A Hero's Journey Narrative

Darkness.

That was all I saw when I awoke. Where I laid was absent of all heat, sending multiple shivers down my spine. I tried to move, but it proved to be unsuccessful, for I could barely move a finger. I had no memory. I didn't know who I was, or where I was. I was scared, so scared. Out of nowhere I started glowing, heating up everything around me.

"Do you feel that?" I heard a faint voice ask. Where there were voices, there was escape.

"HELP!" I shouted, hoping they would hear me.

"Holy shit there's a person down there!" a feminine voice exclaimed.

Not a moment later, the sound of rocks scraping against one another and what I thought was digging began and it kept getting closer.

Light.

That was what I was cascaded in next. As my eyes adjusted I could make out the silhouettes of two female figures,

I wanted to stay, but I needed to get my memories back first.

"I am sorry, but I must be going." I sighed walking away.

"You're not getting away that easily," said Skylar running after me. I was scared what would happen if Skylar caught me, so I ran. I ran, and ran, and ran, until I started shrinking. I eventually got small enough to where Skylar could pick me up with her finger with ease.

"Look Vishnu, she's turned into a young grasshopper." giggled Skylar. Vishnu came walking towards us, picking up the clothes I had on, it was a small, long sleeve shirt, small enough to see my stomach and a short, flowy skirt, both the same shade of boysenberry purple. "You dropped this," she said holding up my clothes, "why don't you change back. Don't worry, we won't look."

After a few attempts and a lot of panicking, I shifted out of the grasshopper, and into my human self. "You can turn around now," I said, pulling up my skirt a few more centimeters.

"Looks like you have no choice but to stay with us. Now, what should we call you?" asked Skylar. After a few name suggestions, we all decided on a name.
