《The King Of Sloth》Chapter 5
Advertisement
I stared blankly at the the young looking man. I can't believe my ears. That was the voice of a 5 year old. What is wrong with this world? How old is he exactly? Oh, I forgot that he is waiting for and answer.
"Yes"
I hope that was enough, I really dislike talking. Too many things tend to go wrong when I have a conversation. He looks at me strangely for a second before handing me.....
What is this? Is it bread? Or a is it a rock? It's shaped like bread, but it looks like stone. Is this actually edible?
"What is this?"
I asked him just to be safe. I would prefer not to break my jaw while eating. He's doing it again. Giving me that strange look, just answer me already.
"It's bread" he says.
"Are you sure?" I say trying to read his face for lies.
"Yes? It's obviously bread, is there something wrong with it?" He asks with a concerned tone.
He couldn't be right? One of those so called caring giants? Well whatever.
"No there is absolutely nothing wrong with it" is said, it's a complete lie though. I seriously don't want my first meal to be rock bread, but I'm too starving to care right now. I take a bite into the....
Completely normal bread? Why is it so soft when it looks so hard? This world is hurting my head. Well whatever, I finish my piece of rock bread in a few seconds. Then I hold out my hand and say...
"More" in my nicest tone possible. Why does he looked so shocked? I'm asking politely you know? Well in the end I ate around ten pieces of rock bread. Now to get things underway. I look directly at him.

"Name?" I say in what I think was a questioning tone.
"Ah! Sorry I completely forgot to introduce myself. My name is James." He said in an extremely flustered tone. This guy, isn't he a kid? He's definitely a kid.
James Pov
This man is really scary. I didn't notice at first when I found him on the side of road, but his eyes. They have bags under them so dark that it makes him look like he never sleeps. Combined with his sharp eyes, it looks he'd kill me the moment I step out of line.
Well these were my thoughts before he started speaking.
You could feel tiredness in his tone. He sounded like he would rather curl up in a ball away from society and sleep his life away. Also he's really rude. I mean, he doesn't sound thankful at all, he's demanding my food and he's not even speaking to me properly! After he's finished eating he looks directly at me and says.....
"Name?"
In the most disinterested voice I've ever heard in my life. You could at least try to sound interested! Well in the end I answered him, I mean he's really scary looking. Well only his face though. His body is incredibly frail looking and his limbs are freakishly long. He's even got claws, really weird ones too. Their pretty thick and long on both his hands and feet. I wonder what race he is? I've never heard of a race with these characteristics before.
Done with my observing I was about to attempt at conversation with the strange man, who by the way hasn't even told me his name yet. But before I could I noticed something very important.
He had fallen asleep.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!

This story will be quite long that even some mysteries won't be solve right away, and why the hell it happened in the first place. The fact that characters in this story have different POV about the mysteries happening in the story doesnt always mean their hunches are right.
