. . . It's. . . Cold. . . But i feel the need. . . To open my eyes. . . And so i did.

*winds gushing*

I opened my eyes, and so i was greeted by the extravagant, melancholicly grim beauty of the landscape surrounding me.

The dark blue sky with it's shining stars and the moon so far out of reach, with the horizon enveloped by the aurora lining itself as far as i can see.

The blue-ish vegetations and trees with it's fruits and leaves that emits a faint blue light, and the animals around it that resembles horned cows and are covered by white fur.

In the distance, i noticed some floating piece of land and big rocks and what looks like the relics of the old civilization.

The frozen tundra i'm standing on, and snows on the distance everreaching the landscape. (Where the heck am i?)

*Clank*

(Huh?)

I tried to go forward, but i was stopped at my right feet, and only realized what i can only say as a drastic change on the unsightly view behind my back.

Withered plants, rusty metals, rotten meat, black oils and dark red blood scattered across the tattered field and craters uncountable by all fingers i have.

My right leg was below the remnants of these things, but fortunately i was able to pull it out rather easily, and so with that the black ashes scatters off from it after i shrugged it off.

I began walking forward to one of the trees to grab it's fruits, expecting the herd around it to run as soon as they saw me. Yet, they stay the same even after approaching one them to pet them. It's pretty drenched but seconds later a little bit of heat surrounded both of my hands. It's pleasant, alright. (Oops, looks like i was too immersed on the feelings, so i let my hands go from the fluffs.

Sorry, but my stomachs calling, maybe later again)

Leaving these cattles behind, i look up to the glistening frozen green-leaf tree with it's pompous condition despite the weather condition that's setting in.

I climbed on one of the big branches to take a couple of the fruit, immediately eating the first as soon as i picked one.

*Chews*

(It's not too sweet and salty, and it has this cold feeling to it, like a mint mixed with some menthol. Pretty sure that's not as healthy as it sounds, but like i got a choice with how i am currently)

Minutes gone by picking each one by one with the cattles going elsewhere after getting disinterested in the wanderer that is me, and i'm pretty stuffed even before eating meat. (*Sneezes* Ugh~. It's a wonder how the cold still ges me even after being fulfilled within). I shudder as the cold wind passes me, and then i climbed higher to get a better vantage point.

*Leaves breezed*

Facing south-west from the tree's position, i noticed a small cave between the mouth of two rivers flowing from the north.

I climbed down with difficulty as these body isn't used to the feeling of pain and cold sweat.

*Drops down*

After making a safe landing from the tree, i begin walking into the goal i'm setting for.

(It's quiet...After seeing those herbivores gone, it feels like i'm being watched by someone, or something?). While i do so, i reminded myself that the possibility of danger lurking inside is pretty high, so i grabbed some pebbles on the road beforehand.

I arrived, facing the opposite direction of the cave, hiding behind some big boulders that gave me the perfect place to hide. (*Exhales* Alright, if there's a bear inside, i'll book out if the chance were to come).

*Rock clatters*

I throw one to three pebbles second after second trying to lure out any predator that might stays inside.

... A couple of minutes later, i began descending to the cave with me bringing a big rock in case something tries to lump at me while inside. (Can't be too careful with the harsh snow making me cool down my temperature which keeps me functioning as a whole)

*Footsteps echoes*

As i set my foot inside, i sneak to make sure i am able to hear other sounds that could indicate a predator is residing within. (Who cares if it isn't good for the soul? As long as i'm not dead, i can take care of that on my own)

At some point, lights from all directions seeps in and exposes me to the brim. (The Hell?!)

You'd think that there's only be darkness in a cave, but fortunately i was greeted by green and yellow lights from mushrooms and plants covering the walls of the cave.

(*sighs* False Alarm, For Now)

I slumped on the wall, sitting with my legs straight as i try to think everything from my awakening.

(Who am i?

Why am i here?

What time is today?

Where is here?

What is the remnant that was behind me?

Am i the reason for it or was i just participating in it?

How did i even know all of these things?)

Questions only adding up time after time, and then i felt a sudden surge like electrics storming in on my head. A headache, precisely at my forehead, like a hammer putting up a nail on a wall. (AGH, What Is It?!)

*Ears Tinnitus*

As i try to think, my head feels heavy, my eyes are blurry, my body trembles and so i felt a sudden thud from the right.(I can't... muster up any strength... to lift... my... body. . . I. . . feel. . . sleepy. . .This feels . . . nostalgic for. . . whatever. . . reason. . . . .)
