Chapter 7 - Chapter 4: Awakening (1/2)

It was a dark place, which unlike the the cold dark space, was filled with warmth.

Millions of Dots of illuminating light covered the whole plane. From one end of sky to other only these small warm dots could be seen. On the ground too these lights were warming up the surface with their never ending brilliance.

With pin drop silence nothing special could be observed in this area, beside a human male, in all his natural glory for all witnesses. His body was lying on a patch of ground where no dots resided. Some dots formed a circle around him, giving him warmth equal to a mother's blossom.

The male in question is a possessor of a poorly maintained body. His body was thin, so thin that it was more akin to a skeleton than a human. He had desirable length but it was difficult to measure it because it was scrunched together like a caterpillar. His jet black hair, reaching far beyond his nape, almost to his shoulders covered his face altogether.

The man in question is Grant Walker whose consciousness went offline the moment a foreign entity took over his body.

His eyelids fluttered a bit before a unintentional voice came from his mouth "It is too hot here, it would have been better if it was a little colder."

His voice echoed across this miraculous place. And as if following his command, small dots started emitting cold air and controlled the environment for his sleep. He made a satisfying smile before humming a styne and went to sleep once again.

Poor Grant was tired not only physically but also mentally. Not everybody could say with confidence that their reality is stranger than fiction but he can. He, the one who is the possessor of The Cursed Physique of Death has seen his fair share of abnormalities.

As he was sleeping peacefully a penetrating cough fell on his ears, jerking him awake. He rubbed his eyes and tried to stand to only feel winds brushing through his family's jewels. Shocked and panicked his hand moved in for self preservation, helping him evade another moment of shame in his life.

But as if understanding his plight, the speaker told him " There is no need to hide that. And why hide it, we both are men anyway. Don't be shy as this is the only place where you can appear in full glory without shame."

Grant back shivered with a bad premonition "No!! More the reason to hide it, who knows with what scheme you came here. If you want to talk, we talk like this or no talk."

"Is that so? Then as you wish, there is no need for us to talk. I will be in standby, contact me as you like."

"Yeah, who would want to talk to a strange man who is hiding in darkness anyway.,"

"Hmm, hiding in darkness... it is not that I don't want to appear in front of you. But you have not called out for me during these 8 Days you were sleeping here, so I took the initiative to wake you up. I can only appear if you will me will me to come, if not, I can only communicate with you like this, that too if you allow so."

"You know that the most strange thing about you is this, you wake me up then become invisible. You sound so mysterious but confronted shift all the things on other. Sigh, whatever, since I am a good and wise Saint with a good EQ I will have a correspondence with you when time is ripe. Now don't create trouble for me."

Grant was somewhat conflicted and decided to first get a hang of the situation before taking a decision. He became afraid of uncertainties long time ago, this trait may be considered as a cowardly one by others but it was one of his unique feature, a feature which saved him from many life death junctions.

For the first time he looked at his surroundings with all his awakened senses.

He felt a calming air brushing on his skin, which was neither too hot nor too cold, a environment perfect for a outdoor nap.

His olfactory senses detected a strong smell of wet grass aroma, complementing the calming zephyr. Even if there was no grass at all around him.

Ignoring his intuitive thoughts, he looked around and afar to horizon.He saw himself covered in a blue aura, brightening up his surroundings. Then he found star like dots of light which were embedded in the sky and ground itself.

As he stepped forward they made a way for him. It was like a hi-tech LED Ramp which follows the user, always creating a straight way, whatever the intended direction.

He tried to understand the meaning of these lights, especially those that were not within his grasp, the sky as only 1/3 of them seemed to embedded in ground.

They were primarily of three colours, white, red, and golden. While most of them were white in colour, many of them were bigger than them along with coloured in red and golden, in equal ratio.

As he walked around in the dark illuminated plane, sound of his feet echoed in the place. As he walked, dots made way for him. But not all of them allowed him straight path as big red and golden balls were a big hurdle, reaching to 3 feet in height even after embedded in ground, almost half his own size which stood at 6 Foot 2 Inches.

Like this he encountered a golden stone. This time he decided to push his through he tried to push it aside, only to be kicked back.

Bewildered he tried to question his own inability and weak strength. As he frowned and fell in his grief he noticed a small white illuminating dot coming to his way. It was a special one as it had a little red spot on it.

He catched it and tried to understand it's meaning. He juggled it, tried to smash it on ground, even tried to eat it,but to no avail.

As he lost his interest he prepared to throw it far. The moment it left his hand it boomeranged and smashed to his head. Strangely he didn't felt any pain but only a warm sensation.

As he started to deducting it's purpose he felt a sharp pain in his mind and when he opened his eyes, he saw himself sitting on a crowded metro train with headphones over his head.

He could see people around him doing many things, but he can't hear him. Many of them even had half faces and some had blurry faces. Some even had animal or fruit faces. It was a bizzare but familiar scene for him.

Only thing, which could be registered in his hearing senses were ineligible but familiar tune of a Korean song which he remembered as the last one before accident took place.

Just as train vibrated and stopped with great force he returned to the dark plane. And as far as small light which was absorbed in his mind, it also came out and flew towards the a huge red stone and got assimilated with it.

After digesting and reflecting on this new occurance he started roaming in random direction while absorbing small white orbs embedded in ground.

During his journey he revisited his memories of near past. He saw himself sleeping during his morning post, sometimes he saw himself just walking in park and many more.

After walking for who knows how much time he stopped and said "I want to be dressed in my typical black clothes."

As he said that a black hoodie and training pants covered his naked body and after checking the fit he was satisfied.

"Oye!! strange man, come and let's have a proper talk now."

Instantly whole space trembled as all dots made space in front of him, not even the arrogant big ones resisted this time as whole area of around 300 Square metre was cleared in a flash.

White most covered the whole area as even snow flakes started falling down from the sky. Stunned and surprised Grant was not able to stop his gaping mouth from falling when he saw the silhouette, as it evoked many emotions in his mind. It kept on changing from shocked to excitement to joy to shame and then to melancholy, and then back to shocked and others until he heard a voice.

"We are finally able to meet each other 'My King'"
