The Realm Of Reklaan

Chapter 4 - Galen

Galen was on his way back from the grocery store. He had not bought anything since the store had been closed. Galen was a bit troubled. Ever since the day he saw Rory and Jake have that fight he had been feeling a bit weird. He had a warm feeling in his body which sometimes burnt. He had told Aunt Emma about it and he still remembered the worried look she gave him before saying, " It must have been something you ate, dear .'' However Galen felt otherwise. He was now sure that what he saw in that extra class had really happened, however when he went back the next day, he had found out that Rory had left campus due to unknown reasons. This was even more strange since their extra classes were supposed to be there for three more weeks. Galen had a strange feeling that it was somehow connected to his meeting with Rory. Since she had cancelled so suddenly, the university had had a new extra class for them. However this was a dull class about origami. Galen didn't have anything against it but he and the rest of the class had looked forward to the sword fighting classes. Another thing, Galen had looked forward to was seeing Rayne again but he had been disappointed because she was nowhere to be seen on the campus. However, one of her friends, Quinn was a new addition to his math class. He hadn't approached her because Rayne's  friends hadn't seen him properly that day and he doubted Rayne herself would remember him.

Galen then noticed that he had taken a wrong turn and had ended up in a deserted street.

"I better backtrack, who knows how far I ventured into here."

Galen had been so deep in thought that he hadn't noticed his surroundings. He was about to back track when he noticed a girl standing in the center of the road. She had her back turned towards him so he couldn't see her face however she did seem familiar to him. Suddenly he noticed something in front of her. It was lot bigger than her, and it looked like something out of a nightmare. It looked like a big dog. Well that's the closest he could describe it as.

"I didn't think such ugly things exist." Galen thought as he looked at it with apparent disgust. Then he saw that it was about to pounce on her.

"She'll definitely die if that thing gets her. But how the hell should I save her!"

Galen was now panicking but he saw that the girl was still calm .

"What the hell, I don't think she can see that thing otherwise any sane person would have run by now.
But I guess I should have too then."

Then all of a sudden he noticed her get covered in a green light. It was same as to when Rory and Jake fought. Quinn suddenly moved and when she moved, she moved so fast that Galen could barely see her. And then, in one quick moment, it was over. The monster was on the floor and slowly disappearing. She seemed satisfied and continued to walk down the lane, away from Galen. Galen was thinking of going up and asking her what she had just done and what the hell was the thing she had just fought.

Galen thought,"But most likely she'll deny it like Rory did."
