The shimmering petals of roses became meek and shy with every step as he walked behind the officer silently, fidgeting constantly with his fingers as he looked around, still fascinated by the things of this fantastical realm.
"Walk faster, we are going to reach the police station tomorrow at this rate", the officer scolded, making him break out of his fantasy and fasten up his pace.
After walking for a long time, the two finally reached the station and the officer took him to his superior.
"Sir, this human soul does not have an identity card and he was wandering around in the city, so I arrested him", the half cockroach half Sparrow creature informed, showing the faint yellow thread in his hand whose one end was wrapped meekly around Fannah's wrist.
After hearing the words, the superior officer peeked up from his files to take a look at the said criminal.
"A human soul, you say", the superior officer who had the head of a horned owl and the body of a panther said, as he looked at Fannah up and down. "Fantastic".
"He seems harmless, but I just could not leave him wandering around the city without verification so I took him here first", the cockroach-sparrow explained while glancing at Fannah.
"So, human what do you have to say about this,why were you roaming around without an identity card?", the superior officer asked.
"I...I don't know what happened, I just got into an accident and then I opened my eyes and I was in this place, I don't know how I came here, but I promise I do have my PAN card and Liscene at home". Fannah explained, his voice was rushed as he was panicked because of the sudden turn of events.
"We don't need those here, I am asking about your soul identity card, the one made here in Al-samash, where is it?", The officer asked again,patiently.
"I don't have one, I just died and came here", Fannah lied just as he was instructed by the divine voice in his mind.
"Hmm, we don't know anything about you, okay, we need to put you in the prison, we can't have an unverified soul going around the city", the superior officer said and the cockroach-sparrow officer was about to drag him by the yellow thread, when another voice came from inside the private cabin.
"The voice of this human is sweet, don't imprison him and make him a new identity card first and let him go", the voice said and the superior officer bowed, before getting up from his seat and taking the thread from the junior officer.
"Our superintendent likes the humans with a sweet voice, you are lucky", the half owl-panther said and led Fannah to a different room.
"Make him and identity card", the superior officer said, looking at the creature, sitting in the dark corner of the room.
"Another one, why?", the creature asked as it slowly dragged itself out of the corner, while talking to someone.
"The superintendent asked this time, hurry up", the officer explained and at this time, the creature finally came out of the shadow with a soul of a beautiful girl, holding its hand.
The girl looked at the two uninvited creatures and bowed her head before leaving with a smile on her face, constantly eyeing Fannah up and down.
"What a beautiful one", the another creature who just looked like the cockroach-sparrow officer commented, touching Fannah's hand.
"Come here and put your prints on this", the id maker said, ushering Fannah towards something akin to a machine, but it was made of cotton, Fannah did not move from his place, looking at the thing with his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
"Come on, I have the whole day but I don't want to stand here more then 10 silens". The officer commented.
"What?", Fannah asked, directing his attention to the officer.
"What, what, I am free and I don't want to work, come here quickly", the officer said and yanked Fannah out of his place, making him stand in front of the machine.
Fannah looked at the weird machine again and put his hand on what seemed to be a screen made of colours.
"What are you doing foolish human, you have to give the prints with your foot, the scanner is on the floor", the id maker remarked, snorting arrogantly as Fannah looked down at his feet.
"what the hell is this" Fannah thought in his mind, as he stared at his barefeet.
"the world of al-Samash, where everything is upside down" the devine being commented thoughtfully.
After hearing the words of the devine being, Fannah rolled his eyes put his foot on the screen on the floor, and immediately a number and something written in an alien language emerged on the screen where Fannah had put his fingers earlier.
"Okay, it's done, get off the machine, you can go now", the id maker commented.
"But where is my identification card?", Fannah asked, looking at the machine and hile blinking rapidly.
"It's floating on top of your head", the id maker creature said and made a face, "this human soul is too stupid, no wonder it died young, foolish man", the creature commented before disappearing into the darkness again.
"You can go out now and yes, don't get your card stolen", the owl-panther officer said and led Fannah out of the station and Untied the thread around his wrist.
"What happens if my id card is stolen?", Fannah asked casually, thinking he might need to come here again to make the copy of the id card.
"Your soul energy will be fed to the city's operation system". The officer said and went in the police station again before Fannah could ask anything more, leaving him alone.
"scary" the divine being commented.
"what do I do now, where is Sufiyan, I want to go home as soon as possible, Fannah asked the devine being, which he felt like shrugged hard in his mind as soon as he asked the questions.
"i don't know where Sufiyan is, you have to find him yourself, and also let me warn you, you only have until tomorrow night, if you don't bring him back by then, you will be locked in here forever, remember you are not dead yet" the Devine being explained, making Fannah widen his eyes in shock.
"how am I going to find him in just a day and a half, are you crazy?", Fannah yelled in his mind.
"Did you forget who I am, how can you talk to me like that, I am the most devine being who is all powerful and mighty", the Devine being scolded, making Fannah roll his eyes once again.
"you just have a big mouth and nothing else" Fannah relied dryly.
"I am going to burn your soul right now, just you wait" the Devine being threatened.
"Go ahead" Fannah Said and started walking away from the police station and back to the city.
"Go to the big restaurant we walked by earlier, a lot of Souls and creatures were going in there, we might find Sufiyan there" the Devine being commented.
Fannah shook his head wordlessly and did as the Devine being instructed even though they were fighting.
