Girl Behind The Stars

Prologue

Prologue

Sep 25, 2021

I was in an old wooden house. You could hear the floor creak when you tried to move and I felt a slight cold. Where am I? The room wasn't really big, but big enough to lead a nomal life. A little light shone through a window on my right. I was to small to see what's outside but I saw that it was misty. I tried to get up I suddenly got a teribble headache. "Argh! What is this?" I heard the voice of a little girl. Memories of something I didn't remember came into my head. "Whose memories are these?" My consciousness was drawn into the memory. 

"Hey you damn bitch! You keep talking bullshit all the time, bring me back already!" I saw a skinny young man with dyed blond hair, which I could tell by the fact that the sides were brown. Who is this guy? I saw many people standing inside of a comlpetely white room. I wasn't even able to see the end of the room because of its color. 

"I can't do that." A tall woman with bright blonde hair flew over a pedestal. She was wearing a dress in the same color as the room and around her head was something crown-like. "That's an experiment and all of you are part of it." Experiment? My body moved on its own. I looked away from the woman to the guy who was talking before. He looked very angry and stomped on the floor.

"I don't remember being part of some shitty experiment!" He slowly approached the woman. "I don't even know who you are! Bring me back if you don't want to die." He looked up to her. "I don't care if you're a woman, I'll kick your ass if you continue this shit!" The woman sighted and looked at him.

"You are an annoying guy." The woman reached out her hand and looked at him with a disgusted expression on her face. "You are just a little human. A mere human! How dare you talk to me like this!" Suddenly the guy was lifted up by something invisible. He was wriggling like crazy and tried to breathe, it seemed like something was choking him.

"W-wait!" A slightly older man in a suit stepped forward. "I apologize for his rude behavior, so please spare him!" The woman looked at him. "He's just scared! Everybody is!"

The womans expression softened. "Scared? Why?" She stopped choking the other guy. "Even if what you are saying is the truth, what reason do you have to be scared?"

The man slowly approached her. "It's a natural reaction for us humans! We fear the unknown!" He adjusted his glasses. "You should explain what's going on right now. It would certainly take our fear away if you explained the content of the experiment to us!" The woman let the guy down slowly.

"Is that so." She looked at the man in the suit. "You may be right." She put her hand over her mouth and cleared her throat. "The 20 of you will be send to another world." Everybody began to whisper. "We want to see what happens if we send people from your world to another one."

A girl with chin-length brown hair stepped forward. "Who do you mean with 'We'?" She looked at the woman.

"Gods." Everybody became silent. Did she just say gods? "I am one of these gods." She looked around the room. "Was that all? Then I continue with the explaination." She took a breath and continued. "Each of you will take over the body of a person from the 12 faced world. You will replace this person and live as that person from then on."

Another woman stepped forward. "What does that mean? What happens to the person we replace?" The woman looked worried. She held her hand in front of her chest and looked at the goddess.

"They disappear." She said that without hesitating for a single second. 

The woman looked shocked and stepped forward. "B-But... Don't you care about the people in the other world? How can you say that with such a cold face!?" The goddess looked at her with an confused expression.

"What's the problem?" The goddess kept looking at her. "They are only humans. And only 20 of them." Everybody started to whisper again. "Is that something like your animal instinct? As far as I know, you humans are pack animals, is that the reason?" Everybody was shocked about what she said. 

"She sees us as animals?" Is what I heared someone whispering. "She wants to kill 20 people for an experiment?" Is what another person whispered. I was shocked aswell when I heared her say that. "You can't do that!" "He's right!" A few of us began to talk back to her. I didn't even moved.

"Tsk!" The goddess looked at us like we're some disgusting bug. "I can do whatever I want. I already showed you what happens if you talk back to me." She reached out her hand and everybody became silent. "How boring." She sighted and let down her hand. "I'm a very kind goddess so I will do something about this guilt feeling that depresses you." We looked up to the goddess as she reached out her hand. "I will erase your memories.

The man in the suit began to talk again. "Then how should we fulfill our task. I think it would influence the experiment to erase our memories."

"Do not worry. I will only erase your memories about your past life. You will still remember what we talked about." She looked at the woman.

"Then it's useless to erase our memories!" The guy from the begging stepped forward. "If we still remember that we are another person what's the point in erasing our memories?" 

"He's right!" The people looked at the goddess.

"I do not understand you humans. Even if you know that you are different person, as long as you do not know who you are, you could just as well be this person." She looked at us with a confused expression on her face.

"B-But you told us that we are different person. I-If we still remember what happened here, w-we know that we are a different person." A girl with long black hair stepped forward. She adjusted her glasses and walked back quickly.

"I really do not understand what problem there is. But I can not do more for you." She looked at us without saying something for a few seconds. She sighted and continued talking. "You don't have to do anything special. Just live. You can live a boring life as a farmer or try to become a hero. Do whatever you wish to do." She stopped for a few seconds again. "The 12 faced world is a bit special. You could say its a bit like a 'game'. Well, that does not really apply. It is like a normal 'fantasy' world, the only difference is the status window. It shows informations about you as well as your skills." Everybody whispered again. "You all will take over a random body so, race, name, age, stats, skills and magic affinity will all be random as well."

"At least give us good bodies! A nobleman or something!" A boy with black hair stepped forward.

"I can not do that. It would affect the experiment." She looked at him. "We want to see what you would do in different situations, so where is the use if all of you were in the same situation?" She got a point. "I think that is all. We will begin now." She reached out her hand and flew a little lower.

"Thou whom hast been chosen to travel trhough the worlds, should'st now break through the eleventh surface and enter the twelve faced orb. I, whom rule over all's, should'st help thou with this! At the sight of mine strengh, the gate should'st ope and allow these lost souls to enter! Callium Testis!" 

The white room turned black, then purple, then blue, green, it changed its color more often and at the end it turned withe again. The room suddenly shattered like a glass that had fallen on the floor. Everything was dark. In front of me was a little girl. She had dark blonde, nearly brown hair and was wearing a white dress. She lifted her head and her emerald-green eyes looked right into mine. Then she reached out her hand. I laid my hand on hers and suddenly my point of view changed. In front of me was a man in the beginnig of his twentys. Our hands were touching each others and we were looking into each others eyes. Then he suddenly disappeared. I don't know who he was. I don't know who I am. I know nothing. 

"Argh!!" I heared someone screaming out of pain. When I blinked, my point of view changed again. I was back in the wooden house. My headache became worse, to the point where I felt like fainting. I screamed and slamed my head on the ground, when suddenly a young woman ran into the room. She had brown hair, dark blue eyes and was wearing old, slightly worn clothes. She hugged me and called out full of concern. "Tia!"
