Capítulo 3: Awkward

Swoosh and bang continuously ring through my ears. In a state of panic, I wonder what on earth is happening. Lost in thought, I realize something very important...I.CAN'T.MOVE. With all might, I try to muster to move even my little finger to no avail, it's as if I am not even inside my own body! No it feels like I don't even have a body to begin with! To make matters worse, with all the noise and distraught of having no body, a realization just struck my mind, the fact that my entire view was literally nothing, just pure black. Already feeling body-less, now I am in a predicament of even being unable to see, feel, touch, no speak out loud, and only be able to hear that irritable noise. Feeling myself drifting in this void of who knows where, I began to wonder how I ended up in this situation which luckily did not take that long, as I finally remember.

I remember that I was betrayed by the world and stabbed in the back by my friends (literally!). I remember that everything of me and on me, including my clothes, were robbed off me.

My memories started flooding back to me almost instantaneously. The murderous intent to the world, the feeling of the sword deep inside my flesh right through a major organ. Best of all, the sword was enchanted to make sure I did not immediately die but slow enough, to see them have their way with me, by mocking me, kicking me, cutting me, laughing at me, shaming me, glaring at me - their fucking savior! Pure hate started to rise inside me, as I felt all the pain I went through at a single span of a day, yet to me, it lasted an eternity. At the peak of a pain, when they finally ended their cruelty and took everything from me, I recall saying with my last breath and an anger of thousand gods "IF I SURVIVE, I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING, YOU MONSTERS!" and then passed out ...

After my memories came back to me, I felt empty in my heart, which brought back the panic and distress I felt a few moments ago, as if it did not seem to matter anymore. All my emotions, but anger, just got sucked inside a void inside my heart. I felt lost and didn't know what to do. I said I would destroy everything if I survived, but I don't exactly know if I survived or not, heck even if I did, I don't even know if a body even remains. In fact for all I know, I could be a wandering spirit of the void or about to be reincarnated!... though I doubt that, since it seems the gods are against me...

My thoughts were interrupted by the `bang` and `swoosh` noises irrupting though my ears! For God's sake, haven't I suffered enough? Why out of all the 5 senses, do I have the ability to hear such a loud, distorted noise! Honestly, I wanted to cover my ears, yet I could not..... Does my torture continue? Am I not allowed to even feel any form of peace, in what I assume, is this afterlife? I cursed the misfortune upon me to the point, I was going to lose all sense of reason.

Luckily, before I lost myself, I heard someone saying "Oh? You'r finally awake, I see." The voice sounded that of a female, who was excited and thankful for the fact that I "awakened." It felt quite odd to me, but for some reason, I felt more thankful, instead of angry towards her. I felt, there was no fear or a hint of falseness at the sound of her gentle and delicate voice. Just from hearing her, I felt a chill of ice form, when she spoke, which freezes some anger in my heart, allowing my sense of reasoning and thinking to come back to my reality.

"Who are you? Am I dead?

"No you are not dead, don't worry, you have just been sleeping, that's all" She explained with her calm icy voice.

"Uh sleeping? For how long" I hesitantly asked..

"Well, I would say around one thousand and five hundred years. You are quite a heavy sleeper" She exclaimed with some sarcasm at the end...Did she just giggle?

"WHAT! How on earth is it possible for me to sleep for so long. Also, I will have you know that I am a very light sleeper" I answered with extreme seriousness about my sleeping.

For a moment, she was surprised about how serious I was, telling her about my sleeping habits, yet it seemed, she was laughing at it! But it didn't annoy me, I could feel that she was laughing as she found it amusing, and not because she wanted to belittle me.

With her cold, yet warm tone, she continued: "You were in a critical state, and to cut a long story short, I saved you. Though, I had to encase you in a rock of ice to prevent your death, which resulted in your consciousness to freeze as well, but allowed me more time to heal your injuries. Well, to you it felt like mere moments all this happened, but in the outside world it has been 1,500 years. Oh but don't worry, other then your healed injuries you still have a young appearance, in fact you didn't age at all thanks to my ice."

I was utterly shocked from these new developments. How have I been in a ice block for such a long time and the fact, that this woman managed to save me from death and preserve my body without aging, the fact that she even had such a power to pull off these fetes all by herself, and mainly that she saved someone who was hated and feared off by every intelligent life! Usually I would feel some distrust from such kindness, yet oddly enough, now I don't. I somehow know she isn't lying to me, like we have a bond to know when one or another is dishonest. It's very weird.

,A realization dawned on me "Hold on.....if I have been sleeping for 1,500 years....does that mean....all the people who betrayed me, have already passed away...."

"..."

The voice didn't reply, thus creating an awkward situation. The no reply made me feel incredibly down...I am unable to take my revenge on them....they all passed away with no worries...they got the easy way out..... I thought about how blessed I was at another chance of life but unable to take the revenge I swore to take, if I lived. Very disheartening.

"Hey, voice in my head, when am I able to break out of this ice?" I asked with an unenthusiastic tone.

Almost instantly, a reply followed: "Oh yea, you can leave whenever you want. Just concentrate the energy around you and pull the energy inside of yourself, then use it to control the ice which allows you to feel your body again and just brake the ice with the energy. I am sure it will naturally come to you, great hero!"

Oh yea, so easy! - I sarcastically thought, all I have to do is brake some ice that managed to freeze me for years on years, nothing to worry about. I gathered the courage and tried to follow her instruction by feeling the energy around me. After a few moments of concentration, I started feeling a chill down my spine, then towards my lungs, causing my breaths to release cold frost after each breath. The chill energy then started to travel to my heart which gave me a strange odd feeling, however something was wrong. If I am trying to break the ice why am I surrounding my organs with ice when they are practically frozen! So trying to change the course of the energy I course the freezing energy from my heart and instead of condensing it, I spread it around my body to the top of my skin, allowing the ice energy to leak out from me. My temperature started to rise and miraculously I started to feel my fingers ever so slowly. Yes it's working! Releasing the energy out of my body is way faster and more effective then whatever the voice said!

After a few minutes I managed to feel my body and all that's left too release the energy in one go to completely brake this weakened ice!

...

...

...

BANG!

I did it! I broke through this ice, but still some frost remained on parts of my skin. Oh well, it was my first time controlling energy after a long time. Embarking on my achievement,I see a frail and shocked girl on the floor near the former ice rock. The girl was quite short with clothes of low quality material, giving me the impression, that she is a slave. After a closer look at her, I saw bruises and cuts around her body with mud covering the places the bruises and cuts did not cover. Did she fall in mud? I wondered. This girl had medium length ginger hair with watery blue eyes, however with all the mud, bruises, cuts and poor clothing, she looked more of a peasant than a human. Maybe she was a peasant.

The girl examined me, and once she looked down, her face turned bright red and looked away immediately and said "p..p..pervert!."

I was confused and frankly pissed off, that this girl called me a pervert, when we haven't even met before, but then I looked down.....I AM NAKED!

No wonder this girl said what she said, I literally have no clothes....

Well, I must admit, my first meeting a person after 1,500 years, I did not imagine it to be like this.

Once again like earlier I and most likely her felt very awkward about this uh....predicament.
