Zhang Zian dreamt that he was in a snowy plateau. The sky was gloomy, the chilly wind was sharp as a knife, and he was surrounded by white snow. Beside him were a few people whose silhouettes were fuzzy. They seemed to have lost consciousness, and only he was awake, wrapped tightly by the overwhelming loneliness. He held the steel gun tightly to his chest and would not throw it away, even as he shivered in the coldness.
There was something moving around him, he looked down and found that it was Famous. It was lying alongside those figures, as if trying to warm them up with its own body.
The snow kept falling, piling thicker and thicker on the ground. It seemed that in this world, only two creatures, he and Famous, were alive.
Suddenly, Famous’s ears moved. Sitting up from the lying position, its eyes stared at the snow-covered distant place.
”What's the matter, Famous?” Zhang Zian asked and stretched his ears like Famous. He did not hear any sound, but the wind and snow had brought some smell, like the rancidity emitted from some beasts.
His heart was racing. Holding his steel gun firmly on the snow wall built by his comrades in defense of the enemy's attacks, he starred in the direction of the wind.
Pairs of ghost-fire like green eyes appeared one-by-one in the blizzard. The dark sky had sketched their muscular bodies. They silently stopped beyond the firing range of the steel gun, besieging him in the distance in the shape of a fan. Without taking the risk of attacking, they just needed to trap those humans and wait for them to all freeze to death—a perfect hunting plan. Their leader must have been as cunning as a fox.
His heart was pounding faster, and he glanced back at his injured comrades. In the face of being besieged by the beasts, he could not withstand it for long by himself. All of them were doomed to be devoured by these beasts.
”Famous, run! Only you can escape from this,” he said to Famous.
Famous looked at him, then shook its head. Suddenly it jumped on the snow wall, roaring at the distant beasts as if trying to provoke them! T
he beasts were aggravated. No matter how organized they were, they were beasts after all.
”What are you doing, Famous?” He asked in astonishment.
Famous looked back at him. Its eyes were so pure and calm, without any fear of death.
”Famous wants to be an angel,” Famous said.
Before he could stop it, Famous had jumped off the snow wall, running and barking in the other direction.
Just like iron sand attracted by a magnet, the formations of the beasts became chaotic and messy. Driven by their instincts, innumerable beasts chased after Famous.
”Famous!” He yelled.
...
”Fa… Achoo!” Zhang Zian loudly sneezed and sat up from the bed suddenly.
The sky was not yet completely bright, and the elves in the bedroom were awakened by his sneezing. Eyes of various colors were silently watching him, but fortunately, there had been no ghostfire-like green eyes in his nightmare. Fina's eyes were green, but were shiny like emeralds, completely different from the ghostfire-like green eyes.
