Chapter 1 - Awakening

"Get up." is what I heard from his raspy ghostly voice as he rubbed his hands on my head. I didn't get much sleep after I've met him, after the Incident. For I am fortunate enough to have crossed paths with my savior. It is dead in the night in this very scary forest. I miss home.

"Nooo... I want to sleep more." is what I muttered half asleep.

"Hurry up." said the knight with an intense gaze as he was looking at me.

"Alrighty! I am up!" I start to stretch quickly before asking the following "What is the matter this time?"

"Come." as he stretched out his arm for me to hold. "I am not a child anymore! I can walk myself!" I said to him and he didn't move and just stood there waiting for me to take his hands. "Fine as you wish. Next time I will go alone!" I said that while looking at him intensely.

"Behave." I grasp his hands and he holds onto them firmly as we begin to move elsewhere. "Where to this time mister knight?"

"Forward." he said while chanting a beautiful sparkling looking spell. "WOAH! It is so shiny mister!" I said that enthusiastically while we were continuing to move forward.

30 minutes later...

"Let's rest here." said the man in the armor and pointed to the grass on the ground. I sat down and made my self comfortable while he was looking around the forest.

"Mister, mister you have to teach me how to make this cute flying thing that is giving us light!" I said with excitement and added "And I want to be as cool as you are!" while giggling for a moment.

"Rest now, we move in the morning." he said in this ghostly rasped voice.

"Portos."

said the man and a tiny dark hole opened and he put his hand inside of it. "Mister what is that ugly thing?" as I said that he takes out cloth from it. "Woah how?" I muttered as he approached me and handed me a giant piece of blanket.

"A storage portal." he said while waving his hand in a certain way making the "portal" thing go away.

"Sleep now child." uttered the man while taking a breather. "Are you alright mister?" I say without caring for my sleep. "I am fine, sleep." he ordered me to sleep while still being worried about his well being. So i gently close my tired eyes.

Minutes passed...

...ARI!

...

...ARI!

Who is calling me?

...ARI RUN!!

Who's voice is that? It's annoying.

...ARI RUN!! HIDE!

Run? Hide? from whom? who is talking to me?

ARI RUN!! HIDE! THEY ARE HERE!

Who are they?

I begin to see images of my home, my village being on fire. screaming, violence, cursing of people and my family. I get another image flashed on my eyes this time of my family arguing about something.

"We can not trust them at all. They look like bandits and raiders. They do not look like royalty at all."

"Listen to me we have nothing else to give. No food, no harvested crops NOTHING."

"So what you want to give our daughters to those bastards? I love my daughters I would never sell them for survival unlike you woman."

"How dare you talk to me like tha--"

That memory stopped and I started to remember that it was my parents arguing about me. They wanted to get rid of me and my sisters. I shouldn't have existed.

'I shouldn't have existed' I uttered that to myself. Its not like anyone can hear me anyway in my bedroom. I started to feel sleepy and I began to slowly move to my uncomfortable bed. As I sat down and looked up the ceiling I had one last thought. 'At least this will be over soon now that we don't have any food. So might as well starve mysel-'

I slept instantly

another image emerged.

"Would you look at that? Another jackpot scored. Told you we would score something big." A man manically laughed with his group."What race is she again?" Said someone from the outside. "Huh? Did you not look at our treasure? She is an elf of course. Those royal perverts buyout these elven slaves for a very high price. We could make banks if we raid more!" The man laughed again.

'I'm tied up, I can't move at all. I can't even utter a word with that thing on my mouth. It's gross. I guess this was my cruel fate again. I guess I'm going to be treated better with royalties right? They are much richer and have nice food than my parents.' I say it in my head to make myself believe that everything will be fine.

"Haha I feel you, we should start scoping out the next village that is not far from her-".

...

The images stopped appearing again. I tried to take over control again but I felt a sudden sharp pain in my chest and because of it another image appeared.

"Who the hell is this monster? If you are going to kill me then I'm taking her with me!" Said the man and took his knife and stabbed me with it couple of times.

I felt the sharp knife stabbing me couple of times and It began to hurt. The pain was much worse than my mother's hands and I started crying thinking of my father. I started slowly losing consciousness and felt someone trying to grab my soul to the next realm.

'Oh....goddess....Rixxia...have....mercy... upon me' I chanted the words that my father always taught me. to pray on the goddess of this world.

'oh...blood...' I gasped with words while seeing the amount of blood coming out of my chest and bloodying my short white dress.

I kept hearing screaming of men and gasps of them presumably fighting someone or something.

The person that stabbed me began to shout to his group "RUN dammit we can't kill this guy we should notify-- AHHGGGGGGGGH" the man began slowly lying down on the chariot carriage with me.

Huge footsteps started approaching me it sounded like something out of this world.

Then a scary looking black armored person came up to me and with my last bit of consciousness I heard him saying "Shame I couldn-" and the voice cut off. His voice sounded very ghostly, very deep and scary. Not that it matters I am dying.

I began to hallucinate

"If you are going to kill me then I'm taking her with me!"

stab

again

"If you are going to kill me then I'm taking her with me!"

stab stab

and again

"If you are going to kill me then I'm taking her with me!"

stab stab stab

...

"GASP!" I gasped so hard and woke up all sweaty. I clenched my stomach where the stab wound is, or rather was. 'Was I dreaming again? It looked real I wish it was real.' I say that while the armored man looked straight at me.

"Is it the dream again?" said the man while leaning against the tree. I began to tear up.

"sniff, yes sniff ueweeeaaa" I started to crying. I wish I didn't exist. I should have been dead but, I am not.

He started to walk up to me and hugged me tightly "I am so sorry you had to endure that. You are very brave and strong to still be with me now. I assure you, I will be your shield." said the man softly while wiping the tear of my face.
