Broken, yet still robust (Gwain Saga X OC) -ONGOING-

Chapter 4 - First day on the job

As the sun rises, flowers begin to bloom, animals emerge from their dens, and Teoran's society awakens from a peaceful night... There is, however, an exception for one man. In a guest room, in the upper quarters of Gwain Castle, there is one individual who continues to recuperate hours of sleep.

Kataklysm was stirring quietly into his bed. After two minutes of agitation, he turned over the edge of the bed, practically bending his head above the ground. He finally woke up and noticed that he was on the verge of falling!

-Oh merde! (-Oh shit!)

With his body numb, he fell headfirst to the ground. He struggled until the blankets let go of him. He quickly got back on his feet, realizing that he had nothing to worry about.

Then, his eyes finally started to hurt. He closed them once more and fumbled his bed desk. After he put his hand on his viewfinder, he fitted it between his eyes and activated it. His eyesight returned, and he looked around him.

The sun's rays penetrated the room, along with a gentle breeze filled with fragrance. The bed sheets were in a mess, and Kataklysm tried to make it back a little more inviting.

With that done, he noticed something he should've seen since a bit : he felt dirty, and with good reason. After all, it had been several days since the human had taken a shower. He quietly made his way to the bathroom and turned on the hot water. He took advantage of the temperature change to remove his accessory, pants and underwear. The water became hot enough and he turned on the shower mode.

Without hesitation, he stepped in and started to rub himself. The young man felt the dirt and grime leave his body, his wet hair finally fell back into its original position, and his wounds pulsated as the water flowed over them.

He appreciated the moment for a few more minutes, not giving a simple thought of what will happen to him today. When he was done, he got out of it and turned off the water. He grabbed a towel and dried off before putting his clothes and his new visor back on.

Then, he saw a toothbrush and a toothpaste tube right next to it. He was so tired last night he forgot to brush his teeths ! But he wasn't gonna make the same mistake twice. As he brushed his denture, he kept asking himself if he should go out of his room or wait until someone arrived to tell him what to do. He figured it would be very rude of him to wander around, so he decided to stay here. If they needed him, they knew where he was, that's all!

After tending to his teeths, he made his way to the chest of drawers beside his bed. He opened a few, but they were all empty. At some point, he would surely have to get some clothes. Get some ? With money ? Surely they don't use the same currency as on Earth, so what are these poor colored plastic bills worth ? A question for later, he supposed...

He picked up his shirt and his socks, and put them on. He didn't want to equip his sweater, for it was hot in the room. However, he did take the mp3 reader that was inside his sweater's pocket. And then... he turned his attention to the breeze.

Kataklysm felt something... intoxicating coming from the rays of light. It wasn't feeling like the magic coming from the Teorans, but more like natural magic. He got closer, embracing the sun's heat. With his mp3 in his hand, he slowly selected Song of growth and played it with his bluetooth option. The human closed his virtual eyes, ready to do his meditation.

(Author's note : Please read it slowly at the second paragraph after this one, to bring more immersion!)

He started to slowly move his hands in the air, feeling the wind between his fingers. Unlike his other sessions back on Earth, the wind was giving something more supernatural and bewitching. He moved his legs slowly in random directions, living this more-than-wonderful moment.
