From afar, glistening light lured him, The trees were still green there.
"Help!" Cutting through the forest.
With a long skip, the ground suddenly broke under him, he slid down, being hit by roots and bumpy rocks, mud covering his sunny pajamas.
The grass caught him, groping and tugging out the roots, his left foot was covered in mud. He tried his best to prevent it from moving.
It was blinding, his eyes slit, blinking rapidly as he forced his body to sit. The reflection of the swaying moon caught his eye.
"Al?" Immediately he formed a shield with his hands, painting the ground with his elbow, he tried numbing his left foot as he wriggled himself away.
"Oh, hey, are you okay?" He heard it again, a sincere voice, soft and kind. Letting down his guard he looked up to see a girl in a leafy dress wearing a flower crown, a cloak and a brown leather strap around her shoulder with different shaped bottles.
She sat down in front of him, scanning from top to bottom. "Oh..." Her eyebrows furrowed. He pulled his left leg away from her, "Please, I can heal." She said.
Wiping his tears, he gently gave his trust to her. Taking out a bottle and putting it on her hand, she pressed her palm on the boy's feet.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! that hurts!" Like a warm cup of coffee hugged on his skin, it disappeared moments after the girl performed her healing magic.
He stood up, wiggling his toes and wiping the ground.
"Thank you." Struggling to gratify her, retreating into the shell of his shoulders.
She smiled, returning the bottle to its place, "I'm Mira," Holding out her hand. "What's your name?"
He mopped his hands on his thighs before extending it to her. "I'm... I'm..."
"I'm? I am?"
As he felt her warm handshake, the words left his mouth "I... I don't know."
"You don't know your name? Did you bump your head or something?"
"I... can't remember."
