"Where am I?" I asked myself, looking around. Everything was bright orange colour like a fire was burning around me. I could not detect the smell of the smoke but was able to feel the hotness from the fire.
I brought my hand forward. It was covered with blood, not just my hand; my whole body was covered with blood
I was able to hear voices coming from afar. When I tried to concentrate on the voice, I heard people screaming.
As the smoke cleared out, I saw nothing but bodies all over. Bodies of all gender, old and even bodies of small children, even babies. I couldn't bear to watch it
One thing was for sure, I was in a war of some sort in a city which I was utterly oblivious to
"it's all over."
"This is the end for us, Eric."
I heard the voice of two people, one was a female voice, and the other was a male voice, both of which I was not familiar with.
I looked behind. Both were dressed in a uniform; I couldn't see anyone's faces. It was all white. Like I was in a dream, everything around me felt just as natural. I was even sensing the temperature on my skin
Everything is going to be alright, Eric; it's just a dream
I asserted myself not to panic to reassure my brain to believe that it is in a dream
"I will contact Hank. It is time for us to retreat. It is no longer a battle which we can win."
A battle which we can win. What does she mean? She turned around, and there was a big logo on her back. it was like a mixture of lion and phoenix with phoenix wings spread out

"Eric, you have no idea what you are saying right now" a boy with a scarf around his neck talked about something. Once again, I couldn't see his face
"What did I say?" I tried to speak, but he could not hear me. I couldn't hear my own voice, for god sake
***
"you are nothing but a piece of shit who is trying to become the best shit out there, but know this once a shit, you are always a shit, so just fucking get lost and never show your face again" I was familiar with that voice I couldn't recall where I heard it, but I know that voice
"don't listen to him, Alan" again, it was the voice of the same girl who I heard back on the battlefield
Alan…why does this name seem familiar to me and his voice? Where have I heard it?
***
"no… what just happened..."
I had a sword in my hand with blood slowly flowing down to my hands. I gradually lifted my head. The blade was pierced through someone's body. I couldn't see his face. It was all white
"this world shall know what it feels like to…."
That was my voice…what

"Alan, you are the only one…please..please…."
