Chapter 7 - First journey in the new world (5)

Shiro was floating in the void. Then he turned around to look at his surroundings and saw only the darkness. Nothing apart from darkness could be seen in the void. He even thought that he was hallucinating.

Suddenly, there was a white light coming from deepest part of the darkness. The white light became bigger and brighter more than anything he had seen. At this moment, as if that white light noticed him, it moved to his direction all of a sudden. He was a little frightened by its movement but there was nothing he can do right now. He can only stare at the white light and wait for it to reach him.

When the light arrived in front of him, he saw clearly that there was a small brown-colored light ball in the middle of white light. The light was extremely bright but strangely he didn't feel any disturbance from its brightness. However he was completely unaware of that fact. The small light ball in the huge cluster of white light was really attractive and seems very ordinary and also very similar to a ordinary seed.

he couldn't touch this seed-like thing and could only see it was surrounded by brown light. However he knew that it was neither light nor seed, but new matter he didn't know at all. Don't ask him how he could feel it. He didn't know the answer too.

At this moment, the white light vanished into void abruptly. So the only beings remained in the quiet, lonely and silent void, were Shiro and the small light ball or seed. He had a feeling that the small light had consciousness. That's why he considered him as a being. He didn't know where this feeling came from or if it was a illusion but, he could definitely feel that the small light ball had a consciousness.

Afterwards, he once again tried to touch the small light seed. This time, unlike the last touch, he could actually touch it with bare hands. Its texture was very soft but not jelly-like and very pleasing to touch. He felt as if he remembered the time he was in his mother's womb. He felt very warm.

" What is it ? Its appearance was not any different from any other coffee beans from a random market but it's really warm. It was strange and mysterious and once again very ordinary. If it didn't appear in this void, I think I will definitely put this seed into coffee machine to brew a coffe. Hmm, I forgot I don't have any coffee machine now. How unlucky I am ! Oh, Coffee machine is not important at all in this moment. What am I thinking ? But I feel very very calm. It's so strange.

Moreover I can swear that I had a feeling this little thing has a consciousness and want to convey me some messages. What did he want to say ? " he thought and look at the small seed again.

The small seed was as still as a stone statue and he couldn't also move at all. The current scene was like a boy was holding a girl's hands and looking at her with a curious expression while waiting for her to speak but the girl was looking away from his gaze with extreme shyness. Though it's still unknown if the seed had sense of sight. Then he suddenly realized that his thoughts went overboard and went off the topic again.

While he was trying to organize his thoughts, the seed dissolved into the void. Then the void also shattered like broken mirror and he slowly lost his consciousness in daze.

Afther he opened his eyes, he was in thoughtful state for a long time. His dream this time was non-sense. He didn't know anything and get any answer from it too. He had many questions to ask currently. What is that little seed ? What is that void ? Did his soul go to that void or Was that void situated in his head ? If so, when and why there was a void in his head ? What is the reason ? In any case, he didn't get even one answer. His thoughts were in the mess.

However, he must stop his messy thoughts here. If not, even if the sun went to sleep in the mountains, he wouldn't understand anything and it would be absolute waste of time. That's why he calmed down his mind by breathing in and out slowly.

" Okay ! Today's my big day and is the start of my journey too. It's also a test if I will be able to do it or not. Let's not think about unsolvable questions and let's focus only on the present time ! " He said to himself.

He then decided to prepare a bag you would take in his journey. First, he took some t-shirt-like clothes that were very comfortable and easy for him to wear but they were not real modern earth's t-shirts.

Secondly, he must take some foods to eat too. He would ask his mother for some foods later.

At last, he would have to ask his father for some money too. Money was still relatively important for him. He didn't need money before or didn't also like it. The most important things is that he didn't have money. But if he wanted to buy something later, he would have to use money. They were all the things he could think of to bring along with him in the journey but, his bag is quite big and a lot of things could still pack in the bag. He then decided to ask his mother for some advice.

After that, he looked around the room with nostalgic eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt very familiar with this room as if he had lived in it since his birth. He could even feel some almost non-existent feelings that belonged to this room. Although they're almost non-existent, they were still in his heart. However, he looked at his room only for 5 seconds while sighing slowly, and turned around to leave the room.

The reason why he hesitated only for 5 seconds and turned around to leave without any extra thoughts, is because he swore to come back home whenever he was free. He didn't want to forget his sense of belonging to somewhere and someone. That's why he didn't even think or try to check his room if there is something he forget to pack in. He would definitely go back home again to take the things he forgot if he remembered later.

Then, he opened the door and left the room with very firm decisiveness and also without any longing thoughts. He didn't look back even once. He would always walk forward and only take back the things he forgot !
