The Lost Morningstar

🌷Chapter 46🌷

Salem POV:

Being butt naked in unknown territory isn't ideal nor is it great for my body because my balls have shrunken to conserve any bit of heat left. This realm is messy almost like a jungle with vines everywhere and weird looking things trying to kill me, I've avoided all those deadly beings but covering myself with mud so I can be camouflaged with the surroundings.

I'm still tripping out over having powers. How cool is that? Although I'm oblivious to how I got them but I'm grateful for the new gift especially at times like these.

My legs are wobbly from all the walking and the rain is getting heavier meaning I need shelter before I freeze to death but hope is near as I see a mini cave ingrained in the side of a cliff, hopefully it's rent free and no-one is inside. I tip toe my way to the darkness and settle inside not wanting to explore further down for danger could be lurking and I don't want that.

Tonight I sleep here in a cave hoping tomorrow makes a bit more sense but my eyes have decided to shut allowing me to get drowned in sleep.

"Salem..."

What?

"Salem...come to me..."

It's a voice calling from beyond but my head kills when I start trying to decipher the person's voice.

"I'll be there to save you...I won't lose you again..."

Again what?

"Stay hidden and away from danger... I'm on my way dove."

The voice fades out and I'm awoken inside the cave where it seems the rain has stopped and sunlight is out, the word dove feels so familiar on my mouth yet my mind is too foggy to respond to the meaning of that name. Also who the fuck was speaking to me? Sounded deep and husky but also dangerous plus why would I trust a voice in my head? For all I know I could be delusion and made up voices to cover up the fact I'm lonely. Whatever it may be I don't think I'm in the right state to be trusting strangers.

I leave the cave and traverse the muddy lands in hopes of finding some people or anything really.

It seems like the animals or whatever they may be are more violent during the night so I must make haste in order to avoid sun down.

I stroll through the jungle humming a random tune to bring some light to my day and it does lift my spirits slightly, this realm seems chaotic but during the day it's the opposite... almost surreal. Even in it's beauty I must remember to be careful anything could jump out and kill me.

Speak of the devil as I mention danger I hear bushes rustle and twigs snap almost like this thing is in a hurry to catch me but not on my watch.

I take off sprinting.

Fuck the pain in my foot my life is about to leave me and I've only just begun experiencing it. I hear the crushing of boots splash in the muddy puddles gaining on me which doesn't boost me with certainty so I try taking a short cut down a slope which I clumsily trip and fall dirtying my body even more, I get up and continue hearing a demonic voice call out my name.

"SALEM! WAIT STOP RUNNING!" Anyone in their right mind would continue running from such a scary voice, I'm bloody surprised I didn't piss myself but right now I'm running on pure adrenaline to help me out.

The thing gets closer and I make the mistake of looking back and I see a red looking dude who is aggressively pursuing me and I almost pass out, the beast, thing, hybrid growls at me when it gathers more speed then wings sprout out and launch the fucking thing at me but I use the slippery floor to slide under him and watch him crash. I giggle to myself which was a mistake as the monster sets all the trees around me in fire and I start panicking when it comes closer, I only have a stick maybe he likes fetch? But he doesn't as he snaps the stick in half leaving me useless.
