"My destiny cannot be changed..."
An orange-haired boy was running inside a dark forest where no light could touch the ground.
Escaping from something wanting him from getting his freedom.
Life will always find its way to get you into things that you shouldn't have.
"This isn't what I wanted..."
The little boy huffed out a breath as he looked in every direction just to see an exit inside this unescapable forest.
"I need to find my way out..."
He looked up and stared at the deep dark green leaves.
He needs to get higher ground.
He began to climb the huge tall tree and began crawling up.
His hands got splinters from almost falling to the ground.
Even if it hurts he needs to find an exit immediately.
He reached the top.
And for the first time.
He squint his eyes from the blinding light that was above the sky.
His skin became warm instantly as he felt like he wasn't dead all this time.
A tear fell on his cheek as he saw a wide view of what he was missing all his life.
Colourful birds we're flying freely and not in a cage.
The air was fresh and new because of the dew of the morning rain.
It's a miracle he is still alive.
"I don't want to die."
He said as he looks at the clear blue sky above him and the thick forest below him.
It looks like he has been living in a different world.
But as he was having a moment.
His eyes caught something that piqued his interest.
A mountainous area was found just kilometres away from where he is.
It felt like he was being called.
But why?
A chilling feeling ran down his spine as he saw something huge fly above the trees on that strange mountain.
It was a bird.
But that big?
Impossible.
He thought as he rubbed his eyes ever he'll get to see it again.
But it did not to no avail.
It was brightly coloured.
It must have been his hallucinations because he jas never seen this kind of place before.
He thought as he began to search for ways how to get onto that mysterious mountain.
"WHERE'S THE KID? "
"We don't know sir? We lost him as soon as he ran from our sight."
"Find him immediately! Or we'll lose a large sum of gold!"
"Yes, sir!"
The kid was now far away from the captor's grasp as he is near the mountain.
It was already nighttime it seems.
But the kid can see through the darkness.
It was normal for him but not for most.
A huge golden seal was blocking him from getting inside the mountain.
"What is this? Is this what they call magic?"
The kid said as he remembered his captors talking about him being different from the rest of the population.
On how natural the colour of his hair is, his eyes that can glow in the dark and his mystical features.
The kid shrugged the thought off as he needs to find a way to get inside the seal that was preventing him from doing so.
After hours of trying, he got exhausted from climbing anything just to get through.
He can hear voices nearing him from the thick forest he just came from.
He began to tremble in fear as he thinks about getting captured inside the small cage again.
He knelt in front of the gate and began to pray.
He didn't know why but it was his instincts that told him to do so.
"I came here to ask for your help...
I do not want anything but only freedom...
I am willing to give my all as long as I'm free from this hellish place where I used to live...
I am scared...
Please...
Oh please...
Just hear my pleading voice...
I want to be free."
"THERE HE IS TAKE HIM IMMEDIATELY!"
"GRAB THE GUN, FASTER!"
"SHOOT HIM!"
"AH-"
A bright light is shown in front of the golden seal.
The kid was still kneeling and praying as his captors were shooting at him.
As if time stopped.
The orange-haired kid opened his eyes and saw his life.
Everything was silent.
As if the people did not even exist.
It was only him and a figure in front of him.
The man in front of him was so familiar.
Who could it be?
He was at peace and tranquillity.
The man reached his hand onto him.
The kid then reached to grab the hand of his Saviour.
"Welcome home... Sol."
