As Gio took in the all to familiar scenery something didn't. from the corner of his eye he caught a gimps of something astounding. A beautiful flower, as he got closer to it he could hear a soft ringing. As he reached down to touch its crystalline frame the wind blew, shattering it. But the shards did not fall to the ground, they began to swirl around him, multiplying filing the air with a strange scent. As he became overwhelmed by the petal like shards he closed his eyes to keep from being blinded. suddenly he felt....different. he cracked his eye open to see that he was no longer where he once was. he opened both his eyes in shock and confusion as the scene before him captivated him. But the hand on his shoulder made him jump and reach for his bade. That is, untill he saw the face connected to it..."captain Viole....but...how?"

Viole chuckled, seeing the shock of Gio when he saw his face. He smiled, turning his attention back at the beautiful view "Since you're seeing this, then I'm already dead. Well dead isn't the right word, but passed on from the Soul Society. However, before my death I left a series of messages for varioius people I came across during my journey in your world. These people each have their own unique prerecorded message, depending on who the person was and what their circumstances. Gio, when I first met you, you were lost. You were looking for a place in the Seireitei. I'm sure by now that you already have by now, but if you haven't. You must remember Gio, you don't have to find a place because you already found it. The Soul Society, that is your place. Your Squad doesn't define nor does your rank. But rather who you are, that's why I decided to leave you these skills. So you can never stray from the path you have made. You have the option to each these skills to others if you wish, but please. Do your best to protect the Soul Society and cherish it. Because even a place as beautiful as this or the Soul Society" He said, his eyes slightly radiating "Can change to this" The beautiful scene that was there was now replaced with horror. The skys were pitched black, the oceans tainted with blood. Geysers of lava shot up around them and the trees were now withered and dead, instead corpses hanging from them rather than leaves. Farewell Gio, I hope this had an effect on you" He looked at Gio, his eyes filled with sadness but his smile as soft as ever. Now...its time for you to wake up Gio" He said as Gio's vision began to blur. Suddenly, Gio would wake up and realize he had fallen asleep. Naturally, most people would think of it as a dream or nightmare. But beside Gio was a notebook, with a poorly drawn chibi version of Viole holding up a peace sign. On the front of the page was a note from Viole

"Gio,

You may ask yourself why many of these pages are blank. That is because your eyes are not ready to see them yet, along with other things which you will experience. In order to see what they hold, you must first learn and master the basic skills on the front pages. Be patient Gio, they will come to you in time. Just as everything else will. I wish you luck on your journey and never forget...LOVE AND PEACE!! WAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Viole"

The next page contained the first skill
