《Brave Soul》2. Impending Doom
Advertisement
I am here, standing in front of the gate made of wooden pole . I don't even think of it is a gate anyway. A simple push can make the entire fence collapse. The sun is not yet up, it was a bit dark.
For the last time, I want to engraved this village in my mind. The memories of the woman who gave birth to me for
the second time.
The entire village is not that big. The radius is roughly about 30 meters. All the houses except the house in the middle which is built like a inn, more like a stone tavern, the surrounding houses are made of woods. It looks like an squatter area.
I took a deep breath, turn away and start to walk to I don't know where.
I've been walking for around 60 minutes, I am just guessing since I don't have a watch with me. The sun is
already up. I can smell the fresh air. The land that I am walking on, looks like a clay. I grab a little portion of clay
and yes it felt like the once from earth. The only difference based on what I observed right now is the vegetation.
Some of the tress have green leaves, blue leaves, red leaves. Some shapes of the leaves are very artistically made.
One of the example is the blue leaves that is shape like a cotton candy and the read leaf is shape like a pork thigh.
Even this world animals are a bit different. It is my first time to see a one foot, blue eyes, yellow colored rabbit with
a horn at the center of his forehead just bashing with the other horned rabbits.
My mother did not really gave me name for unknown reasons. She always called me, squeaky. I think I need to use
my earth's name, Eloah Zophar. Now that I think of it, I don't know my mom's full name! but I do remember her

first name is Jourae, I first heard heard her name from one of her customer shouting her name when he was about
to ejaculate.
I don't know where I am nor I do know where I am going to. My little feet is really tired and I am hungry. I sat down and took the 6 inches bread from my cloth bag and cut it 4 times. I ate 1/4 of the bread and stored the rest. After
I finished eating, I was about to stand up when I heard screaming from the entrance of the forest, 5 meters away
from my location.
I ran towards the side of the forest and hide from the thick bushes. I peeked from the bushes and saw three 6 footer, naked from their waistline up, muscular men in their mid twenties waving a huge two handed sword against and old man wearing a robe. The swords looks like a claymore. The old man draw a tear like symbol in the air using his empty handed hand and when his raised his staff and touched the light blue floating tear symbo. The symbol was immediately absorbed and was siphoned on the tip of his staff in a matter of seconds and 3 huge water ball with the diamater of 3 meters materialized and was fired towards the men. One man was engulfed by the water ball and was imprisoned
inside. The other two men aggressively rush towards the old guy but the old guy draw a 5 2 meters horizontal line
in front of him and shouted LUDONGA LUMLILO! 5 layers of fire erupt from 5 horizontal lines. The men halted
their action since they can't see whats beyond since the fire wall was about 4 meters tall.
The old guy was sweating very hard. He was wheezing. I can even heard several meters away from him. He grab
his chest then he have difficulty in breathing. This old guy has an asthma attack! He became breathless then he

kneel down grabbing his chest. He throw his small cloth bag towards the bushes. The water ball was disrupted,
the fire wall was extinguished. The two men was laughing maniacally and they immediately rushed towards the
old man. With just one swing of both swords the old guy was cut vetically from the posterior of his neck and exited to the anterior of his neck and blood spurt from it and the second man just cut the old guys abdomen transversely, his large intestine and small intestine was also cut in half and the old mans chopped bodies is lying on the pool of his own blood. The third guy that was in the water ball stand up and grabbed the old man's head and place it in a dark colored bag, then he looked towards the bushes where I hide.
I can't breath. I turned around. I hold my breath by covering my nose and mouth. I heard something, a footsteps
coming towards where I hide. My tears is running down as if there is no tomorrow. I don't even know if I squeak
since all I ever heard is my own heartbeat. Few minutes later, a big sword was impaled on the ground just one
feet away from me. My eyes is getting blurry. When I look at where the sword hit, it seems like it hit a yellow
horned rabbit. The rabbit was hit its head was transversely which it separate its skull. Some of its brain particles are
sticking at the edge of the sword.
The sword was withdrawn and the guy groaned and shouted let's go!
Its been several hours since the men left. All of the sudden I heard a growl. I peek again and I saw 3 black bear with three horns on its forehead. The creature standing around 4 meters and ate the old man's remain. I think I am about to vomit but I control myself. The bears just engorges the corpse for a couple of minutes then left. Even the blood was almost licked dry.
I came out from my hiding site and went to the place where the old man die and said, I am sorry that I did not help....
but.... I took a deep breath.... am sorry. I just cry and cry and cry. I let it go, the feeling that you are about to die.
I know for sure that this world is merciless. Kindness is a mere wish by the weak and killing is just
entertainment for the strong.
I asked myself to calmed down and promised myself that I should not end like this old guy. Then I remember that the old
guy threw something to the bushes. I went to the bushes and grab the cloth bag and checked what's inside. The
old guy have 2 tattered journals. One was about a plants and some sort like medicine making, although I can't
read but the picture was giving away the answer. The second books was about symbols, one of the example was the symbols he use during the fight. The total money that I have right now is 200 copper. I got 150 from this old guy and 50
from my late mother.
I release a deep sigh and continue to walk outside the forest. Away from the path from the three men went to after
they grabbed the head. The path have drops of blood coming from the head. When I reached the mouth of the
forest. I saw a smoke about 2 kilometers away from me.
What I need this time is learning how to read and at least knowing the general descrition of this world, then I begin to walk towards the village.
