Into another start

" Shinzuko Akira , you are now given a chance to return to your homeland once you restore the Jade Phoenix gem ! " These where the most hope trimming words vocalized by the Emperor , how did it all start ?

...2 months earlier...

Waking up early in the morning isn't what I often do , but since it's the first day of school I have no other option .

I finished washing up and continued brushing my teeth while singing ' think twice ' my favourite song which contained Confidence boosting lyrics.

Mom was the one driving me today since the bus arrives at 8 :00 PM and I don't wanna be late on the first day of school .

" Hani please ! I have an important meeting today , so do you mind getting in the car ! " said mom as she rushed down the stairs.

" Sure mom , just a sec " I licked the last drops of chocolate from my plate and tossed it in the sink as I rushed outside the house.

I had already locked the door behind me as I walked outside before I entered mom's car .

We begun our journey at 7:07 PM if I remember well . Mom and I where having a chit-chat , we even decided to have dinner tonight at ' Quix plaza "which was one of mom's favourite restaurant.

As the car continued accelerating in a straight direction along a clean road , a bolt of vivid yellow light bumped into our car .

Our car forced by the impact started floating in mid air like a balloon filled with helium. Everything went vague all of a sudden and all I could hear was the sound of my racing heart beat.

" CRASH !!! "

Our Car being pulled by gravity finally reached the ground in a loud crashing sound .the Car was totally flipped over and I wasn't able to move an inch cause my entire body was palarized and aching in pain.

what was that light just now ? was I imagining it?

I could hear some footsteps arrive closer to our car and some people calling the ambulance.

I wasn't severely wounded, but what about mom !! , My seat belt was tightened up so I wasn't able to move forward.

" drip ! drip !! "

it wasn't long until I noticed small droplets of blood leaving the front seat . I was chocked in with tears seeing the blood , " MOM !!! " I yelled , yet no one answered.

Even though my wounds weren't severe , I started getting dizzy and my eyelids got heavy on my eyes .

No !! not now !! please ! Shinzuko don't you dare get unconscious!

I couldn't stop the feeling of dizziness and blacking out. little had I known , I had already passed out moments earlier.

... 1 hour later .....

" e...h ? huh ? "

I started flickering my eyes and forcing them to open . how long was I out ?

As I took a deep breath and raised my head upwards, I found myself in an old crapy stable which seems to be empty. plus I was laying on a large pile of hay .

I lifted my head and back upwards and slowly jumped towards the ground ,even though I had opened my eyes , my vision was a bit blurry . "what on earth is going on !? wasn't I kinda dying from an accident? " I tried to make sense of the situation I was in .

I tip-toed my way to the exit and opened the stable's door gently not to break it cause it seemed to be falling apart already.

" Creeeak !!! "

The door opened in a high and annoying pitch.

I glanced over the area and I think I'm not where I thought I would be .

" Charcoal ! get your Charcoal !! " A man wearing a shirt that looked like a lizards skin , with fuzzy green scarf wrapped around his neck called out .

I was terribly confused by the current situation . Everyone was wearing clothes like in fantasy stories and performing a premitive way of life .

I stepped outside the stable and walked towards the nearest group of people who were carving stone and clay into beautiful arts as they sat on chairs arranged in circles .

" Excuse me , where exactly is this place ? " I tried to communicate with the people politely

These primitive like people stared at me in slight of confusion. A women stood up from her seat and scanned me from top to bottom.

" AAAAAAH !!!! IMPOSTER !! "

The women responded in an abnormal way. I , both startled and confused run out of thier sight and rushed to a hiding spot .

" pant ....pant ..."

Hoping there are no other weird people on my way , I continued walking desperately in order to get help .

" AAH !! please don't !! "

" SHUT THE HELL !!! "

I suddenly came across a tall bulky man harassing an old women as he tightened her with rough ropes . I rushed over to the women without any hesitation and stood between them .

" Stop it !! "

" tsk ! get out of my way kid " He plunged me away with his gigantic hand and I hit the floor with a thud .

I am indeed not strong or confident, but I can't bare watch the innocents suffer or get hurt because of others greeddiness .

I stood up from the ground by pushing my hands against the floor and " BAM !!! " the bulky dude got thrashed by the rock I just threw .

" why you !!? " he groaned

I took a step further as the man stood up from his bending knee position. The old women who was miserably laying on the floor shifted into a thorny demon like creature and run away .

" eek ! "

I gulped as the man froze in frustration. I started running towards another direction as the man yelled " SOLDIERS !! " , I guess that old women was a criminal after all .

I wasn't capable of keeping it up , I can't keep on running like this forever cause it has been over an hour since I started running from the Soldiers and it's getting dark .

wait !! am I considered a criminal in a surreal world , maybe this is all just a bad dream.

I kept trying to wake myself from this agony when a heavy object landed on my back and rolled me mercilessly on the ground .

Soon , it stood on my back and hold me in custody even if I wasn't strong enough to stand up after that painful collision anyways.
