chapter 1:where is this place
Claire
*holds her head* where am I
As she sat up and looked around to see unfamiliar faces on the ground to all in confusion
Murmurs made the place noisy as they began questioning each other
A little girl beside me woke up afraid of the new environment started crying
Ariel
Mummy....sob.....mummy where are you .....sob....please don't leave me.... I'll be a good girl
Claire
*focusing on the murmurs and the wails of the girl* we all speak the same language
Claire
Little girl what's your name?
Ariel
Ariel....um...do you know where my mum is?
Claire
No but I can keep you company while you search for her maybe......
A paradoxical laughter erupted from the abandoned building facing us as a masked man appeared
masked man
*opening his arms wide and in a cheerful sarcastic voice* Welcome Welcome Welcome Welcome to our new and fantastic game.
random man
Do we look like we have time to play silly games. Am late for work you crazy person
masked man
*In a deranged voice while scratching his head furiously* crazy he called me crazy what shall we do he called us crazy
In a speed of light he was at the man's side holding his detached head
masked man
We don't like to be interrupted wait until I finish *changing his to a more cheerful tone he continued* now where was I ...oh yes...this is a game of survival of the fittest...giggling....only the smartest or the strongest or even the foolish can survive
Claire
*why does all my senses tell me to run away from this man but my body is paralyzed in fear*
masked man
but don't worry we'll give you one week to adjust to the environment then the real fun will start.....laughing deliriously
masked man
Have fun *and with those few words he disappeared with a snap of a finger*
murmurs filled the air again as more people begun joining into groups
Luther
we accept strong able men only *pushing an old man out of his way as more people joined his side*
Claire
*thinking* he said adjusting to the environment....adjusting mmh….... An idea came to mind
Claire
Ariel do you mind following me
Ariel
shaking her head as she held my hand tightly
Both of them went around surveying the area.
Claire
Ariel look a supermarket!
Ariel
Can we get something to eat am kinda hungry
Claire
Sure let's go loot....shopping time *in a fun voice*
making sure no one was around they took most of the canned food and clothes and hid most of them. Satisfied with the work they went around surveying more parts
Ariel
do you think I'll be able to find my mom..*in a sad tone*
Claire
I hope we do but we must survive in order to look for your mum...let's go look for something to protect ourselves with
Ariel
*in a puzzled look* protect?
Claire
I learned it from my dad if you are in unknown place look for food and something to protect you first
Claire
if this place was once inhabited by human like us then there must be a place with weapons
After a couple of turns around the building they found a place filled with weapons
Ariel
aaah! May I take this *holding a black bow in joy*
Claire
Do you know how to use it?
Ariel
*in a confident tone* Hehehehe... Do you know I was the winner in continental archery championship
Claire
Woow well you better take the arrows behind you then
Handing her the black quiver full of arrows to her... A display caught her attention not listening to Ariel she strode towards the wall
Claire
they are beautiful!
Ariel
what is? *looking around in confusion as she asked Claire again* what are you looking at
Claire stretched her trembling hand to touch the display
Claire
Never in my wildest dreams would i think to find such a legend here...I ...I though they were myths told by my dad but...
Taking one of them into her shaking hands
Claire
One of the seven swords of life...the Yang
Ariel
and what about the rest what are their names then
pointing at the black one
Claire
Is known as the Yin or the black dragon
Claire
Is known as the Akai or the red dragon
Pointing at the one below it
Claire
This is called The Ao or the blue dragon
Claire
Then this is called the Midori or the green dragon
Claire
And then the other two are called the Murasaki or the purple dragon and the Kiiro or the yellow dragon
Claire
I'll take all of them *in a delightful tone as the combined all of them into a bag she took from the counter*
As they were about to leave a small leather pouch caught Claire's eyes as the description was written 'portable space bag' on the price tag below.
Claire
Space bag? *taking the pouch in hand to examine it engulfed the bag she had and in shock she stood there appalled of what had happened
Ariel
Where did your bag go?
Claire
Um...in here?..... Ariel would you hand over your luggage please
As she gave her the bow and quivers, she placed them in front of the pouch, and instantly they were engulfed
Claire
*in a glad tone* Ariel we've hit a jack pot take all the things you need, we'll put them here
Ariel
um....sure... *picking more quivers and bows and giving Claire to store
Claire
Lets head back before dark comes its not safe at night
Tracing their way back they took the things they hid in the supermarket before heading to where the rest were
Claire
Hiiii I am Claire Wren a 20 year old student doing a degree in Anatomy before being dragged here
Ariel
Hiii am Ariel Willows a 13 year old i really like Claire, I consider her as my big sister ...hehehe...I hope i find my mom ooh did I mention i was the winner in continental archery championship
