Wandering Alone

Chapter 2: The Silhouette

What do you mean?

The figure questions the silhouette.

"There's no time for questions now Sanya, follow me.."

The figure (or Sanya), follows the silhouette around the place. They travel far to random places, places that seemed to be repetitive, places that seemed the same as the last place with piles and piles of sand. Where is Sanya being taken? Why has the silhouette not spoken yet? And how does it understand Sanya?

After few hours of silence, the figure starts to get wary.

If you can hear my thoughts, where are you taking me?
The figure questions.

But there were no answers.

The silence carries on for a while until they finally reached their destination. The area, place, seemed so deserted and abandoned. Yet the atmosphere was so full with vigour, with various kinds of living organisms dallying and lingering around the place. And there! Standing before the two were 7 uncanny portals, one of them being in a form of a cave.

"This is where your adventure begins.." spoken the silhouette, "And where your time will soon come to an end".

What do you mean?

"What I mean is, Sanya, you have been chosen... as our savior"

Savior? Is there some kind of problem? I don't understand..

"Everything will soon make additional sense as you make more and more progress in this journey"

What did all of this mean? Sanya thought, but before it could get an answer, the silhouette was already vanishing before its eyes.

"Meet me at The Cave That Teleports..." said the silhouette as it starts to get more and more faint, "Then you shall get all the answers you wish to hear." And before Sanya could take another breath, the silhouette disappeared in front of it.

What is it supposed to do? The silhouette never gave it some instructions, just that it was their savior? Who's savior? What was Sanya suppose to be doing?

After several hours, minutes, seconds of Sanya just wandering around the place, there were still no answers. Sanya just lays there on the ground, facing the blue blue sky and its singing and chirping birds. There were many kinds of those flying creatures, big or small, smart or not, and many beautiful colours that makes them all stand out. Sanya starts to count how many there were one by one. One, two. Again and again. Six, seven. At the end, it counted 26 flying creatures. Then it counted again from the beginning, one two. But this time counted only 25, one of them was missing.

Suddenly, Sanya heard a chirping sound but it sounded so very close. Sanya sat up straight and discovered a little blue creature, it seemed to have caught Sanya's eyes.

The little creature started to move slowly away from it, giving Sanya an urge to follow it. The little creature lead it to one of the seven portals, in that portal seemed to be nothing but dark and gloomy atmosphere. Yet as soon as the little creature ran inside it, it didn't take long for Sanya to realise it wanted it to follow it. So, with a little bit of hesitation, Sanya walked inside the gloomy portal.
