Chapter 3 - The village

"Where am I ?" Asked sevy to young girl.

"Seven years ago we reclaimed freedom from your empire under Yves's leadership only for this tragedy to relapse"

Sevy's eyes turned to young girl "let me show you" the girl lifting two fingers towards his head gently tapping him. Sevy had left his own body and was placed in her conscious.

They walked amoungst the trees till ariving at a leader.

They couldn't control the body's movement " there's nothing we can do" echoed across Sevy's mind in the young girls voice "This is how i died". As the body hesistaed to climb the ladder in front of her "stop". Said the girl hoplessly as she new her fate was set in stone.

A coninidence no rather a waring of what was to come.The ladder gently swayed across the tree in the genlte brezze. As the turned her gaze towards the sun amoungst the green canopy of leeves.

As they ascended the lader in spirit Sevy renlentessly asked her questions such as "why are you showing me this?", "When did we rule over this forest? it I never heard about this". "They hid..." she said as her sobs echoed in their shared consciousness with scream slowly following growing more intense with other voices as she acesended until.

She reached the top after what felt like years of climbing and a mere seconded at the same time. Bridges and ropes linked the tall forest above the clouds covering the vast landscape."Are you ok?" asked sevy .... no answer followed. "Where are you?, can you hear me?".

His own words echoed back towards him.

Her body danced across the briges under the setting sun,as she walked to the lights hiding among the branches.Sevy's mind couldn't do anything but watch as she walked under the moonlight.

The girl more accurately he body had reached the light torches scattered across branches of a tree. Her hand touched the tree. Sevy watched the tree develop human like features."This tree can talk" Sevy thought stunned at the sight of inannamate thing speak.

"Welcome back miss chang" She walked confidently fowards towards a tree's mouth it seems as it opens she walked through closing behind her.

She walked towards a door passing a empty melancholic city so it seemed "Why are you so late suki! I told you to be back by twilight!" Shouted a huge figure towering in front of her. "Im sorry father"

She walked towards her shared bedroom with her brother only to find a pool of blood expecting to be greated by her brother. "Hey dad where is my brother?" A watery crunching sound was the only reply to her question.

She walked toward the door "father...father" no response she left her room as the door opened slowly revealing her fathers back.

"Father" her response was once again greated by crunch.

She watched as blood gushed from his mouth. He turned round towering over her like a giant wilping the blood from his mouth."yes suki" she walked to left only to see a corpse "mother it can't be" she stumbled taken abck from what she saw.

A head without a body as her neck slowly dripped the remaing blood onto the wooden floor staining it with blood.She walked back towards her door as piles of corpses covered her vision as he steped aside.

She turnt he back towards him and ran from him the door opened before her.The sound of air birefly was heard before the slam of cold steel door.She felt a warm sensation dripping from her back.As she went to move her hands to touch her back a sharp pain pierced her leaving emblem in form as cut.

Her vision faded as she heard stomps shaking the ground stoping before her life faded. "Am i dead,no I can't be" visions of her peacefull village life lingered around her mind. Regarded as a warriors daughter.

As her life flashed before her she acounted one particular memory of the view of village from the tree's highest branch high enough to see the oceans ,mountains, mountains's and castles making her peaceful village seem small in the grand scheme of things.

She woke up in bedroom "was it just a drea.." she rushed out her bedroom door to be met with a dreadful smell and a pile of corpses she walked towards who she believed who was her mother but not a single corpse would be recognizable with no face.

She knelt picking up who she thought was her mothers head.She turned it around to get a glimpse of the face only to see a decaying faceless head.
