╔══════ ∘◦Nucleus+Backstory: DMC Entry◦∘══════╗ ⧉ i n s t r u c t i o n s ➼ FULLSCREEN is advised ➼ Click and drag to zoom ∘◦NUCLEUS◦∘ Age: 16 BACKSTORY:( i just reread this for the first time in like 5 months and now i feel like this is cringe so I will rewrite it XD) This story starts when Nucleus tried to convince his best friend, Stella (age 15, blond flowy hair and blue eyes prone to sarcasm), to run away from Interstellar Space Training League [Camp 37 on planet Yed Prior s] with him. Their camp Tsar was going to assign them to entirely different planets light years away from each other. 2300 hours (11:00 p.m.) "We can run away together, just the two of us!" He pushed the suggestion on Stella. He was sitting on her bed while she was laying awake staring at the roof lost in concern (it currently is past dark and their curfew) "Do you even remember what they did to the last two that tried running away?!" she asked imagining the terrorizing scene it would be if they tried something like that. Nucleus knew very well what had happened to the last two. He could still remember the horrifying screams from the electromagnetism chamber (it was never meant to be a room that everyone associated death but leave it to their overruling Tsar to change that.) That room scared Nucleus more than anything in the world........well except being away from his girl. There was just one problem with life at this point (well besides the possibility that he might be separated from his love) Stella didn't know that she was the only thing he ever dreamed about or longed for. He had waited for almost half a year trying to find the courage to tell her and now it seems like he might never be able to tell her. Oh how much he wished they had more time. "Well at this point the only thing i care about is being with you", Nucleus said, gesturing to how he really felt about her but then feeling uncomfortable he hastily added, "and NOT getting separated from my best friend." Stella had to admit that she herself did not want to be away from her lifelong friend. No one could ever replace him. But no matter how much she wished she would never leave him she could never risk a one way trip to the electromagnetism chamber for her or Nucleus. Stella sat in bed and focused on Nucleus eyes, "Look i can't risk dying over this. At least if we never see each other again we still know that the other is still out there in the universe." She got out the bed and reached for her trunk and flipped open the latch. From inside her horad, she pulled out an old leather pouch (it is really rare to have anything made of leather because it's as precious as gold) and from inside she retrieved a dangerously glowing green spheroid. It floated in her hand while particles danced around it. Nucleus could see the intimacy in her eyes for this mystical orb. She soon handed the thing to him. "What's this for and the heck is it?!" Nucleus had never seen anything like this before. Stella sighed,"It's in case we never see each other again. It will help you never forget about me." 'Trust me there is NO WAY i would ever forget the girl of my dreams',he thought. "Thank you" he said as he threw his arms around her. Later that night: Nucleus couldn't fall asleep (but seriously who would be able to in a situation like this?). All he could do was lie awake while his mind kept running away. He looked over at Sella's bed and wondered if she was having as much trouble sleeping as he was. 'If only you knew Stella. If only you knew.......',his heart whispered. 'Why did you have to love her? Why can't you just let her go?' He couldn't stand it. He walked over to Stella's side. He didn't know why he had done this but he felt that it would break him if he couldn't see her face at that moment. She was lying back up with one of her arms hanging from the side of the bed with just a little dribble running from her lips. Nucleus laughed softly. "You are still beautiful in your sleep.", he whispered, gently brushing the hair from her face. Suddenly his smile faded from his face. 'How could I have asked her to run away with me? She would have to risk dying for me and then we would be forever on the run if we even got away from this wretched place. ' he thought bitterly. 0100 hours (1:00 pm) Leaving the note by Stella's bedside, Nucleus turned to walk out. "I'll meet you out there ok?" he quietly asks Sella knowing that there was going to be no response. "Don't worry everything is going to be alright."
