"Peace , finally I shall bear witness to the peace of death, all the life and death situations I've been through in the temple has finally come to an end , I can finally rest" Igris said.
"But what is this lonely feeling, despite how happy I am that I have finished all that ordeal, what is this weight on my chest " Igris thought as he sank deep into the abyss.
Finally, a bright light was coming closer, and closer to Igris, and...
**chirp, chirp**
The sound of birds filled the environment, animal noises could be heard, flowing of the river, the falling sound of water from the water fall.
"Huh, where am I ? " Igris said, sitting up gently.
"Is this the after life?"
"Wow, look how beautiful it is "
"Haaa, what's this, the air is so fresh and full" Igris said, taking a deep breath,
He finally stood up, looking around
" No one said the afterlife would be this beautiful " Igris thought , with a very bright smile on his face.
He was so excited, there was the cool breeze, the golden rays of sun, which felt really nourishing to the skin, everything was just perfect.
Igris was filled with awe of what he witnessed around him, he was so at peace, so at peace that suddenly he felt too good for the place and broke to in tears.
Despite how Igris tries to present himself before others, he still feels that he would never leave the shadow of his brothers, he will constantly be compared to great feats achieved by his elder brothers, and so What others did not know is Igris was depressed, that was one of the reasons he chose to isolate himself from the world.
He felt that he didn't have the bravely of his father, that is was all a front, a delusion he put himself in.
As he cried, he remembered the fact that he wouldn't be seeing his parents again, the fact that, all the people his age he just met, all died before him,
"I really am still the weak auraless Igris" Igris mustered,
"I thought afyer going through that experience I would have at least changed, or awakened something within me, disgraceful" Igris said slapping himself
"The greatest Siegfried ever, can't even use aura at age sixteen, I am happy that was over, I am no longer responsible for anyone, I will just stay here and do what people do in the afterlife " Igris said.
Igris sat down and continued to observe the world around him, it was at this point he heard something strange
***grumble.. grumble***
Alas!!! Igris Siegfried was hungry.
"How long has passed since I got into this mess, and wait am I supposed to be hungry in the afterlife? " Igris touched his stomach and thought.
"Anyways, I have to satisfy my stomach, now where do I start from" Igris said as he stood up, dusted his trouser and started to roam about,
"First , water " Igris said as he approached a lake, he washed his face and hands, and bent down to drink water directly from the lake, after drinking the water, he discovered something within him, there was this refreshment, like the water washed the impurities in him.
"Hmm, I do feel lighter, what was in that water" Igris thought as he stood up.
" Well, this is for the best, now I have enough energy to find food, I don't know what dangers lurk in this afterlife , but look at the bright side, I am alone, no one to criticize me, no one who expects anything from me, I feel I'm at my peak, I mean, what could possibly go wrong " Igris thought, as he ventured forth into the vast unknown to find food.
Little did he know that a whole new, strange world awaits him.
