Immortalia

Forest

This is life waking up facing the good old mister sun. My body is relieved I don’t know why but I feel much more comfortable when I’m in the wild.  Lance is really tired. Looking at him makes me feel a little guilty. If it wasn’t for me, he is sitting comfortably in the institution compared here lying on the ground. He might have just slept a while ago. I better look for some food.

          Outside the cave you can see different fruits which are edible, thankfully. I walk back and forth to gather foods and try roaming farther to look for some water and river when I noticed somebody spying at me.

          “Who’s there? Show yourself unless you want to get hurt.” Still no one shows up and even answer.

          I still continue walking until I reached the river when a sudden flashback of my memory returned. It is the same place, a river also but a different forest. I am with a guy called Raven when somebody hit my head. When I recomposed myself, I am surprised on what I saw in the river. My reflection, it’s been a long time since I saw myself. I almost didn’t recognize myself. There were minor scars and my hair got longer.  Never mind that because this is the time for me to wash myself. Suddenly, someone appeared across the river.

          “Hey you filthy Lightseeker, say your prayers now because you’re going to die today.”  Droplets of water are forming into shards of crystals then flying towards me.

          “No!”  Then I covered my eyes because I don’t know what to do. I think I am just waiting for the shards to cut me. But when I open my eyes, I just saw my attacker lying on the side lifelessly and bleeding. I am scared I am in shock; I keep on running and running until I don’t know where I am running to. I just call the name I can think of.

          “Lance! Lance! Lance! Where are you?” I sit on the ground and started crying. Father help me, I can’t do this anymore. This is too much. It’s so frightening. Why don’t I just die?

          “Ally, are you alright? You’re soaking in sweat. What happened?”

          “Lance” I don’t care anymore. I hugged tightly until I felt safe but my tears just won’t stop falling.”

          “Ally talk to me, what happened? Don’t scare me like this. Talk to me please.”

          I can hear Lance but my mouth can’t even utter words. I’m still scared. I really thought I’m prepared to die but I was wrong. I need someone.

          “Ally, can you hear me?”

          I want to speak but I can’t.  He carried me back to the cave. I also wanted to protest however my body is too weak for that. When we reached the cave, he pats my head until I calmed down like a parent comforting their child. He even sung a lullaby for me. What a cute guy!

          “Ally, are you alright now? Tell me what happened?”

          “I –I was a-attacked by a-a Ni-nightwalker. A rogue I think.”

          “Why did you leave the cave? You should’ve stayed here or woke me up.”
