*Whooosshhh* (sound)
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!" (screaming)
*Whoooosssh* (sound)
"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" (screaming)
*Bang!* (loud thud)
"Ughhhh" (a pained moan)
"Haaaaaaaghhhhh" (another pained moan)
"Ughh God..godd.. Goddammmittttt!!"
(welp,curse this time ^_^)
"Goddamn you insane spirits!", the curses that escaped V's lips echoed through the forest, startling what seems to be a few birds into flight.
As she lay there, unable to move, she assessed her aching body for any injuries.
Her palms seems to scraped against the rough earth as she landed with a jarring thud.
A string of more colorful expletives continued to flow out of her lips, causing a ruckus in the quiet and unfamiliar environment.
No broken bones atleast. But m*therfxckers my whole body ache!!!!
She then glared up the sky, as if daring the spirits to descend from heaven and face her wrath.
"Fuck.. I can't fucking move. Goddamn you! Assholes! Jerks!" her voice started to get hoarse.
Her throat now felt dry from shouting curses to the deaf spirits.
V's eyes scanned her surroundings, taking in the unfamiliar trees and underbrush.
The sunlight filtering through the leaves cast dappled shadows on the ground to where she is.
She breathed in deeply, feeling the cool air of forest fill her lungs and tried to calm herself.
"What kind of sick, cosmic joke is this?" V muttered.
Where am i?
She summoned all her remaining strength and tried to sit up, but to no avail.
Helpless, she tried to assess her surroundings with her eyes once more.
And because her movements are limited, she can only see as far as her eyes can see.
She can only still see the same trees she saw earlier.
She looked up over her head, painfully craning her neck to her right.
She saw a pool of water.
She breathe in again.
The air is thick with otherworldly scent - something only a fantasy fanatic like her can smell.
"Did i just get fucking isekai'd?" her eyes widened a bit.
A little excited despite the pain she's feeling.
She tried to look down, but she can still see the clothes she wore this morning.
"Fuck not isekai'd i see."
She's expecting her clothes to change into something fancy.
Like those that had died and their soul got transported to another body.
"Im still in my body i guess.." But then her face lift up.
"Oh how about my face? Maybe my face got changed?"
This time she really struggled to move, determined to see her face in the pool of water she saw.
"But fuck i can't stand... well, i'll just crawl!"
"Ah sweet success!" she exclaimed when she finally get to move.
As she deemed it more important to see if her face had changed.
She shifted her position.
After what felt like an eternity, she crawled oh so painfully slow.
But determination is what fueled her.
At long last she managed to get into the pool of water..
Moment of truth! she thought.
Hopeful that her face has changed somehow.
She closed her eyes and get her face near the water.
Once she's sure that she's face to face to it, she opened her eyes.
But in her dismay, she can still see her ordinary face.
Dirty and Ugly. "Arggggh! No fucking luck!"
"Goddamn you..." V suddenly forgot who she's cursing.
"Fuck... fuck you whoever you are!"
Her head startes to hurt when she tried to remember.
It's like there is a sudden blank in her head.
"Agggghhh whatever!"
Then she tried to look again on the water.
Brown dull eyes stared back at her, her ugly face is muddy.
And her mole.. wait, i think my mole just got smaller!
But well, so what if it gets smaller? Will it change anything?
No. She's still here. Crawling like a fucking lizard.
I'm thirsty.
She looked at the pool of water and gulped.
Goddamnit.
It's dirty. No no no no! Absolutely not!
I'll just die like this.
Where am i? What am i doing here?
As she asked herself that, she can feel the exhaustion taking it's toll in her body.
What.. what am i thinking again?
And with that she falls asleep in a very uncomfortable position near the pool of water.
Not knowing that she's indeed in another world.
And the place where she landed is a place known by it's inhabitants as...
The Forest of Memories.
A place where recollections slipped away like sand between fingers.
The forest floor, covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves, seemed to swallow her whole.
The tress loomed above, their branches tangling together like a skeletal fingers.
