22 The Survival Has Begun! (1/2)

Naota faces a major crisis.

A creature which looks like an alligator is in front of him with wings on its back.

”WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?!” Naota questions the creature. The creature fiercely attacks Naota. Naota dodges but it tries to attack him again.

(Damn that thing is fast. I need to do something about it.)

Just then Naota realises that he is surrounded by the same creatures.

”I see than...This is what it means like to be surviving in the forest huh? Tsch! I wonder how those people on television survive in such wildlife.” The creature pounces onto Naota. ”NO TIME TO THINK!” Naota says as he jumps and dodges the creature.

Naota hears a roar and then turns behind to look a huge mouth open and ready to eat him. Naota catches onto the mouth and tries to hold it open in hopes of not getting consumed. Just then he sees the group of the same creatures behind him. ”DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!” All the creatures pound onto Naota.

Naota's eyes widen.

(Is this how it's going to end? My new life...Is going to be a short one...I guess....)

Just than a flashing light of a slash of a sword passes by Naota's vision.

Naota's eyes get even wider as he realises that the creature's mouth doesn't feel heavy to him anymore.

He looks at the top of the creature where Tia digging her sword into the creature.

”This is my food, go find your own.” Tia says. ”Your...Food?” Naota questions Tia. ”Didn't you agree to the term that I will not share my food with you and you will have to find your own? As I killed these birdigators, they are my food.” Tia says as she begins to cut the creature she called birdigator.

”I see...I understand...” Naota says with a sad but cold face. Naota wanders around the forest all day trying to find food but he couldn't.

Its night and Naota sleeps under a tree with the rain pouring down heavily.

(Life isn't easy when it's about survival)

At the castle of Bluemoon,

Rochel looks out of the window and looks at the half moon. ”I have heard stories about a hero being born once every time the moon shines blue...That is why, this city is called Bluemoon.” Rochel says with a sad smile.

”That is true...But that is now a legend, there hasn't been a single Bluemoon since I was born...And since I was tricked into giving away my position, the city of Bluemoon became from the city of heroes to a city of poverty, prostitution and slavery.” Adana says sitting down on the bed in the same room.

”I wonder...I wonder if there will ever be a Bluemoon ever again.” Adana says with a disappointed face. ”Me too...” Rochel says with a sad smile.

The next day begins,

The day in the forest is very clear.

Tia waits for Naota in the middle of the forest which is visible from any point. Naota reaches there with his clothes all wet.
