Mirror World
The village? [12]
...Waking up from a long dream I could feel cold sweat pouring down my back, remembering once again that this place was not a dream world I tried to calm my heart that was beating abnormally. Seeing that the other participants were still asleep I decided to wash myself with cold water, but when I got to door 03 asked me....
..."Where are you going?"...
...03 looks tense and I understand why he is like that, what happened yesterday will definitely make anyone tense and panic....
..."Clean myself up, you want to come?"...
...After I said like that 04 who had closed his eyes joined the conversation, the situation of belonging to 04 is the same as 03 but worse....
..."If you two leave who will accompany me here?"...
...The three of us looked at each other and silence ensued....
..."Looks like you guys don't have a good rest, do you guys have weird dreams?"...
...The possibility for them to dream about the same dream as me is very high, given that this world is the 'Mirror World' and from the incident of the corpse that returned alive this place could of course cause all the participants to have the same dream....
..."Sure was! Who wouldn't have a nightmare after meeting the undead like yesterday! You don't know in that dream I almost got bitten!"...
...04 said with annoyance and 03 also looks like having the same dream as 04, too, I could only frown upon hearing the difference in their dreams and give a suggestion to the two of them so that their abnormal state could now disappear....
..."if like this 01 and 02 shouldn't have a good rest, why don't we go see them? To talk about that plan again last night?"...
...The two people who were in front of me did not give a rejection and immediately stood up from their place to follow me to the room belonging to 01 and 02, respectively, before entering I knocked on the doors of 01 and 02 and saw that they had also woken up. We all ended up discussing our plans more thoroughly and I also did not hide the path that all the pesetas could use in order to accomplish their tasks easily. My observation on the first night could only make me paint the road in the village roughly but after living up to the fourth day in this village, I was able to get a shortcut as well as an alternative path....
..."05 So you went quietly the first night?"...
...01 looked at me sharply but I ignored him, because even though he suspected me 01 could do nothing to me....
..."As long as you remember the paths I gave you you can definitely avoid most of the undead that roam the paths that are crowded with them"...
...After I finished saying that I looked out the window and could see that the sun was starting to pull out to welcome the new day, this made all the participants start to get ready to do our plans....
..."05 I don't know what's on your mind, but if you want to do something that harms the other participants I'll take care of you"...
...01 said coldly while tightly grasping my shoulder, although 01 looked like a rude person but he always helped the other participants by silently from the first time we all met in 'The Mirror World' and also the time in this village....
..."I don't have such a plan, but if you keep threatening me like this I don't know what I'm going to do"...
...Then I put away 01's hand, before going to clean myself. 01 behind me kept watching me until I got off the stairs, like a guard who doesn't want criminals to commit crimes....
...***...
..."All of you better not fight the undead you meet but remove them and find another way without drawing the undead's attention"...
...I commemorated the participants who would be on duty outside the villa, the four of us while the undead were more than enough to overwhelm us. All the participants looked at me like they understood, making sure we were all ready to part ways and walk towards our respective destination temples....
...***...
...The temple at the River section was not too far from the village center so we arrived quickly, in addition, because the location of this temple is far from where the activities of the villagers we both do not often cross paths with the undead who roam the village....
..."05 Do you think when we take the stone in this temple we'll meet a ghost?"...
...02 said while hugging himself....
..."05 The air around this river is cold, we're not going to meet a ghost, are we? B-but if this temple can create a dead body why not with a ghost..."...
...I looked towards 02 with a sigh, I understood why this child was scared so the thing I could do now was to lower his fear....
..."You don't need to be afraid, the air here is cooler than anywhere else because we are near springs and also crowded with trees so of course the air here is cooler. Then if we really meet a ghost I'll take you on my back and run away from this place, all we need to do now is find the stone in this temple"...
...After that I stroked 02's head with a smile, 02 looked calmer after hearing my words and started to get excited to look for the stone that would be the key out of this obstacle....
..."02 don't be too far from me if you meet a strange object just tell me, we don't want to sleep forever in this temple to accompany the souls who live here"...
...The young man who had wanted to go explore this temple himself walked back beside me after hearing my warning, this made me want to laugh but I held him back....
..."But that doesn't mean you have to stick next to me, as long as you don't feel like there's anything weird you can wander around but if you feel any danger just run to me, okay?"...
...02 nodded his head and went looking for the stone we might be looking for, I also returned to find where the thing we were looking for was. While I was looking for the stone we needed I could hear a voice I didn't like, during these few days the shadow that always followed me never appeared again after the first day and I enjoyed the calmness that I had but it seemed like it had to end....
..."Are you happy now? Even if you're in a situation that could cost your life? Or do you want to let go of your guilt by being kind to these people? Have you forgotten about your sins and mistakes? The blood that flows from your weapon is already dry but you never forget it, right?"...
...This shadow stood in front of me and its shape no longer looked like a fragmented body but still it was just a black shadow....
..."You do not deserve to be happy, behind you there are piles of bodies from young to old and even then not together with the bodies of your friends or enemies. The night you were supposed to rest was where you repeated your mistakes, I know how much you hate people who force you to kill but you hate yourself more who can't do anything."...
...I tried to ignore this shadow like before, although it kept bothering me for quite a while but he ended up leaving me alone after giving his last words....
..."Never forget everything that has ever happened"...
