Monody

You woke up staring at a grey smooth surface. You were laying down on something soft, a cushion of sorts and your eyes was greeted by a bright source of light which is all too familiar felt warm on your face. You try to recall any information on where this was or what was happening but it all lead to nothing, you can't remember anything. Frantically getting yourself up to a comfortable sitting position to think, sudden jolts of continuous pain overwhelms your head which instinctively causes you to lay back down and close your eyes shut. Streams of information of different faces and places were forced into your head. 

'This One has the world revolve around the Theocracy Government. ‘Equi’ the Deity that oversees the world since the dawn of time. It chooses Leaders to will of Its every Command.'

The pain was agonizing but then, a single voice could be heard.. Kid... Kid! You focused your mind on the voice to dull out the pain. The pain disappeared immediately without a trace and as you slowly opened your eyes, a concerned face was looking right at you. He explained that you had fallen asleep on the way and he heard pained whining noises from the back. You meekly explained you had a bad dream which the driver then reassures, you're safe with him and gave you a warm smile. You cautiously got your body to an upright position and to your surprise, no pain was felt this time. You let out a sigh of relief and your curious eyes began to wander to your surroundings. It was a busy street with different buildings of shapes and sizes occupying the sides, facing each other. The car had parked at the front of a tall building which a black sign with navy blue letters that says 'U.I.A' can be seen on top of the entrance. The taxi driver who had already went outside during your short look-around is now at the back of the car unloading your baggage. You hurriedly got out and helped him but was quickly brushed off as he firmly stated it was his job and was still concerned with that pale face of yours. Sensing he wouldn't budge, you thanked him while providing the fare with a generous tip for the ride. He flashed a grin and wished you good luck on your training while getting back in the driver seat and took off. Then, you felt a faint nagging feeling in your chest... You braced yourself preparing for another wave of excruciating pain, instead a lingering feeling was imprinted in your heart. The feeling which you can clearly describe as the need to get Stronger... but.. why?
