Return of the great warriors (Enhypen ff)

5.In another Dimension

We ran among trees which spread all over the forest. The tree tops covered the sunlight so, day and night had no difference inside. Still we ran for our dear life because we were chased. We went far into the forest but, he didn't give up. His foot steps haunted us until we found a good cover to hide ourselves. The cave has been standing there for a while has been my regular covering for sometimes during the missions I have done my life. There I found peace in mind because it was only visible to the ones who knew it was there.

That day I was heavily wounded after a deadly fight against the demons who have been attacking innocents in the Water world. I got rid of most of the evil forces and lost a large amount of blood. I was not in a position to fight so, I escaped by my assistant's aid walked into the woods. Then I heard an extra pair of steps coming behind. Someone was following me. Even though I had the urge to confront him I wouldn't win it. It is always a could strategy to retreat than a risky gamble. I found this cave when I was most desperate.

It appeared again when we were most desperate. Fighting the unknown enemy was not a smart move we couldn't afford our identity to be revealed that early.

After making sure we were safe to come out we got out of our hiding to see a lake. It was peacefully flowing not knowing what was happening in the shore of it. At the same time we saw the busy fair across the lake and even they didn't know the danger across the lake in the dark forest among the trees. "What is this place?" Jungwon asked looking at the fair across the lake. That place had nothing special not a feeling of existing sorcery. It was bland and dull but cheery in a unique way. They were being invincible to everything without a knowledge of the enigmas in the surrounding.

"Here magic doesn't exist. This place is too normal to be true." Human realm had three tiers among them were the royals with immense power to rule their land. Then next were the creators who could perform sorcery and what mattered was their purpose. If it was for good will they will always be warriors in the three realms but if they had a bad will they brought doom to the livings. Not everyone was gifted to be a creator because they were descendants of heroic individuals who had legacies written on their home land by sacrificing themselves for the well being of it. The books said the first creators came from the heaven to protect the human realm from evil forces. They surely did blend in well that some were deprived by the greed that they started following evil footsteps.

Lastly the locals lived a peaceful life because the creators were their knights in dark armor. And we were standing in a locals' village who were living their monotonous life style. The busy fairs, decorations for the festive seasons, celebrations among families changed their monotonous life style. "We'll find a place stay for the night here."

The restaurant we entered was filled with the people who were on their way to homes after a tiresome day. The drinks they had washed away all their troubles and worries and they made new friends while pouring their hearts out as an after effect of what they had. It was an easy life they were living. They didn't have enemies coming after them with the death in their hands. They never saw battlefields and immense bloodshed like us. On second thoughts their lives must have had hardships which we never got to see and life itself was a battle which everyone was obligated to fight to survive. 'If there was anyone who had no worries in heart or mind is truly lucky' I thought to myself.

"Two rooms would be all right." Heeseung has already done the reservations while I was dealing with my own mind. The days were getting more and more challenging. We didn't know what we were going to face after the sun rises the next day. We were never sure whether we'll get to see the sunset and the starry skies at night but, for the time being we have survived another day without noticeable damage.

The sleep came easily to me than the day before because I had a sense of accomplishment after finding another warrior. When I was gradually falling into the arms of sleep I heard someone say."The battle just began" Then I fell deep into a pit and was dragged along a dark corridor while I was powerless. It felt like I didn't possess energy to fight the force dragging me and I heard a door been opened and shut again.

When it ended I got the vision back after the sudden concussion I felt I was in a room where everything we went through during the day played in a sphere in front of me. Someone watched us going through all that. That person watched us coming to the human realm as well. Then he started whispering some foreign words as if doing an enchantment. A black mist took over the sphere but at the same time it was subsided but, then again that black mist took over the sphere faster. I was in the bed and was sleeping. I was confused. If I was standing next to this sorcerer who was sleeping or was that the real me sleeping because I remembered going to sleep last night.

I looked possessed fighting against no one but my hands flying, hitting and gripping on to something invisible. It must have made a huge commotion that both Jungwon and Heeseung barged into my room. They looked worried but suddenly the sphere went blank there was nothing but a mist of emptiness beneath the glass.

The sorcerer was taken by surprise just like me. It seemed the sudden interruption of the scene was not in the plan. Then all of a sudden she turned at me as if sensing my presence but then again she went back to her own business. Before I could think again I was dragged back by a huge force.

The door was opened again and closed then I was pulled again through darkness.

I woke up sweating and panting as if I just came after running for a long time. I saw Jungwon and Heeseung looking at me as if I was a savage animal who was rescued off from the wild. But the only thing that haunted me was the face I saw in my dreams. But was it really a dream?
