Unexpected

Prologue: Did We Die Already?

I had a dream, literally, about a day where me and two of my friends was riding a giant grey cat.

This dream is something that I and a close friend was talking about for quite a while, and until this very day, I still remember the fun I had while expressing that dream to her.

Using written words, I was able to express my thoughts completely to her and she surprisingly enjoyed it. So I made this book dedicated for her and for myself to further explore my dreams and to continue or expand the dreams I had and will continue to have in the future.

This book is heavily inspired by a dream and by a friend, so yeah orayt.

The prologue is the dream I had entirely. It had some modifications but it still has its essence. The chapters are how I imagined how things happen before the dream, and the end chapters is what I think what would've happened if that dream continued.

This book is made with fantasies inside my head, although it contains some real life situations, this is still not to be taken seriously. However, feel free to enjoy it to your heart's content.

It was a somewhat cold afternoon, the place is foggy.

We are waiting for her beside a ginormous wall. Now that I'm thinking about it, "why the crap is there a giant ass wall in the middle of the foggy fields?" I asked myself rhetorically.

Her servant, Edward Anorman, is patiently waiting for her beside Spod. "Who is Spod?" You ask. Well, she's nothing special, she's just a lion sized cat, which is double the size of a lion by the way, whom we've been riding for the past week. So far, she's been a useful entity and comrade in our journey.

At last, Nicole is finally back. "Sorry, there were "problems" in the procedure", She says while laughing shyly".

"It's alright" I said, "Let's keep moving, the sooner we get there, the sooner I can go home."

We quickly packed our things and went on Spod's back, and we moved towards the sun at a decent speed. We can't even see the sun, but we can see a ball of light behind the clouds, so we assumed that's the sun.

"So, do you like bread?" Nicole asked, "Time flies doesn't it? It was just afternoon moments ago, now it's almost night time, what the heck?"

I was drinking water that I got from a stream earlier. "HAHAHAHSHSHAGA", I said after I spilled my drink from my mouth all over Spod's head. "What the hell? That was so random, I don't know why I'm laughing so much about it, ugh"

Spod did the expression where-in both her eyes and mouth is a line (-_-)

Nicole was surprised, "What", she said. "LOL, I did not even realize that I said the bread part, wth? Anyway, we should not get distracted from our main goal." Nicole said while shifting from laughing hard to serious face, "Keep your eyes open, don't let your guards down, you all know what happens when we do". "Yeah, sure", I replied with a casual face.

"lol" Edward replied randomly.

Just a few moments later, we noticed the sun getting somewhat closer, and not just closer-- it's multiplying! From one ball of light to three. It's like the sun, but with two smaller ones beside it.

We stopped for a bit. We noticed the ground shaking rapidly but softly. The ground's kinda vibrating harder and harder every minute. It's like a billion horses are running toward us.

As we look into the midst of the fog, we noticed running creatures with two legs, on top of them we do not know. It seems like a cloak that's holding a torch... All of us were confused, even Spod.

At first they were just five or six, but no, there's a whole bunch of them. I'd estimate a total of thirty of 'em to be visible, but I'm pretty sure there's more inside the thick mist.

We started going backwards, back to where we came. Spod ran as fast as a Lambo. I had no idea Spod can run this fast.

The creatures are getting closer, they're starting to catch up, and it's probably because Spod is carrying three people, together with supplies for survival that is slowing her down. But still, running this fast while carrying this much weight is monumental.

I also noticed that the creatures looked like ugly ostriches, it did not have feather, but had raptor-like skin instead. They look creepy as hell dude, I MEAN LIKE CREEPY.

Edward started to shoot arrows with his bow to at least slow some of the ostrich-raptor-cloak-torch-crap thingy that was trying to probably get us, especially Nicole.

We left the road we were running on and went off-road into the forest where there are LOTS of trees that we can use to maybe lose the ORCT crap chuchu.

"I think we lost the-", I said when suddenly, Spod slew down until Edward realizes that one orct has bitten Spod's left leg at the back.

Spod tumbled as we all tumbled with her. I used the malapen to slice off the orct's head and finally end the aggressive being.

For a moment, there was silence. But I sensed more of them surrounding us. I saw Spod laying down, struggling to move, I knew she was hurt so bad.

Edward is trying to get up with his sword but failed, he stayed at his knee, trying to get up.

I was the only one who can fight. I was starting to lose hope, but then I remembered. I closed my eyes and saw a glimpse of memory of words saying, "tiwala lang".

I opened my eyes and saw an angel-like being, filled with light, eyes shining bright, and small hands showing might.

As the orcts jumped towards us, time slowed down, time slowed down like it stopped. I can see the angel-like creature and later realized, that she was Nicole. I had no idea that such being existed.

I felt scrambled and confused inside as she says, "remember me", she said with a kawaii face. Her aura felt different, she looks exactly like Nicole but, I don't feel the same Nicole I used to know. She seems like a completely different person now.

She used some kind of power, extraordinary power, power beyond imagination...

and it all vanished.

Everything! The forest, the orcts, the random ass wall, everyone I knew, and the darkness that the world was filled within. Everything that's left was the light, shining at my face, it didn't look like any figure like Nicole at all anymore. All I can see now is the light, getting brighter and brighter each time I breathe.

I did not know what to feel nor to do. "I can't move", I told myself. "Did I fail my mission? Am I dead? Is this the end? Already?"

It felt cold inside as I see memories flashing before my eyes. Memories that'll never be forgotten.

But the memories started to fade away, all the mixed emotions I was feeling is drifting apart. Now I feel nothing but disappointment.

Everything that I have ever done, gone.

I closed my eyes hoping that things will be alright, like it always does as I say, "you will be remembered".
