A student near his twenties with a wet backpack and dirt jacket, slowly walking home while carrying a broken bicycle while having visible some bruises on his face.
He looked tired and the of his jacket was open while letting the cold October air flow onto his chest, yet he wasn't bothered by that and rather enjoyed it.
Upon arriving he with his other hand opened fence gate and walked in, he lowered slowly his back down while placing the dear bicycle down, he looked at it wanting to internally cry, but only sighed.
He locked his bicycle and went inside the apartment building. He greeted the two young administrators while taking the key and going upstairs.
As he went upstairs the administrators continued chatting with each other, eventually forgetting about him.
As he went upstairs as he stood before his dorm door.
He took the one and only given key to him and placed it in the key hole and slowly opened the door, soon he saw a figure, he saw it often here, very.
He went inside while ignoring it, he dropped his jacked on side of his bed along with his wet backpack on the floor.
Dropping himself on the bed, he sighed, the figure was still standing there, except for the twisted neck and it staring at him.
The boy finally broke the silence with a muffled voice, "What is it this time."
The figure finally smiled and sat down near him while head was still focused on him, "...", the boy looked at the figure but no matter how many times he did, he never saw it, he only saw it like a big silloete, a shadow.
He saw this figure long ago, it was with him all his life, everyone thought he was schizo and he thought so too, he can't touch or hear, but yet he can see 'it'.
The figure only appeared when something happens, it even appeared when he was a small kid, when he lost his parents, when his friends and classmates died, basically the figure was a symbol of death to him.
"Still silent?" The boy pushed his head back into a pillow while not caring what will happen to him, 'You ruined everything... Only if I could would have a normal life...'
The figure smiled and placed hand onto him, 'Is that what you want... !*^#?'
The boy slowly fell asleep, while figure faded away, while the ra
...
Next second when he opened his eyes instead of waking up in dormitories, he saw a blurry image, 'What the, am I still dreaming?'
He reopened his eyes a few times and the image became more clear, that was a wooden ceiling, he slowly got up with pain all over his body
"What is this disgusting feeling in my chest..." He felt as if he drank cup of water and everything went to his lungs instead, "What's with my voice? Where am I? Who am I?"
A door opened and he saw a woman in 40's with brown hair appear, she ran to him and cuddled him, "Alex, please don't do it again, I was worried about you!"
'Alex?' He was too stunned to speak and suddenly sharp pain appeared in his head while he instinctively said, "Mom?"
While being too stunned, Alex didn't push her back and calmly said, "Can I have a minute please, I am still confused from what happened."
She nodded while releasing him from the tight hug, she stopped near the door and looked at the Alex "Tristan needs a talk with you..."
As she closed the door, Alex could hear many voices in the house, mother was arguing with someone, 'My brother? I have a brother... I have mom...'
Alex sat in silence for a good while and after a while dropped down back on the bed, 'I have a new life, a whole family, and...'
Alex got up, slowly with trembling legs walked to the door and almost falling down with each step, he opened the door without thinking while entering kitchen where some of his family members were
Alex's mom - Annabel, oldest son in family, as well Alex's brother - Tristan, second oldest daughter in the family, Elysia
As Alex went out of his room, everyone stopped arguing, yet he as cripple was walking slowly towards the house's main door, everyone was too stunned to say or do anything.
Alex opened it and went slowly outside, after few steps he was standing still and looking at the view, he was on elevated hill while he was looking down from it where a city was, a medieval houses and a wall around it, while the behind the city was a big plains of farm lands
While being stunned, Alex never saw that much green in his life as he never interested in it.
Alex finally fell down on his arse and smiled while feeling grasp of grass under, 'And a new world...'
But soon after Alex felt presence of someone near him, he looked to the right and saw a face from his memories, "Brother?"
Tristan had a short cut brown hair and handsome face which would be liked by most women while he had sculpted body which made him look even better. He was near his 20's so he needed to find a partner soon, but he chose not to as he was more dedicated to martial arts.
Tristan while sitting near him smiled while looking at the city, "It is beautiful isn't it..."
Alex nodded while feeling awkward due to silence, "Are you mad..."
"No, I don't know details but I know that you wouldn't drown yourself, who was it." The smiled on Tristan's face dropped but he didn't look angry either, "It's okay if you don't want to say, I know you don't like when I meddle into your things."
Alex shook his head, "No, it's just that I don't know either, I don't remember anything from what happened then."
Tristan sighed and got up slowly, "Is that so... Let's go inside, Elysia and mom's worried."
Alex got up and went inside right after Tristan did, he looked at the mom and Elysia, while mom looked worried, Elysia didn't show anything on her face.
Tristan lifted his hand, "Don't worry, everything's fine."
She had long brown hair while it was messy, she didn't care, despite being only one year younger than Tristan and one year older than Alex, she was 19 years old while not getting even bothered for entrance exams to the mage school at the capital after a year, as she is lucky to be blessed by magic so she could use it, and despite that, she was also genius in it, so she wasn't even bothered.
She looked at Alex and got up while heading to her room not saying a word.
Tristan placed a hand on Alex's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I'll calm mom down, you should go take a rest, you can barely walk on your own."
Alex nodded and went back to my room and dropped down on his bed, "Who am I... Alex or... Rey..."
As Alex said that, he fell asleep from exhaustion...
