Chirp~! Chirp~!
High-pitched ambient sounds of birds singing and urging me to wake up stream into my ears.
The darkness slowly fades away, and the warm rays of the morning sun replace it, making me squint my eyes as I open them, staring at the grass on the ground on which they reflect.
A strange, unpleasant taste lingers in my tongue, and as I move my tongue around my mouth, I recognize the prickly texture.
"Ptui!" I spit them out.
It's sand, mixed with some small pieces of leaf too. But spitting them out doesn't help much, because some tiny grains of sand still swim inside my mouth.
"Mmmn.." I let out a soft groan, my eyes continuously blinking as I shake my head slowly, washing away the morning haziness from my body.
In the far distance, away from this field, random voices echo.
The vibrant sounds of laughter, the annoyed yells and the clanging sound of steel being hit by steel.
