[Zanpakuto speech from the inner world]

'Where am I?'
In the middle of a thick forest, a man can be seen lying down on the ground, with his eyes open, looking straight up at the sky above.
With messy black hair, an average shape face with nothing standing out except for one thing, and that is, of course, is his eyes.
Instead of having one iris in, both of his eyes have four irises creating a cross shape of the sclera in the middle of both of his eyes.
His attire consists of a white shitagi, a black kosode and hakama, a pair of white tabi, a pair of waraji, and a white obi.
(A/N: In other words, it is just normal shihakusho, and did I copy and paste that part? Yes)
And next to him is a katana with a blue scabbard and a tsuba shaped like a square.
Slowly the man starts to sitting back up.
'I'm in the middle of the forest? And what the hell are these clothes? Also, most importantly...'
''Who am I?'' He said
''The last thing I remember is that.....''
'Well shit, I can't remember anything.'
[Ah!! Swear!!] A child's voice rang out, but more interesting is that it sounds like instead of one, two children speak simultaneously.
The man eyes widen, and he quickly looks around, trying to find the source of the voices.
[Hm, it seem he is finally awake, and not only that, he seems to hear ****** as clear as day, and here I thought he was going to sleep here all day] This time, a mature female voice rang out, with a hidden harness in it.
[You do not to be rude with him now, from the look of it, he seem as confused as all of us here] This time, a male voice rang out that seemed to carry a lot of elegance, and yet it sounded very stoic at the same time in it.
[Well, if he can hear us then... *inhale* OI MASTER!!! CAN YOU MAKE THE FOG DISAPPEAR!! IT GETTING ANNOYING!!] A female child voice rang out
[OI!! You stupid snake!! You don't need to shout like that!! Just because he hears ****** doesn't mean he can hear us!!] A more mature female voice rang out.
[What was that for you stupid monkey!!] The female child said.
[Ah, there they go again.] A female voice rang out, but this time it had a lot of elegance and beauty behind that voice, but it also sounded cold at the same time.
'What!? What's going on?! Do I hear voices!? Am I going crazy!?' He thought
[AH!! THE FOG IS GETTING WORSE, AND THERE IS A STORM NOW!!] The 'snake' voice shout
[Hm, it seem that he can hear all of us, how interesting] The stoic male voice from before said
'Oh my god, I am crazy, ain't I!? Not only did I have no idea who I am and waking up in the middle of nowhere in a wried cosplay, but I am also now hearing voices in my head!! Am I really...' Before the man thought could continue, someone cut him off.
[SILENCE!!!] A loud echoing voice of an old man rang out in his head, and just like that, the man thought come to a stop.
[It seemed that this child could hear all of us without any prior training and seem to be as confused as all of us here. I suggest all of you to stay silence, I will be the one who do the talking] The old man voice said with authority toward presumably all of the voice in his head
[Now child, you can hear us correct?]
'Um, yes?'
[Good, then I want you to close your eyes and start concentrating while holding the sword next to you.]
'...Ok?'
Even though the man has no idea what is going on and possibly millions of questions are running through his head, he still listens to the old man voice, maybe because of the authority of the man voice that makes him want to listen to him? But for him, it feels like it is much more than that.
With that, the man grabbed his sword and put it on his lap and started concentrating.
[Now, I want you to clear your mind make it white slate, then I want you to imagine a door, any door. Now I want you to open that door, not too fast, not too slow, I want you to open that door naturally]
The man follows instructions closely as his life depends on them.
Suddenly, without any warning, he seemed to lose consciousness, and everything went dark.
The next thing that he knows is that he is now standing in the middle of a white platform, and around him is probably the weirdest thing he has probably ever seen.
Around him, is all kind of different lands. He can see a massive sakura tree in the distance while surrounded by snow and a thick green forest. Even though there's snow falling from the sky, there is no snow on any of the leafs of the sakura tree or any of the normal-looking trees.
With all of that combined, it creates a scenery that is truly one of a kind.
Another part of the land is a volcano that seems to erupt anytime soon while the sky around it seems to rain thunder around it.
From its look, the volcano seemed to be at the centre of all lands around the area, and where he stood is just a plain white platform that a bridge that leads into all different kinds of land, that somehow to be unclear to him.
''Hm, this is very interesting. When you appeared, all of us seemed to get teleport away, well, except me, of course.'' A voice rang out from behind him. It was the elegant and stoic male voice from before.
When he turned around, he was greeted by someone standing behind him.
He has long, dark brown hair, which frames his face with two chest-length bangs and is tied up in the back with a white ribbon in a long ponytail that reaches his lower back. His face is covered by an ornate mask featuring golden teeth, black lips and fangs, a golden protrusion on either side and a golden headpiece shaped like three cherry blossoms.
He wears a long, light purple kimono with white stripes running down the centre and sleeves, tied at his waist with a long piece of white fabric that hangs down in two long loops in the front. He wears a red-gold pauldron on each shoulder, connected by a golden band with strips of red fabric hanging from it and two interweaved strips of red fabric above it. He wears red, elbow-length gauntlets and red greaves.
(A/n: Did I copy this from the wiki? yes, I did)
''Who are you?'' He asks
''Me? I'm a zanpakuto.''
A/N
So there is the first chapter. I hope you like it.
Also, in the part where I describe the scenery of the inner world, I make a lot of references there, like the sakura tree one.
To put it simply, the sakura tree is Senbonzakura, the snow is Sode no Shirayuki, and of course, all of the forests is Zabimaru.
You probably know why all of them are at the same place the same place.
As for the volcano in the centre, I will let you guest it. And let me give you a hint, there are two zanpakuto in that part.
Now then ciao~
