Guardians of Azthralz

✨9- Arcadian Realm ✨

As I crawl more into this lightless field, I realize that the vicinity is losing its luminosity. I can't count exactly how many hours I spent walking in this lightless field.

This seems so endless! I am helpless walking in emptiness.

I am given two choices - stay and die of cold or, get up and fight for my life.

I do not give up easily, kaya naman tinulungan ko ang sarili kong makatayo at harapin ang nakaabang na hamon.

It is a torturous to invade into an alien land and not having sight.

I'm starting to worn-out, I feel knackered, my whole body feel so beaten and I'm now shaking involuntarily because of the freezing wave that nudges through my skin.

I immediately try to look for my phone inside my bag.

After scattering all my things, sa wakas! I found it.

I switch it on just to be disappointed to figure out that there's no signal in here!

Tangina shit naman! Bakit ngayon pa?!

I raises my hand to find a perfect spot to locate signal but I am hopeless!

I know that I am not on Earth, I maybe now in a different realm. I'm an outlander in this uncommon world.

Where am I?! I asked myself.

I try to scan the surroundings using the flashlight of my phone but only a shaped spiked stone that is erected from different places I see. "Is—-is—a—anybody he—here???!!! Can—someone hel—-ppp meee?!!!" I stutter.

Bigla naman akong natawa sa sarili ko, kung nasa alien land nga naman ako, paniguradong may kakaibang lenggwahe silang ginagamit dito. Paano naman nila ako maiintindihan?!

Minsan talaga Gaia!

My knees are now wobbly and because of my depleted strength, I knelt on the ground.

What I can only hear is the thunder of my heartbeat, my gasp and audible exhales.

It is sudden when I saw a sparkling dots in my surroundings, its like fireflies but with different color, it resembles that of an unclouded sky around noon.

Napakaganda nito, as much as I try hard to appreciate it, hindi ko magawa dahil naduduwal na ako at sa sobrang hilo ng nararamdaman ko, hindi ko man gustuhin, pero nadadapa ako.

I am trying to open my eyes para masundan kung saan papatungo ang mga kakaibang ilaw na ito. But it just that, ang hirap labanan kapag ang buong katawan mo ay para bang ubos na ubos na ang enerhiya.

I am now crawling.. trying to catch them... as if they are luring me to follow them, so I abide.

Suddenly, I see someone walking toward me, I can't see it clearly as I'm feeling nauseous and shrouded hidden by dark in shade.

"Lumos?" I asked while he offered his right hand for me. I try to discern his face but I can only see an aura, a glow the illuminates the surroundings. I'm maybe wrong but I can sense his vibes and frequency.

"Who are you?" I heard him ask.

"Gaia Azura De Lune." I answered. I don't know why I said that. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ko sinabi ang pangalan ko. Alam kong wala ako sa dimensyong pinangalingan ko, and I think it's not wise for me to tell my name.

Especially to someone who is a stranger...

"Gaia Azura." He said. And a cool breath that nudges my skin makes me lost my consciousness in his arms.
