《Gallinus》5- I don't face it
Advertisement
Walking for a while, we finally stopped in front of a strange building.
- We arrived at the challenge tower!
Is that a tower?!
The reason I’m incredulous is because the tower is really wide, but not too high. This strange size made me believe that it could even be a stadium.
I would never think this is a tower…
The tower has several strange symbols on the wall around it, in addition to the large door in the center. Several people always come and go.
- Let’s go in. – The girl speaks, with yellow around her.
Wait, won’t you even explain to me what this tower is?
Too bad the girl can’t understand me, so she came in without answering my question.
This girl is always with that yellow color circling around her… Maybe it’s something like happiness or joy? Or could it be more like positivism?
I don’t know how many colors there are, but I decide to start sorting them.
While I think about it, I also watch the tower.
It’s really long, in addition to being separated into several parts. The structure seems to be really old and rudimentary.
On the ceiling, there are small stones that illuminate the whole place, looking like a lamp.
I wonder how much one of these would be worth…
I don’t know what the next floors are like, but this first floor has several rooms and a service place in the corner.
The girl went to the service location and asked to enter one of the rooms.
After a few seconds, the attendant lets her into the room and then we head over to it.
What I see inside the room are people, animals and a place to fight. There is also a place for meditation, where some people are silent.

What a strange place… How does one meditate in a place like this?
In a way, there are a lot of people in this room.
I wonder if the others are like that too…
As I look around, I notice that everyone has a grayish color, except a boy.
That boy seems to have a shade of brown inside and around him.
He approached the girl who carries me and apparently greeted us with a sarcastic smile.
It’s amazing how I’m perceiving these little details…
I was never someone who could notice things like a sarcastic smile.
I also resolve to observe the appearance of this boy, he has slightly messy brown hair, brown eyes and a white and green outfit.
Looking around, no one else came to find use. They are probably very busy meditating.
- Hii, are you training too? – The girl says, seeming not to notice the young man’s smile.
The color around her changed to a greenish tone.
Maybe they are friends? Well, it doesn’t matter to me…
What I most wanted to know was what this girl was going to show me in this place.
I hope it’s not a waste of time…
While the two talked, I noticed the girl’s color changing from green to red, and then to blue.
And, for some reason, it felt like I was involved in this conversation.
Soon, the girl placed me on the floor at one end of the small arena, while the boy placed an armadillo on the other side.
This armadillo also had a brown color inside it, but the tone around it looked like wine.
- Come on, Gallinus, you can defeat him. – The girl exclaims behind me.
… Are you talking to me?
It was the first time this girl called me by a name.
Well, at least I believe it is a name.
Anyway, how do you put me in a fight, like this?! Why do I have to participate in the fights for you?!
That armadillo approached me, without seeming to worry about anything.
… He is bigger than I thought.
Looking closely, I notice its big pointed tail, sharp claws and the hoof on its back which must be very resistant.
I, without hesitation, run behind the girl.
