Stray Field chapter 4: Declaration of war
Thretleis...
A figure shrouded in black asked.
You may be asking "what is that". It is a word, there answer solved?
No?
Well... to me its more like home?
A hall of a hundred stories, a mansion of fairy tales, and my home...
The figure of the dark then disappeared into thin air.
...
Fwooosssshhhhhhhhh...
The sounds of thousands of trees echoed in the forest, second by second the darkness on the trunks became encapsulated by sunlight.
However the trees weren't the only things brightened by the dawn of day, beyond the horizon was a gigantic manor engrossed of splendorous golden statues of maidens atop of its shiny copper roof and smooth white walls.
The manor was so huge that it can house atleast 500 people. Through its long corridors filled with various paintings, pottery, and furniture was a wooden door with a silver nameplate that wrote...
CAJEISS...
Creeeaaaakk...
The door opened by the breeze. From inside the room was a huge bed covered in silky red cloth and countless other miscellainous items. Even though there were various objects around, the room was still clean.
In the illustrious pure white blanket, a hand clenching the blanket roughly.
"Ggggguuuuuuuuhhhhhhaaa"
A brown-haired boy wearing color blue pajamas groaned.
The boy then stood up from the bed and put his hand forward and his mouth opened a bit.
He tightened his palm into a fist and said...
"Ruvmant, utter thy dreams forthcoming!"
Arrays of bright lights glimmered within his hands as he closed his eyes.
Flashes of various images were embedded upon his mind...
He put his hand down and faced the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He repeatedly hammered his head on the wall until he eventually stopped.
"That was one of a cringe ass dream". Cajeiss said all the while snorting.
'My dream stopped the moment I meet Klinya, Jyutan's adeirserd, and the transformation of a girl'. He thought as if he was used to it.
Then Cajeiss kept continuing.
"Klinya is a red flag, an encounter with Jyutan and a new identity is my future?". He spoke.
At that moment wher Cajeiss was processing his thoughts, he heard a sound from the window outside of the room.
"—jeiss"
Cajeiss walked towards the window and opened it...
The next second a reflection of a rock appeared on his eyes.
Bbbbbuuuuuuuu!!!!
'Shit! This was not in the dream!'. Cajeiss complained while grovelling on the floor.
'But I need to stand up'. He then rose up while his legs were shaking like he was about to piss.
"Cajeiss!". The boy of pure yellow angelic hair with a beautiful face yelled
"Wait I'm coming down". Cajeiss then started walking, squinting his eyes like an idiot who got hit by a rock. Oh wait he was!
...
From within the corridors, the sun was refracting its rays of gold onto the glass showering Cajeiss with light.
"Charden must be asking me to join them on finding uncle". Touching his chin, Cajeiss thought.
'But Charden will also awaken his viajlunce if that event were to be replicated. However, there is also the unknown factor Klinya. The dream stopped the moment I met her so that must mean—'
...
Clap!
"Sorry Charden but I don't think I should join". Cajeiss whom was bowing his head down apologized.
"But Cajeiss are you sure you don't want to come with us? Plus I haven't even told you the plan?". Charden who was desperate to invite his brother.
"Just go without me". Cajeiss said without raising his head.
"Fine". Then Charden and his sisters left towards the forest.
Cajeiss looked up at the sky with a face of relief, but that relief quickly turned to pain.
"Bllleeeeeuuuuurrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!!!"
He coughed up absurd amounts of blood that stained the grass around him into crimson red.
'Damn Juice!'. Cajeiss shouted in his mind. (Juice aka Jaeuvernism)
He stopped coughing blood. However his nose began continously bleeding severely.
"Shit! I have no choice!". Cajeiss thrusted his hand into his chest.
"Revmant, integrity!". His nose then stopped bleeding completely the next second.
'Safe, thanks to revmant'. As he repeatedly gasped for air.
"Okay, now that their gone, I need to leave before uncle's viajlunce gets used". Cajeiss started running while limping.
...
Somewhere in the middle of the lushious forest.
Kkkkkkkkkkhhhhh!!!!!!!!
"Oof! My spine broke". As Cajeiss fell down
'Okay now time to proceed to the plan'
Cajeiss took out some rags from the bag on his back laid back on a tree.
"Now two more days until Jyutan arrives"
'What could possibly go wrong—'. Just then strange voices communicated from behind the tree Cajeiss was on.
"When are we gonna initiate the explosion, your excellency?". A familiar voice was what sounded from the somewhat mysterious person.
Cajeiss took a peek at the ominous talker lurking at the back of the tree.
'!!!'
Cloak of bloody red, a blue serpent masked of ugly grotesque facial features and silver armor that reeks of danger from just the surface.
'The edgelord— I mean dangerous man!'. Cajeiss screamed in terror on his mind with shaking legs.
"We are to attack in two days, for now prepare the explosives and the weaponry". The edgelord said with a low monotone voice.
