Chapter 1 - chapter 1 - aimless

In far away distance a unknown silhouette finally start taking shapes changing it's shape from abstract to something familiar. Only for it to shake the earth with every step it take…or maybe not but something similar to it. With each breath it take in darkness cursed by evening of this unknown world, it's like giving warning to things around it to hide or let their blood swallowed by it's three huge blade like claws.

It's shape finally become something that can be seen by naked eyes. Even though details of that figure still hidden behind the darkness. It's face is pointy while size of that a double story house, 3 pointy claws on both end of hands while their size of half of it's height… everything else hidden behind the moonless darkness.

Monster around huge figure was all trying to hide…was they all hiding from dark figure in darkness or maybe… something else.

The figure reached in front of huge cave. Cave was almost twice it's size. Instead of going around the cave it's lingered in front cave like it felt something it shouldn't have. It's start moving inside the cave.

Inside cave each of it's step making a strange yet familiar sound.

Rustle! Crunch! Crackle!

Clack! Clunk! This!

Sound of dried leaves getting crushed or getting drifted apart and stones hitting each other filled the whole cave inside. Echoing like melody of hell that about descend.

Finally reaching the place that once filled a fragile human boy heart in terror he never felt before.

The place that's filled with many spikes bones making a big centepid of spine bones, even bigger than dark creature standing in front of them.

But that didn't stop the figure from moving through those bones.

Creak! Crack! Creak!

Infront of creature standing a tall wall made of stone and dried leaves… almost like a mountain.

Creature raised it's hand, shape of it was hard to tell in dark but it was like wobbling muddy waves of water raising. It raised one of its hand connected with 3 shape of large sharp blade, feeling they was giving was dreadful like they will cut anything in pieces if it's in the way. Launced it's claw forward let them open the way through moutain made by stones and dried leaves.

Creature paused for a second.

Without making a single movement for a while.

After a while creature lowered it's head. Moved it's pointy head all over the place like it's trying to find something.

After checking it thoroughly it's open it's mouth wide open. By splitting apart it's mouth there are things inside that's look like many small yet deadly pointy razor blade placed inside coming out those blade a snake like figure start wandering on soil below.

First it's gone inside the soil than come out, creature moved slowly while snake was aerating the soil.

After a while creature put it's pointy face inside the losen soil. Slowly snake come out of soil and start warpping itself on pointy head inside the soil as if they are merging together snake finally wrappet itself fully around it.

After sometime those snakes reached towards small hole of cave together.

As those snake move forward for mole , a guest of wind come through hole .

Making everything pause for a sec but with wind something comes towards the dark figure.

With wind we heard a powerful roar , like it's challenging heaven go fight it .

...

Or i should call it a demon call.

Everything around figure shaken with that roar.

Crimson light come in dark figure eyes , without any pause , it's moved toward the mountain using it's large blades not to open it .

But to destroy it , splashing broken rock with destroyed dried leaves everywhere , but it just didn't destroy mountain, it didn't stop it just keep destroying even bones , mud everything in way .

It throw a fit with full of rage until reaching the big opening of cave , with it's roaring rage everything shaking around it.

Reaching opening of cave it once again, it let out a sound of scary roar once again .

Rising both it's claw making a pose of power , like it's showing dominance.

It's opened it's mouth once again, seeing bounding of two weird looking dark snakes once again , it's lower it's head on ground like it's looking for something.

With something hitting, it open it's fully showing in darkness it's look like deadly spikes waiting to tear something apart.

With it's crimson eyes looking at above following its gaze we saw it's looking towards small tree.

...

Small tree...

Is where he is sleeping rn...

Figure slowly take a move forward making ground shake.

Part 2 edited -

After each movement creature pause for a second than continue what it was doing. More snake tangle with pointy head deep the soil start to open. but even though it felt like aeration it didn't mess soil that much specially hard top Laying staying like before just with much more holes and below snake was roaming around in those holes.

After a while tangled snake start moving forward towards the small opening at end of cave ...same place the small human boy pass his time to survive.

Before snake can reach the opening. Passing through it... made a sound.

Swoosh.

A gust of wind come through as if it's telling creature what it was seeking for. With wind followed a thundering roar of the giant creature.

