Encounter

"Don't worry"

I was standing there dumbfoundedly.

The massive aligned circles, lie within, is gigantic mushroom tree shedding like a canopy covering the whole floating island.

Mesmerized by this beauty. I try to collect myself, not believing with my own eyes.

"Isn't this beautiful?", he asked in a plain voice.

Firstly, you freak me out. Secondly, you brought me here and third you are asking about my opinion in these chaos. You old Jerk. I thought myself.

"umm..", I replied back, occupied myself in my thoughts.

"Let's go", he said.

Suddenly asking me to go. Now where? Before I could open my mouth. Just like an illusion, I saw my surroundings changing into a terrible scenerio. I try to catch up with him but he was nowhere to be found. I felt something behind me. Turning back was only choice. The numbness started to hover over my whole body as soon as I realized, this is not some fantasy world.

Run. My heart scream.

Without looking back. I started to run over the dead living corpses, covered in a thick sticky blood.

"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME", I scream my head out.

There were no Knights in armour to save me. All those freaking TV dramas and novels. Whole my life was a lie.

I was surrounded by the dead living creatures that remind me of Resident Evil. The only thing I can do was wait for everything to turn pitch black.

**

"waku!" , someone was shouting.

Who

"Haglei" , I heard someone speaking foreign language.

The bright rays falling down from the canopy brought my eyelids to open a bit. I was completely surrounded by two young boys in their teenager. One being so close to my face that I can count his thick eyelashes. His baby looking face reminds me of cabbage patch. Big brown shiny eyes and chubby round face. The other one, standing distant from me. His eyes never showing interest but a look of disgust. His menacing aura was enough to kill me.

When they saw me waking up. The baby face boy looks excited as he tried to come near to me but he was being pulled away by that ignorant brat ,who looks terrified, already in protective position. I tried to have a friendly conversation yet shown hostility towards me. What did I do?

I looked around. The place seems unfamiliar.

Few minutes passed. It was a relief that there were no sign of the mad corpses. I got stuck with two weird boys. I don't know where am I. As soon as I started to get up.

"Kanpes", the arrogant brat shouted, pointing his sharp sword towards my neck.

What the heck now. I try to wave my hands to calm him. How am I supposed to talk. I don't understand what they were saying. All I know was, if I move one single inch, my throat will be sliced. Thinking about that, I was paralyzed at the spot. Gulping down. I took two small steps backwards and lay down. His stern eyes never leaving me.

"Tazou! Tazou!", the baby boy face yelled at him. His eyes full of tears as he was stopping him from something.

"Alczer..", the arrogant brat drawn his sword slowly away from me.

I took a deep sigh, keenly observing them. They were fighting over something. I guess. Before that arrogant boy took off, he glared me with a murderous look. Murmuring something, maybe it's for me.

I steady my breath and calm myself.

I heard a faint steps moving towards me. No I don't want to die alone. Please save me.

Kneeling before him, appealing for mercy and forgiveness is the only thing.

"O Dear Lord! Have MERCY! MERCY!", I started to chant, not wanting to die. It was cut short by hysterical laughs with tears running down from his face.

"You are hilarious", he threw back his head and let out a laugh. His knees buckled taking him rolled over the ground.

"eh.. Ehhhhhh...", I was in shocked and disbelief. He can speak my language.

"You...", I was puzzled, pointing at him.

Crossing his arms over his stomach in an attempt to catch his breath, he slowly reaches my face.

"Yes, I can understand you. Sorry for before", his breath touching my face, making me shiver and blush. He was too close.

His large brown eyes twinkling, cute little nose, full lips making him look younger than he appears. I was captive by his attractive face that I didn't realize. I was touching his hair. It was soft and silky.

"ahh ..", I pull back my hand. It was an awkward moment.

"ahmm.. What's your name?", he asked in a soft voice. His ear turning red.

"Echan Lannraig", I looked up to see him nervous.

"I am Alczer", he introduced himself.

"Where am I?", I asked him politely.

"This is Kuimanrio Kingdom, right now you are in Dereris, northern most part of the floating kingdom".

I try to recollect myself. Everything seems like a fantasy yet it was real. I wanted to ask so many things. How he can understand me? Where is that freaking old man? How is this place can even exist?

Before I could say anything, I was being sucked by an invisible force. Not again please. I was struggling. Alczer try to grab me, but it was too late.

"It's time to get back.."

I remember that annoying voice. I might kill him now.

"If only I can kick his ***", I mumbled myself.

"With your frail body, you won't be able to touch my strand of hair", he sounded mockingly.

Damn. Someone give me a scissor.

Within next seconds. I was on a same street to my way to home. The time seems stuck as nothing happened here.

"Be prepare yourself. Next time It won't be the same", his serious tone driving me crazy.

Now what. What was awaiting.
