“Chirp, Chirp, Chirp!”

The eyelids of a small boy, can be seen flickering.

“Chirp, Chirp, Chirp!!”

“Ugh.” The small boy starts to groan, as he trashes around.

“Chirp, Chirp, Chirp!!!”

The eyelids of the boy finally opens itself, like the gates of heaven revealing a colorful light blue iris, his gaze though seems confused. He looks around and quickly notices the greenery, that is surrounding him as well as the culprit to his awakening, a bird of red color with a orange beak is staring down on him from atop his own head.

From the eyes of the colorful bird, you could see a clean and fresh boy with ordinary features and blonde hair. The boy has an ordinary round silver earring on his right ear which made him a little cute if outsider were to see him.

Back to reality, the boy finished asserting his surroundings and found himself leaning on a dark brown tree bark from a seemingly endless tree.

“Arghh!”

Just as he was about to get up, a splitting headache started to appear and made the boy fall flat on his butt as an unimaginably pain starts taking control of his body forcing him into submission as he trashed wild around , causing the red bird to fly away in surprise.

He felt his conscious slipping away again… Back to the darkness he was once in before. This realization made him fight with a new found determination, like a candle against the winds. He holds on for dear life.

But just as the darkness starts to engulf him, the boy heard a strange deep voice calling a word in his mind.

“HELIAY”

And this voice forces the darkness like a sun away.

“Huff Huff…” The boy lies flat in the lush grass and takes deep breathes.

‘Heliay… Why does that word feel so familiar? Like I heard it everyday?’ The Boy starts wondering.

“It seems like a name… like my name?” Heliay seems to come to a realization as he ponders aloud.

“And that voice, it seemed so familiar yet so distant… Why can’t I remember? Why can’t I remember at all?”

“Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?” These words, and thoughts are surrounding Heliay, as he stares at the cloudless sky above him.

Just as he let these thoughts roam free, he notices the red Bird landing on his head once again, looking down on him with curios eyes.

“Its you again?” Heliay seemed surprised. And with the intervention of the bird the wildly roaming thoughts were put to the back of his mind.

“growl” Just as he was about to speak more his stomach starts to growl and a feeling of Hunger starts to swell up.

“Argh, this Hunger is killing me” Heliay ponders, as he looks around in search of food.

“Chirp!” The bird seemed to notice his unrest, it began to fly in a certain direction while making a stop after a few meters, as though it seemed to wait for Heliay to come with it.

After making sure that Heliay follows, the bird took of and flew through the lush forest.

‘Where is this bird taking me?’ Heliay follows with uncertain steps and confusion written over his face. After following the bird for about 5 minutes the bird lands on a small branch of a bush.

On a closer look one could see some small purplish- blue berries on the bush. Heliay notices it too and starts to make his way to the bush where the bird resides.

“Is this where you wanted to take me?” Heliay seemed surprised at the intelligence of the small bird.

The small bird tilted its head and looked, as if not understanding what the person in front of it was saying.

After that little interaction with the bird Heliay started to pay attention to the reason he was here, the berries. Grabbing one of the front branch, examining its appearance and odor it gives off. If one had to compare the berries to a fruit on earth one would say that its smell and appearance is similar to the plum on Earth but just smaller.

“Growl” the examination of the berries seemed to make my Hunger only worse. So without further ado I grabbed a few of the berries and shoved them quickly into my mouth as if my life depended on it. In an instant I was assaulted of the freshness and bitter-sweet flavor of the berries.

“Hmm how delicious I could eat them all day long” after eating his full of the Berries Heliay decided to thank his savior who showed him these heavenly fruits.

“Thanks Uh… Birdie”

“Chirp?”

Birdie seemed surprised of the sudden declaration of a name and was taken aback but nevertheless seems to acknowledged the name and the thanks. After making sure I got my fill, its time for a well deserved sleep.

And as soon as the thoughts arise he felt his mind drifting away taking him back to the realm of the dreams.
