For The Ghost In The Forest
"KA- KAKA KA KA!" A bird landed on the left side of my shoulder.
'A human?' I thought to myself.
That was quite shocking to say the least. For the past few hundred years, no human have reached the entrance of the my space, because of the hardship they have to endure and experience on the way.
"Would you mind leading the way?" I asked the bird while patting it's head.
"KA!" I followed the bird as it lead the way.
After a while of flying, I saw girl. She looked no older than twenty years old. She had a silky white hair that reached her waist and golden eyes that stand out among others. Her clothes were cut and torn, the dress that used to be white was now covered in dirt and mud.
There were cuts all over her body, but the one the stood out to me was the six cuts that were perfectly align on her left arms.
I watched her go through my space. She encountered various monster, yet she bravely fought all of them.
The first monster she met was a lizard like monster. It had one eye and a huge body.
Each monster she will have to fight have a purpose and this one is all about Stillness. A skill you need in order to survive this forest.
Tap!*
Tap!*
Tap!*
I watched as the monster got closer and closer to her. It's movement were rapid and steady. A normal mortal wouldn't have even notice it moving yet this girl felt it.
The girl grab a stick and pointed it at the direction of the monster. She was shaking while trying to stay still as she waited for what's to come.
With one motion, the monster showed itself. It's green eye directly looking at her.
"Ack!" She fell backwards, surprise by its sudden appearance.
The monster eye started to glow, never leaving it's gaze upon her. One of the scar on her left hand reopened.
"KAAA!!!" The bird on my shoulder suddenly became wild.
"?!" The bird almost rushed toward the girl, thankfully i was able to grab it on time.
An unusual reaction, not that her appearance was normal.
"Mhmm?" I observed the girl and the bird.
"Do you know her little birdie?" I asked the bird who was trying to set itself free from my grip.
"KAA!!!"
"Ah... so you do know her."
"Do you want me to help her?" I whispered.
"KAA! KAA!"
"I see." I set the little birdie free.
I flew toward the girl and hovered above her.
"Oh...?" I wonder, for some reason she reminded me of someone.
"Don't move" I quietly told the girl.
The girl froze and tried to find the source of the sound. She didn't notice that her nails were causing her palm to bleed.
"Breath in, breath out..."
She looked down, closed her eyes and followed my instructions.

The sun had started to rise when she arrived at the edge of the cliff. Her eyes wandered around observing her surroundings. Infront of her was a mountain so high it reached the clouds. She knelt down and looked down. The dark color of the sea made it clear that it's deep.
Swoosh!* She heard a bird fly. Looking up, she saw the bird fly towards the horizontal. The scene was captivating, combined with the color of the sky and the scenery.
The color of the sky was a mixture of red, orange and pink. Each color looked as if it was dancing and swirling around.
"What a beautiful view..." She whispered in a soft voice.
Who would have thought that this cruel world was capable of creating such a beautiful scenery.
She looked behind her and the view of the forest entered her gaze.
