Tahel felt light after sleeping, as if he was released from all the twists and turns of the world and was free.
He felt that his soul was flying, maybe all this is because of the complicated adventures he had gone through.
Events that still do not have an answer for them. He still did not know himself and did not know who he was.
However, he knew that whoever he is, he cannot escape from himself and one day his true identity will be revealed and he will face his true self.
Silence was everywhere and for a moment he felt a heavy feeling on his body.
Probably that feeling is due to his excessive fatigue.
His ears were sharpened to the surrounding sounds; He could not get up. But he felt semi-conscious, and could notice the movements around him.
A little sound could be heard in the distance; The sound of someone walking.
The sound was getting closer to him and it smelled unpleasant.
For a moment he heard the sound of something being scratched; It was like someone dragging on the ground with their long claws; An inhuman voice.
Along with his voice, he could hear whispers, which were unreadable to him.
Tahel tried to open his eyes and examine the surroundings.
Was someone playing a joke on him?! However, he could not even move an inch. Neither his eyes nor his mouth would open. As if his body was locked. He could only stay where he was and wait for the voice to come.
To find out who is playing a joke on him.
His body felt a slight tremor; He felt a strong aura from the side of the voice; A crushing aura that made him feel like his bones were under a lot of pressure and might break at any moment.
Tahel once again tried to get up, he pressed his mind to get out of that pitiful situation, but his mind and body did not cooperate with him and did not respond to his request.
The sound of footsteps came closer to him and made him feel that something was above him.
He could smell a bad smell that made him want to vomit up at any moment.
"Uggh..."
But this was really strange, the place where he slept did not smell like that and even the floor was hard.
However, he could feel a lot of moisture around him and a bad smell that made him think he was in a swamp.
Suddenly, a sense of fear came over him. Tahel had a suffocating feeling that he might die in a moment.
He was afraid, but of what?!
His body instinctively reacted to that sound.
It is as if that voice is related to a creature, quite dangerous.
Next to his ear, he heard strange whispers with a frightening sound.
He felt that he should not react at this moment.
"I shouldn't move..."
He was like a child who hides under his blanket after hearing a scary story and feels that it is the safest place for him and if he does not move, the monster in the story will not notice him and he can be saved.
But that creature did not intend to stop.
He touched Tahel's body with his long claws. But it wasn't just a touch, he was scratching her skin.
Blood was flowing from under his skin.
And the atmosphere there was getting colored with the smell of his blood.
A creature with a black cover like night and without a face; The creature's entire body was covered with pieces of darkness like cloth, like an ugly cloth doll with long claws.
The creature was waiting for Tahel's reaction, but the boy did not show any movement.
By now, the boy's body was in a state of sleep paralysis due to the shock, and he could not move.
Maybe this is the best way for him, because if he reacted at that moment, the creature would notice his presence. and takes his soul captive.
And he never had a chance to return.
He would be stuck in the nightmare world forever.
Tahel did not know how to get out of the creature's trap at this moment.
"What should I do?!"
He understood that he was in another place; Maybe he is still asleep and it is his soul that has come to this place.
So he had to try to wake up. But how?
He still did not know the answer.
****************
At the same time.
Karina was very scared to see Tahel who was sleeping and his body was convulsing. and shouted loudly.
"Aaaahhhhhhhhhh..."
Elaine and Zack, who heard the sound of Karina's scream, quickly went towards that sound.
The sound was coming from the rest room. They were very scared, and they didn't know what happened.
When they got there, they encountered the face of shocked Karina's face; Fear flashed in his eyes and his small body was shaking.
Elaine slowly went to Karina and hugged her. Elaine's embrace was warm and took Karina out of state of shock.
Karina, who had calmed down, pointed to Tahel and stammered: "Ther... there... he is shaking!"
After Karina's hint, Elaine and Zack found out about the Tahel situation.
Elaine said worriedly, "Zack, hurry up and pick up something hard, she's having a seizure."
Elaine quickly went to Tahel and tried to hold Tahel's body tightly and control him from shaking too much.
Meanwhile, Zack took a piece of cloth, which he had compressed several layers of, and put it in Tahel's mouth. To prevent himself from biting his tongue.
Karina, who was very scared, asked with a worried expression: "Is he going to be okay?"
"Don't worry," Zack said with a cool face.
After a few minutes, Tahel's body calmed down and he was out of convulsions.
His body was drenched in cold sweat, the color was paled from his face, and the blood vessels under his skin were clearly visible.
Elaine and Zach were completely confused by this situation. So they decided to wait there until Tahel came to his senses.
It was a little past dinner time, and Billy and Josh went back underground after they finished guarding.
It was quiet there, and even Elaine and Zack, who always prepared food at these times, were not in the dining room.
They didn't know what happened, so they went to the rest room.
"They must have gone to the break room, I hope Zack doesn't bother that boy," Joshua joked.
Billy put a hand on Josh's shoulder and said, "The only one who's going to get beat up is you, Zack isn't that stupid."
Joshua wrapped his arm around Billy's waist and rested his head on her shoulder, "How can you be so mean to me?" he said with a sad expression.
Billy, angered by Josh's move, punched him hard in the stomach, causing Josh to twisting in pain, and Billy grinned in satisfaction.
"Hahaha."
After a few minutes they reached the break room and noticed the tense atmosphere there.
Joshua asked with a surprised expression: "What's going on here?"
Elaine answered with a worried expression: "Tahel has had a seizure and has not regained consciousness. We also waited here to see who will regain consciousness."
So Josh and Billy decided to stay there and take turns watching over Tahel.
And Zack went to the entrance to guard.
At this time, Elaine also decided to prepare food for the group, so she took Karina with her, to get her out of that worried state by making her cook.
After half an hour, Tahel regained consciousness.
