57 Trial 2 (1/2)

”Alisha!” Shouted Rainer worried.

It had been several hours since Alisha took part in the trial and she had not yet woken up, but what worried Rainer and the others was that Alisha began trembling and shouting incoherences.

”No! I didn't want to do it!” Shouted Alisha as she frowned and cold sweat pearls flowed through her body.

”I know you will succeed!” Whispered Rainer to Alisha, he could only hold Alisha's hands tightly and pray for her success.

”The more time she spends in the dream, the more difficult it will be to discern reality from illusion...” Said Faust as he looked away from Alisha, he already saw that Alisha had lost all her energy and could never get out from the dream.

”...”

Rainer ignored his comment and tightened his grip.

”So your determination only reached this far ... ”Liann thought as she sat down to meditate, so many hours without a break had drained her energy.

...

While Rainer and the others waited for the trial result, Alisha relived one of her worst memories.

”We must run!” Shouted a crowd as they pointed to the volcano that had erupted.

”...!”

Everyone was in panic and started running!

People's belongings fell down the hill, children tripped and cried in search of their parents, everything was a chaos!

”We have to hurry!” Shouted Alisha's father as he grabbed both of them and used his spiritual energy to increase his speed.

”Aaaaaagh!”

The screams of their neighbors, friends and tribes who evacuated, filled the night with regrets and sorrow...

...

Gasp...gasp...

Kalyn, Alisha's father, gasped in exhaustion, he had consumed all his spiritual energy and could not continue.

”I'm sorry for being so weak, my old wounds won't allow me to continue...” Said Kalyn as he let Fleur and Alisha down.

”Dad!”

”Darling!”

Both held Kalyn as he coughed up blood.

”The lava is approaching, in the face of nature's wrath, we are nothing but ants... but I will not let anyone take away from me what I love most in this life...” Said Kalyn as he took a small box out of his bag, in it was a silver bracelet with a slight glow, a special aura seemed to surround the magical treasure.

”...”

Kalyn looked his wife directly in her eyes and she seemed to understand his message, she turned to Alisha and hugged her.

”Honey, only one person can use this magical treasure at the same time, and we want you to be the first to use it, okay?” Said her mother as she put the bracelet on Alisha's hand.

”...!”

Memories flooded Alisha's mind, she felt this situation had already happened and knew her parents were lying to her.

”No...! Before Alisha shouted, her father triggered the magical treasure and she disappeared.
