Near the river a boy floating in deep slumber. Waves after waves of slender water flows simultaneously his body swings left right in cooperation.
In the red moon light, Two stones some five and six feet high on near the bank of the river like a natural path connecting the right bank to the left bank and in between there is a 5 feet tall boy whose body below the waist is sunk in the depth of the red painted river and the part above the waist is swaying left right in the flowing river. Such clean water enters his mouth as well in nose but to no avail getting any sign of waking up of his deep slumber.
River visible in red, glistening in resemblance of three big round moons, placed one after another over head in this vast dark sky, maybe near north star or supposed to be if this place has any or some resemblance of boy's native home.
A hord of small fishes of pinky finger size, stick to him like leeches wants to drain out his blood but instead of sipping blood, these small timers fill their tiny tummies with the Mana, leaking out of his wounds. Well system already on alarmed of such things but without will of fainted one, it can't even muster any tricks, don't forget it's cockiness either.
*Coo! Coo! Gru! Gru!*
**Caw! Caw! Turrr! Turrr!**
*Hisss! Hisss! Swiss!*
Strange noises of night walkers like singing in chorus, reverberate in and out of this dense forest. Those big sky kissing slender tall trees of rough skin has sprouted all around, widely spreaded branches are thickly clinging to eachother, not a single spark of light peep out. These trees has some sharp edges flowers so does leaves. Only creatures with steel gut can hive in it or else cut off in pieces without any effort once touches any trunks.
This whole place looks like a painted idea of some drunken creep, loosen all hope of peace, living in drousiness elaborate this floppy idea on a canvas. Such a creepy reality this is, a place filled of predators eyeing on prey's, dark gloomy atmosphere filled of dark miasma.
A camouflage of thick dark fog peered through this dense forest as well various beetle or bats like creatures releasing dorky noises in response of some silhouette heeling in rush after another silhouette who is dashing forward nonchalantly crossed many bushes, left many tall trees, crushed heighten grasses.
It's been a whole while, some bulky figures of covered faces of panty like mask, still struggling to find the person they are chasing after. This dense darkness covers their complexion but their heavy footing with every steps they had taken till now, shows these chasers aren't ordinary cuz of 3 inch deep holes in ground, aftermath of their rush.
The person who is being chased, has covered its face by a lined veil. On top of its head has a river of flame designed inside while plastered a roaring lion in red outside of a circular violet torus.
A purple shiny pearl placed in middle which is flickering, fading its charm and lightness as she ran. A gray reverse cone shape, is on top of that pearl, which upper half sliced open in four petals. Golden glittering stones, some gems as well as some figure studded with precious diamonds hang from the four petals woven with a silken thread.
Don't talk about clothes, cuz darkness clad this person too in dark hue other than those precious things hanging and shines time after time when glimmer within the moonlight, leaving its trail and position for pursuers to pursue.
Finally gets some distance, founded a hiding place. This person hid itself under a tree coter, a not big hole but with enough space for someone to crawl to slid inside this space.
A secret place among thorny plants, spiky branches and tall black grass. Behind of tall three thick trees, a fourth one with less greenery, must be at the end of its lifespan. This tree gave this person a break to catch its much needed breath.
*Cut! Sludge! Cut! Sludge!*
"Croak th bola gu hey te?"
One of the chasers broken the vary quiteness so does halts their chase too, like time has come to take a decision. Replied by other's,
"hu hslo gy eastena, me kio" others nodded their heads in acknowledgement, then another one baffled, "ibo gak westana murat gku khoy"
"Hail jo! Hail Kho! Hail so! Hail bho!"
Don't know why but suddenly they all started hailing, nodding altogether. Even the little insects crawls back cuz the might of noise they reverberate. Acknowledge by the first bulky figure, two went in East, three goes to west, one went backwards and remain two saunter in South. Passed by this person who hid itself in a dark coter, holds both hands shut its mouth, so won't release any sounds even control its heartbeat so these pursuers keen senses won't catch it.
Luckily they didn't notice, well there's a lot of noises to begin with as well predators and prey's. One of the giant boar with long tusks and two horn of forehead, came from some place and attacked the chasers who went to south. Overpowered them, ate one and chased another who went somewhere deep in dense forest. Other giants ROAR! echoes some distance away as well helpless voices of besieged ones. Stomped for hours too and so starts a brutal royal battle Kill or come in my tummy.
Don't know how long those horrifying sounds lasted, the cries of life's alms victory lasted, but when this person woke up from sleep with a roaring fierce voice. As if seen a nightmare shouted aloud. "Huff! Huff! Huff! Gejena keo ip."
"Huff! Huff! Hufft! Hufft!"
As if seen something horrible, sweats dripping like rain from its covered forehead to the deepest parts. Whole body bathed within sweats and continues long breathing, lasted for some hour. Once calm down, tries to hear outside whispers but nonetheless not an insect is crawling or any noises were appear in its hearing range.
It came out from that coter and turns to look around, even this dense dark forest has its own creepy presence. A shiver ran down its spine, still sweating it starts walking, sometime limping, it got up in a huff and walked towards the sound of the flowing river as if bearing the weight of many generations, sometimes fell on right or on left leg wobbles many times. Like a sleep walker it walks.
Nothing unexpected happens during this person's walk and finally reached. Above red moons shinning bright in cloudless dark sky. Beneath a dark forest covers by a thick fog on left of such forest exist an ages long flowing river painted in blood red and lastly on left of this river has aged tall mountain's, who's peak God knows where sky has eaten.
The dark silhouette reaches and enters inside the slow flowing river. Bathed by dipping for several occasions. Even has dipped many times to get rid of drousiness but It is proving difficult for this person to stop the blackness of extreme darkness from taking over its mind.
Took water under its palms and sip it to calm its boiling thirst but eyes seems to says otherwise. Once felt enough, it let its body float in river. On that moment it's hand touches another, a tinge of fearful shiver ran down under its spine, quickly retract it's hand near to it's chest.
"Lub! Dub! Lub! Dub! Ah kdl iu fg?"
Talks to itself but no answer were given by boy's comatose figure. This person under a veil, clenched its fists then nodded, like reassuring itself, approach him. Felt its pulse still beeping this person even though drenched with tiredness, there is no strain of strength in body but yet with staggering steps, it pulled the boy's heavy body out of the river. At the same time, a hovering of violet eyed bears step out of that dense forest, rushes towards boy's and its new companion.
*Roaar! Growl! Roaar! Growl! Roaar! Growl!*
Whole place quack with painful merciless roars of these overgrown 6' ft tall bears. Blood was still dripping from their nails like has just killed many and now wants more to devour. The three in front dashed, the blood stench mixed with their overwhelming Aura makes breathing unbearable. Both of them fall on the place. The person seeing jaws of deadly claws in front closes its eye's, heart beating under its chest like wants to come out, head down as if accepted its fate,
*Baaaaaaang! Boooooomm!*
System can't do much but when it's host seems on the brink of death it can't help but butt in. System unleashed two layers of square of barrier covered both people from around. Just by touching this barrier, those three bears evaporated leaving some violet small palm size dark mana flowing crystals. Seeing their vanguard been turn to nothing, anxiety fear of loosing their life, remain four ran back on their four limbs more swiftly than coming in close of them.