The grass suddenly rustled
"Hmm?". The edgelord noticed the grass and came near it ready to draw his sword.
'Shit! It was not me it was the air!'. But would the edgelord forgive him if he heard the conversation?
Tttsssshhhhiiiiinnnggggg!!!!!!!!
A sword was latched onto the trunk.
"Mr. Drunkard are you awake?"
Was what he said before light swallowed Cajeiss.
...
That was the future that was promised to me, my adventure, happiness, and the way I live.
Fun...
Laughs...
Danger...
Sounds like you want to be a hero in dream.
But...
A dream is just a dream, no better way to describe it.
Yes, I wanted to live with the power to read the future through dreams.
But was it fun?
.
.
.
No!
...
In the real world, each beauty has an ugly side.
The true night of 57.067...
"Good night father". Qwallrei said while dashing towards her room.
"Wait! Qwallrei, you might fall". Charden said while following his sisters
"Hmph!, I'm going to my room". Klinya sneered.
And Linette disappeared without saying anything.
"Guess I'm going to my room". Cajeiss started walking to his room.
'Wait, why is my door open?'. He peeked through the gap of the door frame.
"Nothing?"
He started walking inside the room.
Inside the room, he saw beyond the window was a very pretty moon.
Cajeiss started walking towards the moonlight...
Crrrrccckkkkkkk!!!!!
Step. The walls crack
Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Step. Floor starts burning
Kkkhhhhhhhh
Step. The silver mirror starts fidgeting
And the final step.
...
"No!"
Screamed, a boy who looked like he was in his teenage years stood up from a tree.
'6 years ago...'
'I wish'
He stretched his arms and picked up a wooden cane.
His brown hair dazzled in the moonlight, skin bruised with hundreds of scars as if the flesh was about to tear off, insanely fragile muscles that could pop any second, and the eyes of a man who lost everything.
The strange boy then held the cane and threw it at the tree branch.
Ftttsssshhhhh...
Chhhllllnnnnngggg!!!!
A bag dropped from the leaves of the tree.
He picked it up and found a black helmet with purple stripes.
The helmet glimmered in the light of night, although it had only so much special qualities to it. He touched the helmet before placing it back he started walking away.
...
Step...
Step...
Walking on a lonely journey was a boy wearing cheap cloth sewn together. Holding a cane, he traversed rocks with strange engravings. Each step he took was filled with emptiness yet so careful, each breath he took was cold but struggled for hope.
Step...
Step...
Step...
Light brightened at his hair, it gleamed of inner majesty from within.
"Seeing this just calms my mind down". He sighed of happiness at the sight infront of him...
The landscape was like thousands of wonders in a small picture.
A black obelisk with pink luscious flowers , hundreds of dents, cracks that disrupt its smooth surface and somehow more cracks which shows how long it has been standing there as a pillar for the trees below. Beneath the height of the obelisk, were trees that flourish with blue flowers that exude pink colored air, which flew above the leaves. Beyond it, the breeze of the sea flew like a dormant storm was about to rampage.
However atop the sea was a gigantic floating cube, the corners turns and turns, the sides mismatch themselves like an automatic puzzle. Purple light came from within and drops red liquid into the water.
The male figure then descended from the moutain with warm breaths.
"Time to go back to Kleimstine". The boy said to himself
...
"It feels just like yesterday". A figure with brown curly hair emerged from the vegetation.
"Good morning Cajeiss". A gatekeeper clad in black mechanical armor greeted the senior infront of her.
"Greetings, miss Phien". Cajeiss said with a pleasant smile.
He then entered through the city gate to enter the grand city Kleimstine.
Near the entrance were hundreds of various stalls full of merchandise, food and weaponry. Farther from the entrance were huge houses filled with luxurious items that can be seen through the window fancy clothes worn by the rich nobility.
Cajeiss then entered the bar beside a tailory.
Unlike the outside of the pub which seemed not impressive, the inside however was far from regular. There were thousands of wine glasses used to refract light from glowing rocks like a disco.
"Oy, nice seeing you mr. Cajeiss". A young girl greeted him.
"Hi little Kyam". He smiled at the girl.
He started walking towards a table with number 19 on top of it. He sat on the sofa and stared blankly at his right hand which
'Its been 3 years since I left the manor, but was it the good decision?'. He then had short flashes of memories ran onto his mind.
'It wasn't just a good choice, but the most necessary'. Multiple emotions stirred on his mind. Anger, disgust and...
His eyes started to distort...
That emotion was...
"Sir Cajeiss here's the usual". Kyam said cheerfully while handing Cajeiss food.
"Thanks". He was one of the bar's usual customer, to the point they know what he orders according to his mood.
From faraway at the chef's kitchen.
"Yes... subarashi mr. Cajeiss keep eating here, I need an amazing son-in-law in the near future". While drooling his mouth a middle-aged man stared at the waitress and Cajeiss talking.
...
