Wake up call ~~~~

~ ~ ~

When I first woke up in this crazy, magical, cynical, deadly, overwhelming world, I thought that I was just having an hallucination. Like I was on a big high due to the mushroom spores inside the cabin near the lake where I was resting...

Everything that kept happening could not be real! Like the hell I was able to do magic to heal people!! As a doctor, how many times did I wish I could magically save someone life. So of course, I was able to cast spells in this so call drugged dream... 

But now!? 

The past 48 hours has been one of the worst wake up call I ever had!

First part was when Wolf and I were supposed to go and try to get some intel to how to get into the underworld of this city (if we can call it that...) 

He ordered us food... Wolf is really a hungry lad... and he think I have a good appetite as well since he keeps ordering food for me! Surely, it is hard for him to understand that I barely eat to sustain my body! Eating more will just get me to throw up... 

Once the food on the table, Wolf kept on talking toto the owner. He then brought us to a secluded room and then those kids came in... sold for the only purpose of the devilish pleasure of the rich twisted mind... This should not exist... If I were in an imaginary world that I made from scratch, why THIS would still occur!!! ~ This was my first wake up call ~

Then we went to the fighting arena where again I saw what money of twisted mind could buy... I was disgusted once again... ~ I guess this was my second wake up call ~

Then we went to an inn... I was still acting insulted that my companions enjoyed the easy money made in the arena, I went on being grumpy by myself in a creepy room... Little did I know that we would be ambushed by, I am not sure what, deadly silent assassin... that mostly killed everyone, except us...

Not even time to breath once the fight was over, that the pink lady sent her army to get us... without making case of the bloody floor without any injured or dead people around... 

We decided to follow them... My mind had been in a blur after that. I barely remember meeting the pink lady and whatever she said. 

My mind was spiraling the images of Wolf, the kids, the fire, the fighting and the way too many corpses that we left along the way! All my life I fled dangerous situation, and I since my awakening in this world, fleeing was no longer an option... and Wolf, always making me decide our whereabouts. He would then push it until I understood that I was the one that took the decisions... 

Once the meeting was over with the Pinky madwoman, we were giving rooms for the night. I was utterly exhausted... my mind kept on going indefinitely until sleep finally silenced it.

So... I am sure I fell asleep on the balcony of the room they gave me... but strangely I awoke in the middle of the bed, in an extreme, horrible pain around the cursed tattoo. I was holding my arm, hoping it would lessen this shattering feeling. My entire being was shaking. I could barely think of what Wolf was doing to make me feel such torment!

All this suffering was too much to bear, and as a scream of agony left my lips, I felt a power surge go through me. Everything turned out white as if there was a blinding light surrounding me. As swiftly as the pain came, it disappeared as fast! I looked around me, but I could not understand what happened. The pain was gone as if it was never there!

Again, my mind went into a blur, trying to understand what just happened! I ran to Tiberius, seeking answers, protection, and, comforting as well... Comfort and Tiberius, a weird combination yet, it was it! I needed him around to feel safe.

Lily said that our souls where stirred... How can you stir a soul?? And if all four of us had our souls stirred..., why was I the only one that has her hair grow to a length that I could have tumble on them? Well, the questions would have to wait since we were back on the run! Whatever happened to me did not go unnoticed and we had to flee. Though we failed at it... 

We were into two separate cells. One for the guys and the other for us girls. Ironically, I was feeling a discomfort not being in the same cell as Tiberius, but he was not far and Lily was with me, so I drifted back again into sleep until guards, with mechanicals pet, came to pick up Sofia. Again, I barely listened to what was said, but when Sofia was asked to follow them, along with me and Celadon, I started too internally panicked. My eyes went to Tiberius who was also looking at me. As I walked before his cell, he whispered to me to call his name. I kept looking at him while walking away until could no longer see him. 
I felt utterly powerless as Lord Fresco questioned Sofia regarding an ocean crystal, then they took Celadon since she said she was the White Mage and sit and tie her up on a weird scary chair. I felt terrified to what was to come. Unable to say a word, unable to do anything. Fear was all I felt as I saw Celadon slowly being drained by the machine. Her cries finally reached my frozen mind, and I snapped into action ~ The third wake up call, and the most painful one. ~

Celadon was yelling to me to call upon Tiberius. That I had the power to make him come to me. Then I felt on my arm the writing message Tiberius was sending me, but unfortunately, I could not understand what it all meant since I was trying to free Celadon from this torturous chair.

When finally, Tiberius came to view with the other, a brief moment of relief washed over me before I understood that something bad was coming our way.

Taos had become a dragon because of Celadon state. We fought against him, but it only when Tiberius removed his skin and transform into…something, that we finally stood a chance against him.

It was when I was pined on the ground by Taos claw that Tiberius pulled out and threw is skin near my face for me to see. He then subdued the beast; I cannot say how… After a little chat between them he came to pick me up and we all left the dreaded castle on the back of this Abyssal dragon.

I kept looking at Tiberius, or Amun, or whatever is name is. I was not sure who or what he was. But I knew deep down that whatever this creature was, he was the one I was bound too. Strangely enough, I still felt safe in his arms…

All that has happened, the suffering and all, made me understand that it was time for me to stop acting like I was not part of this. Like I did not care for these people. That all of this was just temporary…

This IS my new reality, and I have much to learn about it!

I care for them… All of them… Well, some more than others, but still. They are somewhat my new family, and I will finally act as part of it!
