Slowly, the winds blew by and the leaves danced in unision as I stared at the 3rd moon of my home planet from a high cliff that towered above everything in the forest. The yellow sky radiated a royal aura.
"The moon of hope.", a female voice spoke from behind.
"!@#$/", I called her name but couldn't hear a single thing for some reason.
"Hehe, you found the rarest moon out of the six moons.", she giggled and walked beside me, staring at the blue moon.
"Hope, mɔkpɔkpɔ.", the sight of the moon bathed my eyes in shining beauty.
The girl turned to me, her white hair flowing smoothly with her movements. "You're still learning that extinct language?"
"Mhm.", I nodded, leaving slight silence.
She looked back at the moon, "Happy 10th birthday, Seksulfur.", then looked back at me, locking eyes with my blue predator iris.
I was confused, "Birthday?"
"Yup! and this is your present.", she moved closer and pressed her soft lips against my cheek.
"Uh-"
"That's my present, don't say anything.", she interrupted.
"Present.", I smiled and touched her cheeks, "I like it. Hehe.", giggling followed as a bright light concluded the memory shard and slowly gave me my conscience back.
--- --- --- --- ---
My eyes opened slowly, flinching the moment light found its way in. "Why am I remembering these memories now?", I spoke in my mind.
It was a bit blurry since I had just woken up and gradually, I began to take control of my body.
"Hmm?", I felt my hand touching something really soft for some reason. I wasn't fully awake at that time, part of me was still in dreamland and the other part in Great mass, "I knew you wouldn't forget me.", my dream part kept rubbing that soft spot.
"U-Umm."
"Huh?", most of myself had come back when I heard a different voice. Instantly, my vision sharpened as my eyes flung wide open. There, just inches close to me was Fraisia's completely red face. "Fraisia?", it took me a while to notice where that soft feeling came from, her cheeks.
"S-Seksulfur, I can't move.", she hid her embarassed face with her palm as she spoke in a tiny voice.
"Doesn't matter, I- wait."
*BAM!*
Realization slapped at me full throttle.
"Woah woah woah woah woah!!", with full speed, I jolted away from Fraisia and slammed my head on the wall behind me, "Ouch!!"
"O-Oh no! Are you okay?", she slowly sat up.
"Ow Ow.", I rubbed my head and then looked at her embarrased face, "Wait, what happened... while we slept?", saliva slowly began to move down my throat.
"Huh?", she flinched and then looked down, her face heating up. "N-N-Nothing! Just-"
"Nothing Nothing Nothing!!", I scanned for sacred stains with the eyes of an Argrain.
"W-Why are you looking down there!?", she screamed but her voice was so soft that it sounded calm instead, "Nothing happened between-", she suddenly fell into my arms.
"Fraisia?", I froze.
Her breathing got heavier, "I sleep 3 times a year. My body packs lots of energy so sleeping isn't necessary but then, when that energy leaves-", she paused to catch a breath, "I get terribly weak until it replenishes."
"Oh, but that doesn't explain why you were in the bed with me.", I was still frozen in place.
"I was sent by the lord of this town. He wanted to meet you.", she answered.
"Probably wants me gone early.", I thought to myself and asked, "When did you come in?"
"6 hours ago."
"What time is it?"
"9:02 am."
"3:00am huh.", I said to myself.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble.", Fraisia's hair hid her eyes.
"No need to apologize.", there was silence thereafter and it was beginning to get odd.
...
"Can you get up?"
"No, I can't."
"I see."
It took one whole hour for Fraisia's energy to return before she led me to the door of the lord's chamber. "I don't even plan to stay here for long. I'm getting Shyza, Dzinu and Dzilaiza once this is over.", I entered.
The chamber was quite spacious, a huge window displayed the view of the advanced towering buildings in the town. Indeed, it looked extremely different than what I had seen when I first arrived. Behind it stood a tall and muscular man, he seemed very familar but the reflections from outside left him in the shadows.
"You took your time, foreigner.", he turned his head back slightly and his voice showed a picture in my head.
"This voice. It's white skinned man I met at the entrance.", I thought to myself before replying, "I was preparing to leave. I assume you called me here for the same thing."
There was brief silence, "No. I called you here because of this.", he snapped his fingers and immediately, a transparent screen appeared in the air.
I withstood the urge to chuckle as the picture of a hot woman in a shiny green bikini popped up. "Heh, fricking man of culture.", I smugged.
"That is the reason why I called. You must be shocked.", he still faced away from me.
"Mhm, extremely shocked. She should have put on some more 'exaggerated' clothes.", my hands were on my chin as I analyzed.
"What?", the town lord turned around. "Oh no-", he snapped again and switched images to last night's fight. He cleared his throat, "Pardon me, that was research work."
"Okay now that lie, was fucking bland.", my inner self face-palmed while I smiled at him, "No worries, proceed."
He closed his eyes and nodded, "What you did last night broke this town's rules."
I folded my arms, "It did?"
"You are not to meddle in our affairs. You would have been used as a test subject but I'm interested in your fighting skill.", a desk and chair rose up from the floor as he walked towards it.
"What're trying to bring up?", I inquired.
The town lord sat down, "We are in debt and we fear that our clients may send assassins after us. So-"
"You want me to fend them off?", I interrupted.
"Exactly-"
"Not interested. I have somewhere to go to.", I interrupted again.
"Do you think we'd easily give you possession of your gadgets?", his eyes narrowed, "We may have a way to cure your little friend from her weird shock."
"Shyza?", the sight of her appeared in my mind.
"Not only that, I know you're from the planet Celldonia and an ultra rare blue wolf to top it off.", a wicked grin drew up on his face, "Are you willing to help now?"
"Tch.", I turned back, "I'll think about it."
"I give you an hour.", he said before I left the chamber.
"He says there's a possibility to save Shyza.", I looked up, "Heh, should I trust him?"
"U-Umm, Seksulfur.", a soft voice called.
I looked down, locking eyes with Fraisia who also looked up at mine and then turns away when she realizes.
"Fraisia?"
"I, want to show you something.", she held my hand and pulled me into a hallway that shone with the lights that came from outside through the glass.
"W-What is it you wanted to show me?", I blinked.
She tapped on the air, "This."
A screen appeared showing an extremely rare and bizzare object.
My eyes widened in disbelief, "What's this?!"
