311 Little Paradise (1/2)

”Alright girl. That's enough, I'll take it from here.”
Raven patted Venus' head as he arrived beside her. The Albino Snake hissed and nodded like a human before stopping on its tracks and watching its father do the hard work.
Step by step, he moved closer to the location of their troubles - which are a stacked debris of rocks and trees. These things blocked their way and what's behind them is an important road that Raven wanted to take. At first, Venus was trying to clear them by herself. However, its taking a long time so Raven decided to do it instead.
He spread his consciousness around him, his vision penetrated and searched for the most ideal spot to make an entrance. After finding it, he walked towards the spot and paused.
Raven planted one foot forward and clenched his hand. Concentrating a dense yet controlled amount of Chaos Force plus his laws, he inhaled sharply and sent the fist forward.
An muffled explosion sound occurred followed by shattering sounds. Webs of cracks appeared and spread in front of him. An intense rumbling followed that, then the debris shook and a hole he could fit in was made.
”Come.” Raven told Venus. She then moved and wrapped herself around his neck while transforming into a white scarf.
Raven went inside and started walking. The ground beneath him was uneven but he could manage. When he heard some rumbling behind him, he frowned and kicked up his speed. He dashed like a like an arrow, leaving the wind whistling on his wake.
It didn't take long before he saw the other side. Hearing some more intense rumbling above him, Raven clicked his tongue and pushed his speed to the maximum.
He exited the tunnel like a bolt of lightning, just in time before the tunnel he made collapse. Raven sighed in relief and continued on his way.
What's on the other side of the fallen debris, is a lush and vivid garden filled with rich vegetation. Trees were filled with fruits and flowers bloomed beautifully, each blade of grass swayed gently with the wind. The air was fresher here compared outside, it also soothes the fatigue out of Raven specially after travelling non-stop.
No too far away from them, there is a clear stream of water which seems to be sparkling because of sunlight reflecting on its surface. One could also see some non-aggressive animals at a distance. Although they were wary about the commotion and seemed to be afraid of Raven, all they did was to run away.
Raven smiled and calmly walked forward. Not too far away from where he was, a humble hut. He walked towards it and knocked. He did this three times with varying intervals. After that, he pushed the door open and walked inside like he owned the place.
Sitting on one of the chairs available, he looked inside the simple hut and smiled as memories came rushing in.
”My little paradise.” He murmured.
He had no idea how this place turned out to be like this. In fact, he wondered about it for a long time but had no answer. Nevertheless, this became a memorable place to him due to how he ended up here in his past.
Raven was close to being dead when he ended up here. He got into a huge battle against beast which lasted for five days and nights. His body was riddled with cuts and bruises. He lost so much blood and was barely awake. Raven was only moving through sheer will and his instincts to survive.
The last thing he remembered back then, was being picked up by a massive flaming bird. But before he ended up as a meal to its hatchlings, he fell into a hollowed mountain and ended up here.
He woke up extremely weak, and for a while he refused to believe that this place was safe. After witnessing the harsh horrors of the wilderness, he just couldn't bring himself to believe that there are no potential dangers here. But after he recovered and combed the whole place, he saw nothing that could threaten him.
