Chereads / Antrica: The Fallen World / Chapter 3 - Rial

Chapter 3 - Rial

This world known as earth is about is about to be destroyed by a black hole and no one will survive but this one boy. Despite the odds he luckily left the earths orbit with the help of a dying mage before it was about to explode from the gravity of of the black hole. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Everyone IN THE SHELTER" 

"NOOOO Rial" The father looked up at his son flying into the sky towards the behemoth of a black hole. Looking up all you saw was the orange event horizon of the monster in the sky with its center just being pitch blackness. This world knew it was coming, they even prepared shelters imbued with many layers of magic to try and negate the pressure the gravity would bring. But this would all prove wrong in the end. 

Last second someone appeared out of no where who was worn out and it just happened to be the earths strongest mage. He knew the only possible way to preserve the human species was to try and save just one, one person and blast them off into space. He knew it was a long shot even still having to deal with space but it was the only hope. Aqua colored mana started to appear the around the old mages white jacket and a ball of energy was manifesting at the end of his wood staff. The spell became bigger and bigger until the old man was on his knees hoping this would work. First the young boy getting sucked into the sky by the black hole had a shield around him just enough to withstand space and the initial blast. Then...the explosion came. The mage disappeared and a hurling ball of aqua mana the size of whole house's together blasted against the boy like a nuke hitting the ground leading him to fly off into space at the speed no one can imagine. This knocked him unconscious as he was flying so fast his body could barley handle it. The explosion left bruises and cuts everywhere on his body and he was bleeding like a waterfall. In the process of doing this though the mage killed him and everyone in the nearest 500 mile radius. A lifetime of harnessing and perfecting mana released in the matter of seconds. To him it was worth the risk as the boy escaped the black hole the whole earth exploded into nothing and the boy was now the sole survivor of earth flying through space faster than the speed of light its almost as if physics is non existent. Mana sure does amazing things.

The young boy names Rial woke up breathing hard and in a pool of blood. His vision was blurry due to blood getting in his eye. Heart was beating so fast he is surprised he is not dead. Breathing as fast as a athletic runner he sounded like a engine. 

"Where am I?" due to losing so much blood his brain was having trouble remembering what exactly happened and where he was. Looking around he seemed to be in a mana circle that looked to be slowly moving and almost wore out. Looking down he just saw red due to the small puddle of blood causing him trouble maneuvering around. Every move caused him a little bit of agony due to the 16 year old's body barley surviving the explosion. Looking around though he noticed a planet he was heading straight for in the distance. It had blue waters of a ocean but the continents were completely different. There was no Asia, America, or anything just land masses that looked brand new. Then the mana circle started to move faster splashing around the blood all over and causing the boy to enter g lock due to the rapid acceleration. He was passed out heading for a new planet still confused and scared.

*BOOM

The explosion caused a tremendous explosion that could be hear for miles. When it landed the mana circle just barley managed to protect the boy and absorb the force exploding like a bubble with blood in it. Then Rial found himself knocked out in the middle of the western enchanted woods which is known to be the most dangerous part.

After several hours he woke up again shivering and barley on life's edge. He gets up only to realize his left leg is broke or shattered due to the insane amount of pain being caused by it. Falling back down he just sits there scraping for branches and builds a makeshift splint.

"Breathe in, Breathe out and think, turns out those survival classes I hated actually came in use." Little to his knowledge the adrenaline coursing through his blood was still active and is playing a use in him not freaking out like hell. He saw a mana red mana starting to mix with the aqua mana he recognized. It was almost leading him in a direction. 

"time to find out what's happening" A headache then coursed through his body as he started to limp in a direction. The trail of blood behind him was prominent though. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cat heard some rustling noise then saw the impact zone. Blood was everywhere and there were traces of unknown weirdly colored blue mana mixing with red mana still lingering around. then She saw the blood trail heading deeper into the forest. Whatever it was in a very bad state, She made a crystal ball appear that absorbed the lingering mana and started to walk along the blood trail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A River"

Rial got into the river to relax and think. Then a shock went through his body causing him to let out a scream, relaxing in the water caused the adrenaline which was already about to wear off, to wear off faster. The cuts and wounds he received all sheared in absolute pain. His mind not being able to process all the pain caused him to black out yet again for a third time and this time it seemed as if he was not going to wake up as his heart was beating slower and slower. 

"A scream!" The cat started to follow the river downstream more and then she saw it. A boy with no pointy ears, was the size of a elf, but not a Org, Dracotaur, Fairy, or the other species. He had brown hair and blue eyes and his clothes were on him but shattered and blacked from what seemed like a explosion. The weird mana still on him and also not being a species the cat knows about, confused the cat picked up the limb body with magic and started carrying him back upstream towards the main hill. Usually the cat did not help many things as it killed everything that would enter its territory and would never leave its territory. But after seeing the hero 6 years ago shun humanity even this what some would consider a ruthless monster of a cat feel bad for people that fate seemed to hate. 

On the main hill the cat had made little beds and a little shelter made for the Elf and Boy. Treating there countless wounds and broken limbs the cat looked back at the boulder. 

"Was this you?" Looking at the boulder the red mana started to disappear as if it was exhausted of a hard days work.

"Time to rest now I promise they have my protection." The mana fully disappeared while some of it went into the cat and the elf. A warm restful feeling filled the area as the elf's eyes started to open. 

As for Earth, The mana circle the mage made survived and managed to travel across the galaxy in a year then proceeded to survive crash landing on a remote planet. Which is the greatest, and last achievement the earth will ever have.
