Chereads / Echoes of Shemaris / Chapter 2 - Waves Of Silence

Chapter 2 - Waves Of Silence

"Welcome Ibrahim to the world of echoes"

"Who are you?, and why am I here?"

"Soon you will know everything, but let me tell you about our story, the story of Shemaris and how we need your help"

"Wait...you want me to help this city, but how am I going to help you without knowing anything?"

"First, I can't call you by your real name here"

"Why you can't call me by my real name?"

"Because every sound can be heard by anyone especially those who can control with echoes"

"How come no one heard us yet?"

"I have this cape that makes a zone that separates us from the outer world, that's why no one heard us yet"

"But why me exactly that you want help from?

"...."

"So you prefer not to speak, forget about it I can help you, but you promise to take me home after?"

"I can't promise you now for some reason"

"What is the reason?"

"you are not ready to know it yet"

"Why?"

"Just you are not ready yet, but you know let's prepare you to adapt to this new world, wait do you have any other name I can call you with?"

"Yeah, call me Roshema"

"So, Roshema our journey begins here", I saw him snap his fingers, and the zone was gone.

"Ugh...my head is hurting me again"

"You'll get used to this in no time just do what I say, ok?"

"Okay"

"Great, now let's get going"

"Where are we going?", with a suspicious smile, and told me.

"Somewhere far away from here, just don't play dumb and do as I say, understood?"

"But let me ask you something about your power"

"hmm...ok go ahead"

"While this zone is on I saw something coming towards us and it was like a shockwave or something like that, and then it vanishes without any effect, why is that?"

"Ok, I will tell you, that shockwave didn't make any effect on us thanks to the protective layer that I put on the zone"

"Understood, ok let's go"

We walked about 2 miles on foot, but while walking I noticed that this city looked like an ancient Japanese city, it seemed like it was from the distant future. I saw that nobody spoke normally, but they spoke with some sort of sound and I could hear everyone talking near me, and the thing that I found weird was that nobody moved their lips to talk but after I asked the cape man about that he told me that "Nobody using their lips to talk unless they are away from each other, and yeah they are using their mind to receive their echo's frequency, and yeah you can hear them too by walking near hem but it lasts a few seconds before they notice that you can hear them"

"But how could they know that?"

"They can know easily that you can hear them, by getting near them by a certain distance your communicating echo system overlaps with their own"

"Thanks for the clarification"

"No problem", after a while of walking and discovering new things, we finally arrived at our destination.

"What is this, it's like a fortress or something"

"Shhh...lower your voice because we don't know who is nearby"

I made a thumbs-up emote that I agreed with him.

"Now (Zone- Eternal silence), now nobody can hear us"

"My head is not hurting now, thanks to your cape ability"

"This cape can change its second colour by the one who uses it, but you can't change the black colour, you see this yellow I...umm nothing"

"Why did you stop talking I was...are you ok?"

"Yeah I feel great but I remembered something...you know what forget about it and let's continue our journey, shall we?"

"Absolutely"

"Great let's enter this kinda ruins of an old fortress, (zone off)"

"Hey, you cape man enter first I'll be waiting for your sign"

"Ok but Let me tell you, this area is full of thugs who can easily kill you or kidnap you"

"Umm...wait for me I am coming"

"Huh...what a coward"

"I can hear you"

"I know that idiot"

"You are an idiot"

"Look I'm not here to waste my time so let's get going before it gets dark"

"Oh yeah, I agree with you", After a little walk, we finally arrived at a motel to sleep, Each of us took a detached room, that is what the cape man wanted but didn't know why.

"So, Shema sleep well we have a long day tomorrow"

"Ok, sweet dreams for you", he went to his room and also me to sleep, in the morning we took a ride from the motel to the old fortress's ruins.

"Didn't we come here yesterday?"

"Yeah, but I sensed something off about this place and wanted to check, and I asked the owner of the motel if he knew anything about this old fortress but he looked nervous and started sweating like crazy, so left without a word, now I want to know what's behind this fortress"

"How long will you be looking?"

"Until we find something interesting"

"When will you stop?"

"I don't know, maybe until dawn"

"WHAT?!, until dawn, why?"

"I want to know every secret about this place, and how did it get to this wreck?"

"Ok I'll help you", we kept searching for anything that could lead us to anything until, heard someone behind us, when I turned to see who is this I saw a man walking towards us snapping his finger and making kind of a shockwave around his fingers, and he was with a black and green cape like the one with the cape man and something like a bandana covering his face and with deep voice.

"Yo-yo, look who is here?"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Corvix"

"Well, hello Cor..."

"Nexis Reverb-first form(Nexoria of death)"
