章 5: Chapter 5: Forest of Sorrows
"Hahaha! I am gonna be an adventurer!" With his newly found power, hope began to emanate from him. It awakens his desire to travel and embark on the journey of an adventurer. "First, I need to eat, haha"
Using two large pebbles he found nearby, he lit a fire using fallen black branches. He then roasted the meat he collected from the fallen corpses. "Damn, the meat is too tough" with no choice, Z continued eating the bland meat.
"Wuack!" Z came back to his senses as he hear a cry that came from the sky. In a huff, a shadow covered his area, making it even darker. He realized that since there are no leaves from the dried trees, nothing covered him from the view of an avian. "Damn, I really am an idiot" 'Run!'
As he still fears the di-bodied beasts his only path is to move deeper into the forest.
"Thankfully that bird is attracted by the carcasses" as he stopped from running.
He noticed that the area ahead was filled with black trees. But contrary to where he is now, those are lucious and thick. Although, the leaves are also black. He contemplated on whether he should go or not, since the area gives the feeling of pain, grief, and darkness.
Having nowhere else to go, he decided to venture inside the gloomy part of the forest. "Damn, it's so dark." After moving deeper, he noticed that except for the trees, there is no life in the vicinity.
"A child?" a hoarse voice resounded in the ears of Z.
"Who's there!?" he asked, inevitably revealing the fear he just felt.
"HAHA! Kid, you are a brave soul. Even going this deep in the forest."
"Who are you!?"
"Who am I..." pondered the voice.
"I guess you can say that I am sorrow, and this is my forest"
"Wh...at? You ow..n this fore..st? I a...m sorry mi...ster. I am just loo...king for a beast to ack...nowledge me. I me...an no harm." As Z stutters.
"Is that so? Hmm... you already have a red core, why are you looking for acknowledgement of a beast?
'Red core??? He pondered'
"Ah! Is that the orb in... near the stomach?"
"Indeed, indeed. How come you did not know? Hmm, where are you from?"
"The village outside this forest, great sir. The Valley of Repentance." He answered while trying to get his composure back.
"Hmm, you are from the pit, huh?" said the voice in a low tone
"What pit?"
"Oh, nevermind that, why do you seek to be acknowledged then?"
"I want freedom. I want to be an adventurer. I want to see the seas, the mountains higher than the cliffs." He said with gusto. Seemingly forgetting the fear from the start.
"Truly, truly. I guess your entrapment is related to me, so let me help you."
