Special Blood: Slyther's

I moved and was alone

The dwarf figure stood firmly in front of the castle with both hands in front of the body while propped up on a stick. The giant snake statue was–or maybe the original snake–berdesis, before returning to its place as before. The dwarf figure raised the stick in front of his body high after that stomped it on the floor hard, so that it gave rise to a crackling sound that filled the entire room of this giant.

Carvings on the floor that turned out to lead to the castle, emit light, and torches in the castle also lit up. My eyes widened when I saw the surrounding scenery that changed instantly. This room is now turned into light when it was dark, the carvings on the floor are also changed to be more amazing because it gives off light.

"I reiterate once again, who are you young people?" the sound of the dwarf figure echoed.

The five of us looked at each other before Justin spoke up. "We are the children of Green Grass Housing. We were told to find a very safe hiding place to hide the descendants of Special Blood."

The dwarf figure fell silent for a moment before finally laughing loosely. "It's been a long time since I've had guests. And now behold, I am the coming of the sons of the Slythers" said the dwarf. "Added there are descendants of Special blood. Has the prophecy finally arrived?" he said the last sentence a little slowly.

"Who are you?" I said.

The dwarf chuckled before saying, "My name is Aulus. I'm the keeper of this place .. and maybe I'll be your guide, too." Aulus laughed again. "Come here, young people."

I took a breath before walking to Aulus with the others. I think Aulus knows something, or maybe he knows everything. I think Aulus is about a thousand years old, and he has occupied this place for a long time with the giant snake.

After me and the others arrived before Aulus, he smiled, then looked at me sharply. "I never thought I'd see the child again with special blood."

"Have you met any Special Blood before? by when? and what was your meeting like?" Justin immediately flooded Aulus with questions.

Aulus grunting. "That's a question I don't want to discuss. It was a dark time." Aulus breathed.

Hearing that makes me creep. Did the child with special blood suffer bad luck? Ah, no! just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. Is the bloodline Special is a curse?

"Be calm, young man" said Aulus to me. "Don't worry. Special blood is not what you think it is. Well. indeed many are targeting children with blood descendants Special, but that's not the worst part." Aulus. It seems he does not want to continue his story.

"It seems difficult for you to get to this place. And you, the boy with the special blood, what's your name?"

"Ee. My name is Killa" I replied nervously.

Aulus grunting. "What a good name. Then, may I see the necklace you're wearing?"

"Eh... Of course." I took off the necklace on my neck and handed it to Aulus.

Aulus clasped the necklace while closing his eyes, he felt something from the necklace. He handed the necklace to me. "Let's not till you get rid of this necklace, Killa."

I'm nodding. What is this necklace special?

Aulus. "I didn't think it would be this fast ... All right, we'll just go straight. Quickly get inside the castle."

Aulus led the way into the castle. Without a second thought we also immediately followed Aulus. In the castle I cringed. Here there is nothing, just an empty room with a torch lit in every corner of the room.

Aulus stood in the middle of the room. "Prepare yourself" Aulus warned. Aulus raised his staff high. The air around it is spinning. At a glance, there was a blue light circling Aulus' wand.

Aulus jerked his staff to the floor, sounding twice as loud as before–when Aulus made the room glow giant. Then suddenly this room trembled violently.

The earthquake! my body staggered unable to maintain balance, as well as the others. However, that was not the case for Aulus, he seemed to have gotten used to this.

This shock only occurred a few seconds before suddenly the floor in front of Aulus went down. I'm not kidding! the floor in front of Aulus jeblos. After that came the stairs on the floor that was jeblos, appearing periodically from the base. I thought this room was empty, and there was a secret underground staircase.

The five of us immediately moved down that underground staircase, Aulus also followed from behind.

We continued down the stairs where the torch on the left right wall lit up as soon as we passed it. My breath hunting down the stairs, it felt so stressful. After a few minutes, we finally reached the bottom of the stairs, where there was a room measuring ten square meters.

In this room there is a carving on each wall. It looks so beautiful, though strange.

"Now, Cilla, you're the one who has to open the way" said Aulus.

I'm shaking. "I really don't know how. Really."

"Use your necklace to open the way. You're the only one who can use it" Aulus explained.

I still don't understand, but I still try. I clasped this square-shaped necklace hanger while closing my eyes, mimicking what Aulus had done before.

I tried to feel this necklace hanger, for a long time, but nothing happened. I feel like this necklace is just an ordinary necklace.

"I can't do it" I said.

Suddenly, the room shook, dust fell from the ceiling. And suddenly a light appeared that dazzled my eyes. I reflexively covered my eyes using my palms while squinting. And when the blinding light went out, I opened my eyes, after which my eyes widened.

I was no longer in a square room with strange carvings, but now I was in a forest I did not recognize.

I looked up at the orange sky, with the clouds fading away. The sun at the west end began to sink. By ourselves. I'm here alone!

This was no longer the mysterious forest behind the Green Grass Housing courtyard, the trees here even the other plants were all normal. The rain was not pouring down, even in this place there was no sign of rain.

For a while I felt at peace as the wind blew and brushed my hair. In this place–despite being alone–I feel very safe and peaceful. This feeling ... a feeling I have never felt in a lifetime.

I spread my eyes around. My feet began to move, I did not know where I was going, but my feet continued to move on their own. I followed the path in this forest.

Bird chirps were heard everywhere, blue-winged butterflies were flying around, I chuckled. I haven't seen a normal scene like this for a long time. But I felt something strange.

I don't know why ... I feel like everything I see in this forest feels fake. Am I dreaming? If so, I hope I don't wake up for a while.

I didn't realize that the rain coat I was wearing didn't exist. When I realized it, I immediately fumbled all over my body, I returned to the place where I first appeared.

I know, even if it's not raining right now, but that rain coat is precious to me. The rain coat is versatile, so there's no way I'm just throwing it away.

I can't find it anywhere. Was that coat left behind when I moved in this place?

My mind's getting messed up.

Why am I in a place like this? Why should it be in a place like this? By himself? What about Justin and the others? Why do I have special blood? Who exactly am I?

My head feels so dizzy. My world feels swirling, my blood is boiling, my breath is wheezing. My stomach .. I'm so hungry!
