ARIYS NIRSA

At the cliff above the seashell coloured foggy area, Ariys was sitting there to scan the place while ate a chunk of cooked meat. After done she stood up.

"Hey, alarm, how long do you plan to sleep?. You know it's been a long time since you last activated" she tried to provoke the alarm.

Still the alarm didn't make a move. She was worried because the alarm hadn't activated in over a week and three days, she thought something definitely will happen as soon as she enter the foggy area, so it will be better for her to handle whatever will come at the open place.

"Moreover, I don't know how to keep walk on the right course in a foggy place" She mumbled while looking at the dense fog. "Just look at it, even when the sun is right above the head. I can't see a thing inside it"

She then walked in circles, looking confused. Suddenly inside her thought she felt off, her attention then shifted on her own shadow. Behind it, there was another shadow, long and moving toward her at high speed, she was able to dodged that attack by duck and quickly rolled to the left. Infront of her stood a big animal looks like orangutan with khaki fur.

"Why are there territorial animals here?" Ariys confused. She remembered what Fri had taught her.

Khakiro, a smart monkey yet aggressive when they are discomfort with you within they territory. They usually lived at the high tree area.

Ariys picked up a stone in her left hand, she then sprinted towards Khakiro while dodged his long arms attack. She ran to the right and left simultaneously until the Khakiro's hands were convoluted, as soon as the hands had stopped attacking she stepped forward. She used the stone like a knife and swung it to Khakiro. The orangutan dodged it with ease, it jumped high into the air, adjusted his hands, and launched a counterattack.

Ariys protected her head and body by raising her arms above her head. Even though she was bleeding from the attack, Ariys still stood bravely until she was attacked with a powerful spin punch by Khakiro that made her flying to the side of the cliff. The Khakiro then walked to her, without checking if she was still alive or not he lifted the injured girl and tried to threw her to the fog area below cliff. Ariys who had pretended to be unconscious, suddenly spin her body to release herself from Khakiro's hands.

"Die you ugly monkey" Ariys said while fell with her both hands grabbing the stone.

The stone landed on Khakiro left eye and went further inside. The Khakiro floundering around tried to grab Ariys further away from him, but because of his long nonflexible arms he can't even reach his shoulder and Ariys also held tight on the stone in order to not let the stone fly away when Khakiro moved around. The Khakiro suddenly froze, Ariys without suspected anything even though there was cracking sound around slowly put her leg to the ground. Just before her feet could touch the ground Khakiro rapidly sprinting to the cliff. Ariys tried to jump, but was blocked with Khakiro's broken long arms that had build a wall around her.

"Damn monkey, he plan to jump off this cliff together with me" she said as she found it was pointless too if she wanted to escape from hole above them as it was too high.

She were late to think anything as she already could felt her body fell downward.

"No! I can't die here—not like this. I refuse to squander the precious chance Fri gave me to live. I won't waste that gift—not when everything I've fought for is on the line. I will survive, no matter the cost" she talked to herself. As she said that in a blink of eye she had already flew to the cliff back. Without wasting time, she crawled toward the exit.

She couldn't believe what just happened, "wow, this world really have some weird phenomenon isn't" she thought she was able to saved from death because of the wind at there.

"Forget about it Ariys. You need to run first before Sanguivore comes at you" she mumbled as she slapped herself and quickly ran away after heard a loud roaring in the forest.

----------

Below a big tree there were room enough for Ariys to slip in between the roots to rest at there. She washed all blood in her body before sat and took a big thin leaf and cutting it to a long part. She then cleaned several piece of wood and put it to her bleeding part and tied it tightly using the long leaf she cut.

"It sure doesn't convenient to venture alone. I wonder how Fri could do it before he met me" Ariys sighed while clean up the area.

While cleaning her mind was in miserable state, she couldn't stop thinking her problem right now. Started from her limited space to bring food and water, her clothes that was half naked from all venture she went through alone and how to survive in that foggy area. As she sat down tirelessly, she mumbled alone "It looks like it will take even longer for me to reach Innovara". She said while look at dark sky outside and suddenly yawned. Her consciousness faded slowly until she fell asleep, lying on the ground.

--------------

In the middle of Twilight Vale forest, a young man with blue violet hair was running from a group of guards humanoid robot. He was attacked with tranquilizer ammo. The young man displayed incredible physical agility when dodging the ammo. He jumped high into the air and broke a dense tree trunk with ease. He was lucky as that place was a Khakiro territory because he could focus to run and let the orangutan fought the guard robots. He ran further away not thinking anything as his mind was consumed by the freedom he had long desired.

