Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 - Pinky and Me

Somehow this odd, small, faceless tree seems to take a great liking to me. The other faceless trees seemed to like me as well but they won't go near me unlike Pinky.

Pinky's leaves are pink. I cannot properly describe Pinky but it looks like a child with a dyed hair that goes in different directions.

Pinky is adorable.

I tried touching it and it stood still. Somehow I can understand it.

I tried touching its branches and leaves and somehow it feels like an ordinary tree.

Pinky somehow enjoys being touched and made some weird sounds.

I got distracted.

I should probably try to go back inside the gate. Somehow I tried peeking and it looks like the creature-like people are minding their own business.

I am intrigued.

I mean, they looked like people but somehow..

CUSS WORD! WHO TOUCHED ME??!!

Somehow the gate suddenly got some sort of arms and tried to grab me. Pinky's branches somehow grew unexpectedly and it seems like it's hitting the gate while squealing.

The gate somehow groaned and tried to fight off the branches. There are several squealing faceless trees behind me and they in turn grew their branches and tried to hit the gate.

It looks funny and at the same time, I feel sorry for the gate.

Thanks Pinky and to your family (?) as well.

I resumed my observation.

The creature-like people somehow looked like some parts of humans are attached to animal-like or alien-like I don't know how to particularly describe them.

They don't look the same.

There was a creature who looks like a giant triangle with eyes all over it's body that's floating. And yes, some of the eyes are looking in another direction while the others are either blinking or are closed. Fascinating.

I saw another creature who has a body like a panther but has several small wings on its back and has a face like a human though its ears are somehow pointed.

What amazes me is the fact that it's night time but somehow it's not dark at all but bright as day though the sky is dark violet-blue. It's so hard to describe it. It's very different from what humans experienced on earth. It's completely different, not like what I usually read about whether in fantasy novels or even in science books.

Oohh. There's a small owl-like creature with only one eye flying around. Somehow, I'm not too fond of that.

Pinky and the gate must have agreed to a truce since they stopped fighting and was just dancing (?) somehow.

I decided to move and try to peak from another angle.

What I saw was definitely hard to imagine and describe.

It's unbelievable.

There are several floating buildings with floating lights all over, trees that are so tall that the tops are covered with what looks like a cloud, creatures floating or flying all over, buildings and houses that has no exact shape, so many strange creatures crawling, walking or riding in what seems to be a strange contraption with no wheels.

I don't particularly hear a language being spoken of some sorts since they sounded like squeaks, hums, growling, rumble or just noises.

But some of the creatures I saw looked.. gorgeous.... Beautiful.... Lovely....

I saw a creature that looked almost like a human except it has a long tail and hair that seems to have a mind on his own. But the eyes looked.... Breathtaking.

The creature seems to float on air and wore strange clothing that has a long cape. The cape looks like the sea under a night sky.

The hair of the creature seems human like, with golden hair except it seems to move on its own. But the eyes, the eyes of the creature mesmerized me. Each eye has different colors. The right one is red while the left one is gold. They seemed to stare at something until I realized that the creature is staring AT me.

Cuss word.

Pinky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I screamed silently (of course) while I hurriedly crawled away from my hiding place.

Fortunately, Pinky seemed to noticed my distress that it tried to grew its branches as a sort of effort to hide me. The rest of Pinky's family followed suit and tried to grow their branches as well. Some branches even started flowering.

I tried holding Pinky while it tried its best to cover me. The creature with the different colored eyes frowned slightly and its hair stopped moving.

Ah. I'm screwed.

While the creature slowly floated towards me, my tears starting falling. I used to hate female characters in the novels that cried easily and always thought they are cringey.

I couldn't be more wrong. I want to hit myself.

I AM scared out of my wits. Here I am, in a strange world, where I'm not familiar with, and I don't know anyone except maybe the fact that I somehow befriended the faceless trees.

I am tired. I am hungry. I don't know why I am here or what happened in my previous world that I ended up here.

I am afraid, whether from dying an unknown death or suffering from something worse than death, I don't know.

I wanted to take back what I said about those characters in the novels I read.

It's not easy trying to find out where you are or trying to understand where you are.

I myself cannot completely describe well what I see and I bet any human cannot fully comprehend if they see what I saw.

The creature with the golden hair silently moved slowly towards me. Now that he is nearer, I can see more of its features.

His face looks human like but he has ears that is a bit pointed. His eyes are emotionless but they looked mesmerizing. He has a long, slender body with a long tail. His hair is long, golden, with a mind of its own, with several braids.

He wore several jewelry such as earrings on his ears and some necklaces, bracelets and rings that looked magical and a bit scary.

The way the creature moved seem like a lion trying to catch his prey.

The prey is me.

I realized somehow late, that I was staring at the lion-like creature so hard that it hasn't sunk in my brain that the reason why I can describe him better is because he is in front of me.

I'm dead.
