"Wow..."
The only word that can express how bizzare the scene before his eyes right now. His eyes darted away from the sky and landed on an unfamiliar face in front of him. Not knowing what language the person blurting endlessly does make him feel very dizzy.
Dishelved dark brown hair and untrimmed facial hair on his face make him look very haggard. His beard is very thick and full of grease and food debris if scrutinised. There's no anything special on his face as his face is very forgettable.
Nevertheless, the person wasn't what occupied his mind right now because the moon on the night sky accentuated by resplendent stars is way more baffling to comprehend.
The celestial body is emitting distinct blue and purple light around its circumference different from white moonlight rays he always stares at during nighttime. "Beautiful, Moon of Azure and Violet?..." he blurted out the word unconsciously. He also outlined the fracture part of the moon that has been reformed into 4 to 5 "mini moon" orbits around the original one.
The adult male notices how the boy is still in a trance like state, which ignites his indignation. His impatience makes him look like a fool. His face becomes red full of fury.
Before his soul can return to his body, a hand comes flying directly toward his nose. He doesn't have good reflex or great endurance, making him unable to avoid or brandish the attack. Red liquid flowing from his nose slowly as blood started to accumulate on his face to stop the unbearable pain.
On the heel of that, he can only see black
-rich darkness that keeps out any source of light. He blacked out once again after just woke up from a slumber, in a cold hour of darkness.
...
Urghhh... My head hurt, and Im cold. Where am I..?
Lying on the cold stone floor with broken furniture and cutlery strewn everywhere, his eyes start to dart around to figure out what kind of place he is in now.
Worn out wooden door at the entrance still let some light trought the little opening at leg of the door even though the door is closed thightly. Make it possible for the boy to take in his surroundings.
The walls and ceiling are made out of the same material as the floor, which is dark greyish brick, and there's no window to circulate air in the room, which makes everything effused with darkness.
Am I in some kind of first episode of an anime where the main character soul transmigrate into another body of a boy. Pffft... What a lame joke. Am I 8th grade schooler? If im not wrong, the anime is Seirei Gensouki:Spirit Chronicle...
He crawls a little bit to a near shattered mirror piece to check the severe damage he just received before passing out. To his surprise, the light that seeps out from the door is adequate to reflect all his features into his eyes. The jetblack messy and long hair covered almost all his eyes, which prevented him from seeing clearly.
He combs his bangs upward with his fingers to make out his face.
Dark brown pupils that lack any trace of lustre. White face that has been covered with pinky redness due to cold and the damage from a punch. He can assure that his eyes are a little sharper and his face is slightly more attractive. This is due to his nose being more straight and his jawline being more accentuated than usual.
Wait... Who the f*ck is this?! This is not me... Im not that handsome, and Im a college student, not an 8th grade schooler!? D*mn it! Im Narin Cecile, the gloomiest guy in university!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Narin hear clearly hears the sound of footstep approaching the room he was in right now. It abrutly stops in front of the door as if someone is trying to muster up some courage and spirit before coming inside.
The unknown person reach their hand onto the door and twirl the round shape doorknob, which will enable the door to open inwardly. The old oak wooden door is pushed, and a woman stepped in. A woman full of bruise all over her body and face.
Just grom a glance anyone can tell that she has living a miserable life
Similar colour as him, which is long jetblack hair cascading down from top of her head reaching to her waist. She is wearing a ragged dress with a lot of patches all over it, mended using crude needlework and cheep fibres. Her skin is very smooth and delicate but tarnished with bruise and scar. For unknown reason, she has similar features as me, yet more charming.
Her face... Why do i feel warm when i looked into her face. Is she someone I know, though, because she is more or less similar to me, hurmm... I dont know.
"Tau nus mave wibi nai, yame nuwe tajed litu habgo."
"You are save with me, come we need to go."
Urrmmm, what does she say? I dont understand a single word at all! How do I interpret this. A lot of thought played in his mind.
Before Narin can respond, she grabs his hand and pulls him into standing. She then produces an affectionate smile on her face -A smile mother would show to her beloved children. Instantly, they both start running on a paved road full of snow.
As they continued, he was looking around frequently due to unfamiliar building he had never seen piqued his interest. Soon, they took a turn into a dark alley when they saw a large entrance made out of red brick. The entrance was built to separate middle class and lower class street supposedly to prevent thievery and beggars.
At the entrance, one can perceive that there are guards on both sides of the entrance holding steel lance and donned light grey military armour. Sleepiness is written on their faces as the moon is hanging on the dark sky.
They dont seem to realise 2 humanoid figure running passes houses and buildings with medieval like style. They dont slow down as the woman is showing an urgency gesture to run far away.
They went across slithering road and passed through cross road. They also running accross wide plain and slow down. Narin couldn't hold it any longer as his face started to become pale and more purplish due to lack of oxygen intake.
So fast ! So fast ! I can't keep up. Im just a f*cking small child right now. Please have mercy, my supposed mother.
In the end, they reach a dense forest, Arijuan Forest. To the town people, this forest is very beneficial as they provide a lot of material such as beast hides, mineral such as rock salt and timber. Usually, a guard needs to be hired to travel deep into the forest.
They arrive at the periphery of forest as there no actual entrance with a paved road to allow smooth travel.
Even though the forest is full of beast monsters hidden from bare eyes yet it doesn't scare her because she knows most of the beasts are not too dangerous. She does only need to avoid direct acounter with large and ferocious beasts.
