Meredith let out a scream after that and then she just vanished like a gust of wind.“Meredith? Meredith!” I shouted.I know this is just a dream but I still panic because Meredith just disappeared and now it's like I'm being sucked into a vacuum. There's nothing or anyone here. I could only see a dim and faint light. My body floats aimlessly and I'm all alone. I don't know where Rex went.“Rex!” I shouted.However, my voice echoed throughout this room. Even when I snort, the sound resonates. No matter how small the sound I made, everything sounded resonant because it was the only sound in this place. Damn it! I'm stuck in this unknown place. And I think this place is probably my consciousness.The last time I remember that crazy dream was before falling into the river and hitting my head on a rock. The cold water was stifling and filled my lungs. I was able to see all around me was red before I lost consciousness. Maybe the red color is my blood mixed with river water. Then how do I
“I-I… I need time to digest all of this information,” I said.I'm so confused by everything that's happening right now. Is this reality or a dream? But Rex had the same dream. How could I have been in a coma for seven years? What about the fate of my body in my current era? I'm really confused because all the questions are spinning in my head."We understand, General. Because of that, we will give you time,” said Bil, who had not said anything since earlier. Bil looks old with some of his hair that looks white.“I want to… drink,” I said.If this was a dream, there was no way I could be feeling so thirsty and dry like this, so I was almost certain that this wasn't a dream. Quickly, someone brought me a glass of water. He looked like he was from the moon worshipper tribe because I had never seen him before. I wanted to rise to a sitting position, but I couldn't. It felt like Rex's muscles had turned to tofu. I don't know how they took care of us during this time, but my body felt clea
"I want to see myself," Rex said.“Oh, about that. I'll get you something in a minute so you can take a look at yourself. It must be weird not seeing yourself for seven years,” Nola said as she stood up.She was looking for something from among the piles of objects on the table in the corner of the room. I hope she finds a mirror that is clear enough because I didn't find mirrors in the flaming totem tribe in the past. The Moon Worshiper tribe was more advanced than the flaming totem tribe, so it made sense that they would have mirrors. Sure enough, Nola brought me something like a mirror framed with clay. The shape is irregular, but that doesn't matter.I was a little nervous when I received the mirror from her, and so was Rex. Swallowing hard, I accepted the mirror and immediately saw how Rex looked now. I was surprised because Rex had really turned into a handsome teenager. His hair was blonde as the sun though really long and unkempt. All of his facial features remained the same,
I woke up to the sound of a very loud explosion. My eyes widened and I almost jumped out of my bed. Too bad my body is still too weak to do it. With all my might, I tried to get up to a sitting position. Everyone looks busy outside and I know there must be an attack on our place.I wanted to get up and get out of bed, but I just couldn't.Damn it! I cursed.Then I remembered the bell they provided me beside my bed. I immediately grabbed it and rang it. Someone immediately came to me, she was the woman who had been feeding me food."What happened?" I asked."There's been an attack, General. Their attacks have never been like this before,” the woman replied."What do you mean?" I asked again.“They've never managed to get close to us like this, General. Their attacks have grown in size and the fortifications we have erected are barely able to withstand the attacks," she replied."Can you help me out?" I asked her."Of course, General," the woman replied.I forced my body to move and the
Luckily my esophagus willing to cooperate. I can swallow meat little by little. The more meat that entered my stomach, the more shining the golden tree on the back of my left hand. I'd love to put more meat in at once, but I can't. Even though my mouth and throat are capable of swallowing meat, my stomach still needs time to digest heavy food.I stopped eating for a while and only drank to give Rex's stomach a chance to work. I don't want Rex to have a stomach ache because I will be the one in pain."Are you all right?" asked Mora who suddenly appeared in front of my tent door."Oh, Mora. I'm fine, just trying to recover quickly," I replied."Can I come in?" she asked."Of course," I replied.Mora came into the room and immediately sat down opposite me.“I see that it looks like you are trying hard, but it will hurt your body that just woke up from the coma. You have to give him time,” Mora told me.I took a deep breath.“I don't have time. I can't waste any more time," I replied."I
'Ares, I didn't expect Rais Musi to be here, but his nephew isn't. Did you notice?’ asked Rex suddenly.I just remembered that Aran is nowhere to be seen. Even though he must have grown into an adult since seven years had passed, I should be able to recognize him. However, as far as the eye could see there was neither Aran nor his father. There are two possibilities, they die, or they come with the palace. But if they were with the group defending the capital, how could Rais be here?"I'll find out," I said.I ate even more and every time The Golden Tree's power was replenished, I immediately used it to replenish my weak muscles. The more I do it, the better I feel. In a few moments, I was able to stand up and I could walk my feet without assistance. I will recover to prime condition in no time.A few moments later, I managed to finish all of this beast meat down and I started to feel my body getting better. I tried running on the spot. At first, I struggled, but after trying for a wh
"Yeah, really damn it," said Nola.“Thanks for telling me about this, Nola,” I replied.“Rex, you must understand that once we open the dome, the palace will already be preparing to attack,” said Nola while widening her eyes.“I understand,” I replied.“Their attacks just got bigger and bigger until they almost knocked down all of our defenses. You can imagine what happened when they opened the dome. How many will be the victims? We won't be able to survive,” she said again, as if to convince me not to agree to that.I nodded.“Nola, I am just one person. I'll give my opinion on this, but I can't guarantee the end result," I said.“They must be listening to you, Rex. I know that,” said Nola with great confidence, breaking my words just now.I'm a little surprised because Nola is so sure that my opinion will be heard the most. The weight of the tons was back on my shoulders. I can only nod and agree with whatever she says and hope she leaves here soon.“I risked everything and joined t
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked him. I want to sound less defensive, but I can't seem to pull it off. I sounded like I was accusing Rais Musi of something evil, I could see from his expression. Though, I was just asking. Okay, fine, I do suspect him, but I don't mean to show it.“I just want to talk, General. No other. I don't even have any weapons with me," he replied.I looked him up and down. Indeed, there was nothing that looked dangerous about him now. He had no weapons, no pouch, or anything else. He only wears what is attached to him.'Just listen to what he has to say,' Rex told me."Okay. Let's go now," I replied.I then walked with Rais Musi into the Tribe I knew as the flaming tribe totem, but some things had changed.“We have now changed our name to New Flame Totem Tribe, because we are no longer the same. Khores gave the name," Rais said without me asking.I nodded because in my heart I was still very wary of Rais. He also seemed to realize that, so he led me to
