Shit! I don’t got time to move! How the fuck is it so fast?! I got a brief look at the purple markings spreading across is knuckles up to a point where it charred beyond belief as my blood poured into the sand and I laid on my back. Staring at the deep burns on its chest just below the core, that made a nasty scar, much like the one’s across its mouth. Wondering what they could be until I remembered the flames that flickered with the same intense energy as the symbols in its eyes and I couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like she got you too but its a shame you survived.” Throwing everything I have into my hands I pulled my body back and pushed off my hand, barely slipped out of harms way as I rub my bloody hands through my hair and pull out a few purple stands into the palm of my hands. “Well I wasn’t expecting that, I wonder if its dyed. Either way that’s one more mystery uncovered before I meet my end.” I put my hands up to block its slap as it eclipsed me with the shadow of its hand. Brought down with pure power as it struck me, slamming me flat on my back. Looking up at the green clouds all coming together in the sky and it walks over to me shaking the world but I can’t hear a sound… So why not speak? “You wouldn’t be so mad at her if you weren't so weak. You can’t even fight a battle alone. Its that old man’s fault so why should either of us have to atone?” I turned my head to see it reaching out and closing in its hand. Slowly scrapping across the ground to try and trap me inside. But I can’t make it that easy. So I planted my feet and reached for the sky and I leaped into the air through the gap in its hand. Appearing above the plume and right before its eyes as I cocked my hand back and the light in my eyes got swallowed by pure black clouds. “If your gonna go out, you gotta do it loud!” It was an instant collision that felt like it would blow off my hand as pain shot down my back. And a new crack formed in the colossal creatures eye that resonated like a rejection pushing me as it grabbed onto its eyes, nearly stumbling to the ground. “See. Told you I’d get you even if I go dow-” Swinging out its left hand with beastal fury, it drove its fist directly into my face with a glow beat red. Tossing my body so high into the cloud it vanished without a trace as I crossed the sky and came down hard on my back, knocking me out cold no matter how hard I tried to stay awake. I should’ve shut my mouth, I probably could have ran away. … I knew he could swat me like a fly so I wonder why? … But if I let it end like this… how could I look him in the eyes. … “Iramo… Iramo… get up! Open your eyes!” Ugh… what? Where are you? Who’s— uhku… speaking right now? “It’s time to go son, you can’t stay in today.” I opened my eyes to look at him but I couldn’t see his face. He was a tall man, wearing a red robe, over his brown skin. He had on black shorts, with a dark star logo on them. Holding an empty wooden sheath in his hand. He called me son but who is this man? “I know your still sleepy but time waits for no man. Come on, it’s time to get up.” Pulling back the covers of my bed, I looked at my little hands. Waving them around as I admire my brown skin. In utter disbelief because no way this is me? I turned to face the window, for a good look at myself. Seeing my short, purple, hair and my cute little face. I’m even more curious to know what he looks like! Do I got his face? Was this really my life? I pressed my hands into my face, rubbing them up and down my smooth skin and couldn’t help but wonder if I look the same now? Is that even possible after all this time? Or maybe that was a dream and this is really my life? Either way I have to take it all in and enjoy this sight. The scenery of the yellow sky, kissing the clouds and the blue sheets on my bed. I’ve got a big room and a super soft blanket too! It feels so soft and cozy. The opposite of how things have been for me. I hope when I get back to Tetra everyday can be like this. No troubles,