While ran he pickup a rusty brown cloak he found in Khakiro nest, his chest keep rising rapidly and his head was filled in with his memory about his little sister. "Wait for me. I will save you the next time we meet". He ran through many terrain like the dense forest, the waterfall, an open area of dark purple grass and finally reached a place full with flower and colorful butterfly with his mind only flowing about save his cute little sister. Suddenly he screamed, " I will save you" his voice loud and clear and echoed through the forest, making the birds flew away.

But because of the scream there were many monsters and dangerous animals came to him. He stood there bravely and even provoked all of them to coming to him all together. "Even when the storm come to me, I will not stop. Just you wait you damn demon, I will seek my revenge" his personality suddenly changed as his mind flowing with his bad past memory, his mind showed him a pair of hand and leg full in blood and also a house that was burning with a surrounding full with corpses.

"Die you all" he said with a drops of rain following his voice travel through monsters and animals that started attacking him.

The rain then starting to pour down heavily wiping all the blood in the ground and began to rise slowly in Twilight Vale. Wild animals and monsters started to climb up to higher place while the young man uses corpses of monsters and animals he killed to build a higher place and hopped to the woods next to him. The disaster still continued across the Twilight Vale and eventually reached the place where Ariys slept.

As the clear water splashed Ariys' feet, her body shaking by the cold temperature of the water.

"So cold" she said while hug herself and opened up her eyes a little, she could felt the strong wind and the cold water slowly arise around her skin. " I need to get out of here" she said with a low stutter voice. She moved her hands trying to get up, but because her hands were shivering too much she fell back.

"I feel so weak, why? Am I sick?" She though as she couldn't freely moved any parts of her body except shaking continuosly. Still she doesn't give up, she moved slowly using her hands grabbing the ground and pulled her body. "No, I will survive this one too, so don't you dare to give up before me, my body" she said in herself while moved to the outside.

With strong determination on her heart she was able to reach outside the tree, but as soon as she saw outside condition her eyes widened. There was a big wave coming to her at high speed, her hands panicky. She touched everything on the ground to find something to be her anchor. Before she could secure her grip, the wave slammed her away. The small injury girl couldn't do anything beside follow the strong water current.

"Don't faint, Ariys. You need to find a way out" she fight her weak mentality really hard to stay awake. Suddenly something unexpected happen, the alarm make a move. Ariys was flabbergasted. This time the alarm inside her body emitted a bright light, the light was visible from the surface. Ariys looked around wandered with curiosity on what will come to her.

Not far from there the young man spotted the light. He quickly went there by jumping from tree to tree, when arrived he dive immediately in the water after made an eye contact with Ariys. He grabbed Ariys and swam to the nearest tree. He was able to climbed the tree with only one hand while the other lifted Ariys. After arrived on the woods he let Ariys down, Ariys stay quiet as her body still shivering from the cold. The young man gave Ariys his cloak, she took it and wrapped herself. The light then finally off after a minute, Ariys became uneasy. She touched the man leg. "We need to run, something is coming to us" she said.

The man stared at her with a flat face, but his hand that was rub her head somehow made her calm. The warmth of his hand made Ariys thought she was laying at flower garden with a nice gently wind. He gave her a reassured smiled before left her leaned on the tree.

"I hope you're safe, mister" she said with a low voice. Before she totally gone exhausted, she heard a loud voice of splashing water with tree around them vigoursly shaken.

--------------

In a nice warm place covered with dense leaf, Ariys finally opened up her eyes after took a really long sleep. She saw the young man was sitting in front her with bonfire lit the room from the center. She took a look at the man condition.

She became unease when she spotted a bleeding mark at the man arm. She planned to covered up his injury, so she slowly moved to went outside to get ingredients she need. Just when her feet touched outside the place the man suddenly spoke.

"Stop there, miss. It was middle of the mid night now. I don't suggest you to leave now" he said.

Ariys stopped and look at the outside, she saw a beautifully manifested full moon with star fall. After enjoyed that magnificent sky Ariys stepped back, instead of going to her bed she sat beside the man.

"Are you okay, mister?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm totally fine" he responded, but his stomach answered differently as it made loud growling sound.

Ariys smiled, "looks like you're hungry. I have some meat, but the condition is worse because of the flood. Do you okay with that?" she proposed while got the wet meat.

He took it. "Thank you, miss" he said, but Ariys rephrase that sentence. "Thank you, Ariys. My name is Ariys Nirsa, nice to meet you, mister kind" she said while smiling at him.

But still he looked at her with a poker face and said, "mine is Anish, nice to meet you, miss cute"

Ariys's face turned red, even though Anish had said it emotionlessly.
