Ouch!
It hurts so much!
My head is killing me!
The bizzare scenes and memory fragments that flooded his mind instantly vanished.
Adam Kroger, who had just woken up from a very cryptic dream. Felt a sudden urge to get up and defend himself. No it was more like an innate feeling of weariness as he couldn't remember where he was or how he even got there. He looked Rather confused as he saw flashes of images he couldn't quite digest in his head.
After the headache and fragmented dreams in his head had reduced he slowly stood up weakly to get a proper look at his surroundings . The encroaching darkness signaling the onset of night had nearly vanished.
Adam saw a thorny Wall, what lay before him was a barren landscape, devoid of vegetation and some sort of blurry city beyond.
Where am I ?
As he walked trying to get a proper view of the blurry city he noticed two figures in the distance.
From where he was he couldn't get a proper view of them as he was further away .
Suddenly he saw the surrounding area around the two figures changed as a greyish white fog appeared on both of the figures obscuring them from his site
Adam quickly ran forward not wanting to loose the people that could provide him help.
As soon as he was nearly there the sun rise and filtered through the sky , he suddenly felt a burn in his eyes as he tripped on a rock and fell to the ground knocking him out .
Ow!
It took him a couple of him to come to , he had already bridge a small distance to the place he saw those two figures standing. As he looked to where they he had previously saw them. He saw no one .
They had left .
Just my luck,they've already gone . How am I leaving this desert. He slowly got up from the ground and dusted the clergyman robe he was wearing.
Adam continue walking forward where he had previously saw those two figures before . He hoped that he could at least find another person who could at least tell him where he was .
He felt a growing uneasy from the aura he was getting from this place causing him to shudder a few times .
This place is giving me a bad feeling, where am I and why don't I remember how I got here .
These thoughts crossed his mind as he reached the place where he had seen those two stood .
Multiple card pieces were scattered on the floor that glowed faintly in the sun light. Adam bent down and picked one up to look at it closely.
These are tarot cards but why are they scattered all over the place . Could there one has been a circus group performing around here. If that was so they would have to be visiting a village of some sort .
Going for a circus in the middle of a desert didn't seem right to Adam . As he turned around surveying his surroundings once again.
As he turned he noticed a Wall made out of thorny vines in the distance that acted like a barrier of some sort that blocked a small village he could barely see from where he stood. As he could see small traces of buildings just beyond the wall of thorns.
The expression on Adam face was pure joy as he had finally seen a place where he could calm down and gather his thoughts and also relax because this desert was scorching and if he wandered about any longer there was a high chance he could faint from dehydration.
Adam began walking towards the thorny Walls he didn't have the energy to run and he wasn't too far from the place , the only problem he had was finding and entry points at the very densely packed wall of thorns that surrounded the village.
Come on.... I'm almost there
With sweat streaming down his face and neck he had finally reached an entry point through the wall of thorns and with slightly trembling arms he passed through the gaps of the wall and entering the village.
As soon as he entered he immediately gasped what awaited him wasn't a small village teaming with people but a desecrated landscape with broken buildings.
A sense of fear washed over him as he looked at the crimson mountain peak that was just behind the desolated city.
What could've caused such damage to this place? Could the people living here had fled while this village was destroyed?
Adam came up with numerous scenarios in his head trying to explain what he was seeing with his own two eyes , A ruined city out in the middle of a desert.
Adam quickly realized that his hopes of finding someone here were thin , so he decided to looked around for somethings he could use to last longer in the blinding heat.
Yeah , I might finally be able to get some food . After he said that he looked at his black clergyman robe that had gone dirty due to the sand and sweat.
He sighed I also need to get some new clothes I can't be seen around wearing this.
He then continued forward into the village
He had seen a sign that showed the village name .
Village of Cordu.
