 My head spun around the dark void of a room I awoken in, not sure who I was or why I was even here. I felt nothing as if I didn't exist. It was a calming feeling of no responsibility, but I couldn't help but to feel uneasy by the lack of knowledge I had about everything. I looked around the room to get a feel of my situation but it was no use, the room was nothing but darkness. My inner silence was interrupted by the sound of a faint whispering voice. I listened closely to make out the words.

"Jonah?.......Jonah?  Wake up my dear! You've slept far too long! you must get up!" A beautiful female voice called faintly in the distance almost as a dream.

"Um I'm up!....I've been up for an hour!"  I said enchanted by the voice, lying through my teeth.

I was in a blank daze trying to focus my eyes in on the voice but I could only see the coldness of darkness covering my eye lids far too heavy to open.

"OK I cant lie I've been sleeping. How long have I been out?" Still dazed and confused like a deer in head lights.

The woman sighed and tugged at my arm forcefully.

"You've been sleeping for way too long. Now rise child!" She said getting annoyed.

As she pulled and twisted my arm, I could feel the stiffness of my body. I struggled and pulled at my limbs, but they gave no response. It was like my body was cold and lifeless, like my legs and arms fell asleep but wasn't moved like they were suppose to. As the blood made its way back to my nerves I could feel a cold, metallic flat surface under me. I quickly became nervous and started to panic by these feelings. I tried to calm down and think about my situation but it was no use, my memory was all gone. I knew my name was Jonah but only because her lovely voice spoke it to me.

"WHAT? WHERE AM I? WHO AM I?" I said as i pulled my arm away from her.

"Jonah, be still my child! I will not let anything happen to you! Everything will be explained soon enough. Just calm down and let your body adjust to the atmosphere!" she spoke clearly.

Her calm and gentle voice filled me with peace even though I was panicking badly. I relaxed and listened in on her voice. Every word she spoke breathed sight in my eyes, warmth in my bones and inner peace in my soul. I blinked my eyes as they tried to adjust to the shining light.

"There young one. Look at me dear! your sight has been restored!" she said excitedly.

I looked up to find a lovely long blond woman. Her skin was rosy and pink like the sweetest of peaches and her eyes shined sky blue with a heavenly glow. She wore a long flowing wedding dress and veil that had thin blue silk woven streams around the edges. She was very beautifully fit with a voice to match. But what truly was odd is the strong light blue glow that outlined her form like aura. She looked in her early twenties but something about her told me she was older.

"Am I in heaven? Because baby your an angel!" I said as i gazed at her beauty.

"Hey don't you dear speak to my wife that way you incompetent child!" A loud and annoyed sounding voice shouted.

"Relax my dear I'd never fall for a pickup line such as that!" she laughed as she looked to the door.

I turned to find a man wearing silver armor with an hourglass built in the front of the chest plate. He was very handsome with his clean cut brown hair and masculine clean shaven goatee, his eyes glowed a fiery green that intimidated me with his stern stare as if his eyes would steal my soul from where I would stand. He looked about her age but he also had something about him that made me think he was older. His metal boot clanged with every step he took closer to me. He also had a glow but his had a silver shine to him. I laughed nervously with a little jealousy about how beautiful they were and it made me ponder on the idea of what I looked like.
