The First Call

As i regained my conciousness, i opened my eyes and saw the sky turning red because of the sun's setting. My body, as it was laying on the soft and yet hot sand, was in pain. I'm guessing it was from the explosion from the warship. It left a pretty hot mark for me to remember. I couldn't move a single muscle, it's getting hard for me to even breathe.

"Kruaaaaaah" a sound of chackling whistle filled my ears with it's loud noise., the sound of 'Calahan'. They say they're the creatures that protect Aridorn's wasteland. With a height of a stagereing 6 foot, uncanny black body, long arms and feet, distorted Skull, black eyes, and razor Sharp tail. It travels under the sand by swimming on it, which allows them to travel about 2 miles per hour.

The sound came closer to me with every sand that spreaded through the wind. And suddenly it stopped.

Four Calahan appeared beside me while i was lying on the sand, not being able to move a single muscle.

'looks like i'll die here' i thought. There was no spread of hope for me to survive at this point.

'sorry Amy, i couldn't keep my promise'. The vow that we Made might just end here.

"Child of the west"

"!!" A sound of a young girl appeared somewhere. It sounded gentle and yet, it Made the Chalans stop at their steps.

A ghostly figure appear before me, With long hair and wearing white robe. She stood before the Chalahans. And with murderous eyes she looked at the Chalahans and said silently.

"Be gone"

The Chalahans, after hearing it, immediately retreated to the sand where they once came.

She looked at me and smiled as if she was replied that i was safe. She touched my forehead and chanted a word "Alsyar Gaib". My wounds healed in an instant as if she was never there.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"W-who are you?"

She looked at me once again and turned around. She started walking on the sand filled storm, and slowly but surely, she dissapeared.

I was left speechless. She dissapeared right infeontof me, just like that.

I observed my surrounding only to notice myself on the deserted grounds outside of the wall.

Around me were the corpses of the Martians that were once on the ships, spread across the waste land's Sandy Grave, waiting to be eaten by the Chalahans.

Although they're dead now, they're gear can still be used. The temperature conditioning on the suits makes it not to hot while walking on the waste land. They're weapons like swords, plasma gun, Etc. It also provided material to survive here (just water and a Mium Lighter).

Luckily, a Giant rock can be seen not far from here. The structure resembles a cave, just big enough for me to try setting camp in it.

As i arrived and went inside the Giant rock, it was huge i thought. There's a Giant hole in the middle which reflect allows the sun's light and the moonlight to go in.

I activated the Mium Lighter, a device used for by the Martians to light up the dark. This device is often used to set up light around dark enclosed space to track down the place they've gone through.

The soft sand Made it comfortable for me to rest and recover.

As i become comfortable with my surroundings, i began to feel tired. Is it from exhaustion? I ask myself. That is most likely the case.

Seconds by seconds, i could feel exhaustion taking over my body as i couldn't keep my eyes open and keep up my conciousness.

Zzzzzz. And so i fell asleep

I began to be able to move my limbs. But also felt that i couldn't. It felt weird, as if they didn't exist.

I opened my eyes and see nothing, i could've sworn that i opened my eyes, but it was still dark.

"The child of west"

A blink of an eye, the girl in white robe appeared before my eyes looking eye to eye. Her eyes were wide open and fully black.

"Child of the west"

"What?" I ask

"Child of the west"

"Why are you calling me that?" I ask again

"Child of the west" it said again as it grabbed my hand.

I couldn't move body, but i could still talk. "i was completely vulnerable to any attack that girl Will use" i thought.

The girl reached out her right hand towards my face. Out of fear i shouted while closing my eyes"

"Stop!" I shouted. And suddenly, the air around me seemed to stop.

I opened my eyes to see that the girl had also stopped moving, i couldn't even feel her breathing.

I came up with a theory

"Get away" i say

The girl listened to my words and got a way from me. Not only that, i couldn't feel the air around me anymore. Even the voice itself got away from me.

It was then that i realised

I can controll this space!
