Chapter 2 Waking up to chaos

Olympia's POV

The first thing that I feel as I wake up is my legs moving on there own and the smell of burning debris and I hear the sound of someone singing a soft song.

~Dear friend across the river~

~My hands are cold and bare~

and I hear screams and sounds of fighting in the distance. I feel someone holding my hand wen I try to look up at them there is something over my eyes, then I realize that one of my own hands are over my eyes.

As soon as I realized that I tried to move my hand surprisingly it took a lot of effort to move my hands. my limb's where moving on there own accord and wen I tried to move them how I wanted to it felt like they where sleeping but after a little while and a lot of effort I managed to move my hand.

As I move my hand away from my eyes and look up I saw someone standing right in front of my eyes and to my shock it was Vi from Arcane.

~Dear friend across the river~

~I'll take what you can spare~

As soon as I saw her I started to freak out out.

(Me: am I hallucinating? am I in the hospital? is this my dying brain making up fake images in a last ditch effort to stay alive?!)

Is what I was thinking until I realized that I could actually feel her hand in mine and I remember that wen you are hallucinating you can't feel the things you hallucinate so in other words this has to be real….. I think?.

Then I realized how much bigger than me she was.

(Me: Why is she so much bigger than me I'm 18 years old and I'm 6 feet tall!! What's happening?!)

I thought but As I look down on myself I see that I'm not only really small but I'm also wearing completely different clothes then I did before.

~I ask of you a penny~

~My fortune it will be~

Is this a dream I thought but it feels to real to be a dream as I look around i think that we are walking on a giant bridge I see fire and smoke everywhere and what seems like dead bodies lying around everywhere it was CHAOS.

I can still hear the singing and that's wen I realize that the one singing is me?!.

I try to stop singing but no matter how hard I try my mouth won't stop moving.

~I ask you without envy~

~We raise no mighty towers~

Wen the panic started to subside slightly I realized that All of this was familiar to me.

I started rewatching Arcane yesterday after getting home from one of my part time jobs.

That's wen I realize that if this is wen and where I thought it was then I must be Powder/jinx!

As soon as I thought about that I remembered what happened about the man that killed me for a 50 dollars wen I was working a shift at the movie theater.

~Our homes are built of stone~

~So come across the river~

Damn he really killed me!!! and He had the audacity to wave the money in my face to!!! thought as I get mad.

If this is real then wen I die again I'm so going back to haunt that bastard for the REST OF HIS LIFE!!.

Wait if this is real then dose that mean that we're going to meet Vander soon?.

~And find…

As we continued walking until Vi stops and looks around and I….powder? stopped singing. we here the sound of metal hitting flesh and the sound of grunts before we see him.

At the side of the bridge is The hulking figure of a man (vander) standing over a man and hitting him after he's done he stands there for a second until he suddenly turns to us with a angry look in his eyes.

Wen he fully turns to us Vi pushes me behind her to protect me The man walks up to us and look's down to us that is wen I realize just how much bigger than us he is. Vi looks around frantically before pointing to herself will looking at him He looks grief stricken and looks forward on the bridge where two bodies lies.

This must be Vi and Powders parents I think as I look at them I feel Vi starting to shake as she starts crying. Vi falls to the ground as she cries I don't actually know her except for what I have seen in the game and series but I know I have to make her feel better somehow so even though I am uncomfortable I hugged her even if it was uncomfortable since she is technically a stranger to me.

Vander looks at the dead bodies and then back at us with a look of realization then he drops his gauntlets and picks us up.

He walks through the debris smoke and fire away from the bridge away from the death and destruction...… That was the day vander adopted us the two girls he had found that day on the bridge.
