Chapter 2 - Little light

memories of all the times I've entered the black room along with passing out began to return to me and I was amazed at what I saw this time, instead of a horrid unrecognizable blur I saw a grand purple tapestry that was torn to shreds and with large chunks missing, the only whole part of the thing is some words that were written in an unknown language that I'm somehow able to understand.

'lighter'

'heavier'

"Hello?"

"FUCK" I yelled loudly in fear as I sew a ball of silver light pop up behind me.

The light dimmed a bit and backed away quickly and was visibly shaking

"mean" it muttered with a shake in its voice terrified at what just happened

"I'm sorry?" I said confused as I looked at the ball with interest.

it was a dim silver light (was brighter before being so 'rudely' scared) and was around the size of a tennis ball. it was just floating there but it was as if it was looking at me with distrust and its brightness started to flicker, looking like it was trying to work up the bravery to talk to me.

"I...I just wanted to ask if you knew where we are...sir" it asked in a quiet meek voice as its light quickly dims as if scared I was going to yell again.

I look at the strange ball and couldn't help but think to myself 'cute' I want to apologise to the ball properly but can't work up the nerve to.

"from what I can tell 'little light?' were in a dark room"

"But...but I already knew that and who's little light?" it responds not understanding my sarcasm and still a little scared of me.

"well you haven't told me your name, have you" trying to use a jokey voice but the little light became, even more, dimmer in response.

"I'm… sorry... I don't have a name" it responds thinking that answer will anger me. I look at the light worried thinking that I might have scared it for life by yelling.

"do you know where you came from?" I ask "no" it mutters

"you don't need to be so scared around me you know"

I say trying to calm it down. I was never good with handling children and it seemed that little light had the mentality of a shy one.

"I'm not" getting slightly brighter but still clearly terrified

"you just scared me a little by sneaking up on me. That's why I yelled, so u don't need to be scared, for now, I'm just going to call you little light and can you help me try and work out what that thing is?  if you want we can try and figure out your situation as well" I say as I point to the purple tapestry.

Little light seemed to get greatly brighter after hearing that and floated up and down as if in agreement, I went to pat her head when we both heard a loud voice.

[congratulations] an announcer like voice sounds in our heads

"FUCK" both me and little light yell at the same time in surprise it not knowing what the word means, it seems that I've already started to corrupt its pure personality.

[you have bonded with a young AI]

'Well, that answers one question and opens a whole lot more like the hells an AI' I think to myself.

[young AI wishes to be called 'little light' do you wish to enter AI tutorial]

"ye.. yes?" Little light responds a bit nervous due to the new voice.

[as an AI for the gravity system, you are the only one able to open the menu for the user known as 'jack' and can quickly access all information for the current level and below, also a small amount of info from the higher levels if 'jack' wants to know what level he needs to be to do a task, while it is not necessary for you to do, you can tell 'jack' if there are any sudden updates in the system because you are the only one who knows when something happens unless 'jack' sees it himself later.] [you can also sort the system screen as you please but it is recommended you move it in a way you are both happy with for easier use.]

'I have SO MANY QUESTIONS' I think to myself not knowing what to make of half the words used.

[the user 'Jack' was unconscious and the AI 'little light' was yet to be created when first logs were entered so current logs are currently unread, Welcome again to the system, goodbye]

"you... never welcomed us in the first place the fuck you mean 'Again'."

"The fuck?" little light repeats, I need to watch my language around it.
