《Sky: Children from The Unknown》Chapter 13
Advertisement
I only raised my head when I heard someone calling my name that has lost in a time. Ahh, the unknown child, only one who dare remember and calling us by our name. What a true surprise from the darkness. Talking about how reckless the twins is, I summon the tea table I usually sit. I drop six sugar cubes into my cup and about to take a sip when something, or rather someone yanked my hand away from it.
The child stares at me in shock, “Are you crazy?! You can die by giving six sugar cubes to your tea!” the child scream right beside me still holding my hand. Huh, this is the first one someone really try to stop me from adding more. But... this cubes is my source of happiness? It’s bitter sweet taste remind me of this life we are living.
We will not be forever in this world. The old souls will soon gone, as the new one replaced them. Lost so many, get so many. Not them the skykids, not them the spirits, only the memories they brought back to us, the Elders. Not the person. As the skykids can‘t do it. Give and take, yes?
Oh? What happens? Why the child wided their eyes? what did they see? So deeply lost in to my eyes- flash of the child clothes mixed with light dots, alongside a gigantic figure behind the child makes me wonder. Until a splash of unknown red lights bring me back. The red lights dots now fly up joinning the rest of the other lights that is blue.
Something, painted the flowers and grasses beneath us with red. It’s shimmer so beautifully despite where it’s come from. A roar once again grounded me to the reality, when my eyes landed on the fallen body. That’s when I know the nightmares is part of the gravity. Pulling everything down when nothing can keep it stay and stand.

I slowly start to get up to the fallen one. Ignoring the blaring voice of the others made as I stare at the face. The mask is long forgotten when the flash happenned. Again, a shimmering red flow down from the mouth to the chin, from left shoulder go down across the chest end, is the more bigger source.
What is that?
Why is it scary? I don't like it-
Why did it scare me? Make it stop-
Why it coming from there? Please-
Why it keep coming out?
Why why why whywhywhywhy-
another roar following along with a loud Can be heard. I tear my gaze away from the child to the sound. A two big creatures face to face with one is pinned down under the other claw of leg, baring down it’s set of sharp teeth with hateful, “I only doing my duty by merely protecting the elder of this realm from dirty creatures like you two!”
The four legged creature is about to rip the person apart when a hammer coming at it’s head, throwing it aside from the power it carry. “both of you stop!” ahh the guardian herself come to the rescue. “Tsadi! What have you done?!”
Another person who wouldn’t forget. From the start, as her heart will always remember. A rumble was hear when the one that got hit started to get up with a low growl, a chill run down to their back from how dangerous it can be sound. “Naga! Calm down-“
“then quit with your rage and help her with Lamed!!” huh? What did she means by- why is my hands covering their openned body? Am I trying to stop it from coming out? Now my hands is painted red too, like the pool we sit. Red. I think I starting to hate the colour of red if it hurting me or the others too.

The dragon does not listen. He keep raging more when he can’t react the man that starting his anger. As he try to once again coming closer with a malice intense. Teth is trying to defent Tsadi from the dragon, but not even awhile, she got sweeped by his tail. Secured in place. “Naga! Let me down!” her plea fall deaf in his ear, keep wraping her in his tail as he break her hammer when it flew near his face with his teeth.
Suddenly a big head was in front of me as his mouth was openned slightly. Surprising me a bit. The dragon directed his mouth above my painted hands, his burning eyes stare in my very soul as I take my hands from the child. A sudden cold greet me when a mist emitted out from the dragon mouth in a small ball of white. It float to the child cracked chest. It’s stopped the liquid from coming out. Did the dragon just freeze it?
my mind immediately went to one place “Valley...” the dragon eyes gleam for a second then bite the back of my clothes. I instinctively grab and hugged the child’s body and feel that we were got thrown to somewhere. When we got pass something, I saw a portal I have never see before and that Teth got thrown in the very same portal but landed in different place as the dragon tackle Tsadi to the another portal.

Explanation, as you can see there, the splash of (Y/n) blood a.k.a you was floating up and turned out into like you usually see in Vault of Knowledge.
But instead of blue, it's of course red because what is actually it.
Also as far I know spirits is not bleeding, instead they are cracking. So they don't know what blood is. (Or at least in here)
You can look up for the imagine of red light. Or this one.
