"Head to the Kingdom of Nanatsu no Kabe. To the center and go under the palace. Go there for answers. Save me."
"Who's voice was that? What happened, where am I and why is it so bright? It was evening, why is it so bright out?
T-th-this ain't the town centre, where am I?How did I get in this field, I was on my way to the archery club. Why is it the middle of the day, was I out all night?"
As she stands herself up, the girl starts to scan her surroundings looking for any noteworthy landmark. A building, telephone wires, a person, anything that she can identify but all there is to see is the neverending greenery that stretches out in front of her and the Sapphire sky that endlessly reaches overhead.
"Calm down and think. Where am I, where am I, where am I, where am I?!" she starts whispering to herself, getting louder and louder every time she repeats herself. Her eyes darting in every direction as she spins like a record still looking for someone or something.
"O-Okay think back. What was the last thing I remember? I-I was um… walking in the town centre, near the main road and, I-I um… " as her words start to trail off she slumps back down on the grass and starts to loosen her tie.
Her black blazer with the red trim was still done up with 2 buttons, leaving the third one on the top undone, revealing a white shirt fully buttoned up and was stained green from the grass she was laying in earlier and her black knee-long shirt was in much the same condition. Her tights have started to bunch a little bit at her ankles coving a little bit of her smart brown school slip-on shoes.
Her hair is a greasy dark brown and drops past her shoulders and reaching down her back in a tangled mess. Her eyes, like emeralds, shines under the light of the sun and the bags under her eyes aren't as noticeable as they used to be.
"I remember feeling like I was shoved and then I stumbled onto the road and there was a truck. I think someone was reaching for me when I fell."
As she recalls the events she finds herself tripping over her own words as her eyes start to well up.
"Maybe I'm dreaming while I'm lying on a hospital bed, yeah that would make sense. Or perhaps there was no truck and I'm at home in my bed asleep. Though being iseakied would be pretty cool just like all those shitty anime I watched every season." As she calms down and thinks about what's happening, a gentle breeze starts passing over and the girl starts to slow her thought process and just stares at the cloudless sky. "Either way, what a beautiful Duwang."
She reaches for her phone, which is in her dark red laptop bag laying next to her and checks the time.
"11 AM! That means I was out so long that it's tomorrow and no one has called me or messaged about where I am. No WiFi and no signal that may be why. Of course it just also be that no one cares about what happens to me."
A black case in the grass catches her attention and she slips her phone in her pocket and slings her laptop bag over her shoulder along with her regular school bag, which is blue, before walking up to the case which was about the size of a guitar and was made of solid black plastic.
"How can I forget about you, you beautiful thing," She whispered to herself as she picks up the case and starts to walk off in search of phone signal or civilization while lugging all her bags.
