Well, I'm not finished, so here's Part 1 ! More to come soon!... i think..
Spoiler: click to toggle Yume Kuro lay on her bed, staring up at her ceiling with her arms crossed behind her head. Her dog, Kumo, lay to the right of the bed. Kumo looked sort of like a wolf, only he was a lighter white, like the color of a cloud. Kuro turned to Kumo, and started stroking his soft fur. Kumo made a sound halfway between a sigh and a groan. “Hey, Kumo, don’t be so grumpy, you like being pet.” Kuro said jokingly, crawling out from under her covers to sit beside him. Looking out the window to the right out the bed, Kuro saw the stars twinkling in the dark night sky and the full moon. Kuro sighed. “I guess I better get back to sleep.” Climbing back into her bed, Kuro, laid there until she finally fell asleep.
Kuro was dreaming. She was on a tiny ledge that looked like it was inside a cave, except she couldn’t see the bottom of the cave or the ceiling. Only a soft glow coming from above Kuro and below her was a dark abyss. The cave was narrow; its walls were slightly curving inward around a rope bridge that was in front Kuro. The walls of the cave were, oddly enough, a deep brown color that didn’t look like the color of any rock that Kuro had seen before. Behind her was the end of a short tunnel, with a bright white light coming from the entrance. “This is odd. I wonder where this is. It’s unlike any place I’ve seen before.” Kuro mumbled, not realizing it was a dream it was so realistic. “I wonder what’s over there.” Kuro started to walk towards the bridge, when she heard something growl, “Hey, you’re not going anywhere without me, are you?” Kuro gasped, and looked up. Above her some creature was materializing above her on another small ledge. The creature was white and had small scarlet wings. Its fur was spikier along the top of its head and in a straight line along its neck and back. The creature’s claws were huge and it had a long silver spike on the joints in each of its four legs. And, strangely, the creature kind of looked like Kumo. “K-Kumo! What happened? You got wings and-and you’re all spiky and stuff!” Kumo turned his head and looked at himself, sniffing his wings. “I’m not sure I know either.” “You can talk!” Kuro screamed. “Yeah, I guess I can. Now lets go see what’s over that bridge. I’m curious to know what’s over there, too.” Kumo leaped off the ledge to land beside Kuro, and started trotting over to the bridge and gave it a sniff. “Looks stable enough.” Kumo started walking across the bridge. “Kumo, wait up!” Kuro ran after Kumo. Walking across the swaying bridge, Kuro saw another cave entrance after the bridge ended. It took longer to walk across the bridge than Kuro thought it would. Kuro stared at the entrance of the cave. The entrance was in the wall of the cave Kumo and Kuro was already in. “Do you think we should go in?” Kuro asked, uncertain, still looking into the entrance of the cave, even though it was so dark she couldn’t see anything. “I didn’t walk across that giant bridge for nothing.” Kumo snorted, running into the cave. Kuro sighed, “If you say so.” and followed Kumo into the cave. Inside the cave was Kuro saw a long stairway leading down through another cave sort of like the one she just came out of. Kumo had already started going down the stairs. “Fine, just go ahead, don’t wait for me, I don’t really care.” Kuro mumbled to herself, following after Kumo once again. When they got to the bottom of the stairway there was another cave entrance. And just like the other one, it was pitch black until they went through. “Whoa.” Kuro gasped as she looked down in amazement at the world below her. She could see a city from a birds eye view they were so high up. In the city the buildings were built in a large spiral formation, with three rings in the spiral. In the center, a cluster of tall skyscrapers stood in a circle around a large, flat building. There was a huge star over the center of the city, and rings of smaller stars around it, but the rings of stars ended when they reached the edge of the city. The light only reached a little farther than the huge stone wall surrounding the city. Kuro and Kumo were on a huge cliff standing above the strange city, and weirdly, there didn’t seem to be a way down. “Pretty awesome, huh?” Kuro spun around to see who had talked. Behind her was a girl wearing a sleeveless shirt hat was silver on the top and a dark gray on the bottom. Her pants were black and had a pattern of golden roses going up the left pants leg. The girl had long boots, but