March, Part 2

That night Ethius continued walking in the direction indicated. On the way he came across a lake, he knew it could wash off the blood if it got wet.

It was the first time she felt the water, now that she considered it since she obtained this body she had no time to experience anything but pain. Nor was he an idiot knowing what had happened to the creatures that were with him in the room.

But he didn't understand how or why ... Maybe ... Maybe it had to do with that black thing that they injected ...

At this time his mind was clear, no, "clear" was not the most accurate description, perhaps it would be more accurate to say balanced. His ego was dominant for now, but the emotions of others were too strong to keep in check and whenever something upset him, the shock made him go wild.

And yet the impression that that human who was part of what happened that day had left on him was so strong that he refused to ask for help, so he decided to go to the nearest human city.

He was aware that it was not the wisest decision.

His path continued from step to step, although he could get there faster if he wanted to, apparently now thanks to one of "them", he could levitate and do other things, I do not try to experiment, since he did not even know if this state would last longer even time. The only thing on their mind was going to the plane that had been built for them.

He and the others were aware of that place, thanks to the system that informed them of what would happen a few months ago. They could have been moved earlier and experienced what physical reality was like, but each of them decided to wait. They hoped, although small, that perhaps those people with whom they had no contact, in some cases for years, would become interested and would return to share time with them.

Until they were summoned, it was strange at first and now that they thought about it, they should have realized it on the spot. That if these people were interested they would first contact them in AR, but what they received was directly the call to the physical world.

Without questioning they accepted and the next thing they saw was a group of strangers who attacked and immobilized them. These people treated them like lab rats, and that's why they got what they deserved ...

He didn't know if their connection to the network was cut by the people who summoned them or by the state they were in. They were not used to being so isolated in their digital life they were constantly surrounded by information, now on the contrary they were only with their consciences, with no one around, no one who wanted to get close at least. Animals, at least the ones he could feel in the distance, avoided him.

At some point in the march, he began to question how he should refer to himself if in the plural or as a single entity. They all concluded that for the moment they would act as one, Ethius as the one who could control the body was under the influence of the others so, for now, they were a "single" being.

The hours and the night ran their innate course, and at some point, he began to feel eyes watching him. They weren't doing anything more than that, so he didn't worry, if they didn't do anything to him he wouldn't respond.

But one of the consciences I remember and insisted that it could be people from the group that had captured them, Ethius responded by claiming that if they were they would have already attacked them, perhaps it was simply a traveler with curiosity ...

He continued his course until dawn came. He still couldn't see the city in the distance. But he made out some aircraft in the sky heading in that direction.

He had gotten used to the silence that accompanied him on his journey, but it stopped when his whistle ended in an impact on his back. They immediately accompanied him more and more until he had to jump in the middle of the wave to avoid them.
