Keran ran swiftly through the woods, his clothes were torn all over and blood could be seen seeping out as he was wounded. He held in his hands a sword stained with thick green substance.
On his tail was a creature with the head of a frog and its remaining part that of a man. The creature opened its mouth bringing out it's long tongue towards Keran as he ran.
Keran dodged the tongue as he ran faster, soon he began to pant and his running became slower.
The Frog like creature brought out it's tongue this time wrapping it around Keran's leg.
Making him fall heavily on the ground, his face had hit the ground n blood gushed out from his nose.
The frog like creature wrapped it's tongue tightly around his leg, Keran looked frightened realizing what might happen to him sonn if he doesn't act fast.
His leg still being tightly wrapped, he swung his blade at the frog like creature's tongue making it cut into two and releasing his legs.
Green substances rushed out from the tongue as the creature stepped back, putting in the remaining of his tongue inside his mouth.
Keran charged forward knowing where it's weak point was,he ran towards it and then thrust his sword into his chest directly at the the heart region.
The creature fell down lifelessly on the floor.
Keran stood looking at the dead creature lying afront him when he blinked, immediately he had blinked his environment had changed.
Unlike the woods, he had recognized this environment as this was where he had spent most of his life living in pains.
He swallowed hard at the sight around him.
The field which had once been filled with servants working and guards supervising them was now destroyed, the blooming flowers now withered.
Decaying Dead bodies laid on the floor polluting the air, the sight was terrible as some had their limbs detached from their body.
As he walked through the field he could see some basket with decayed crops.
' What happened here?' he asked inwardly not expecting an answer
" Let me be"
He heard someone scream and had recognized the voice immediately. He walked faster towards where the screams were coming from and got to the main building.
As he got there, he walked stealthily not wanting to be caught.
Carefully, he climbed up the stairs and was about to turn to the corridor when he stopped.
Sitting on the floor with torn clothes and hands tied to the back was Gina, towering above her stood a taller man holding in his hands, a duct tape.
.
" Since you won't stop screaming, I guess I should shut you up" he said unrolling the duct tape unaware of the 3rd party behind him
" Let her go" a voice called out.
The man turned to see who it was and standing right afront him was Keran.
" Ooh I see you've come to save the princess in distress" the man said teasingly.
" if I were you i will lay low" he continued, walking towards Keran.
" But there is no need for that since you will be dead soon" he continued
" uh...sorry but it's you who is going to die now" Keran said and ran towards him swinging his sword.
The sword went through his neck like how hot knife cuts through butter.
Gina gasped at the sight of the rolling head.
" Gina!!" Keran called as he walked closer to her.
" Are you okay?" he asked as he untied her hands.
She nodded.
" Okay we need to get going, I don't think it's safe any..."
" aargh" Keran groaned in pain as he had a slight headache.
Gina who was still terrified noticed the change in him.
" What's Wrong?" She asked
" I'm Fine, let's go before....."
Keran felt weak and he could no longer feel his legs as if began to wobble.
He tried taking a step but all to no avail as he fell on the floor,his face began to turn pale and he began to sweat furiously.
He could now feel his throat become dry.
" Keran" he heard Gina call out
" Keran!"
" Keran!!"
He began to feel dizzy as his eyes began to close slowly, Gina's voice began to fade slowly.
" Keran"
He could still hear Gina's fading voice but tried opening his eyes all to no avail.
" Keran"
He tried prying his eyes open as he drifted in and out of unconsciousness, finally his eyes began to open slowly.
As he opened his eyes he squinted as the ray from the sun had entered his eyes, later on his eyes had adjusted and he could finally open his eyes.
" Keran" He could hear Gina's voice this time clearly.
" He's awake...."
" Let the mage know that he's awake"
He heard someone footsteps leaving where he was.
He looked around and noticed that he was in a different environment.
" You should rest, you're still in pains" Gina said.
He looked at Gina and saw how concerned she was.
" What pain?" he asked curiously
That was when he began to feel pains all over his body and then it clicked in his head.
He had been dreaming for a while now. The dream had been so surreal that he had thought he was actually living in the dream.
" I am so glad you're awake Keran" Gina continued.
" Since the incident at the field you had been unconscious and the mage who had been treating you before stopped as he had began to doubt your survival but luckily we found a new mage who is so much better than the latter" She continued.
" I have been here for awhile now to ensure You're properly treated"
That was when Keran noticed the eye bag under her eyes.
" Milady, thank you so much... I owe you so much"
Gina smiled.
" You owe me nothing Keran besides it was my fault you were almost beaten to death"
" Besides we have caught the person who had accused you, he's serving a worst punishment than yours" She said smiling.
" Thank you Milady " Keran said.
Gina smiled.
They kept talking as Keran kept asking questions some of which were related to his dream, Gina kept answering and soon he realized that nothing like his dream had happened so far.
' Is this dream an Omen or what'
' Is something coming for us?' he thought as Gina kept explaining some things for him.
Soon the door flung open and an average man walked in confidently, he bowed as he got close to Gina.
" Liam you shouldn't be bowing you know that" Gina said smiling.
Liam smiled .
" Keran"
" Meet Liam, he had bee the one treating you after the first mage had left"
Keran smiled and faced Liam.
" Thank you sir Liam" Keran said
" I should be the one you ought to thank"
" Thank her instead" He continued
Gina smiled.
" Now let's get to work" Liam said and turned to face Gina
" Do you think it's okay if you stay here Milady?" he asked
" Sure it's fine" she said.
Liam wore his gloves then began to treat Keran, but before that he had done a thorough check up on Keran using his powers.
