Lucid Dream: Wonderland
03 - Strange Man with Long Hair

I took a long breath. Turning my body around, glancing around aggressively, trying to find something uncertain.

Oh my God, how did this happen? I squeezed my hair with both hands, hoping I felt pain and woke up as usual. But, nil, nothing happened.

Tired of my legs and my spirit decreased, instead despairing overcame me. Right, I didn't wake up from this nightmare.

Just a moment ago, I woke up excitedly. A messy room with three computer screens in front of me, how could it possibly be replaced with an empty land surrounded by tall trees and a blue sky that stretched out like this?!

Not until there, the weird guy with the long hair I saw last night is still here. Sleep with ease, equipped with a small waist bag cumbersome.

Oh, my God, don't joke. Whoever you are is taking me to this fantasy world in the middle of nowhere, damn you! Give me back where I came from. My inner pity, he has already suffered that much.

"Are you done? We don't have much time" the man got up from his sleep, picked up his bag and patted him from the dust. Wo-woahh, he's tall too. Wh-what does he want to do?

"Ck, who are you, why keep clinging to me?" I asked in an annoyed tone, while slightly on my tiptoes trying to match her height.

"Once done" he answered briefly in a flat tone. Ah, I can feel my age reduced by 13 years 7 months 9 days. Weird guy.

"Come, it's time to go. I don't want to meet those annoying creatures" he said, starting to talk about other weird, bullshit stuff.

Why is he acting so arbitrarily to me? we don't even know each other.

"What right do you have to take me away, huh?" I half shouted.

"Well, the truth is you have no choice but to refuse. You must understand what I mean" he said, returning some small items back into his shabby black bag.

I really don't have a choice. Trapped here or following him. If I find him as a criminal, then I can find a way to escape.

But another thing if I stay here. In an unknown place, full of strange creatures. Seeing the condition of this place, there should be a lot of wild animals gathered. Well, I really don't have a choice.

"How's it?" tanyanya after finishing cleaning her belongings .

"Ck, okay. But when you get caught as a criminal, I'll-" unfinished sentences you say right in the cut. There is no adab.

"Yes, whatever" cut it off with an innocent flat face.

***

The awkward journey begins. Only the sound of my feet on the ground could be heard.

Oh, my God, I'm so bored. There's a tree, here's a tree. We look like bad boys who get punished standing in the middle of the school field. While the trees surrounding this wasteland, it looked like the students were talking badly about us.

Strange place, why do the trees in this place look so big? Or am I the only one who looks small here.

BUKKK...

Because I was walking half-down, I didn't know this freak stopped walking.

Sucks. What's wrong with her?

" Why did you stop all of a sudden?!" gertutuku put on an annoyed face .

"Damn it" he said briefly.

"D-damn it? Who are you calling fucking huh?" I said I don't accept being called that .

"look ahead Cheaper" he said, then shifted the position of my head to the place he pointed to roughly until my bones made a sound.

I narrowed my eyes to see it clearly, because the sunlight made a reflection on that thing. Of water? Why is it so red.

Ah, horrible. I just realized it. A pool of red that was nothing but blood scattered at some point, not far from there I saw the carcass of a still fresh animal with some ravenous crows.

Torn bodies and blood everywhere. It is no longer clear which head is which leg. God, how could they have such a fate?!

"I'll make sure of something, wait here" said the man then walked towards one of the animal carcasses not far from us.

"What's up?" askaku after seeing the look of an annoyed face in his pair after checking one of the carcasses .

"We have to go, they have come" he said furiously .

"Who's coming?!" my question was as soon as I caught up with him who started running towards the Redwood forest that was close to the trees.

"You'll know if you see it in person" he shouted far ahead. Why is he so fast?

Not until we were in the area with the trees close together, a roar sounded loud and terrifying. Oh my God, what is that sound?!

"Quick chatty. Don't let him find us" he urged me with annoyance. Shitty, chatty? who did he call that?!

