<center>'''CHAPTER 1: MYRIAD OF LIGHTS


---</center>

Silence fills the air of the Cathedral as Volt wanders through its barren fields.  He isn't really sure of anything - how he ended up here, how he got this scarf, why he's still wandering instead of running back home - but right now, he was especially unsure of how the massive underground structures of Chargio could experience night.  He has only his own light him on his way through this strange, unfamiliar land.

Unfortunately, Volt's light is too dim and too short-ranged to make the journey any easier.  He struggles with the strange rock formations in his path, entirely unsure of where he's heading.  No structures stood out in the night, nothing to guide the Sparkling on his way.  Tired of bumping into rocks every two seconds, Volt sits down and sighs.  He didn't want to be here.
----
:'''Volt''': Just great.  Wonderful!  Thanks, world, for putting me on this big wonderful adventure of slamming my face into rocks!

''Volt produces electricity from his fingertips, causing him to recoil in fear.  The electricity grows and shoots towards the ground, chipping the rock and stirring up dust.''

:'''Volt''': ...and thanks for making me some kind of monster!

''Volt tugs on his scarf, which refuses to come off.  He sighs again and slumps down, defeated.''
----
Suddenly, as if the world could hear Volt's complaints, a myriad of light forms in the sky - a stream of strange lines, moving their way through the sky.  Lighting the path gold and green, the lights continued on through the sky, a massive cloud of color.  Volt got back up with newfound optimism, set on reaching the source of the lights, regardless of what it was.  He had a path to follow, and that was enough in that moment.

:''Today is gonna be the day''
:''That they're gonna throw it back to you''
----
As Volt continues, he finds the deactivated husks of several Grunts.
----
:''By now you should've somehow''
:''Realized what you gotta do''
----
Through a crack in the rocks, Volt sees a massive orb of light - the source of the stream.  He continues on, in awe of the lights.
----
:''I don't believe that anybody''
:''Feels the way I do about you now''

:''Back beat, the word is on the street''
:''That the fire in your heart is out''
:''I'm sure you've heard it all before''
:''But you never really had a doubt''
----
The runes on Volt's scarf begin glowing brightly as he continues on his path.
----
:''I don't believe that anybody feels''
:''The way I do about you now''
----
Suddenly, the path becomes far more defined - as if already built.
----
:''And all the roads we have to walk are winding''
:''And all the lights that lead us there are blinding''
----
Volt sees the orb of light on the horizon and sees a silhouette within it.
:''There are many things that I would''
:''Like to say to you''
:''But I don't know how''
----
Volt begins rushing towards the orb, using electricity to blast through anything in his path.
----
:''Because maybe''
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
:''And after all''
:''You're my wonderwall''
----
The silhouette in the orb turns to look at Volt and lifts a hand, increasing the size of the orb and the intensity of the light.  Volt continues on anyways.
----
:''Today was gonna be the day''
:''But they'll never throw it back to you''
----
Volt reaches the edge of the orb.  The silhouette raises its other hand, pushing Volt back.
----
:''By now you should've somehow''
:''Realized what you're not to do''
:''I don't believe that anybody''
:''Feels the way I do''
:''About you now''
----
Volt pushes back, entering the orb.
----
:''And all the roads that lead you there were winding''
:''And all the lights that light the way are blinding''
----
Volt sees the being in the orb - another Sparkling, with holes covering her body.  She looks back in fear.
----
:''There are many things that I would like to say to you''
:''But I don't know how''

:''I said maybe''
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
:''And after all''
:''You're my wonderwall''
----
Volt manages to struggle his way to the woman, who curls up on the ground.
----
:''I said maybe''
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
:''And after all''
:''You're my wonderwall''
----
Volt looks down at the woman.  He tries to speak to her, but the white noise of the orb blocks him out.
----
:''I said maybe''
----
The woman gets back up and tries to speak back, but is also drowned out by the white noise.
----
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
----
Volt hugs the woman tightly and tries to speak to her again.
----
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
----
The woman cries and the orb begins shrinking.
----
:''You're gonna be the one that saves me''
----
Volt and the woman both breathe heavily and look at each other.  Both are silent for what feels like hours.
----
:'''Volt''': ...it's okay.

:'''???''': No, it's not, this is...  this isn't how I wanted this.

:'''Volt''': So you knew I was coming?

:'''???''': No... well, yes, but... look, I just want to be alone right now.

:'''Volt''': Alright.  Thanks for lighting the path, I guess...?
----
Volt continues on his way, climbing out of the crater the orb of light left.  He wonders what occured back there, but isn't really sure if it's any weirder than the rest of the day's events.  He decides to rest for the night and sits down against a rock, already half-asleep already.
----
:'''???''': Sabel.
''Volt wakes up, startled.  He looks beside him and sees the woman standing over him.
:'''Sabel''': My name is Sabel.  I'm sorry about earlier, I'm just... it's a long story.  I don't know how to say this, but I'm... kind of a zombie? And-
:'''Volt''': What do you mean by that?
:'''Sabel''': I should be dead.  Like I said, long story.
:'''Volt''': When I woke up, I was up on the surface living a pretty normal life. Look at me now.  I'm kind of going numb to weird crap like this.
----
Sabel and Volt sit down.  Sabel briefly opens her mouth to speak, but Volt quickly drifts back to sleep, but Sabel stays awaken, still startled and confused.