the toes were open. They reminded Kuro of ninja sandals. On her hands were long fingerless gloves with a diamond on the left one. She had two daggers in a belt around her waist and a katana strapped to her back. But things got even weirder in this strange place ‘cause to Kuro’s surprise, the girl even had wings, animal ears coming out of yellow hair that fell over her green eyes, and a tail! The bird wings were a soft white color, and her ears and tail were of a fox’s. “Who, no, WHAT are you?” Kuro exclaimed, astonished. “H-how? What?...uh, I” “Hehe, I was sent by God to come take you to Heaven.” The girl said, smiling. “WHAT?! YOU MEAN I’M DEAD?! “ Kuro screamed, with a look of distress on her face. “Yup. I’m an angel.” “B-but how? I’m not, I mean, I don’t remember dying?” “Yeah, happens to most people.” “But, but, what about-“Kuro started. Kumo hid his face in his fur, trying not to laugh. “Jk! I was sent here to come bring you to the Hall.” The girl said happily. “HEY!” “Haha... oh well.” The girl smiled cheerfully. “The what? And why did you abbreviate 'just kidding'? It's really not necessary, ya know? And that really wasn't funny, either!” “Oh, you'll see what it is. And, yes it was necessary.” Kumo rolled his eyes at Kuro. “Uh, who are you, and why do you have, well, you know, wings and stuff? Like Kumo? I don't even know why he's got wings in the first place.” Kuro asked a bit nervously, mumbling the last part. “Here, I'll explain on they way down to the city. Oh, yeah, I'm Hikari. And you are?” “I'm Kuro, and this is Kumo, and how are we supposed to get down there? Its so far down.” “Hehe..just use your wings, silly!” Hikari handed Kuro a mirror. “What! How did..I mean... that's really weird!” Looking in the mirror, Kuro saw that besides her normal looks- black pants, tennis shoes, a black T-shirt with red tiger stripes on the sleeves and back, light brown hair and dark blue eyes- she had white wolves ears and tail, and scarlet wings. “This is SO strange... how did this happen?” “Well, I'll explain on the way down. Hope you know how to fly!” Hikari pushed Kuro off the cliff. “HEEEY!” Kuro screamed, closing her eyes so she wouldn't have to look at the long drop ahead of her. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I'm going to die! Come on wings, flap or somethin'! Kuro thought, trying to stop the free fall herself by flapping her wings. Suddenly something heavy hit Kuro's back, spinning her around, knocking the breath out of her lungs. Kuro opened her eyes out of instinct and saw Kumo falling beside her. “Heh. Sorry about that. That Hikari person shoved me. Ah, here she comes.” Kumo pointed in the air with his snout to behind and above Kuro. Looking in the direction that Kumo was pointing at, Kuro saw Hikari spinning through the air, to suddenly open up her wings creating a parachuting affect of being shoved higher into the air then, -after positioning herself into a more horizontal position- gliding down. Kuro studied Hikari's flight, trying to see what she was doing that Kuro wasn't. Kuro tried flying again. Eventually both Kumo and Kuro got it right, and as they were gliding down towards the city, Hikari started talking. “Okay, so you wanted to know a bunch of stuff and get some explanations, right? So I'll tell you, but no interruptions and questions are afterwords, okay?” Both Kumo and Kuro nodded. “Okay, so here goes. Right now you are dreaming, but don't think that this isn't real. You may be sleeping far off on Earth or whatever dimension you're in, but whether you like it or not, you have been transported here, the land of Yume. I'm not making any sense to myself, so I'll explain it a different way. You're from Earth, right? Have you ever seen the movie Avatar, the one with all the blue peeps in it? Well it's sorta like when the main char. is transported from his blue peep body thing and his normal person. Only you are here in Yume, and you're still normal. And yes it was necessary for me to abbreviate 'character'. It's what I do, and it takes less time to talk. Now back to the main point. Here in Yume, is the city Suta, which is right below us. It is the only city or town in Yume that you can get to without the Doors. I'll explain about the Doors in a minute. 