"●○•▪︎•°□!" (????)

'Ugh...Huh?' (Gallant)

I suddenly wake up in slight pain and confusion as I stared at nothing but darkness, however the darkness as of right now was of little importance with my mind currently feeling fuzzy and unfocused which in turn threw my heightened senses into chaotic incomprehensible nonsense that my mind just couldn't process, causing me to not even sense my surroundings clearly...well somewhat clearly

"●○•▪︎•°□!" (????)

And all that loud noise grinding at the back of my head isn't helping me concentrate at all

Damn even the smell in the air is bad, like some rotten corpse was left right in front of me, attacking my sense of smell causing me to feel nauseous and sick to my stomach

Worse yet I could feel everything in my surroundings moving, I even felt the inside of my body moving, which fed my mind more nonsense overwhelming its current overburdened capacity

"●○•▪︎•°□!" (????)

However after some time my mind slowly turned less chaotic allowing my heightened senses to process my surroundings in a less chaotic form

'Concentrate Gallant, concentrate...' (Gallant)

"●r• ▪︎o• o□ay." (Un?n?wn)

"Huh?" (Gallant)

"I sai○ a-are y¤u °kay." (Unknown)

"Uh...yeah...I guess?" (Gallant)

"Sigh* you had u-us all w-worried there f-for a bit." (Unknown)

After clearing my head of the chaotic senses overwhelming me I tried sensing my current surroundings until an unknown person whose voice sounded like that of a young woman, she started talking to me which was kind of weird as I was kind of used to all the sneers and abuse I was subjected to these past 'few' months

Sigh*

Anyways I will get back to that unknown person later first I needed to know where I am, as clearly I am not in the dungeon right now

Fush*

Spreading my senses up to my current limit of 5 metres(16 feet 4.85 inches) I sensed multiple signatures of living beings surrounding me in a small, cramped, dirty and unbearably smelly...

'Wagon?' (Gallant)

Yes as of right now I was in a moving wagon filled with a bunch of random adults and...children!?

Sensing the blurry clothed figures of the people within my observation I noticed that their colors were different from the usual red colors the guards back in the dungeon had, some were whitish others were green heck there were even pink colored figures too, but if I ignore the weird colors all around, all in all there were about 5 adults and 4 children, plus me apparently

'Uh what does this mean?' (Gallant)

"H-Hey a-are you...n-not feeling w-well?" (Unknown young woman)

The same young woman from before called out to me again soundng very worried I could even feel a touch of sympathy in her tone, following the direction of the voice my senses evidently locked eyes with a green coherent glowing figure of a slender woman who by her height seems to be in her 16-17 I think? she wore simple ragged up boots and a plain slightly torn up dress that was the same color as her glowing green figure

Anyways how do I answer her question, hmm? first lets ask her where I am first and where we are going

"Uh y-yes...uh do you know...w-were we are g-going...uhm miss?" (Gallant)

Damn not being in contact with people I could actually talk to is really making me sound like a scared kid, which is not entirely wrong but still...

"Oh y-you can call m-me Willow...and we are currently o-on a wagon." (Willow)

.....

"And?" (Gallant)

"O-oh uh as to w-where we are g-going well I d-don't know?" (Willow)

My mind turned blank trying to process Miss Willows answer

Sigh*

'Great.' (Gallant)

Unable to get any further information from the kind stuttering Miss Willow I stood up from the floor while spreading my senses out towards the place where an opening on the walls of the wagon were suposed to be placed trying to find a way to escape, however the openings were bard in some kind of hard cage shaped? material blocking my escape to freedom

"Its no use." (Miss Willow)

"Huh?" (Gallant)

"There i-is n-no escape t-the wagon i-is m-made of black i-iron which is s-stronger than iron but weaker than s-steel and i-is a-also inscribed in magic n-negation inscriptions." (Miss Willow)

Miss Willow said in a tone of resignation fully accepting the fact that there was no escape

As I 'looked' towards the other figures in the wagon even though I couldn't 'see' them clearly, I sensed a fowl mood of defeat spread around me, especially from the adults which in turn affected the children into giving up hope of ever getting free

'They gave up.' (Gallant)

Although I have the mentality of an adult I was also somewhat affected by the mood in the wagon, so I Sat back down onto the floor leaning against the wagons wall trying to clear my head of these fowl emotion affecting me by distracting myself with something productive instead of moping around doing nothing

'First lets figure out how I got here in the first place...but uhm how do I do that hmm?" (Gallant)

I thought about it for a few minutes until I finally got a crazy but more feasible idea that could work

'Lets try it, it may sound completely stupid but it's worth the try if noting else." (Gallant)

Sigh*

I closed my eyes 'even though I didn't have to' and thought back to the time I lost consciousness in the dungeon as although I did lose consciousness and double blacked out 'because i'm blind' my body was still active and fully functional so I tried testing out a theory I had just come up with and tried thinking about the feeling I had after I blacked out rather than the memories

But nothing came up...until...

'••○○●□•°¤.....' (????)

I remember...unknown...sounds...?

Bang!*

A touch...or perhaps pain...?

Sniff...sniff

Ugh damn a smell that reeks corpses...

After a while my mind started to sting in a bit of pain which I quickly took as a sign to stop my action

Sigh*

'Seems like the theory is possible but the limits of its practicality lies in my current strength.' (Gallant)

The theory I had come up with was by using muscle memory as an example, so instead of trying to remember the memories of the moments after I past out with my blacked out mind I thought about using my enhanced senses to remember the sounds and feelings of what exactly happened to my unconscious body

Just like how muscles can remember surtain actions when repeated enough I thought that I could do the same with my senses and with the {Enhanced Senses} skill I thought the last memory would have been remembered faster than normal so I don't have to repeat the same actions

Sigh*

'It was a long shot but at least I got something out of it.' (Gallant)

After trying to remember what happened and failed while gaining some ways to use my skill a little more, I stopped trying and waited patiently for the wagon the reach its destination

'Lets hope Fate has something that will help me get stronger by the end of this road.' (Gallant)
