CHAPTER 5: First Step

I'm almost convinced I'm already dead because I'm flying and hovering in the clouds!

Who and what are you? I asked through my shaky voice. The height of the ground might kill me again if I open my eyes.

You have so many questions "Lady," he said, as I felt the wind softly touch my skin.

Well, my name is Shomri, and I am a protector, specifically your protector, and I swear to be with you on your last mission till the end, as long as the odds will still let me, he added.

I do have this feeling that I am regretting asking him questions again, as my mind can't process the things he would say.

To have my mind a little peace, I decided not to open my mouth again and ask questions, but just wait for the person he was referring to.

I wish this person would explain everything to me, but there was one thing I still wanted to ask about the protector and last mission, but nah, I didn't ask again.

I tightly closed my eyes and wouldn't have realized we'd arrived if I hadn't heard laughter beside my ear telling me it was safe to go down. When I opened my eyes, something twinkling and shining was flying around me, and when I squinted my eyes, I saw a damn what? A fairy! What an incredible situation to find myself in!

I opened my palm and let the fairy sit on my hand. Something came to my mind. Will the fairy be crushed if I close my hand?

What the hell? What on earth was I thinking? Poor fairy, she didn't know I was thinking of murdering her. Forgive me, little fairy I said to my mind.

I'll guess you are thinking of something murderous for that poor fairy, aren't you, lady? I was a bit startled when I heard his voice while I was looking through the fairy flying to her friends.

What? Of course not! I said, defensively.

Ah, uh, really? "Just by the look of your eyes, you are planning something," he said, teasing me.

Tsk, can't you just shut your mouth? You are talking nonsense, and where did you take me? My patience is wearing thin. You are bringing me to a place that I'm not aware of and I'm warning you, do not bring me back to that scary and psychotic man! I stated unequivocally.

He took a deep breath and motioned for me to follow him as I decided to take a first step. Why was there something telling me that in this place I would find my life? Is my whole life a lie? I felt a pinch of pain in my heart when I thought this.