Creature moved back staring at mountain of dried leaves and rocks for a moment. after that creature raised both it's hands as high it can like it's preparing for something.

Like if there a moment you don't wanna get in it's way it's right now.

Dried leaves start flying around at back even mountain of rock start shaking making a melody that sound like beautiful fairy dancing under a crimson sky in the middle of a war.

But that Beauty didn't last long just next moment the beauty got stuck by roaring thunder in the sky by war god... just like creature start splitting everything in front of it.

Without further ado creature launched forward itself hitting it's body on Mountain of rock first than another roar followed it's rage beauty in crimson sky saw everything splitting apart leaving only crimson moon in the sky... crimson reflection was burning in creature eyes.

But right now in those crimson eyes only a reflection remain... that of fragile human boy.

Creature keep on going forward toward the big opening.

Crimson sky keep Breaking apart.

Breaking every bones in war ,destroying every rock, crushing everything between it's way while melody by fairy still humming...wait... melody?

Melody start tangling with the wind.

Humping itself in ears of small human boy.

Slowly reaching the someone ears.

In far distance, at small tree, without knowing the approaching danger. A young and fragile human boy sleeping.

More his eyes closed, deeper he

Fell...

Fell...

Fell... in what?

What?

What was that dream?

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

Blurry vision.

What happened?

Ah, I feel weird like there no pain yet I feel like I want to rest. Just what is wrong with my body?

Also why my vision got blurry? Did something happened to my eyes Or I am still sleeping or something?

Well whatever I need to see what's in front of me.

Blink.

He blink again and again. Each blink bring something new in his vision. Green, blue.

He turned his head than blink again. Purple, yellow, brown. He move his more and new colours keep on appearing.

Aughh, what are these colours?

I feel like I want to know answer right now. Strangely I am not feeling any dissatisfaction from it.

He raise his hand slowly reaching for eyes and rubbed them.

Just what is going on? What's this feeling?

I don't understand.

It's weirdly familiar yet… wrong.

Why it's feel like something is taken out of my body?? But at same time I feel like asking question am I even in my body?

It felt like I am flying for a moment of I was weightless. Whatever you call it.

But well I feel like I am walking up in that dream I had. Crimson moon? Under it fairy?

War god? Who the hell name himself war god?

And a actually war people actually getting hurt…to be honest better word is slaughter of it's right word for it.

Wait how they actually look?

Fairy I don't remember much but atleast she had wings and dancing in air at top where war is going on…but hi I atleast remember she was beautiful. And next crimson moon…to be honest I don't even wanna think about it.

If that same place I am staying right now.

Anyways now weird name guy. Yeah red hair actually really feel like someone cool lucky guy. He also feel rich because he was wearing golden accessories. But well I don't know why he decided to stay almost naked with money. With how much golden stuff he was wearing I rather have a warm coat or if it's summer a light t shirt. While spending money on…wait wait wait how I have luxury to think about stuff like this?

Why my vision not returned yet?

Let's first sit properly. I feel like I was moving my head too much.

What's this? It's feel so gentle…yet familiar.

Didn't I not say the same thing before? Well who cares not like it's matter for anyone.

Actually if I have to explain it in simple way. It's like I am sleeping on clouds.

As his vision returned. He saw his hand holding a pure white flower even the core at middle was pure white like it can get dirty just by a single touch yet…he holding in his like it's meant to survive cruelty.

???

Ah????

Sudden change of environment left him too shocked to say anything. He was speechless for a while. He just stared at flower sleeping in his hand like beautiful princess.

Usually with something like this happening his would go in wonderland of thoughts. Trying to find a way out of situation or make sense how he came into this situation. But right now might be first time in his mind ever felt this silent.

He paused holding his body in same position and without taking next breath. Waiting for something to come in his brain…but nothing came.

After a moment passed he finally take a breath.

So I am not dreaming am i?

Wait am I really not dreaming?

To be honest it feel like dream yet same time not….

…I am not really good at explaining …am I ?

Finally he moved his head noticing more than just single flower in his hand. Many flowers was around him… actually there was just way too many.

It's like everything around him become some kind of different flower.

He rubbed his hand on flowers below him.

Feeling was indescribable…

The feeling of sleeping on clouds was definitely because of flower all around.

