《Re:Immortal》3. Don't trust the villagers
Advertisement
Who am I? Why am I here? I shouldn’t be here. I have better things to do… I won’t be crushed again. I won’t be killed again… Never again… I’m immortal. I’m immortal, I won’t die. Never again… I will never die. I am the god.
“You shouldn’t pray in places like this Adam.” a playful voice of a girl escaped the void.
Where am I? Am I sleeping? I don’t remember much… Flowers, a small shrine, and a goddess… Goddess of life… Why was I feeling bad? Who am I? Adam… Adam? Am I a boy? I’m not a boy, I’m sure…
“Don’t trust the villagers Adam.” one more time I heard a girl’s voice, and then she started laughing. At first her laugh was quiet, almost non-existent, but after a while it became louder, and crazier.
Who… What is this?
“Adam! Adam! Can you see me?!” Anna was calling me.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on her knees. I felt bad, my hands were trembling, and I had a fever. I felt so hot…
“Adam!” the girl shouted one more time.
“I c-can hear you. There is no reason to shout.” I said, and she started crying.
W-What happened? I came here with her, to this shrine… She told me to pray with her, so I did just that. When I folded my hands, I felt something… Something scary. As if I was hated, as if this shrine was rejecting me.
“W-What happened to you?! You suddenly collapsed! Have Jacob done something to you? Were you tired?” the girl was talking all the time, only making my fever worse.
My fever… What fever? I don’t feel hot at all. I don’t feel bad.
“Let me take a look at your head. You have fallen on the rocks. Something might have happened to you!”

I have fallen on what?
The girl took a good look at my body. She wanted to make sure, that I didn’t hurt myself, after I collapsed. It took her about ten minutes, to finally calm down.
“It’s a miracle that you don’t have any wounds. It must be a miracle! Thank Yuna for that!”
Thank Yuna? Goddess of life?
“Wait here, I will call the elder. He will get you to your home. Just don’t move from here!” the girl said, and started running away.
It’s not like I can run away from here. I looked around. To my right was this small shrine, with the goddess still smiling at me. It makes me sick. Just looking at her makes me sick. I can’t understand the reason. What is wrong with me? Her eyes, her dress, her smile… They are disgusting.
I slowly get up, looking at myself, to see if I have any wounds. There weren’t any. Was this even the truth? Have I really fallen on some rocks? I must have hit myself really hard, if that was the case.
I touched my head, but I couldn’t feel anything unusual. What even happened? Why have I collapsed? I felt good, and everything changed when I started praying in here…
“Adam! Are you alright?!” I heard the man’s voice, coming from the entrance to the forest. The elder was now running here, with Anna. I could see his worried face.
I’m glad that I live with people that are so kind to me… I’m glad I met them…
“Adam! Are you alright? Something happened?” he started speaking, when he approached me. He was tired, and breathing heavily.
“N-Nothing happened. I’m good.” I responded, and he smiled.
“Don’t scare us like that! What even happened in here? Have you been feeling unwell? You should have told us.”

I’m glad. I’m glad that they are worrying about me…
“No, I’m good. I’m telling the truth. I feel good now.” I said, and both of them looked at me.
Yeah, I feel good. Nothing really happened to me. I feel good. It’s alright.
“Come home. My wife should take a look at you.”
Yeah, he is probably right. I should be careful. People live only once… People live only once?
I looked at Anna and the elder. Both of them were now walking to the village, and I just went after them. There was no reason to stay here. This place made me feel uneasy for some reason. Yeah, I don’t want to stay in this place.
I looked back at the shrine. There were some rocks near it. Small, but pointy rocks. What is it? Some of them are a little red? Is this blood? No, it can’t be… Anna didn’t see anything, and I didn’t notice it before. I don’t even have any wounds…
Don’t…
Don’t trust the villagers… This voice… I remember it? A name… I’m sure that I remember a name. A single name. What was that?
“Is something bothering you?” Anna said, and I looked at her.
“Do you know the name Tiaris?”
