With getting kicked out of that dimension that Zeichi was in, I suddenly felt as if weight was added to my chest and legs, it was the armor. The armor was heavier than I thought and it kind of felt tight to move around in.
"Feeling tight? Don't worry once you get used to it, it will be light as a feather." Zeksis explained
"I see, thanks for the explanation."
"Well then, since your prepared, shall we go and meet your teammates?"
"I'm anxious and thrilled at the same time."
"Everyone's like that on their first time meeting other people, don't worry, they're a unique bunch."
I was thinking about who my new teammates and what's they're personalities like. We walked for several minutes and corridors until we arrived in a room that looked like it received a beating, the door itself has countless scratches and was looking worn down. I then heard the loud sound of several loud strikes and dents were forming in the thick metal door and there was a few seconds of silence the door then busted open with 2 people clad in black one was lying on the now fallen door, that person had some wavy blond colored hair and it was kind of long, the other one on top of that person had some spiky red hair and gave me the feeling of an annoying rascal. We held eye contact for the next few seconds and the red-haired kid hissed and there appeared a dagger tinted with some red around the blade and it had some flame-like design around the hilt area. Before I noticed it there was a dagger close by to my neck.
"Oy Zeksis! Who's this new kid? A prey? Don't mind if I do!"
"Hey! St-'
"Corrosion!" I shouted
The hilt area around the dagger started to degrade and crumble to pieces and the red-haired kid leaped backward. He tightened his grip on his dagger and his blood was boiling out of anger. With a pissed face, he hissed one more time and sneered at me.
"Curse you! How dare you damage my precious dagger!"
"You were the one who started it! Why would you even do that to a person you've just met? Are you crazy or something?"
"First of all, I'm not crazy! I sensed someone with a large amount of cursed Thyl in your aura....don't tell me your gifted by one of the 8 deadly sins!"
The look on his face is hilarious! He was so scared that he took several steps back into the room. I then heard several voices coming out of the room.
"Heph are you fine?" said a young boy who looked similar to Zeksis
"Hey hey what's going on?" shouted a female voice
"A new member?" squeaked in a cheerful matter by another female voice
"Can you guys calm down?! We need to be organized here not loose! As your commander go back to your posts!"
The one who commanded the other kids to go back was a gir- woman should be more appropriate, anyways she was almost as tall as me just a few inches smaller. I couldn't help but head pat her frilly messed up violet hair, with a serious look on her face she stared at my satisfied face and proceeded to punch me...
"JUST BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT SHORTER THAN YOU DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HEAD PAT ME!" she shouted
"B-but you looked like you wanted a head pat! Don't hide it from me!" I retaliated
"I didn't need anything like that or anything! Hmph!" She sheepishly looked away in embarrassment
"What a tsundere...." my thought slipped out of my mouth
"W-H-A-T DID YOU SAY??" Her twin tails became drill-like and started spinning upright
They were sharp looking and I started to run as fast as possible. I ran through several hallways and I reached a dead end. There was a door to the side and thankfully it was unlocked. I sneak fully entered it and before I could find a hiding spot I heard the footsteps of a gorilla stomping on the ground. The door then flew open and to no surprise it was her.
"Is there a gorilla?!" I shouted out of fear
"W-H-O DID YOU CALL A GORRILA? WHO?"
"MYSELF!"
"YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE TRUTH! I HEARD IT CLEAR AS DAY!"
Before she could come close to me, the impact of her steps plus the broken door there were metal containers in a rack just above the entrance to the room and it couldn't contain the stress of the damage and impact and I started hearing the sounds of screeching. Without a doubt, in mind, my body haste fully jumped in and pulled her out preventing her to get crushed by the debris. My mind couldn't comprehend what just happened, there was this lightweight in my lap and my arms were hugging a thin body frame. I couldn't see anything because the debris blocked the lights.....I then suddenly felt warm and saw something glowing red in front of me...then I faintly heard the softest whisper I could ever possibly hear.
"Please....let go of me...." A familiar shouting voice whispered
After realizing who I was hugging I let go of her as she asked, sweat was trickling down my back as I'm very nervous....after letting her go I suddenly felt being hugged back...
"Please...don't....leave...me ever again..." she started sobbing
With me being new to this kind of situation all I can do for her right now was to comfort her and stroke her head lightly. Half an hour passed she was sleeping like a baby, there were sudden movements from the debris and it was being cleared by someone...the clearing stopped and I could finally see some light! It was Zeksis, he cleared the rubble.
"Tarus! Are you okay?!" he shouted
"Shhhh, someone's sleeping here." I whispered back
"O-okay...I'll get you out of there in a second."
"Thanks."
Zeksis then got the debris removed and there was a space cleared out and we successfully got out of the room. Zeksis then looked awkwardly at me and with the sudden realization of who was clinging tightly to me I tried to gently remove her arms from me to no avail, she just kept on clinging tightly to me.
"I think you should stop, she's had a tough life...sooo let her stay with you at least until she wakes up."
"Oh I see"
"I'll lead you to a spare room that nobody uses. It has a bed."
I then had to awkwardly carry her to the room and it took forever to get there. I sighed out of relief. Zeksis immediately closed the door and locked it.
"Zeksis! Open the door!"
"Shhhh, don't shout, you don't want her to wake up. I'll leave you two lovebirds to it."
"HEY!"
As Zeksis footsteps grew fainter I had no choice but to be stuck here with the sleeping gorilla with a set of drills for hair. As the time passed by, instead of wasting it I just thought of the things that were happening like the crown users, crown fragments, 8 deadly sins, the Grandmaster's curse, relics of the 8 deadly sins, how is Cherri?, and how I got into this situation which may cause misunderstandings. I dozed off into one of the most comfortable sleep I've had in a while. In my dream I remembered the old days of living peacefully in the village and playing with the other kids and such, I really miss my family and I didn't know how to get on through this life.....
I awoke to the movement of a certain someone struggling from getting off me. I peaked with my half-closed eyes and it was the gorilla. Her sleepy expression was kind of cute and I made a mental note not to get into her bad side. She sat atop me in a sitting position and yawned, after rubbing her eyes she looked at her surroundings and saw me...with her tomato-red face she started to freak out but she stopped. From an embarrassing face to a worrying face she stared at me out of pity, tears suddenly flowed out of my eyes because of the dream I had.....
"Hey...uhm are you alright?"
