Chapter 4 - 04. How the Mighty have fallen.

In a snow forest, there live many tree. Among them is tree M, the tree size are extraordinary compare to other tree, it bigger , taller and mightier. Its grow aloft and many tree hate tree M as the sunlight and nutrient was taken by his leaves and roots. Tree M feel like a king of the forest. And today have no exception, it use it roots to absorb nutrient from the ground and left nothing for the other tree. It feel so satisfy to be able to tower over the rest of the tree. 'If tree have face, it will show a smug face'.

But all that about to change from now, a shooting star is descending from the sky and fly toward the tree at high speed. Look carefully, it not a shooting star, it a train with something huge chunk of metal in front covering and shielding it from burning through the air friction when entering the atmosphere. The metal are turning black but still able to withstand the intense heat. Slowly, the train is visible as it fly through the sky. Even though the air friction slow down the train, it still moving at high speed toward the tree M.

'Crash' 'Pom' 'Critical hit'

It hit tree M right at the middle, stopping the train and the metal chunk. The tree bend over but still not fall.

The bigger there are, the harder they fall seem true as the tree M only bend over. However, the fire start to burn the tree. The train fall down and landed on the snow leaving the metal stuck at the tree burning together.

"Urgh, Arrrrr, this mortal and its toy dare to put me in this condition. I shall crush and tear you to pieces." The metal suddenly move as he scream.

The giant knight sustain heavy damage but it doesn't hinder it from taking it revenge on the train. It move slowly toward the train until it reach the front of the train. "DIEEEE" It raise it fist and punch toward the defenseless train.

At this moment, something descent from the sky and heading toward the giant knight at high speed. It pointing straight like it going to pierce through if hit. The giant knight unaware or too blinded by revenge or too heavily injured does not see his own sword is going to kill him.

*Stab*

"Urgg, .... this .... my .... sword .... how .... pathetic .... am .... I .... to .... be .... kill .... by .... my .... own .... swo"

It draw it last breath as it die and fall down.

Inside the train, a man is unconscious any lying on the floor. An animal to this forest slowly approaching his silently.

"Is this heaven? It feel warm and cold. Though it logic as it located above the cloud but this is too cold" Suddenly, something is warming him up. But it is at the face only and he is suffocating.

He wake up immediately and open his eye but his vision is dark and black. He cannot breath so he quickly pick up the furry thing that cover his face.

'Gapsing for air' "Hup, Hu, Hup, Hu"

"What this thing?" He sit up and look at the white furry thing. He see white fur and 4 black fur tiny leg at the side. It turn out, he looking at it backside. Zi Zen turn it around, a curious face is looking at him. Both if their eye meet and they stare at each other for a moment. Time seem to stop for a while.

Suddenly, the furry thing launch attack. It use it tongue and lick Zi Zen face.

'Critical hit'

Zi Zen got goosebumps and he let it go. It directly climb on top of Zi Zen and cover his face with its body. In attempt to remove its from it face, it now go into his shirt and move around. Zi Zen feel so weird and funny as its soft fur brush against his skin. "Hahahahaha, stop it, hahahahaha" The furry thing finally climb out.

"Hahaha, huhuhu, hah"

"Huh, what?! that my phone, give it back!" As Zi Zen watch in horror as his phone is being taken away by the furry mouth.

"Ok, boy. Hold still. Don't move. I..."

"Chomp"

"....."

"Burp"

"My phone!!!!"

Zi Zen grab the furry by the leg and flip it upside down. "Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out" As he shake the furry up and down in attempt to make it spit it out.

Suddenly, strong light shine from the furry thing like it undergo evolution.

"Arggg, my eye" He let it go and close his eye to shield from the blinding light.

A few moment later, the light die down and he look at the furry. Nothing have change. It look the same as before. It walk toward me and stop.

'Spit'

The phone which now cover with saliva is spit out by the furry, however the accessory is gone. Zi Zen stare at the furry angrily "Where my crystal, it was given by my childhood friend."

"Tutu" It show a happy then frighten face. Maybe scare of Zi Zen face, it turn and run out of the train. Zi Zen try to chase after for few step before running back to the train at highest speed he ever achieve in his life. The outside is cold and snow everywhere.

"Hah chiu" As Zi Zen grow in Malaysia where the climate is hot and humid all year long. He never experience snow or even feel cold except in aircond room.

"My health is most important, if I fall sick, who gonna cure me? There no clinic here and I doubt a doctor will just walk by to cure me. So just sit inside this train for now. At least the furnace can warm me up" Zi Zen try to calm himself when he in the train and close the door.

"Now I will search around the train to see what I can use."

However his stomach does not agree *Gruu*

Be patient for now, later I will turn the into my dinner.

By the way, the tree M is still burning bright at the end of the day. Temporary function as giant campfire. Illuminating the dark area.
