"Oh, what is this?". A mass of stars questions.
It's 'hand' simmers, a pillar of energy engulfs the thing he is questioning.
Vwoom*
Noise pounces in the void.
"A soul" it mumbles, it howled in excitement, the stars it is made of 'jumped' with joy, he switch the souls and himselfs positions.
"Six, souls". He speaks to himself.
Using the same energy as before, he gathers them together.
"What to do?" He thinks.
He chooses to read their past.
After doing so, he analizes their wishes.
'I want to be reborn'. Glowing blue at the influence of this star god.
He analizes the others.
'I want power'
'I want to live'
'I'll live up to your expectations!'
'I am at peace'
'I want to live'
Analizing them throughly, the star gos ponders.
'2 want to live, 1 wants to live up to an expectation, another wants peace, the other wishes the same as the others."
'Since most of them wish to live, that is what I'll give!' The stars woven like arms rise, galaxies separate.
The souls shimmer with a glow unseen by any mortal.
"Boons shall be granted". A voice of upmost benevolence bends space and time, disturbing cosmic order.
A solar flare embraces the souls.
Transferring them to a far away land
-Unknown Land-
I wipe the crust from my eyes, the memory of me being hit by that psycho quickly jolt me awake. Breathing in fresh air I properly open my eyes.
Looking around I see trees and plants, lots of foliage.
'Where am I?, a forest. Did that fuck drag me here?". I lift myself up, feeling much stronger than I ever have.
Now in a sitting position a rip the flower next to me out of the ground.
"A lily?" I say aloud, its purple with a white inner leaf, its shape reminds me of the white lily's I had bought my ex girlfriend.
Instead of trodding about I decide to scan my surroundings from my current position.
"A young girl". To my left slept a young girl that look around 7-9, she is wearing a fancy dress. I look to my right and see a relatively old man, seems to be around 30-45, he wore a basic outfit you'd see in a wuxia novel.
Yawn*
The girl to my left yawned, it seems she's about to wake up, I check myself making sure I am fully dressed, I am wearing the exact same outfit as the middle aged man.
While I was doing that, I saw a boot, I crawl closer.
"An actual old man, he is closer than the others, should I wake him?" I question, thinking he might have answers.
'No, there might be more people'. So I gaze around some more and fine 3 more people, I couldn't see anymore.
'Same question again, where am I and who are these people'? I think to myself.
I fidget with the flower I am holding.
'No, I haven't got the time to think, I must help these people'. I quickly stand up, I head to the young girl first, making sure she still slept, which she is.
Having spent some time in medical school I had some knowledge, so I could check the conditions of these people.
They were all as healthy as I currently felt.
"I should bring those two closer". I look towards the young boys, picking them up I place them nearer to the old man sleeping near the tree.
Having tired myself afternlifting them I sit down upon a small stubbed rock.
Sigh*
'At least some of my basic knowledge came into some use'.
*Time Passes*
'I have been here for 30 minutes, well for what I assume to be thirty minutes, yet I'm the only one awake'.
As if hearing my plea, I hear a fidget, I was now leaning against a tree, closer to the group, but enough to see if anything dangerous might approach.
The noise came from the tree the old man was up against.
I look to him, he is rubbing his eyes, half awake he looks around and says;
"Where am I?". The old man began to lean up, he began to enter a state of confusion.
Before he would go haywire with his thinking I immediately greeted him.
I stand.
"Hey there, I don't know too much about what is happening, you seem just as confused, so let's wait for the others". I say while gesturing around to show him the location of the others.
Since he had just woken up he might be slightly air headed, is what I thought but he soaked in the information quite easily.
"Hmm, so there's 4 others, seems we are in the middle of some forest", I guess we are all lost. I nod at his comments.
"Yes, I haven't ventured much since, I don't want to get lost or seriously injured.".
The old man thinks.
"Is there any food or water sources about?, have u spotted any?".
He asks me a question I was stupid enough to forget.
"N..no". I embarrassingly say, my nervousness flared.
"Haaa". The old man sighs.
"You stay here". The old,an lifts himself from the ground.
"I hiked most of my life, I'm sure I'll spot some edible herbs and berries". After standing up he gets a good understanding of the other people.
"Even two youngsters." The old man mumbles.
He walks to me.
"My names Renard, yours?". He says looking into my eye while gesturing a hand shake.
Out of nervousness I stand there for a moment, but quickly realising this I accept his hand shake.
"My name is Leon, good to meet you!". We both greet each other with smiles.
"Good!" Ending our hand shake he walks beside me and pats my shoulder.
"Stay here, I'll be back soon, make sure you treat the children with calmness if they wake, I'm sure the other two will only have a little distraught".
He walks off into the opening I feared to enter.
Old man's POV
'This must be the afterlife, these trees do not exist on earth, such magical bark'.
The old man admired the artistic style of the bark, as if an immortal god had hand painted it.
'Even these flowers, they look so carefully formulated, as if they are not natural'.
He continues his search.
'My body feels as if I regressed bakx into my 20s, yet I still look old'.
He glances to his hands as he walked.
He has not found anything he deemed edible, some plants mimicked some from earth yet most were other worldly, he didn't want to take any chances.
He continued.
'A clearance?' Having been setting small stone pillars as waypoints to guide him back he wasn't too scared to look around.
To his left was an opening while his right was filled him foliage and thorns.
'I'll check it'. Entering it he immediately spots a blackberry bush.
He notes the path down in his mind, almost supernaturally.
'Good, some food, easier to find than I thought, best to get back since I said I wouldn't be long, finding one thing is better than none'. He thinks to himself.
Going back was twice as fast as find the place, he swiftly returned.
-Return to true POV
"You've returned so quickly". I spot the old man and jog to him.
He shrugs.
"Only because I'm used to such situations he says without much thought". I nod in respect.
"The knowledge I know is just picked up from experience don't expect much, I'll be sure to do my best though". He mentions, his voice echoed with a Prevalent kindness.
Vroom*
We both hear a strong gust of wind, Renard looks to the previously sleeping people
The strong gust was felt by the dreamers.
