It was a dark wintry night, the Moon was full and it splayed it's silver rays all over the Earth. I was silently asleep in the comfortable warmth of my bed, when suddenly something woke me up- It was a voice that echoed in my head.
"I am Liberty." It said.
"What do you want?" I asked in a tone muffled by confusion and sleep.
"I need a face." It replied.
"But I don't look good." I frowned.
"You look nice." It said. "Just perfect."
"I am weak."I said with a sad, low tone.
"No, you're free!" It said "I need you as my face."
I considered his proposal for a minute, then overcoming all my hesitations I agreed.
"OK" I said with a surprising confidence.
But no one replied, everything became silent; It seemed that all this had been a silly dream. And just when I was about to forget everything and go back to sleep, a pain rushed through my nerves causing me to shriek. It seemed that someone was stabbing me over and over again. My lungs collapsed, my chest ripped open and my heart fell out, my brain melted and seeped out through my ears. I died and I could see my body lying lifeless as my soul drifted above it.
Then suddenly a lady with white skin, long, blonde hair and a long, leather jacket appeared from thin air. She was wearing a curious pair of video glasses on which the image of the word 'Liberty' flashed. After a long dramatic pause she took off her glasses and smiled at me. Then with a fast, fluid movement she took something out of her pocket- It was a small Sun!
With her free hand she lifted me up and placed the fireball where my heart had been. She winked and my chest was sealed.
Then from her other pocket she took out a cloudy orb- It was the sky!
She pushed the orb through my ears into my skull which caused my soul to be sucked back into my body.
And finally the lady snapped her fingers and instantly I was on fire, she then disappeared. The fire grew and grew, it's flames wrapping me like a blanket, until my whole body disappeared into my funeral pyre. After the flames turned a bright shade of pop blue and from the smoke emerged a tall, slender figure clad in metal.
With the power of the Sun and the freedom of the sky I spoke-
"My name is Lord SvaTantra." My voice reverberated in the Universe. "And I am the liberator of this world."
After that a blinding light was seen in the sky and the world was never the same again.
