Hi from reality English (2022)

Adult

(Part of the story can be read in the chapter "Behind the fence")

"Karis, there's something again..." Rahmet approached.
"What's now?" I asked irritably, tearing myself away from the book. What a joy to read.

We found a library, all the books there were, of course, tainted by impurity, but we dipped them in the Sea, the impurity died, and what remained was just a regular book. A bit soggy, but only slightly. It didn't hinder the reading. I hadn't seen books for so long, and finally, there was time to read.

But Rahmet didn't pay attention to that; he understood it wasn't directed at him, it was about the situation.
"There's this huge beast over Sea. Black, with glowing eyes. The reflection hid around the corner and is whimpering. Apparently, it's not impurity."

I exhaled confusedly and stood up. Over Sea, as far as the eye could see, indeed, a dark bird had spread its wings. It covered the horizon with itself and touched Sea with its beak, apparently drinking.
People rushed to the shore, though they should have hidden behind concrete walls.
"Kariss, what is that? Will Sea protect us?" someone asked. I watched the monstrous sight unwaveringly.

"I think so, but just in case, take cover in the house," I ordered, and Rahmet began herding everyone inside.

I approached the black water and touched its surface with my palm.
"Ashkhaina?" I called.

He immediately appeared beside me.
"This monster... is your friend?"
"I hope so," Sea shrugged with a narrow shoulder.
"And who is it?"
"An adult. You wanted to find them, right?" Ashkhaina smiled, warmly looking at the creature.
