As I stared idly at the night sky, it was dotted with many different sizes of stars.. A familiar presence sat next to me, as now we both were staring out of the window.
"So, are you sleeping anytime soon so we can get this night over with?..."Valerie asked with a soft sigh but a playful smile as he nudged me by her elbow, "Give me a moment.. I have a difficult time sleeping when it's not me fainting from exhaustion.."I replied as I tried my best to bore myself at the moment.
"You have insomnia don't you?.. Glad it's not that bad since you're getting SOME sleep.."Valerie said with a friendly demeanor, Valerie was always a friendly person outside of her battle scenes in the novel..
"You could say that... How's our shelter resources going?.."I then asked as I laid my back on the floor, quite bored out of my mind, but not to the point of sleeping.
"Good. the resources are both increasing and decreasing steadily from the increase of people we took in the shelter, your powers.. Are seriously amazing."Valerie remarked with an easy smile.
"You talking about when I killed those monsters?.."I inferred as my gaze moved on from the sky and to Valerie, her long brunette hair stuck to her loose shirt as it reached down to her waist when it was down, as her amber eyes glowed brightly in the dark.
No wonder she was the female lead, "I guess.."I looked down at my hand with a soft sigh,"But, I can't manifest other abilities like you guys.. Imagery wise my powers are pretty lame.. I can destroy monsters right away sure, but you guys could make it look cool.. Especially your healing powers Valerie.. there's always a certain allusive light it possess.."I said with a simple smile, as Valerie had this kind of flustered expression.
"I-.. right. Even then, you're like the main character in this monster infested world!.."Valerie spoke with a genuine tone.. Main character? As Valerie's hand was on my shoulder.
I gently pulled her hand away, "If that's what you think.. Sure, let's just say I'm the main character to this world.."I said as I picked up after my legs, a smile crept upon my face as I looked down at Valerie.
Then.. I felt a sudden urge.. Once close to an intense pain to my chest.. As i lost complete control in my legs, falling down. "Valerie- i'm gonna go to sleep now.. Tell me if I say anything weird okay?.."I said with a pained smile as I fell. Right before I fell, I could've sworn I saw a horrified expression on the female lead's face.
But, I'm just a mere side character right?

"Aero!.."
.
.
"Aero?.."
.
"Aero.."
My eyes slid open, to find a panicking group of characters.. Familiar characters, as I almost jumped out of the mattress I was on.
"Did I say anything odd?!.."I exclaimed catching my breath as well as their attention, Rin hurriedly ran up to me with a tight hug, come on… i wasn't out for THAT long right?
"Aero- you're alright!.."Valerie then exclaimed before she composed herself a little more and joined in the hug, what in the world is going on.
As my gaze was stuck onto the last person, Kaden.
His pupils were stuck on my gaze, but he didn't say anything, he didn't utter a word.
But my gaze then pulled towards his body language.. It was visibly shaking, he didn't utter a single word but his body said otherwise.
Fear.
Vulnerability.
Two feelings that someone like Kaden never really felt.. At least not said in the novel.
He just stood there.
"Are you guys going to finally tell me what's going on?…"I asked bluntly, having enough of the tight hugs and my unawareness in the whole scenario.
Valerie then reluctantly pulled away and a little flustered after realizing what she was doing, she let out a short fake cough, "Right.. You said something along the lines of..'Red blood moon, therefore the days come as fast as the seasons do proceed to change.. Like under the moonlit sun a great white wolf will be howling one last call.'.."Valerie said word by word.
Quite impressive, I'm guessing I chose the right person after all. Finally Kaden then stepped in, "The red moon could be inferred from the raining blood.. maybe we have the time span of changing seasons to be ready for the next full moon after that.. Then after the howl.. The next wave of disaster begins?.."Kaden predicted as his gaze seemed in depth to what he said.
I snapped my finger right when Kaden stopped.. This is exactly how Kaden predicted from the original novel, and that's how it went based on Kaden's 100% accuracy, finally something that the original novel went with.
"Your right."I confirmed right away, as Rin still clung onto me, "How.. could you confirm that?..."Valerie asked a bit dumbfounded but it was a good question.
"Trust. Kaden is a smart man after all.."I answered as it seemed to light up Kaden's eyes a little from my compliment. "Trust huh?... well.. You've been out.. For quite a bit.. A month to be exact.."Valerie replied as her tone went stern
A month?
What.
That means the spring season is over, 3 more seasons..
But to be out for a whole month over a blood prophet… at maximum it was a couple weeks in the novel, and it was over the main ending of the novel, for a blood prophet to be this important and severe in fatigue in what could be considered near the beginning of the novel..
The plot really did transcend from the original novel.