***

We arrived and hid directly among the big trees. I catch my breath, running at full speed like that makes the chest of this small body tight.

I sat leaning against a tree, my legs shivering from being forced to do what he couldn't. Hahh, I'm not used to this body.

"Great creature" he answered briefly.

"What did you do until such a big creature followed?" ask again.

"What can I do? Shut up and they'll find us. Then, I also have a name, stop calling me like we've known you for a long time. Just call Almach" he said, staring out at the empty land where we had come.

"Omong empty. You yourself also call me chatty, oi, damn it.." I said no.

"Then what should I call you besides that?" his face put on an annoyed face.

"Ck, Lucifer, maybe" I hesitated.

"Maybe?!" he said full of search.

"Gosh, I don't even know. This strange place is not where I come from, where maybe I live in a terrible place like this" I said then unintentionally shouted loudly .

An-no, Almach looked at me furiously, his forehead wrinkled and then he smiled with his psycho. What the fuck is that horrible face? Am I wrong?

"You just told him where we're hiding" Almach said in a cold tone.

I gulped, what? no one has come since?!  I wanted to say it like that, but the loud snoring made my body shake violently .

I point my gaze forward. Jeez, cold sweat instantly poured out great. Damn, my feet can't be moved. I bit my lower lip, choosing to lower my head. Horrible when having to deal with the giant three-headed creature.

***

"Oii.." Almach's scream was heard from across the street. Since when was he there? He stood with sturdy horses and with a beautiful silver sword. Don't tell me that he's gonna challenge this thing.

An Auman sounded deafening, he accepted the challenge? aren't we. Damn, how could I be a coward at a time like this? Stand and give no resistance.

Look at the saliva coming out from between his pointed teeth, terrible. It felt like my teeth could shake my head.

Cerberus, the big three-headed dog with a breath of fire. That too if it applies here, he is the pet of the God Hades. God, whatever world this is, how could such a monstrous animal possibly live?

My body slowly improved, although cold sweat was still pouring out. With my body still trembling, I walked slowly, hid among the trees and noticed the Almach who was challenging Cerberus.

***

"Oi, you're not helping him" this voice? the voice that sounded in my head that day. I swallowed again. God, it looks like I'm really out of my mind.

"You're not crazy" continued the voice as if it knew my thoughts.

"Who are you?" tanyaku.

"I'm um, that black creature you call terrible. When viewed from the outside, I am very handsome. Hey, I was offended at the time" he replied with self-confidence.

"The black body is yours?" ask me again even distracted by the voice that echoed in my head.

"Yes, by the way I asked permission to hitch a ride on your body" he said in a flat tone. Oii, do you think this is an easy problem that can be solved by saying 'yes' from me so?!

"When it's too late, you have to accept me."

"That's how" he answered briefly. I guess he could read my mind.

"Foolish, I knew it from the beginning. Ck, suck. Rather than that, you didn't help him?" then change the topic.

Ah right too, there is a more important matter. Even though he's muscular, I'm not sure he can win. Which human could stand against such a large three-headed creature?

"Come closer" urged the voice.

"For what? I don't want to be fucked" I said.

"You want him dead?" continue that voice.

"Ck, alright, shut up! don't be noisy in my head, it's uncomfortable."

***

Slowly and with a definite step, I approached where Almach was standing, right behind the first row of trees facing the empty land.

Well, since he just dodged the attack, I guess Cerberus was too strong to fight.

Several times I have also been amazed, that sword! the sword could deflect the direction of the fire attack from Cerberus in the other direction.

Moments after that, the three heads of Cerberus roared horribly. Oh my God, what else is this?! My feelings are not good. I think they're getting pissed off.

Their bodies were enlarged, the fangs that seemed to be easily able to tear apart the frail human body were growing larger and larger.

Their terrifying sounding roars grew even more terrifying and gave off a powerful aura of intimidation. Damn, what is this bad sight?!

My eyes don't wink at the monster's growth. Once again I gulped, my cold sweat continued to pour out profusely.
