In a dark forest, filled with trees, grass, maybe some moss or whatever, there's this random elf guy just standing there. I don't know what he's doing. I'm just the narrator. I don't know everything, alright? I'm not one of those omniscient assholes that know the entire universe front to back.
Anyway, out of nowhere, some random dude falls from the sky. Literally just drops straight down.
He lands. Dust settles. And he goes,
"Yo."
The elf guy looks at him and replies,
"Oh shit, what's up man. Uh, what's up."
I did a bit of cross-narrator networking, and apparently the elf-looking guy's name is Ronkai. The dude who fell from the sky is Kain. Don't ask me where these names came from. I didn't write the lore.
Ronkai's like,
"So, uh... why did you fall from the sky?"
Kain shrugs.
"Oh, that's nothing. I just murdered, like, the Kingdom of Iron or something. I don't know the actual name. Something along those lines."
Ronkai blinks.
"Oh. Okay. Cool."
"Yeah, I just kill kingdoms. It's plot-relevant or whatever."
Ronkai nods slowly.
"So, do you mind if I join you? I've been kinda bored lately."
"Nah," Kain says. "I'm a lone wolf or something. I do shit alone."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. But like... you can be a lone wolf too, I guess."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
Silence.
"So how do I start?" Ronkai asks.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? You said you're a lone wolf."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm mentoring you. Life isn't a fucking tutorial, kid."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
Kain points behind Ronkai.
"Oh. Oh. You see that wolf over there?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Just look. Behind you. Look at how ugly that wolf is."
Ronkai turns. He sees the wolf. I don't know what the hell that thing is. It looks like it got repeatedly railed by a gorilla and then rolled through a haunted meat grinder.
"What? What's the point?" Ronkai says.
"Shut up. You wanna be a lone wolf, right? Go near that wolf and kill it. You'll gain its... lone wolf powers or something."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I just said I'm sure. Just go, bro."
"Alright, man."
Smooth-ass transition. Five minutes later.
"So yeah," Ronkai limps back, bleeding from several limbs. "I tried to kill the wolf. It started eating my flesh. But I managed to kill it. I don't feel any powers, though. So... why's that?"
"I don't know, man," Kain says.
"What the hell do you mean? You told me if I killed that wolf I'd be a lone wolf."
"Yeah, like I said. I don't have a fucking clue. Maybe try murdering a family. That's what I did."
"You want me to—?"
"Okay, bye."
Kain vanishes. Magic or something. I don't know. I don't care. He just disappears, leaving Ronkai standing there like a dumbass. Did he get any character development? Who knows. Maybe he learned he's useless and that his purpose is to be alone forever. Poetic, in a depressing kind of way.
Anyway, that's the end of this story. Chapter concluded or whatever. I know there's a lot of unresolved stuff, but I'm busy. Gonna go hang out with the other narrators and complain about my job.
