Raphael opened his eyes in mid of nowhere, practically. There were noises in a fair distance, and at close by. His head was aching, his ears ringing... With a moan he rolled to his right, he could feel grass tickling his cheek, sitkcing into his tightly closed eyes. So he ended up sleeping in the open? Oh no, if he did that he hoped he wasn't mugged or beaten up until he passed out. Or raped in worst scenario. His eyes snaped open and young man jumped up, sitting on the grass checking his pockets and clothes all over. Everything seemed in place, his body seemed intact and undirsturbed. With a loud sigh he leaned back on his hands. Where the hell was he then?
It was dark, but not pitch black darkness he expected from a moonless and starless sky. It was interesting that everything around him seemed to be lit with a pale light. Almost like he was looking negatives of a clear morning photograph, this was absurd. Then he saw a soft mist rolling around the tree root a few inches away from him. Wait a second, did that smoke curled away behind the tree like a snake? He was startled with a slow whisper, or so he thought he heard a whisper. Thn more smokes, here and there, far from him between the trees and in the dark sky... What on earth-..?
Welcome.... a voice whispered.
Raphael turned around to see who was speaking to him, no one seemed at sight. He slowly stood up on his feet, some images were coming to him. A sad beautiful creature walking in the sky, looking at him sadly.
There.... quick...
"Who are you? Show yourself!" he exclaimed, trying to get his logic back on the track.
...Us... spirits... a mist flew close to him, shaped up into face of a beautiful teenage girl, she smiled and turned into a smoke as it curled away from Raphael. ...curious... are we not?
"....Ghosts.... oh wait that's great, I can see dead people? I feel like a cheap horror movie character now." he tried to shake off creepy chill on him with a nervous laughter. Spirits?? What was wrong with this place?!!!
The hill.... over there... follow.... voices echoed again.
"...You want me to look there?" he tested, seemingly about to have a nervous breakdown. For a guy who realised he could see and talk to spirits, he seemed awfully in control.
We will... guide you...trust us....
"I'm not going anywhere before I get REAL answers!! Who the hell- what the hell are you and what's this place?? How did I end up here?!! Who brought me!??"
You have... already have the answers.... came the smart answer along with an amused ghastly chuckle.
"Oh that's great..." he murmured.
Then again... Yes, it was the noises close by and at the distance which woke him up. So, noises close by were the spirits, then what made the ones at the distance? Raphael was actually scared to see what might cause a form of noise in this realm, but he didn't want to believe he was stuck here alone on his own. With a nervous deep breath, he walked upto the hill. There were people after all. But something was off here, three of them were fighting against one.
the blind... shadows...watch out.... a mist whispered to him. ...trust .... the beast.... of the earth..
And what was with all form of spiritual characters favoring speaking in riddles?! He didn't bother pondering on mumblings of a smoke, instead he grabbed a thick long branch he saw laying in the grass. He stripped it off the thin branches and leaves, branch looked straight enough to use as a weapon, and more importantly it wasn't dry. So it would be flexible at a level and won't break off easily. Perhaps all that kendo training might be helpful after all, he thought gloomily. If this was going to turn out as a battle royale, he wanted to be prepared.
"Hey!!" he yelled running down the hill. "Just for the records, I'm here with anyone who's not out for my blood." he raised the branch to them, he was speaking with a thick english accent, he preferred speaking english anyway.
[hey guys 8DDDDD]
