Henry is sleeping in the midnight. The moonlight came straight from the window on his bed.
Mimi, Marsh and Jeena sleeping aside. Henry had a quilt too.
Henry sleeping comfortably.
Suddenly, he woke up. This time he again found himself in the white mysterious domain. Surrounded by spirits, knee level water, naked.
A crocodile appeared in front of him walking like a human. Had a shadow with monstrous shape, having no match with its physical body.
" Hello sir, I am Death, how can I serve you?"
Henry was stunned. As this thing happened once again, doubts in his heart disappeared slowly. This is not a nightmare...
" Why are you a crocodile? Weren't you a bear last time I saw? "
" Yes lord, I can shape into whatever a living being can fear to. No matter what it is. Even the cosmos itself. "
Henry looked around him, observing everything around him. He felt so much thaum pressure there. He was about to squashed!!
But,
Death turned into an angel and took his hand on Henry. The pressure lightened a lot.
Henry understood that this place is filled with unimaginable amount of thaum, but where is this place?
Death just noticed his height is being more than Henry's, so he turned into a walking dog. Henry inhales and witnessed beautiful charm. The air here is very fresh and smooth.
Henry snapped his fingers and said, " I want to sit. Is there any sofa? "
Death chuckled.
" Here you go, look down, sir. "
Henry looked down and found himself standing on a sofa. He slowly sat on the sofa exhaling in relief.
He itched his head. Thinking what to do.
" Can you tell me a joke? "
Death stared at Henry for a milisecond and a coat appeared on his body.
" Once there was a boy named Gandu. One night, He was sleeping. In dream, he saw himself dreaming. The thing was he was dreaming in a another dream and also in that dream he was dreaming, because he was dreaming in which he was also dreaming but not dreaming but technically dreaming and dreaming the dream too. "
Henry scratched his head.
" By the way, what is the link between you and me? "
" ... " Death kept silent.
" Why are you suddenly silent after bringing me here? Now say something already! "
" I.... I.... I mean.... We were not supposed to be servant and master, but brothers, right?"
" Huh? What does it mean? I am bothered by all of this goofy tricks. Let me sleep peacefully. "
Death's doggy face turned sad slowly.
Like he was holding something inside. Not allowing to come out.
" Sure.... Sir! Hope we meet again. "
Death snapped his finger and Henry's consciousness came back to his physical body.
....
In the late morning,
Henry has woke up. Kittens rumbling with eachother. Mimi still sleeping.
Henry wore his outfit and hat, deciding to go for a walk. Same as always. People going and coming. He will have to go on work from now on. A contract of 40 starling at a day.
He is very upset about Zach's death. He was the person he used to sit next to.
Henry went in front of the house Zach and his family lived. Now there is only a mother and a sister. A family without any male isn't less than a curse.
Henry turned back to the path he came from, returning home.
.....
Reaching his home, he unlocked the door and entered with a lowered face.
When he opens the door of his room, a ball rolled at crashed into his feet. He looked forward at the kittens staring at him.
Henry shoots it at Marsh. Suddenly Jeena came Infront. Kicked the ball hard and sent it back. Henry smiled and stopped the ball using knee. His hat fell on the ground.
" So, you guys wanna play? "
Henry shoots the ball again but at roof this time. Ball bounced and falling at them like meteor....
Mimi chilling in a corner of the bed as a audience.
Jeena steps back for defense while Marsh goes for the headbutt. The shot was low this time but managed to reach his opponent.
Henry used his chest to hold it on and tries a bicycle kick which was difficult to handle for the kittens.
Jeena jumped and somehow stopped it midway. While falling, Marsh ran and hit it with his paw. Henry hurrily stood up and took a perfect pose to react.
Nonetheless, Henry bounced the ball up using knee and swinged his leg to shoot the falling ball.
Marsh and Jeena was not ready for this. The ball straightly crossed both of them....
It is a goal...
... Untill the goalkeeper showed up.
Mimi jumped and stopped it with her tail. Swinged her paw with full power.
What will happen? Will it be?
Yes! It is a Goal!!! The ball crashed into the door.
Kittens won the day. They starts to celebrate their win.
Henry was stunned, his mouth was half opened. He just felt an extraordinary thaum pressure leaking around from Mimi's physical body. Could it be...
Henry went closer to Mimi and looked into her eyes. Checked every inch of her body.
Nah... Nothing abnormal. Was that a misunderstanding?
Seeing the kittens playing happily, Henry smiled.
Henry reminds that Father told him to come in the church when his luck points are full.
He will teach Henry about combat training.
Henry looked at the chained pocket clock. It is past 10am. He will go there at eleventh hour. His hands were shaking. He still has many things to do and learn.
He doesn't know where this path will take him. He doesn't know he was forced to be here or not. Maybe his fate was already written.
In this world, loneliness is not the absence in you but the absence of understanding in people. You are not alone because loneliness is your best friend. Those who seeks the embrace solitude will gradually despair in the darkness of this world, I am not in a different race at all.....
... Taking care of my beloved ones, just to see myself shattered even more.
Humans doesn't have any value. Talent is like a steelyard to measure a human's value.... That is how we are becoming worse and worse day by day.....
" We humans are the greatest creation of god "
A line which is false but not a lie at the same time.
