《Gallinus》8- At least, I know her name
Advertisement
With the sun rising in the sky, I wake up to a new day.
… Since when do I wake up so early?
The room is pitch dark, but for some reason, I’m sure the sky is starting to light up.
This is already the third day in this dream… Am I really dreaming?
The more time passes, more I question the reality in front of my eyes.
In a way, it is very strange that I have such a lived dream, that I can even be hungry, feel pain…
I don’t know what to believe anymore…
While I think, I wait for the girl to wake up.
[…]
After a few hours, the girl gets up and opens the window, finally letting me have a look inside the room.
- Good morning, Galizé! Are you ready to continue training? – She says, all excited.
No.
- So, let’s go!
The girl takes me in her hands and takes us to the kitchen, where the girl’s mother is finishing cooking.
- Before leaving, it is better to eat some. – Speaks the girl’s mother, bringing the food to the table.
- Ok! – The girl responds while sitting down.
… So, on the third day, can I understand others?
I really don’t understand why, the day before, I could only understand the girl, but today I can understand what her mother says.
Is it a delay? Or am I still downloading the language of this world in my brain?
I have no idea why, but that also left me with a big doubt.
Will something change tomorrow?
Well, the only way to know was to wait for the next day.
Anyway, as I’m starting to accept this new reality more, instead of eating the corn they gave me, I just go to the girl’s bread and try to steal it.

- Hey! Don’t take my bread! – She says, trying to pull it, but only makes it be torn in half.
This bread is my right, for all that I went through thanks to you!
Without hesitation, I eat the piece I took and then try to get more, but the girl hides the rest.
The girl’s mother, seeing this, makes a small smile and then gave me a bread.
- Okay, now you have yours too. – She says smiling. I could see a greenish color around her.
About these colors, I noticed that it is necessary to focus my vision on someone to be able to see.
If not, the only color I see is gray. And it is not always possible to see the color, even in focus.
Maybe I can only see feelings that are intense or focused on me?
Of course, this is only for distant people, since I can easily see the colors of this girl who hides bread.
I don’t understand why I see only her feelings more easily…
I think as I watch the girl with a purple tinge around her.
I need to keep thinking about the meaning of these colors.
As far as I know, Gray means neutral, Red is something like rage, Wine can be hostility, Orange should be something like doubt, Yellow is optimism, for sure, and this purple, which is probable suspicion, caution.
I wonder what that green means…
It was with these thoughts that I finish my breakfast and am taken to the garden.
[...]
I don’t want to train…
Watching the girl make her moves, wanting me to copy them, I started to get tired.
- Come on, Galizé, do this for your owner!
My owner? I don’t even know your name!
This is a detail that I am getting upset about. This girl hasn’t told me her name yet!

Or rather, maybe she said? But that must have happened on the first day, when I didn’t understand a word.
The only way to get her name right now, is through her mother or try to convince this girl to tell me.
For now, I will try to look doubtful.
I bend my head to one side while looking her in the eyes.
- …Hm? What’s it? Couldn’t you understand any movement? – The girl asks me, even though she know I can’t answer.
How can I change the subject… Ah, I have it!
I lift my paw and show her my necklace.
- Your necklace? Do you want to know what it is?
I confirm with my head.
- So that’s it... This necklace has a very important meaning, since it connects our contract. – the girl starts to explain while sitting next to me.
Contract? This is new.
- Do you see this ring here? – She says, showing me a golden ring on her finger. – It is linked with your necklace, thus forming a contract between us.
Interesting… But what are the clauses of this contract? And when did I sign something?
Although the girl didn’t answer these questions, she continued.
- That’s why I think you’re very strange, you know? – She says watching me. – Anyway, shall we go back to training?
… Wait! Explain to me more about it! And I still don’t know your name!
- Suzy, can you go buy me some things? – The girl’s mother calls her form inside the house.
- Okay, mom, I’m going! – The girl responds. – I’m going to have to go out for a bit, then you’ll stay with my mother.
After that, the girl takes me into the house and leaves me on the table.
…Well, at least I know her name is Suzy.
I could only settle for that for today, while new doubts popped into my mind…

Welcome to the fantastic world of Bios. Another world, not much unlike our own, with some exceptions, such as, say, the presence of gods, demons, and magic. While things like these were once common knowledge, the Great Witch Hunt, which occurred 500 years ago, forced most of the magicians who survived into hiding, and many of the old religions to disappear, with the exception of a few. And so, as time went on, history was rewritten, and those amazing things became, to the population at large, the stuff of legends. However, in the year of 2017 A.S. (Anno Salvator), a group of teenagers find themselves pulled into the magical side of Bios as they encounter the Magic Knight Forces, discover dark secrets, and realize that a great threat is rising from its long sleep...
