Yes, the woman lying besides you is probably the most important person in the entire world of eryndral right now!
The voice explained, well at least tried to explain because most of the things the voice was rambling on about flew right above zailos's head because it was just too much to process in a single instance, like reading a completely new genre of novel without having no knowledge nor context of what that genre has to offer.
So, in summary, what you are trying to explain is that this woman right here —He said while pointing his finger at her — she is the most important person in the world? And why is that? Bother elaborating that part a bit more?
In a curious tone, zailos questioned the voice.
Well, about that, can i trouble you to ask you to ask her the question directly when she wakes up? I am really sorry but gaining consciousness even for a few seconds to answer your questions is getting extremely hard. Most probably it will take time for "me" to settle in your body perfectly or at least well enough for us to exchange words comfortably. Once again i apologize for troubling you.
During the last words of the voice, the voice got dimmer and dimmer inside his head and eventually it faded out into complete silence. Confused by the sudden situation but even more tired, he didn't bother thinking any deeper into what was going on anymore and just closed his eyes while laying just besides the woman.
Before the incident with the voice and the mysterious woman, zailos always had extremely hard time falling asleep but this time, the moment he closed his eyes, he was already in the world of dreams or was it?
Deep, deep inside his consciousness, he found himself floating in a dark empty space that seemed like an empty void that extended beyond the horizon. In the dark empty space, he was in the middle of it, floating and unknowing of what was going on. At first, he thought it was one of his nightmares that he used to have almost every day after struggling to fall asleep but it felt too "real" to be a dream, it was like he was awake consciously but his body wasn't.
He was still contemplating on what to do in order to hopefully "wake up" from whatever was going on at the moment which was for sure not a dream and being inside of it felt somewhat uncomfortable. He tried everything, he pinched himself several times and even slapped himself a few times to possibly wake up but it was all in vain. As he was going in for another swift slap right across his face, he saw something right in front of his eyes. He stopped his hands mid air as his focus Drew towards the faint light that was forming in front of him. The faint light was magical for sure as the way it turned into a screen like figure was not something ordinary at the very least. In the screen like figure, a blurry vision was played, the blurry vision slowly cleared itself and eventually it reached a point where one could understand what the vision was showing.
A young guy with sky blue hair and deep scar in his left cheek, possibly in his mid 20s by the looks of if was struggling as he was grabbing an extremely eye catching flower in his hand. The flower was almost hypnotizing because it's beauty was out of this world and the shine it had elevated it's beauty even more but the young guy didn't seem to care about it's beauty nor it's shine. He just grabbed the flower as tightly as he could in his hand which was visibly causing him extreme pain but he ignored all of it and waddled his way away slowly because he couldn't even run because of the extreme pain even though it was written all over his face just in how much hurry he was. Eventually he disappeared from the vision and so did the vision itself including the screen like figure.
Once again darkness reigned it's parade and zailos found himself in a dark and empty space just like before.
What was that?
Zailos questioned himself in awe about what he had just saw. He was confused but most of all he could strangely feel extreme sadness and he knew as his gut feeling was screaming that it was the guy's feelings that he just saw in the vision that he himself was feeling. It was a very strange occurrence but it somehow felt natural to him as if he had just collected a part of him that was his to pick.
A scent of a flower so beautiful that he could vividly create an image of it in his heand. Beautifully beautiful it's silver petals that each and every one of em shined like a diamond on it's own and the slimey and prickly teeths of it? Wait teeth? And also slimy?
Zailos opened his eyes immediately and to his disappointment, the extremally beautiful scent from the flower was actually a fungal zerma that was stuck on his nose and sucking his blood. Upon landing his eyes on it, he immediately shoved it away from his nose with great force. Fortunately for him fungal zerma were peculiar kind of species which fed on only a small amount of blood and weren't poisonous as well.
The top of his nose was bleeding small streams of blood and he simply wiped them off with his hands but he immediately realized that the woman besides of him could still have fungal zerma on her so he quickly turned his head towards her but to his surprise, she was spotless. Not a single wound nor nothing instead she was just looking beautiful even in her sleep.
Talk about pretty privilege eh? Y'all only stick your gooey and slimy stingers on me huh?
He spoke in a sarcastic manner while clearing the remaining blood from the top of his nose.
Hello? Are you the guy from yesterday?
The woman who's awakening was the key to his answers that he sought out had finally woken up. She spoke in a calm tone.
