... thus is the name of the phenomena that happens precisely during the moment when the morning became afternoon.
That exact moment is accurately and truly described as the hottest time of the day, it might be just be a hot moment to anybody else around the world, but here in the desert?
Its literally HELL
Also happening in this hellblaze of a desert, a robed person with his head covered by clothes then appeared on top of an average-sized sandhill.
The timing of the person appearance was so perfect that it almost looks like the sun is literally behind of his head, such is the essence of an epic entrance.
"Hah, Hah--"
In contrary of such an entrance, the person only managed to stood still just for a moment upon reaching the top, and with a not so loud 'thud', he then fall flat to the surface of the grainy white sands.
And as a matter of course, his body then slowly and naturally slid face down to the base of the hill.
'shuuuushh'
The cloths that have been covering his face then slowly unravel their knots which at the same time then revealed the face of a young Caucasian male in his 20.
Upon safely arriving at the base, he then manage to muster just enough energy to turn his face sideways, away from the sands, he then naturally start gasping for some air, such is his natural survival instinct.
While trying to control his unstable breathing, his fatigue was clear for all to see.
Dark bags of circles under his eyes, eyes that are losing their shine, thus it was clear that he has been struggling to even get a wink of sleep for the past few days.
His throat has already passed the line of parched a long time ago, and his lips are already as dry as the desert he is lying on.
His stomach is grumbling as loud as the thunder since the start, but it is clear that he didn't spare any thought about his long-empty stomach.
The thought that is overrunning his brain is all and only about the foreboding of his death!! some examples would be such as:
"My time is already here" "I will die here" "This is where my journey ends" and some other negative thoughts.
......To be honest, he might have accepted that fact a long ago, even before this prologue.
There are no one else but him, and he alone in this vast desert,
His only companion is the occasional sounds of the wind blowing.
There is not even a sign of help or even a living being in sight,
The cursed view of the desert is all he could observe.
Combine all of those and you would get an emotion that rarely surface in a human's fleeting life yet surely will show itself in this type of situation....a life and death situation
Voila~, feast your eyes upon one of the world's most exquisite and marvelous primal emotions.
These two, even though they belong on the opposite side, they still belong on the same coin.
On the first side of the coin is Hope, the enduring feeling of a life of promise
It has been said that everyone who had tasted Hope would eventually taste yet another feeling.
YES, the other side of the coin is Despair, the complete loss or absence of hope for when there is hope there is always despair, not as opposites, but tied as brothers.
Upon tasting the emotion called despair, a normal person would normally cease any type of action or thought and sunk into the pit of abyss...
*tch, clicks Einz's tounge
...But regrettably, he is not just a normal person!!
'Creak'
With the creepy sound of bones creaking from the inside of his body, Einz then forcibly lifted his body from the sands.
Squeezing the very everything of his energy left, rather than screaming loudly and crazily like most protagonist, he get back uo on his own two feet with complete silence and the sounds of creaking bones as his accompaniment.
'Step'
As soon within just a single step, his blurred vision became completely gray and devoid of any colours.
His swollen muscles in his leg screamed out of pain as he took another step.
In addition, a sandstorm suddenly brewed near him and swallowed his whole body.
But even though his physical and mental health is already in the state of overloading, the only thought In his mind during that time is only:
"I will return to that place...to her... no matter what it takes"
With an indomitable will and unbreakable spirit, Einz continues to walk down on his carnage filled path.
