Arceus how long has it been since I fell here?... Since the last prayer you ignored?
I turn page after page in my oldest diary on hand... ah, here it is... July 15th...1852. I was only ten back then, when I fell into the past as my sister watched, most likely unable to do anything before I was gone. That date was 14 years ago. 14 years I've been trapped here, 14 years since Lady Cogita found me, dazed, scared, and crying for Cynthia.
I'm most likely dead back home in my original time.
But a new hope has come in the form of another unfortunate boy, Rei I heard his name was, sent by Arceus itself he claims. However, if I am honest, that hope is most likely misplaced, that thing has ignored me for 14 years, what makes me think it'll answer to the poor boy?
With a chirp from my Togepi I close the book, place the little pokemon into a sling around my chest, and go the only way I can.
Forward.
