《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.

“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
