A Bad Dream
1016 Words
Lily hugs me tightly and she looks a little worried, "Arias? are you okay...I heard from Greg that something happen."
There no way I'm telling Lily that someone had died on my quest as Lily still a child. "Greg was just playing with you...there's nothing happen at all." I then approach Greg and tell him not to spread told Lily something that ain't good for her. Greg understands my intention as he apologizes for his action.
Lily and I then left the castle and went back to the inn. I remember that I had to cancel our sightseeing with Lily a few days ago and I ask Lily whether she wants to go to the places that we aren't able to visit.
Surprisingly, Lily refuse my offer and I feel weird why she doesn't want to go. I ask her why and she replies that Xaniela already took her there while I'm gone for my quest.
"So what do you want to do today?" I ask her because I don't know what to do next in this kingdom.
"I do not know...I'm hungry."
"How about we order some food and eat while we think about what should we do next."
"Okay"
I then order some food and the innkeeper ask me to wait for a while he was preparing our food. I then began to think about what should I do next. I kept thinking until I realize that I had no purpose or goal in this world.
"Sir, this is your food. I hope you enjoy it." The innkeeper places our food on the table.
Lily was eating after the food being served on the table as I still thinking about my goal and purpose.
I realize that maybe I must fight the demon but look at my strength right now, I could die fighting those demons. I also don't want anyone to die in front of me again as I couldn't save them even though I am the chosen player.
"Can I take you food...?" Lily interrupts me while I was thinking too much as I don't even realize what happened.
"Sure but don't take to much of my food, okay." I then began eating my food.
After we finish eating, I told Lily that I just want to rest for this day as I was still tired from my quest. Lily agrees and went to her room as I went to my room too.
I lied in my bed as I kept thinking of my purpose as I gradually close my eyes and fell asleep. While in sleep.
"Is that the player that was always repeating the same quest...Is he crazy?"
"Don't you heard that he fell in love with an NPC..."
"Really...Hahahaha, I guess he is crazy."
I could hear people kept talking about me. I realize that NPC doesn't have feelings but it is wrong to love them. I just want to see her smile, is that wrong. I just wish someday that the NPC would become just like a human being.
Suddenly I feel something isn't right as my surroundings getting darker and something jumped in front of me. It was an Earthen Drake and I could see someone was attacking it. It was a girl, I should help her but my body couldn't move.
"Is this you power human? I guess you should die." A demon was behind me was I able to turn behind. The demon sword pierces to my body as I could see my health bar began to decrease.
I let out a scream as I realized that it was a dream and I was still in my room. I was sweating a lot and I couldn't control my breathing as the dream was so realistic.
I try to calm myself down for a few minutes and head downstairs to get some drink. I then ask the innkeeper to give me some drink but he just stood there like a tree. I feel that something was wrong and I quickly go to Lily's room but suddenly a fire stops me from reaching the room.
As I tried to turn my way back, I realize that I was engulfed in a circle of fire. Suddenly the I was outside the Inn and I saw all the buildings were on fire as a demon appears from the fire.
The demons then attack me with his sharp claw and somehow I block it with my ChocoBanana. The demon attacks me from above and manages to knock me off my feet. The demon then flies over to the inn where I'm staying and begins to attack it. You try to fight back but it is no use.
I run towards the Inn. I could hear screams inside and I can't believe what has happened. The residents of the inn are being eaten alive by demons! They look like they're about to burst their stomachs when one brave soul jumps onto them and stabs the demon with her sword.
I stare upon the brave soul who saved others and realised that it was Lily but older. Suddenly I could feel my face being slap gently and hear some words.
I slowly open my eyes and saw Lily was slapping my face as she said something.
"Wake up! It's already morning and Xaniela is here to see you.."
I look around and saw Xaniela was laughing at me while I'm being slap by Lily. I then realize that it was a dream and quickly open my eyes as Lily slap began to hurt me.
"Lily stop slapping me, I'm already awake." Lily then stop as I get off from my bed. I ask them to wait downstairs as I would like to prepare myself first.
After I finish showering and equip my daily cloth, I head downstairs and sit on the chair with Xaniela and Lily. Xaniela already ordered some food and began to eat our breakfast. I asked Xaniela why she was here.
"Ohh I forgot, The King wanted to see you as he has something to tell you in private."
