Choater 4
Zafira's POV
I woke up with pain in my back scratching the ground, a creature was pulling me while I was still lying on the ground full of stems and leaves of trees.
"Argh" I muttered because this person still wouldn't stop pulling me.
I looked around.
Forest.
That's all I can say where I am
T-teka? What happened !?
All I knew before was I was drowning because of the flood! I thought I was dead.
But how am I now in a place or woodland untainted by the flood that happened before? The leaves and weeds are very dry.
"L-let me go" my voice was hoarse because maybe I drank water earlier.
But when I didn't feel wet in my clothes or hair, I was even more surprised.
What is really going on?
It is impossible that it is heaven because based on what I can see we are in the middle of ... woods?
"She's awake" said a companion of the person pulling me.
My back hurts!
They look like farm people. Maybe I'm not far from Mika's province yet or maybe he still covers it.
Their clothes are old. I think they will hunt because of the bow they are holding.
"Kimo, he's awake." repeated the person next to Kimo who was called by the man who spoke.
"I know. Shut up there. Maybe someone can hear us."
"What are we going to do there?"
"Beautiful woman, the dress looks weird from the ones above. Or maybe one of the waitresses in the palace, who tried to run away. She was just unlucky because we saw it. Hahaha!"
M-it looks like these two have a bad plan for me.
I also did not understand what they said.
What's from the above?
What do they think of me, angel?
Then became a waitress in a palace? I think these two are still on drugs. Then I got another hunt.
"Ahahahaha! It looks like you're planning something good! HAHAHAHA!" Laugh at one.
"Bitawa--!" I would have struggled but they immediately released me because someone blocked them.
After letting go of me, I immediately stood up and shook myself even though my back still hurt. I'm just thankful that no bones were broken.
"What are you doing" an err asked ... they are still cosplaying. Was there a shooting and I got lost here? Those who intercepted were wearing an iron garment, you could say they were a soldier. Soldier? Wtf.
"A-what .. we're just helping this beauty because she's getting lost." He said quickly when he was called Kimo earlier. I know the name because that's what I heard earlier from his partner.
The sight of three ... err ... soldiers hovered over me? I saw the wonder on their faces.
"Why is your attire like that?" Question of a yeah soldier just call me.
"Ahmm" I don't know what to answer because they are still asking why I am wearing this while they are like fools wearing that.
"Mona! Ha..ha .. N-you're just here. I've been looking for you before!"
A woman sighed and promised to run like that. One of his hands was on my knee and one of his hands was on my shoulder.
The two who had been pulling me earlier stepped back and the three soldiers nodded.
"Come on Mona. Let's go home. I'm sorry I left you earlier, I forgot you're not used to being left alone like this." The woman pulled me so I was overwhelmed by what she was doing.
The woman pulled me so I was overwhelmed by what she was doing.
What is he saying? I think I even mistaken Mona for what she was saying.
"Ah what--" the woman cut me off and put her arm around me then whispered, the three soldiers didn't hear that because they were four meters away from us.
"Just come with me (she whispered) Hahaha! Please be patient with my pet! He's still young so we don't know much about what's going on. We're leaving"
What? Wtf?
I think I'm surrounded by crazy people.
The three soldiers just nodded, signaling that we could leave.
I stared at the two men who were pulling me earlier because they caught my eye. I have yet to forgive them for pulling at me. They made me look like a dead animal and dragged me to the ground, didn't they know I had a feeling too.
They just bowed.
"All right. You can leave now. You shouldn't stay long in this forest because there are many evil creatures. You also know it's forbidden to enter the middle of the forest if you want to survive." Promise the soldier.
I first looked at the two who pulled me.
I was pulled away by a woman I did not know and I even heard what the soldier said to the two men.
"You two come with us. You broke a law so you have to accept a punishment."
We were already far away so I was able to speak and ask questions.
"What do you need? Who are you and why are you doing this?" He was walking ahead so I was behind him.
She was walking ahead so I was behind her.
"Thank you and here you are in the kingdom of nemestia castrated."
I felt cold when she said that.
The one who used to seem jolly a while ago is very different from the one she speaks now. Too serious as if not laughing before.
"Hahaha!" I just laughed to entertain myself.
"You come from the world of men." I stopped walking when he mentioned that.
I was horrified and I didn't know why.
W-where am I really?
She also stopped walking when she felt that I could no longer follow her.
"A-what do you mean?" I asked her nervously.
The cold wind is still blowing. It was also getting dark so I was even more horrified especially at the various sounds of animals starting to make noise.
"I see your astonishment. If you want to know, come with me. If you believe, listen to what I will tell you later. And if you don't want to believe me, go ahead and leave and you don't have to come. It's getting late and many wild animals come out every night. "
He continued to walk.
