Chapter 6: A new world
That night, many people saw two shiny meteors fall into the vast landscape.
.....
A morning star rises as gentle sunlight brightens the vast landscape. In a huge forest, a sun ray shines on a young boy who lying and seems to be a six-year-old. As the gentle sun shone on his eyes he frowned, it made him open his eyes.
"Agh...! Why does my body hurt so much...?" A childish voice sounded.
As he sat up, he felt a surge of intense pain travel through his nerves to his whole body. He raises his head and looks up at the ray of sunlight.
The ray of sunlight illuminate him. His face was adorable and with messy black hair and he wore the clothes and pants that were too big for him.
"Where is here...?" His two big eyes filled with confusion as he spoke.
"Agh...! My head..." A sudden pain in the head makes him rub his temple instinctive.
"Falkmar? Oh yeah... that's my name... and fog... Jonas... who's that deity again...?" Every memory before he was at this strange place shattered like glass in Falkmar's mind.
"Wait! Where is Jonas!" Falkmar suddenly shouted as he realized Jonas wasn't beside him.
"And where the hell is this place!" As Falkmar spoke, he quickly glanced around this environment.
As he used his pure eyes to glance at this forest, he felt a surge of confusion and curiosity. He saw many things that don't exist on the earth in this forest.
This forest is filled with weird black trees. The trees are black, long, and straight at least five stories high, and the deep verdant leaves spread on their top like an umbrella. These trees grow densely, the leaves cover the sky.
Flowers covered the ground, and even the soil could not be seen. The fragrance of flowers wafted into Falkmar's nose, making him feel comfortable mentally. Some flowers look beautiful and lush, while others look ugly and withered.
"What a strange place... do these such flowers and trees exist on earth?" Falkmar stroked his chin and looked at the leaves as if thinking something.
Suddenly a scene of memory flashed in Falkmar's mind. It was when everything shattered when he stepped on the flowery path. After that, he falls, his cursing and Void's laughter is the last scene he remembers.
"Ahh is that little brat, it sent me here." Falkmar's voice with a bit of anger.
The laughter of Void lingered in Falkmar's mind. He suddenly slammed a fist onto those flowers and the fist passed through those flowers and then hit the ground.
After that, Falkmar rose but felt a strong feeling of itch and pain on his fist that slammed onto the ground. When he stared at his fist, he found out it turned red and swollen.
"Poisonous?" This word immediately pops out in Falkmar's mind.
With that, Falkmar's mind was flooded with a wave of fear. Now, he doesn't dare to touch those flowers.
The big pants and big shoes protect his feet so well that he doesn't need to worry about the flowers touching him. Falkmar started to walk in a direction, he hoped there was a way out of this forest.
"Hello? Is everybody there?" Falkmar shouted while walking.
Nobody responds, this forest is enveloped in an eternal silence but many dim lights shine into this forest making the view incredible.
The shout of Falkmar travels through the air to the far away, and the longer he walks the more obvious feeling of hunger and thirst he has.
"Oh shit, Am I going to die here today...? No... I don't want to die! I have many things I haven't finished yet!" Falkmar said unwillingly in his mind.
"And where the hell is Jonas?" He added in mind.
Falkmar's body, mind, and memory had a little bit of change because of the white space reversing time. His body becomes a six-year-old child and his mind still with a bit of maturity, as for his memory, it was blurred after he came into this world.
And right now, Falkmar sees many trees but not the exit. He didn't disappoint too much and just kept walking in a direction as if there was an exit.
But the longer Falkmar walked the more desperate he is. It keeps for an hour and the forest becomes hot because of his clothes and pants and his hunger and thirst are more obvious.
From the start, Falkmar didn't see any creature inside this forest but the flowers grew bigger and higher, the flowers right now are the same height with Falkmar's waist.
"Am I going deeper...?" Falkmar glanced around those flowers and said with a worried tone.
The height of the dense flowers was like a deep ocean that was going to suffocate Falkmar. Because of hunger and thirst, makes him look like he has no energy but right now, because of the height of those flowers, it makes his heart beat faster, and feels the energy floating inside him.
But invisible things touch his cheeks while he is across between the trees. It was thin like silk when he reached out from the long sleeve and got the invisible things, he found out it was spider silk.
"Spider?!" Falkmar shouted out of fear.
The spider was the scariest thing in his mind. After realized it was the silk from the spider, his heart beat wildly in his chest, and couldn't help but imagine the spider, he started to feel there was something crawling on his legs and back.
This makes him want to change direction but maybe is because the mind of a six-year-old makes him persistent in moving in this direction.
But soon, he regrets it. The flowers grow even higher and he touches many spider silk, which makes his dread build inside his mind.
He felt something behind him when he was persistent in moving in this direction, he felt there was something behind him. He was sure it was not a psychological effect because he heard the sound from behind and was scared to look back.
Right now, he stopped. In front of him were the flowers that could even reach his neck. On the back, there was something horrible.
"Mama..." Falkmar whispered helplessly and wanted to cry.
The forest is warm but his mind is cold. When Falkmar going to turn back, the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense at this moment.
He slowly turns his head, his heart racing in his chest and every fiber of his being is screaming. He has already thought about it, if there is something big then he will run into the flowers.
Falkmar's head turns slowly, very slow as if there's a hand that tries to stop him from turning back. As his head turns back, the scene in his sight is nothing but full of flowers on the ground and trees.
But there was a weird point. The ground beside Falkmar has many rays of sunlight shining in, but in front of him has no light as if something is blocking it.
"Is there something up there?" Falkmar whispered with a trembling voice.
As Falkmar looked up he saw his deepest fear on the tree. A giant black spider. The spider had ten legs and six eyes. There were two large sky-blue circles on its black back, which looked like two big eyes staring at Falkmar. This spider is about two stories high.
Right now, Falkmar was completely stunned and gawking. After a moment, his childish face showed an expression of extreme fear. His heart racing in his chest. He was frightened by this scene and fell to the ground.
When Falkmar fell to the ground the big spider suddenly walked down. It walked slowly. When the big spider walked in front of him, he was so frightened that he even incontinent.
Six eyes of the spider gazing at Falkmar. Falkmar did the same with the spider, gazing at the spider, its two big fangs and sharp feet beating.
"Shit..." Falkmar scolded in a low voice.
His mind races to generate many thoughts in an attempt to find a way out but all are impossible. Under the spider's gaze, he felt his fate was obvious to know. He let out a sigh of resignation and unwillingly.
"I dare you eat me! You little brute!" Falkmar rose and shouted to the spider.
As the giant spider saw a little child suddenly rise and reach out a hand pointed at itself and shouted, it didn't attack Falkmar but eyes filled with confusion. This spider even reaches out a foot and scratches its head.
Falkmar was stunned for a moment as he saw its anthropomorphic actions. A question floated in his mind.
"C-can you talk...?" Falkmar said it subconsciously.
As the spider heard his discourse it stunned for a moment trying to understand what Falkmar said and suddenly used one foot and swung to those flowers, the flowers were cut off and left the soil exposed.
Falkmar sees a spider use its foot and seems writing on the soil, trying to communicate with Falkmar. However, he can't understand what the spider writes, the words seem to not exist on earth.
