Silent Hill: The Music Man; Prologue

In the beginning… people had nothing. Their bodies ached… and their hearts held nothing but hatred… They fought endlessly, but death never came. They despaired, stuck in the eternal quagmire. A man offered a Serpent to the Sun and prayed for Salvation. A woman offered a Reed to the Sun and asked for Joy.

Feeling pity on the sadness that had overrun the Earth, God was born from those two people… God made time and divided it into Day and Night. God outlined the road to Salvation and gave people Joy. And God took endless time away from the people.

God created beings to lead people in obedience to Her… The Red God, Xuchibara… the Yellow God, Lobselvief. Many Gods and Angels… Finally, God set out to create a Paradise, where people could be happy just by being there. But then, God’s strength ran out and She collapsed… All the World’s people grieved this unfortunate event… yet God breathed Her last. She returned to the dust, promising to come again.

So God hasn’t been lost… We must offer our prayers and not forget out Faith. We wait in hope for the Day when the path to Paradise will be opened.

There was never a time where the town of Silent Hill was ever genuinely normal. It was a smallish resort vacation town with a relaxed attitude that would definitely appear normal at first glance, which housed happy residents aplenty. It rested around and beyond the lake of Toluca and was always glistening and glittering when the surface of the smooth and choppy waters came in contact with the rays of the rising morning sun.

Cars parked themselves on the sides of the street. Cafés and restaurants and hotels were open to all. The local school and church occupied regularly and the hospitals took grand care of the weak and weary. Everybody knew everybody… and they lived life as if oblivious to the town’s history, or even the happenings around and throughout the premises.

People started disappearing. The mayor was the first to go, followed by his staff. They all seemed to be accidental… but no one can say for sure. The lake also began to take on an intimidating appearance. It became shrouded in an ominous mist, which soon came to town and enveloped it like flooding waters.

Somewhere under the strange and powerful dirt of this town emerged a group… a group of people who believed differently from others. They killed and burned Christians as witches… and even saw one of their own as nothing more than trash.

That girl was used, horribly used. A vessel she was to them, appropriate for a proper deliverance. Cruel it was, they saw it, and continued. Hard they pushed, working to keep the eyes of the public blind as bats. Just before she was a decade old, she became pregnant with a being that they called ‘God’.

A ritual was carried out for this to happen… and resulting from it was a fire. The fire burned the girl—naturally, that was the plan. It burned down the house, the girl, her room… She was pronounced dead. But… something happened. She wasn’t herself anymore. She was alive, but no longer… herself.

They kept her in the hospital… it was almost time to force her to give birth to their deity. But something was wrong.

“She’s only half there,” they said.

They left her… and called a man to produce healing melodies. A façade, it was, to keep her alive until they could figure out how to correct the problem and carry on their goal. He came… He felt for the girl, sitting in his chair next to her burnt body curled up on her bed with his violin.

Little did he know of his place in their plot… if he only knew… maybe he could have done something to stop it all… She saw this too, but could not let him go. She loved his music. It was the first time in so long… that a human being showed her any compassion and love. She was half there… but was still human.

The girl, after a time, used her powers, her anger and hate and pain… and warped the place. He was there… and only came to realize what he was being used for. He saw the pain and the hate of the girl with his own eyes… and allowed himself to be consumed. However… the girl loved this man so much… that she saved him.

She cut him in half.

And thus was he reborn.