I hugged myself and rolled my eyes again here in the forest.
"Kyaahhmp!" I almost screamed because of the loud howl of the dog, is it a dog? L-wolf! Fortunately, I even covered my mouth with my own hand.
I looked at my companion who was continuing to walk and I didn't even look away, he was still not far from me. So even though I wanted to shout at him to wait for me, I didn't.
Because when I do that, the animals that live in this forest will be even more disturbed.
So I just ran to chase him, even though I'm not used to that. I was able to get close to him but he wasn't even surprised. He seemed to expect me to follow him.
"W-where are we" I asked him weakly.
"You're in Tennessee and you're not in the world of humans. You're in the kingdom of Nemestia." Even though I was confused, I still tried to pay attention.
Suddenly I was grabbed by my head. Fck! Here it is again! My head hurts again, I always forget to check up min. I could not cope with the pain so my vision went dark.
"How do you make sure he comes from the world of humans?"
"Portal"
"Sonya! What portal are you talking about? No one else can enter and exit that portal but the prince and king of Nemestia! Because they are the ones who hold the portal! Even the king of Taraya and Spiro are incapable of entering that portal . "
"Shut up first. He's waking up."
I awoke to the argument of the two voices I heard. I got up and the first thing I looked at was the woman I was with earlier.
I turned my gaze to the man next to him.
They saw my eyebrows raise and ask questions so the man introduced me first.
I'm Celes. "He introduced himself.
"Celes ...?" What's his surname?
The person watching him was surprised. He probably didn't get what I wanted to ask.
"What's your surname?"
His face wrinkled even more.
The woman I was with earlier had a normal facial expression.
"What is he saying Sonya?" Question next to him.
The girl's name is Sonya. Sonya didn't look back at Celes. Sonya just looked at me as if she didn't care.
"Yan." Sonya said briefly.
"What?" Celes's face asked.
"He's asking what your last name is. The last name is also a name that's a suffix of your name." She explained to Celes.
Where on the continent am I really and they don't even know thier last name!
"And that's another proof that he's from the human world. They use a name that's a suffix to their previous name. If that second name has the same thing, that's when you'll know it's your blood relative. They don't care if they have the same first name. What's more important is that they must be the same in your second name to be considered your blood relative. " Sonya explained.
"I do not understand." Celes.
I also do not understand.
"Ahem! N-I'm thirsty. Maybe you don't even have water here."
The man immediately complied and fetched water. . His speed. In front of me he immediately handed me a glass made of stone with only water. When I reached it, I didn't make a mistake that it was made of stone. The weight eh.
"Mona, how are you--" Celes interrupted what she was about to say because of Sonya's speech. Of the two of them, it can be said that Sonya knows more than Celes.
"Her name isn't Mona. I just made it up before. Now the question is, what's your real name?" Sonya.
"Baby, when someone asks you if what your name is, don't say anything, huh?" Mommy said, who adopted me.
"Just taking care son." He kissed my head and dad also came dressed.
I remember mommy telling me over and over again in case someone I didn't know very well asked what my name was.
I saw them both looking at me so I lowered the glass and placed it on a small bamboo table.
"Akira."
Yes. Akira is what I always say and I'm used to that name that I use when someone asks what my name is. I saw the reaction of the two of them whose eyes almost popped out because of what I said.
"A-what? Sonya, it's bad!" Celes's panicked promise.
While Sonya immediately recovered from the shock.
"And how did it go bad?" I asked Celes who was restless. It's like tattoos don't know.
"It's forbidden to have the same name here. K-we need to change your name while no one knows yet!" Celes almost shouting in nervous.
"Calm down Celes! They don't have the same name. Prince Akiro and Akira will never have the same name!"
"Sonya! Even though! It's just a little closer! When the prince finds out we'll be affected!"
"Are you crazy !?" Sonya shouted at Celes.
"Argh! No! You didn't make a mistake! Anyone would be afraid to collide and take the punishment! You just brought our trouble here, Sonya!" Uneasy and even tweaking himself.
I sighed.
Of course I'm just a burden to them.
"Fine. If you're fighting because of me. I can just leave here."
"See you! See you, Sonya! He's speaking a word we can't understand!"
I saw that Sonya was holding back.
I walked out of their small or hut house. I can handle myself. Why would I ask them for help when I know they can't do that because their lives also depend on it.
I don't know where I am. But Sonya says I'm in a place where mortals don't live. If not mortal means immortals.
I even heard that Sonya scolded Celes and it looks like they are really fighting. They no longer noticed me continuing to walk in the middle of the darkness. I don't know why I was able to walk around alone on such a deep night especially and I'm not in the world I'm used to.
