Chapter 23 - "It's Dreadful!"

Then, she found herself in a cloudy place where everything was more or less covered with cloud and frost. She walked towards the cloud and the cloud ate her up from behind. Nobody was seen from behind, she was taken aback!

*Chirp, tweet, chirp, chirp...*

She woke up in shock and realized that its already dawn. She rubbed her hands against each other, waking herself up. She soon jumped on her horse and destined herself to Aliria. She determined herself to reach Aliria on the mid-noon.

The horse galloped and entered inside the outskirts of Aliria, soon Chloe could see stray dogs roaming here and there. She was clueless of it. For what was the land of Aliria invaded by stray dogs? She got a shocking answer as she went towards the city square of Aliria: Those dogs were feeding on corpses of burnt humans! Everything was pale and dry and ragged. "How can I clutter this up?" she asked herself as she went further on the other side of the city.

"Huh! finally, god!" Chloe sat on her knees as she thanked god. She had broken into tears after seeing some citizens of Aliria. They were a group of at least forty five people. Chloe ran towards them and hugged the oldest of them. He was the long lost uncle of Chloe: Uncle major; that's what she used to call him as a kid.

"How can you even be alive? How did you fill up tummy? It's so exhilarating to see you alive! " said Chloe in excitement.

"You left little child, but Aliria is motherlike to us, how can we not come back over here? I managed to fill our stomach by hunting. Sometimes we also had to feed on carcasses. What can fill our heart more than living in our own motherland? We have the guts to return from heaven;leaving behind all heavenly pleasures, only if Aliria calls our name! ", explained Uncle Major.

Chloe was extremely trembled by heart after listening to these patriotic words from an elderly's mouth.
