Wanderer (Color: Yellow Elden Ring fanfic Chapter 1 completely)

Summary: She died. Her child unborn. A heart shattered. However, she is commanded to live for another. Now, she must do so while trying not to fall apart and try to survive to find her purpose.

“The boundaries between life and death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say were one ends and where the other begins?” – Edgar Allen Poe

Lightning stuck at the skies and the skies cried in turn. The darkness was broken by the illumination of two lights. The sound screeches tires followed by the sound of something and metal slamming on the ground. Over and over until it finally stopped, allowing silence to return back to the skies. Darkness soon engulfed the lone vehicle and the lone woman that laid dead within.

Dark brown snapped open, revealing a dark sky, slowly she sits up, looking around at the vast darkness before her.

“So I am dead… My child… Oh my child…” She began to weep as her hand quickly went to her now flat stomach. “Why were we not enough for him?”

There was no on there to answer her question as she closed her eyes once more, pulling her knees to her chest, resting her head upon her knees as she continued to weep. She weep for the life of child lost and for the fact that she was too weak to leave early on.

*Weep not, young maiden. Life will be birthed anew. Take to the wheel of life and bring forth peace upon this shattered world.* A soft male female voice called out causing her tears to slowly cease.

“Who is there? I don't want to live… Not without my baby,” She asked, her head snapping up, her voice cracking as felt tears slowly well back into her eyes. The thought of her lost child caused her being to fill up with sorrow once more.

*Thee child would not want thee to weep. Rise strong, maiden. Become the new goddess. Bring forth an age of true life. For I shall grant thee the power too. Thee will find a young god weeping for a mother. Go forth, young Calysta. Thee world and thee child call for thee!*

“Wait-" Calysta screamed out as she tried to stand only to fall backward as if some type of force was pulling her down.

She let out a scream of fear, as she fell, not know where her body was to land before she knew she landed hard onto the ground. Her vision blurry as she felt something cold and wet touch her hand. As she tried to move, her body felt extremely heavy as her eyesight began to fade once more as she noticed some kneel down and speak something she couldn't make out. She fell back into darkness once more before she knew it she awakened once more. Slowly, she managed to get to her feet, unsteadily she walked forward only stopping after a few steps when she heard herself step into water.

Calysta looked down, staring at herself in the reflection of the water, she could see that nothing really changed, her skin was still the same caramel color as it always had been, her eyes had slight bags underneath them. However, the main change she noticed instantly was that her long black hair was longer than it was previously stopping at her ankles. One other thing she noticed was that she was not wearing the clothes she had on previously instead she appeared to be in wearing white and golden armor. She also had a long piece of cloth hanging from her waist nearly touching the ground.

Upon her left side was a sword within it's sheath, hesitantly, Calysta reached over, grabbing the hilt of the sword and drew it. As soon as she pulled it free, she looked over it, while it appeared to be a normal sword, however, near the base of sword was a golden head of a bear upon it. As Calysta returned the sword back to its sheath, she looked to the right and noticed a large shield resting upon the ground. Walking over to it, she was slightly surprised to see that it was also a white shield, she could tell that it was slightly heavy as she lifted it from the ground.

She glanced closer at it, and she could see that near the top it had a pair of wings with two blue stoned near the base of the wings. Calysta also noticed the golden flame like engravings that came from the tip of the winds. After she adjusted the shield so it was strapped to her arm appropriately, Calysta began to slowly continue forward, no matter how much she wanted to just sit down, and forget everything that happened to her. She ed what the voice had told her, so she kept going forward.

“Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming,” Calysta murmured brokenly to herself as she finally made her way forward.

Calysta looked around the damp cave, taking note of something glowing nearby as she got closer she realized that it seemed to be a extremely young tree. However, unlike the trees she was used it, she could see that it seemed to be completely golden with some type of golden aura coming from it. Calysta's attention soon deviated from the tree and toward the door that was at the top of the stairs. Slowly, she made her way up the stairs, making her way through the door, as it opened she was greeted by a long hallway that seemed to enter a large chamber filled with pillars.

As she walked down the hall, she noticed a glowing gem like object that was in the center of the hall. She reached out touching it when she suddenly felt a warm sensation that was similar to the feeling of the suns rays gracing her skin engulf her body. As she pulled her hand away, Calysta turned her hand to look upon her palm expecting some type of burn, but found nothing upon it. Slowly, she lowered her hand down to her side looking up she continued to walk forward into the room of pillars.

Upon glancing around the room, she couldn't see any other way out, however, as she continued past the columns she stood upon a button, causing her to jump in surprise as the elevator ascended upward. As she reached the top, she noticed another staircase in front of her, letting out a soft sigh she continued up the second set of stairs. Calysta noticed that the door wasn't like other doors and seemed that it could only be opened from the bottom. She crouched down, slipping her fingers underneath the door before heaving it upward, releasing it slide upward and into the ceiling.

Calysta raised her hand up to shield her eyes from the bright sun once her eyes were adjusted, she slowly lowered her hand and took in the grand sight before her. Despite being in a place completely different, she was in awe at the sight of all the plant life she could see. However, something within her told her that looks were deceiving, that something in this world was rotting while also stagnating. Calysta stepped forward to see where this new life was to lead whether or not she was ready.