He let's his eyes take in the grace of beauty around him before doing anything.

It's not making any sense…but I think it's fine that way. Right now I don't want it to make any sense.

He give flower in his hand one last look before he enjoyed everything else.

After a while.

He finally decided to stand up.

…wait how long I was sitting here for?

Well who cares? Right now I just feel like not caring about anything.

Holding white flower in his hand.

He slowly stand up.

Letting each of his step breath while feeling the gentle embrace of flowers around him. He start walking.

Right now…I don't wanna walk fast.

I don't remember the last time I actually felt safe like this. Even though all I am just watching flowers for sometime now.

Even if it's the same thing infront of my eyes…well technically not the same there are flowers but after a certain point flower changes

New flowers I never seen before come in from of my eyes. And where I woke up there was flowers mixed together…like only that place wasn't sure what flower to keep at that place.

As he walking around he noticed something more.

He pause starting at not just flower. But there each leaves and petals. It's little hard to notice but if you pay attention it's all there.

It's not just flower colours or shapes. But also their patterns on them.

Like part where blue flowers are they not all same. There are patterns on top of them. Showing it's not same yet look like one.

He put hand on his chin and start rubbing it.

Well how do I explain it better?

Hmmm.

I don't know.

Maybe I will find right words later.

He put his hand away and start walking once again.

Each of his step rubbing against gentle flowers made a beautiful melody for ears to listen a sweet yet sour melody. Like a princess while sleeping singing a song.

…well that's one way to describe it I guess.

But still I didn't know just walking around flowers make sound like this…well…how would I know? Or remember if I actually walked around flower. All I remember is how to survive around people who looking to devour me any moment.

As he is walking a different yet normal sound hit his ears.

Rustle.

He wasn't feeling any fear or any negative emotions so he took his time to turn around.

As he look behind his eyes widen a little. It wasn't horror or terror he was feeling at the moment. But a surprise something that shocked him.

Even though I was walking around everywhere…there no flower or leaf or anything that have changed? Everything all the same as when I laid my eyes upon them…

Than what was that rustling sound?... look like I can't find any answers right now.

Let's just continue.

As he turn around to walk in same path as before. His eyes widen even more than before.

There was…there was…a path here??

In front of his eyes there a path made infront of him made out of soil… almost like flowers moved when he turned around.

He look at back once more to check.

Everything was same nothing changed at all.

He turned to look in front of him again.

Well nothing changed.

Did I just imagined that?

Or was I just lost in thought too much?

Did I just wake up standing here or something? Or I was on path in front of me and not on flowers?

To be honest I feel like I am standing at same place even though I moved for a while.

Normally this would be my point of concern but…not right now.

Strangely even though all these things happening. I don't see myself getting scared anytime soon.

Hmmm…is this even real?...or I am just imagining or maybe dreaming.

As that question appeared.

He take his tongue out. Rub it against both of his lips making those gentle lips little wet. Closing rub them together wait for a moment finally with little bit force splitting those lips apart.

That definitely didn't feel fake… But instead little bit helpful in a way…well even if it's fake how would I know? Only way to find out if I wake up somewhere else. But right now I am here so just let's do what I am suppose to do.

But still.

Hmmm.

Fuuuu.

Deep breath out.

Why I am trying to find something? When I should be enjoying it.

As start walking on path in front of him.

Walking on soil didn't make any sound so he was walking in silence for sometime.

Until.

A melody hit his ears. But this time it's not made by rustling of flower. Instead something else is producing it right now.

It's felt as if… melody is producing itself like air bringing invisible strings of strong melody near his ears. Like something getting hit yet flowing at same time…

…Invisible strings of strong melody?

Wasn't melody suppose to be always invisible?

Weird wording but I think it's still work in this case.

To be honest it's feeling like right now this kind of sound I heard before yet… something I never heard before.

I feel like strange sweetness from sound like a word want to fly or a ant attracted to something sweet.

I wanna see it.

Strangely this melody is like calling for me.

His feet start moving forward even before he could gather his thoughts properly.

Each melody felt different than one before but at same time like relative of it. First it felt little lonely, second sad, third pain…yet reaching closer it's giving feeling of happiness.
