"Why do I get a feeling I'll be explaining this to a lot of people in the near future?" Mokou rolled her eyes. If she was to really be around here, she'll have to be more open about herself, she thought. "Well..."
"I'm from Earth, yes, but more specifically, I'm from a world called Gensokyo. Not a lot about Gensokyo was known to the others on Earth... until their exodus out of the dead world, of course. Gensokyo to be exact used to be a little pocket dimension that used to be situated near a lake in Japan. It is home to anything that was forgotten in the "outside world", so things like old and obsolete tools, mythical folk creatures such as Youkais, and even ancient buildings are found in that wonderful land." Mokou explained with a bit of difficulty. It's quite hard trying to explain the entire notion of what Gensokyo is to an outsider. "Now, when Earth was swallowed by the growing Sun, a bunch of residents on Gensokyo also fled using their own way. Something about storing their soul inside an object and leaving them to the care of some evil spirit that's been haunting a shrine. To this day, I cannot understand the thought process behind that: I wouldn't want to entrust my soul to an evil spirit."
"Anyway, almost everyone went into this huge chest; and the chest was put into a different dimension by the evil spirit for safekeeping. This spirit is called Mima by the way; anyway, after doing that, Mima left Earth to look for a new place to create a new Gensokyo. But a couple of us could not get on board. I don't know what happened to two other people that were with me; probably also left Earth by some method since one of them is probably the smartest person in the history of being smart. But I was stuck on Earth, without hope of ever meeting anyone else or doing anything I liked. But for better or for worse, a meteorite struck the ground right in front of me. The shockwave from it had so much energy I was literally blown off to space faster than the escape velocity."
"You might be asking yourself, how are you still alive if you were from Earth and didn't travel through a space ship?" Mokou smiled as she stopped walking, gathering Ethan's attention. She gathered a bit of energy, then suddenly a pair of wings, burning brightly like a phoenix's, emerged from her shoulder blades.
"I have the power of the Phoenix in me." Mokou explained as she extinguished the fiery wings so that it won't burn the borrowed tank top. "I drank something called the Hourai Elixir a long time ago, and it gave me the curse of immortality. Hourai Elixir is the reason why every time I die, I resurrect. It's also the reason why I wasn't put into the giant chest I mentioned earlier; since drinking Hourai Elixir apparently pulls my soul entirely out of the cycle of life and death. I used to look back at that moment and think, I probably shouldn't have drank it. Living for this long was such a bore, but with so many new places to explore, I actually change my mind about that."
