" Don't leave " A voice called out for Alaric " Don't...Go " The Voice repeated
" Who's there ? " It was Alaric who spoke
He was standing alone in an endless pitch-black darkness.
He tilted his head towards the voice but this time no sound came.
He waited for a moment before a cold yet warm hand grabbed the nape of his neck
"I won't let you go " The Voice growled , the voice slowly and gradually started turning alaric head.
" Aaa..aaaa.aa" Alaric screamed painfully he tried to hit the hand but nothing worked with a sudden voice of snap alaric head was turned 180°.
His vision started to blur , he tried to see the source of the voice but his vision was turning crimson.
Alaric's vision went black
A blue coloured room with windows open , Sunlight radiating brightly beside the window Alaric jerked awake , he was sweating heavily
" Not again" mumbled under his breath.
" I'm tired of this damn nightmare"
**** [ A/N: I will use this "****" for Short time skip and POV shift ( Which will happen rarely:) ]
Alaric was sitting on dinner table adjacent to alaric his butler was standing, he looked at alaric " Any problem sir ? "
"Uh...yes..no nothing just get me an Orange juice "
Butler didn't follow alaric ordered he leaned forward to look at the nape of alaric's neck.
His expression immediately turned solemn
Returning to his original position, he spoke
" Si-Sir....Your neck "
Alaric looked at butler his eyes twitched , he touched his nape with his hand " Is something wrong ? Is soap foam still there ?"
" No....sir your nape has...mark of huge hand ! "
Alaric jumped from the chair " What ?....It has never happened before "
Butler controlling his urge to touch alaric's nape spoke " Sir it's an ominous I have read somewhere that this type of mark are An omen of hard times to come "
" Can you just shut up and don't speak your nonsense conspiracy with me "
Butler looked down ashamed before he could do anything else , Alaric spoke " Now Go and get me a damn Orange juice and arrange a Carriage I'll be going somewhere"
" Yes sir...are you going to Cathedral ? "
" Indeed "
When butler finally walked away , alaric sighed " I can't let myself be terrified by this stupid Kale....why does he believe in so much damn conspiracies i should go to Cathedral before something terrible happens"
Alaric stood up and walked towards the mirror , he looked at his reflection.
His black hair long enough to cover some part of his brown ordinary eyes
He Turned on the faucet at the sink and washed his face with cold water.
When he came back to dinning table his butler was standing there with a orange juice in a glass cup.
Alaric didn't say anything he simply took the cup and finished it in one breath " Have you arranged the carriage ? "
" Yes sir " Butler replied truthfully
****
Alaric was sitting inside the carriage looking out of the window , A Car passed his carriage with a high speed " Another Noble's son "
Alaric glanced at the shining red car "How different this world is "
The driver of the carriage looked at Alaric and spoke while lowering his head as he wanted to say something from a long time
" Sir....Thank you "
Alaric raised his brow and asked " Why ?"
The driver didn't say anything immediately " Sir..because of you i-i am able to drive a carriage if it wasn't for you and if I had been found driving a carriage i would have been sentenced to death "
Alaric raised his chin proudly " Well...this is one of the reason I hate this hierarchy system you know if you are labour then you don't have access to phone booths and carriage and etc but it is what it is...now I am in hurry drive a little faster "
" Yes sir "
It only took 5 - 6 minutes when Alaric finally reached the cathedral of goddess of Nature - St.Order Cathedral.
Alaric swung open the door of the carriage and walked out calmly yet rapidly.
He took out a silver cent and tossed it to the driver , the driver grabbed the cent and bowed deeply.
Alaric was standing alone outside the cathedral where a priest more like a body guard was standing.
Priest walked towards Alaric and asked softly " Are you from Western Sector ? "
" Yes "
" Can you show me your identification and documents of your house and assets ? "
Alaric as he expected this question put his hand on his left pocket and took out a 2 thin papers " Here "
Priest took the papers and examined it carefully and read some details aloud " Alaric Xyle Age 21 owner of a glow&shine private limited and a major stock holder of red bamboo resident of Western Sector"
Priest gave the paper back to Alaric slowly "Sorry for inconvenience Mr.Xyle you know some labours also come sometimes here stating they are this and that "
" Don't worry it's okay it's a procedure at the end don't blame yourself "
Priest opened the gate of the cathedral for alaric " Please "
Alaric nodded and walked inside the cathedral " I need to meet high priest as fast as I could "
The cathedral was extraordinarily large, it was completely built of stone.
The pilgrims and statue of goddess were carved in stones and in the centre of the building.
A huge statue of goddess was built it was an indescribable statue , the only thing that was describable in that statue was the the name of the statue - Incarnation of Goddess.
Only few stone chairs were filled and the atompshere of the cathedral was silent, the smell of nature was moving with the air.
Alaric walked towards the statue where a high priest was sitting , the voice of Alaric's footsteps echoed in the whole cathedral.
Alaric stood in front of statue for a minute with closed eyes when he opened his eyes his bowed deeply and looked at the high priest
High priest looked at Alaric and asked in a low tone " Any problem son ? "
Alaric leaned forward and replied softly "Yes from the day i turned an adult I mean the day i turned 19 occasionally i started having strange nightmare and just like that today i also have the same nightmare "
" Then ? " The high priest asked in a calm tone
" But today when I was at my dining table the butler noticed that there are fingerprints forming in my nape is something wrong ? "
The high priest stood up " Don't worry Son may goddess bless you...you probably got some bad omen from someone I will pray for you come and sit beside me "
Alaric only nodded he was a believer of goddess of Nature and God of Sun.
Alaric was going to sit beside the high priest when suddenly his nape of the neck started paining.
It was a deadly pain , A pain that Alaric had never experienced before he screamed
" Aaaaaa....aaaaaa" his voice was turning more inhuman and hollow.
" What's happening to me....what I am becoming surprisingly it's giving me relief how ? And why ?.....I hope nothing goes terrible there " This was alaric's thought while he was screaming.
It was like connection between his body and consciousness has been cut
Alaric body started changing not physically but like making an outer layer.
His body started enveloping with purplish liquid looking substance but it was not liquid it was energy.
Everyone who was present in the Church including high priest started screaming out of fear.
People who were sitting at the stone chairs rushed towards the exit door of the cathedral.
Alaric finally went silent , his body completely enveloped with purplish energy which started taking shape of his body but it was definitely not alaric.
