Flames, dyed the world red,
not a single sign of life could be seen.
Everything was pure destruction.
Only a few beasts fighting over the bodies of the dead remained.
Just at top that very bridge where it all started,
Where two figures, one stood straight atop the steel beam he looked like someone in his mid thirties.
And the other bent down his hands on his cheek
Seemingly uninterested at what was happening,
He seemed younger nothing more than fifteen years.
"Hey Lucci, do u think that boy survived,"
The man standing spoke first, he had a deep masculine voice, that resonated calmly with the surrounding,
The one bent down just stared at him then at the broken bridge,
"Who knows?,"
"Let's just get back home, I'm bored, maybe boss could get to fight some high ranked beasts again"
his bored expression soon left in place of a wide grin,
The man sighed and crossed his arm,
"I say we check it out" 4
"What? Why? Let's just tell boss, that this was a failure too besides we cant just-"
The boy hadn't finished when the man jumped straight into the water,
The boy just let out a sigh,
"I'm getting something out of this old man"
Then followed,
I had long believed I was dead, but I could hear my own thoughts
Which proved otherwise
I opened my eyes, I was still drowning,
How deep is this damn ocean? I spoke out loud
But something wasn't right, I shouldn't be able to speak in the water, but that wasn't the only thing,
I could breathe, I could really breathe, I wasn't dying,
All this shouldn't make any sense,
Then it hit me, this was my final moments.
Just as I thought
I saw a white light,
I wasn't going towards it, it was coming towards me instead,
Once it finally got close I had a closer look at it,
It was a feminine figure she had long white clothing that floated seamlessly in the water, her skin was like jade, almost indistinguishable from the dress
Almost,
Her most noticeable feature was her ears her ears were like that of a fox pure white her face was truly beautiful,
I already knew I was dying, my mind had already begun hallucinating.
So this is what it meant by finding the most peaceful memories available
I gently closed my eyes,
It wasn't part of my memories but I already accepted dying.
When the creature let out a horrid scream,
It sounded so horrible I opened my eyes
The creature face contorting heavily it wasn't beautiful anymore she looked evil her eyes becoming red her face turning black, her head becoming three
Her skin turning black
That was when I came out of the trance,
It was the beast from before and right now
it was chomping on my arm, the crunching sound I felt told me my arm was gone,
I wasn't suprised at seeing the beast still alive
I knew it still lived,
That was when I realized, I could still breathe I don't know why but I wasn't wasting my chance again,
At that moment, all the rage resurfaced, I used my other good arm and fought back
It's other two heads lashing back at me , I kicked one of the heads with one of my leg
The other I fought with my other good arm, I punched blindly trying to fight back
But I was still losing blood, the first head still held tightly to my arm
I was losing consciousness but I was still trying to fight back,
my punches became weaker with each jab,
My other hand soon got grabbed as well as my leg
If I wasn't dying before I was dying for sure now,
But just as the beast dragged me deeper into the river,
It let go In an instant and with a frightened yell like a dog being beaten
It ran away deeper into the water,
in my head all I could say was
"come back here, you bastard "
My voice had already faded,
with a sigh I lost consciousness,
Gently I opened my eyes, I saw a bulb just above me, I was lying in what appeared to be a pod, I glanced at my arm, I could feel it now, it had healed up nicely,
My body didn't feel weak I felt almost brand new,
I tried pushing the pod, and with no effort, it came open, I glanced around me, everything looked different
The walls were made of some sort of metal, that looked incredibly beautiful, I stretched my arm to touch it, it resonated with my touch,
I was wearing a kind of white fabric,
I touched my hair and it felt different, I checked it on the glass of the pod from earlier. It was much more than it had doubled in its quantity but the major difference was the color. It wasn't black like before, it was white, which begs the question how long I've been here?
I opened the door, and stepped out my feet touching the cold metal floor,
I walked down the hallway,
I wanted to know where I was,so I needed to find someone in charge
Hello?, is anyone there " no reply
As I walked down the hall
I had a banging on a glass door
I looked beside me
A man sat there looking straight at me,
His eyes just stared at me wide open,
He gestured for me to come closer,
I wasn't sure if I should come closer but I decided to step closer,
After all, he was wearing the same white dresses i wore,
He said something but I couldn't piece it together
So I placed my ear on the glass,
And there it was it was just one word
"Run"
As I stepped back I hit something not the wall but something else
Behind me stood a goat figure over 7 feet tall
Then it screamed.
Not wasting a single second more, I ran, the creature chased me, on all four, letting out a mixture of a goat's bleat and a scream,
I kept looking behind me, till I tripped and fell,
The beast now stood face to face with me,
What the hell is this damn place?
And why me?.
