Chapter 30: A New Perspective

Start from the beginning
                                    

Ok just do it, it won't be that bad...

I took a deep breath. My vision blurred as I extended my aura.




...

It's dark. It's night. I could also see in the dark with these new eyes. Scenes are played in front of me. A new perspective. A red tint hovered in my surrounding vision.

Blood and broken limbs spread out in the shadows. I looked down to see my jaws grabbing something. Before we had even stepped foot in the jungle.

...

It's day, a foggy mist. Giant mushrooms replaced trees, the sky a yellow haze.

...

A river. Pink-tinted water rushed through trees as if a tsunami had crashed into the jungle. I'm endlessly floating over the stream unharmed.

...

More bodies— bones on the floor of a dark room. But their deaths were at the hands of someone else.

....

A temple-like building. I floated through walls, unnoticed by guards in red satin clothes. I entered an office. A large man of great power with golden streaks on his arms stood before me. But he was not Riv.

...

I'm floating through the jungle's mist.

...

Ahmad. With two guys. One man shredded on the ground in a violent massacre. The other in vines being carried by him. He's running away. I chase him.

...

The temple. The same darkroom. A sickening pop twitches my ears. More bones.

...

Ahmad again. Much younger. Creating a small fire with his dad.

...

Ahmad again. Arguing with his dad. His vines whipping around. I don't attack. I just watch silently.

...

Ahmad alone. A starry night. He's on his knees. His head was buried in his hands. Wilted flowers surround him.

...

Ahmad, picking flowers. Laying them by a grave...

...

Ahmad, holding his mother's hand as she rushes him through the jungle, away from me. I strike the final blow. 

...

Ahmad, a kid with his parents. Tourists being eaten by a spider beast. His eyes a blank stare.

...

Night. A waterfall behind me.

My vision is clear, no red aura surrounding me. Blood dripped onto the grass. An arm is in my mouth...still connected to someone standing. I look up, it's Riv.

My jaws release. He tells me something. He leans forward. His smile widening. I stare into his eyes unmoving still hovering over the floor...then my body became suppressed, smothered in a thick red aura.

....

Midnight. A temple. An open sky. The blood moon at its peak. I have hands. I am human. A teenage boy. My vision is clear. Scars and cuts decorated my arms. People gathered below me. I'm on a balcony.

I look up to the moon. An open roof, its light surging through me, my chest. A thick amulet presses against my bare skin. My arms raise, my brown skin becoming see-through. My body slowly fading away. But when I look beside me...a woman is seen sitting on a chair, a throne. Her eyes were a memorizing blue, staring into my soul. The only deep blue tint that sparkled so bright, in contrast to the red atmosphere. Her face sad, defeated. On her chest was a necklace...a necklace that looked like mine...
