Chapter 1-2 : Crash Landing, Alustriel, and Divine Snake

With the speed and the position of my body, i'm sure it will be a very painfull landing. If can survive the landing that is. I tried to position my falling position into a stand up position with my feet close and i point it to the ground, the falling speed reach another increase. I try my best to make my falling into the water, hoping the water around is a deep one. I spin my body to landing in the deeper coloured part of the water, from my knowledge the deeper the colour the deeper the water.

Few kilometers above the water, i can feel Alustriel awaken from her sleep. I try to contact her inside my mind and give her the memories of my conversations with the creator and how we died. In a few seconds she got all the the information and we tried to synchronize our mind to create a physical manifestation to create something that can save us from this certain death free fall.

We need something that hard and can protect us from the momentum of the fall! How about bubbles? Thousands of bubbles into a suit and make it a round one. (Alustriel)

The one from the TV advertisement not too long ago? You want to make me looks like a maschot from a tyre advertisment and modified the suit in to a ball? (Me)

Yes! (Alustriel)

Well considering the chance of the survival, that was the best choice. But we need to imagine the materials of the bubble so it can handle the crash without blown up. And also because we are already death once, call me Ghost now. (Ghost)

Ghost, huh? Neat name. (Alustriel)

With that out of the way, we start imagining the balloon suit manifestation, it start to manifest and englufing my body fully with it's rubberlike substance that i was sure is more durable than any rubber out there. The descending speed started to decreased because of the air friction with the balloon suit. I can't see anything from inside the ballon suit but i still can feel the descreasing of speed and the movement of the balloon suit when rotating around. It starting to make me sick, but this is our best chance of survival. Suddenly i can feel the balloon suit crash into something soild, the impact can be felt from nside but not to the point of unbearable. Because how tight the balloon suit engulfing my body, I didn't get any deep wound or bruise. After crashing and rolling a few times the balloon suit finally stop moving, deciding this is the best time to remove it. We unmanifest it, and water start to coming in a fast way. I try to swim up and finally getting out of the water surface, taking a deep breath I look around and notice we fall right in the middle of the waterfalls pool point. It's close to the circle with the dirt path that going through the forest that lead to the town or city or whatever is that place.

Swimming to the nearest shore, i get out of the water. My clothes all wet, and it seems i'm back wearing the same shirt and pants when i'm died. Deciding to take a rest, i let Alustriel manifest in her phisycal human body form. She is the perfect definition of a perfect woman, she have same height as me. Her body looks like sculpted to perfection, her skin is pale white, have silver long hair that flows to her waist, her golden eyes that looks like it can shine in the dark, her breast that not too big nor too small for her height. Everything is perfect, like a goddess descend from the heaven. She is Alustriel my other conciusness, the one that share the same soul as me and body until our death. Now she can manifest herself in the world, I don't know what people reaction when see me walking with her together. After all I look like an average guy with long brown hair till my shoulder that was tied into ponytail, thin eyebrows, thin lips, a bit feminine face, brown eyes, and 5ft height. And also i'm an Asian breed, so my skin colour a bit yellowish white.

Drying myself, i decided to look arund the place with Alustriel close behind me also looking around. Oh, Alustriel is not naked mind you. She is wearing white summer one piece dress. Looking around the place i notice there is a shrine gate in front of a cave right at the point between two waterfalls, if you don't look it precisely you will miss it because the amount of water flowing close to the gate hindering the sight of the gate. Telling Alustriel with mind probe, we decided to check up on the shrine gate. Walking close to the gate, we got wet by the amount of water that falls from the top. Deciding not to look on Alustriel wet form, i keep look ahead to see where the gate leads to. Standing in front of the gate, i can see it's a cave. The cave is big and not formed naturally, why said that? Because the surface of the cave is too smooth, the walls of the cave make a perfect circle. Something huge must be dig the walls, not knowing it's safe or not I decided to throw a stone inside.

I can hear the stone hitting the floor of the cave a few times, and suddenly it's quiet. With the way i throw the stone, it should not be stopped with the range of the last echo. Something must be making the stone momentum broken, thinking about that I'm too late to notice a pair of golden slitted eyes staring right on us from inside the cave.

Who dares to throw a stone at my house! You humans dare to challenge me a Divine Snake of Water to a game?!