After eating, he left from the bar and arrived at the doorstep of the tailory next to the bar. He rung the doorbells and went inside, lanterns were floating with beautiful rose red patterns.
"Good evening Cajeiss". Said a man who wore a white shirt with overhauls holding a needle.
"Good eve to you too mr. Rythan". Cajeiss said while bowing as a show of respect.
"This is kind of sudden but...". Rythan put a serious expression before countinuing.
"How are the preparations?"
"They're more than enough, however it depends on how we execute it". Cajeiss replied while facing his head down.
"Go on, no need to be so insecure"
"After all, this is for the future you entrusted with me". Rythan claimed.
"Yes, for the future I saw years ago"
...
'Where am I?!'. Cajeiss shuttered
"Aren't you me?". The voice came from another Cajeiss
'Huh'
Cajeiss then looked all around him and to his surprise...
'There are hundreds of me?!'
Cajeiss here, Cajeiss there, Cajeiss everywhere. A black-skinned Cajeiss, a Cajeiss with one eye, female versions, slightly older versions and much, much more.
"Greetings my sons and daughters". The words came from none other than...
'Father?!'. All the Cajeiss's shocked in their minds.
"The time we have is limited, so I will just say this..."
"In the next 6 years, all of you are forced to be in a war, a war of your existence"
'What?!?!?!'. The words their father said shocked them all. And then the same light started swallowing them.
"However, before the war you are to prepare anything essential to your survival"
"You will survive in new and harsh environment, survive and I wish you all good luck.
Some of the Cajeiss's tried to ask a question but they all disappeared before asking the father.
...
'The time is ne—'. Before Cajeiss finished speaking, a ray of light swallowed him before he finished speaking.
"CAJEISS!!!". Rythan screamed at the bottom of his throat.
...
"So we are now starting the war?". Smooth dark skin and black bangs became one, with the blessing of sunlight. The trees stood tall yet so fragile, the breeze blew some of the healthy green leaves.
Her purple eyes had the number 62 written to it. Symbolized that she's the Cajeiss no. 62, wearing a white blouse with blue chokers and a long red skirt.
[Name: Cajeiss Ktamina]
{Jaeuvernism: Astral spectator}
"WHAT THE HELL!!!"
"I was so prepared but where's my stuff?!". 62 growled loudly but no one was there to hear it.
"It was literally right next to me!!!"
She kept stomping the ground multiple times right before she calmed down.
"Okay, its fine because survival is my upmost prio—". Before she finished speaking, a bullet flew infron of her eyes and took down a tree.
'WHAT THE HELL?!!?!?!'
"SHIT!!! I hate stupid plot armor". An adult man's voice echoed from afar.
'This sounds totally dangerous'. And then 62, ran like a chicken who got its head cut off.
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Rapid gunfire was the only sound that can be heard at the forest. Its multitude of frightening charges of death penetrates trees in each shot like a swordfish. A speedy silhouette nonchalantly dodges all the bullets in succession of not getting hit once, steps, slides, jumps were all perfect and graceful. However those fancy movements were not instincts but rather...
"Calculated as planned". 62 gasped for air
They were stepping stones to acheive the maximum potential of her hidden card, viajlunce: Astral spectator. Every single projectile were all predicted before they were even fired.
Miss...
Miss...
Miss...
Not even a graze on her skin, as all the bullets miss without touching the surface of her skin. The capabilities of astral spectator is overwhelming in terms of support. However, to dodge those amounts of bullets were done by 62 herself.
'The enemy is a sniper, approximetly 2 kilometers infront of me'
'The magazine can load upto 6 bullets'
She kept dodging the bullets with amazing speed whilst running towards the source of the gunfire. Another barrage started then started another barrage after a short ceasefire. Those chains of attacks confirmed only 6 bullets can be fired in each arrays of attacks.
'6 bullet interval, a 1 1 2 2 firing pattern and a destructive power each shot'
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
'1'
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
'2'
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
'3'
As 62 got even closer at the sniper, everything changed when a thick dense fog suddenly surrounded her on a radius of 3 kilometers. She tried to escape the fog, however it proved useless as the fog kept following her.
Ppppppuuuuuttttttssssooooooo!!!!!!!!!
"Gggyyyyyyuuuuukkkkk!!!!". 62 groaned in pain
A bullet pierced her thigh before she could have a time to think. In response to the attack, she quickly laid down on the grass to cover from the air cutting bullets.
'Dammit!'
62 then stood up while shaking her legs from pain, her red skirt became redder. Unbeknownst to her, a female was walking towards her. The stranger then squished 62's cheeks before forcing her down.
"Huff...huff...". As the fog dispersed the stranger was another girl with long luscious blue hair gasping for air. She wore a brown tunic and tight blue leggings.

(Viajlunce:
1. Volley
2. None
"Looks like I found a new toy". 176 said while licking her lips, caressing the unconcious 62's thigh.
...
