dead!” He shouted out loud and repeatedly laughed as we gasped in despair

“What do you mean with it?” Santana responded angrily, almost letting the plate fall on the ground “We can’t be dead, we’re right here!”

“Exactly, my good Souls. For long, this place we all live in, Astralis, has gathered the Souls of fallen maidens and warriors who left something undone while alive and brought them here, to live the lives they should have had. Here, the same laws of the living do not bind us; everything can happen in here. Ghosts and monsters won’t be a surprise nowadays!”

He guided us upstairs. As soon as we reached to a small room in the house, he awarded us with a seal:

“This place is dangerous to unfortunate Souls, I beg you to adhere this seal to your heart, so it can allow you to break the laws of this world. Sleep, for tomorrow I have a lot to explain.” He left with a soft smile in his face; we now had a yearning for knowledge

We placed the seals over our hearts; mine quickly shined bright and became what seems to be that of needles, crossing a soul-like symbol. Santana’s became that of a broken heart.

During morning, he woke us up with a cherish face; we were sleepy, but somewhat excited for what he promised us. He guided us to the back of the house, where a bunny-like being stood still, crying.

“What is this cute little fella~?” Santana asked, as she made a cute duck face, I laughed a bit as she circled around the weird creature

“This is a Grief, a creature that spawns everyday here in Astralis; they are beings made from pure grievous thoughts of the living and torment us from the afterlife. Eliminate him, test your new skills, simply, Release the Seal of the Souls!” The old man talked super energetically, as we did not understand a thing about it

“So…we have to kill him?”

“Yes, he’s dangerous.”

“But he’s crying…”

“Hey, Listen! This is a Grief called Regard, one can disappear if he stands too close to you, and if you don’t kill him now, he will call worse things for fight you!”

“Okay, then…so how do we battle him?”

“Press the seal you placed on your heart and your weapon will arise; this weapon is connected to your Soul. If it breaks, so does you, so protect it with care, okay? Okay!”

I pressed the seal as ghoulish beings began to spread around the field and vanish with the wind; an umbrella-like creature appeared and bound itself to my hand.

“M-My name is Po-Po…Polendino. I am one of the few living weapons so…ta-take good ca-ca-care of me…okay…”

“Okay…”

Santana pressed her seal and suddenly a bucket fell from nowhere onto Foxx’s head, a scepter appeared; it did not talk nor seemed to be alive. (Lucky one…)

“You, Nate, is an Exorcist, someone that can control Souls and use them as a charmer for ghosts and specters of all kind, you will never battle alone, as the spectral companions will follow you, wherever you go.”

“Alright, so what do I do?”

“Try to use Polendino as a sword and slice this Grief down!”

I lunged on the bunny creature and used the umbrella as a sword. When I was a kid, I remember playing swords with friends using umbrellas. It was fun.

“Now, Santana is a Duchess, she syncs her own Soul with Misfortune and can spread evil seals through the battlefield, try to put a seal on this monster so Nate can finish it easier.”

“How do I put a seal?”

“Just shout it like every cartoon character does, Seal of Dementia!”

“Alright!” With a swing from her scepter, she calmly charged her voice and shouted “SEAL OF DEMENTIA!” A seal similar to ours forced over the body of the Regard, he began to shake around as crazy, he quickly lunged towards me and head-butted my legs

“Ouch, what a spoiled thing!”

“When you battle against them, of course they are going to attack you back, now FINISH HIM!”

An odd stripe appeared from my clothing and wrapped around Polendino, I do not know how but I simply threw him, as if he was a spear, pierced the Grief’s body and Soul. The body disappeared in the air, and the Soul became part of Polendino, as a small pin.

“You know now the basics of battle. This village suffers daily cause of an evil specter, Elvira Stratton, a beast in the form of a madam that transforms anyone who dares to stop her into bones. She threw all these Grief’s to the small village of Arcadia and we can’t even defend ourselves with the little number of residents we have…”

“Then what about this, we take her down, as a form to thank you for all you have done to us and…if there’s anywhere else we can find the reason we are dead, you could lead us to it!” I confidently proposed this question, although my situation was not the worst,

“I know a person…he is a little boy named Cristo who lives in the city of Hope’s Peak, he can remember others’ memories. If you meet him, maybe you can rest in peace knowing why you are here…But how do you plan to beat her, it is your first day here!”

“Have you ever tried to team everyone up? Maybe, together, we have a chance to defeat this evil lady you speak off.” Santana had the best idea; if many group up, she will not be able to take us all down...hopefully

“If you think so…I will call everyone I know, it will be a hard path to the Chateau du Stratton…but I am depositing my hope on you, even though I am certainly sure you will die there!”

“I am sure you deposit all of your hope on us…” Me, trying to be sarcastic…it never works…

Therefore, it was set, the mission, defeat Elvira Stratton…Find the Cristo and the Case of our Deaths...and probably something else…
