New Home Part 4

Walking towards the massive gate Little Soul couldn't help but see his life flash before his eyes. It was so short and so pathetic, he didn't even get to do anything and now he was going to be captured, killed, or experimented on. He had no idea what these people would do to something like him.

When he finally set one foot on the brick road and cross through the gate little soul could feel something crawling all over his wrinkled skin. It made him shiver it was like thousands of little ants marching around on him.

He took each step with a heavy heart awaiting to be thrown on the floor and captured at any moment. The feeling of ants marching on his skin change to that wiggling worms that started to burrow deep inside him. He could not stop it they went further and further inside his body it was quite unsettling.

He could feel whatever was inside him twist and turn behind his eyes, in his brain making their way towards his Crystal core. The worms began surrounding his core but, they didn't enter it he didn't know why but it didn't change the fact that they already invaded his body inspecting every inch of him even his soul.

He could see what was in there next to him and didn't like what he was seeing one bit. it was a form of energy but, it was strong and mysterious. He couldn't understand why but it gave off the feeling of reading old manuscripts with the wonder of being inside of an Egyptian tomb.

The energy that went through his soul made him feel cold far colder than what that blue cicada made him feel. To this stream of energy, he was completely naked no piece of clothing could possibly conceal himself or his secrets.

"Alright, you can be on your way then".The buff guard next to Little Soul stated.

"What?" shocked out of his stupor by the guard's remark little soul finally realize he had already crossed through the massive gate.

"How do I not get caught? Is the gate broken or something? I am literally a walking patchwork of different creatures and a dead old man. How could that thing possibly consider me someone born in this world or not the slightest bit suspicious". Shocked by this development Little Soul completely forgot to answer the guard when he spoke.

The guard seeing the old man's blank look decided to promptly leave and get back to is work not wanting to deal with him anymore since he was apparently clean.

" I got in ... woohoo yeah" so happy about passing through the gate without getting caught little soul started to dance a little. The other people passing by probably avoided the deranged old man doing a jig in the middle of the road.

Finally inside, Little Soul could have a good look at the city on the other side of the wall. Taking in a deep breath he got a good look at the city around him and his new home. If he had to describe it all in one word it would have to be poor.

It's wasn't what he was quite expecting but at least the city wasn't entirely shit. Before he used to live in a high tech advanced world which was all fairly polished so in his mind coming here is kind of a step down for him.

All the streets have been paved with a gray brick they're were even brick houses and factories which was great. meaning these people have already been through or currently going through the Industrial Revolution. There were cars on the road not entirely like what he saw in his world they had a similar appearance but we're more old-timey like the earlier models in the 1920s.

There weren't many of them driving around only about two or three in the area after a couple of minutes. Mostly he saw horse-drawn carriages or hand-pulled carts.

The air was filled with smog from the factories nearby making Little Soul regret taking in that deep breath. Behind him, he could easily see the Colossal wall and the many homes built inside protruding out of it. There were so many he couldn't count them all there are so many different kinds of pipes, smoke, and steam coming out rising in the air the houses have filled the entirety of the wall that expanded on for miles into the distance.

He could see people through the windows that were on the wall. Somewhere out on their makeshift balcony having a good time braiding their hair, doing laundry, or just messing around.

"My God that's got to be a safety risk or something". There was a sea of people on the streets the men were wearing suits or something more casual like a white shirt and tweed pants while the woman wore simple long skirts and a top or a nice dress. Not many of them were heading towards Seekers Gate though. Little Soul wouldn't blame them its dangerous as all hell out there.

Little Soul was being pushed and shoved by all the people around him as he tried to explore the city. "let's see the walls massive, the city's super big and filthy, towns probably infested with rats too, everyone in town is a dick ... hmm yup, just like the cuties back on my planet. This place reminds me of New York in all its glory".

laughing loudly and slapping his thigh the weird old man on the street started catching people's attention and making people want to avoid him even more.

Stretched and yawning Little Soul wanted to get some sleep. He had not slept once since he got here he did not need to sleep as a soul and it was too dangerous to sleep in that forest. He had no idea why that old man even bothered bringing a sleeping bag.

"I guess it's time for me to go home and get some sleep". Realizing the stupidity in his sentence the old man can only curse out loud "shit where does this old man live?".

looking up the little soul could see the sun beginning to go down. He had spent most of the day running away from Orcs and walking here now after all he's been through he has no idea where he lives.

"No please Sun, I beg of you don't go down I don't even know where I live yet. Knowing his attempts of pleading with the Sun were futile Little Soul became a bit depressed because now he's going to have to sleep on the streets in the cold. "Why does the world hate nice people?".