'In Yume, there are monsters and creatures called Akumu. Akumu can destroy the fabrics of universes, and they delight in destroying the homes of the inhabitants and the inhabitants themselves that live there, and making them suffer before throwing their dimensions into oblivion. The Akumu will destroy everything, even themselves, just to satisfy their hunger for death. So the Masuta has been summoning people here through their dreams to get rid of them forever. Some people have special abilities, such as being able to run at the speed of light or move rocks by just thinking of doing it, but that's pretty rare. Some people are skilled enough at destroying the Akumu that they will become permanent warriors of Yume. Others, well, when they wake up, they will forget their dreams completely, or just have tiny fragments of it, and will never be summoned back here again, or only just once. Don't worry about death here. If you die you will wake up. But then you'll probably die very soon afterwords....like after you wake up..... 'cause that's what happens, and it wouldn't be fair to the rest of reality in general. 'Onto the Doors that I talked about earlier. The Akumu can go practically anywhere they want to. Except Suta of course. The Masuta built a powerful wall around Suta, weaving his -…..well.....lets just call it magic and be done with it 'kay?- weaving his magic into the wall preventing Akumu from getting in and that's the only explanation for the wall. Now lets get back to the Doors. Okay, the Akumu can go prac- wait I already said that. Okay, onwards! Again. Since Akumu can go anywhere, there is a long hall of Doors that only Doakipa can enter. You can only become a Doakipa if the Masuta wishes you to become one. Naturally I'm a Doakipa, and I'm one of the Masuta's chosen messengers, or Messenja, and that's why I was the one that was sent to go get you. Anyways, the Hall of Doors has the Doors, but I just said that too, and the Doors are all marked with a number, and sometimes also a name or description. Some Doors have red X's painted on them. Never, ever go into those Doors,'cause the Akumu have taken over the insides of the Doors. Behind each Door is another dimension, and there is a Door for every dimension in the Hall of Doors, and in the Hall of Doors another Door can be created at any second, but usually it takes from a few hours to even a few months for a new Door to appear for a new dimension. The number of Doors never goes down, even if an Akumu destroys the dimension the Door leads to, because technically the Door is in Yume, not the other dimension. So you may be wondering how someone would get back to Yume if they went through a door how would they get back? Well, if they succeed in destroying the Akumu, then they have to take it's heart throw it in a lake or some type of mass of liquid, then if you go into the lake or whatever it will act as your portal back to the Door you came from. Kinda disgusting, but that's how it is. Don't ask me why, 'cause idk, go ask the Masuta. And yes that was necessary. And yes, I saw you roll your eyes Kumo. Oh, yeah. The whole point in the Doors is to get to another dimension and destroy the Akumu before they destroy the dimension and eventually get to Earth (I'm from there too!) and Yume and every other dimension, and then we're all doomed.... obviously. So, any questions?” Hikari said, smiling, not even the least bit out of breath. “Uhh.... could you repeat all that? I don't think I caught all of it, I wasn't really paying attention. Hikari? What's wrong? You looked really annoyed.” “Okay, here it is ya piece of cr....never mind, you better listen this time. Okay, listen up. Right now you are dreaming, but-” “Haha... never mind I got it all.....I think.” “Kuro!” “Sooooryyy.” “Hey, who's this Masuta guy you're always talking about?” Kumo barked. “Well, I guess you could say that he's the ruler of Yume, and Suta, and the Hall of Doors, 'cause he kinda... made 'em. He can do stuff like that and break the laws of physics and stuff. It's not really magic or science, it's just an ability he's always had, I guess.” “And this Hall.. is it the same as the Hall of Doors, because I thought you said that only the Doakipa or whatever could go in there.” “No, Kumo, they're actually very different. You already know what the Hall of Doors is, but the Hall is where the Masuta usually lives. It's over there.” Hikari replied in an annoying a-matter-of-fact voice, pointing to the cluster of buildings in the spiral-shaped city. Kumo and Kuro both couldn't tell which building Hikari was pointing at, and by now they were right over the city's wall. Kuro sighed. She couldn't be expected to believe everything with only Hikari's word to trust, but here she is, with wings flying over a strange looking city with a strange looking dog and an annoyingly talkative strange human.
