A world....
Without pain.
Without trauma.
Without people trying to use you.
A world without suffering.
The Dream world was such a world.
Many people might say that one should focus more reality.
Reality!
Star has been experiencing the harshness and coldness of this reality as far as he could remember.
He has spent his entire life in reality and it has brought him no joy, every time he opens up to reality he immediately regrets.
He is a slave in reality for crying out loud!!
Reality was nothing but pain and regret. So thank you!
Dreams.
The only place Star felt comfortable and at peace. There was just something about dreams that the world could not explain.
There were many times he would dream and wish to never wake up.
Star daydreamt of when he was king, when he was the one giving orders to the world.
When turned all the nobles and royalties in the entire world into his slave.
The sounds and moans of the other slaves didn't even bother him, he was already use to it.
He daydreamt as he slept.
He dreamt of owning a beautiful castle and very beautiful gorgeous wife, which he labelled his queen.
Star was having a wonderful time in his imaginary world.
He was spending time with his perfect soulmate, conquering kingdoms, making loyal friends and advisors.
Dreams were pretty sweet.
Star was still living his fantasy when he suddenly heard an explosion.
BBOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!
Star woke up and immediately straightened up, he was only half asleep so it pretty easy for him to react. Even if he was fully asleep, such an explosion would have woken him up.
Some of the slaves that were asleep began to wake up, some were rubbing their eyes while some looked around with red eyes in confusion.
There were actually some slaves that were still asleep.
It left Star puzzled.
Though the explosion was quite far from their camp, it sounded distant but it was still loud enough to wake a person up.
There were actually heavy sleepers among slaves.
"What's going on? What's happening?"
"An explosion?"
"What?! Are the guards up to something?"
"Its probably their doing, right?"
One the female slaves asked, she hard dark brown hair and blemished skin.
She wanted to answer the question but her answer ended up as a question instead.
"Probably, what else could have done it?"
Said one of the male slaves.
"What do you think they are doing?"
The female slave asked.
"How should I know?"
Most of the slaves had already gone back to whatever they were doing, some were murmuring, some went back to sleep and some were doing something else. After all, what the guards did was none of their business.
Star and a few others however remained vigilant.
Being someone who had experienced so many things including an ambush, he knew when something was wrong.
At least he felt like it was, he wasn't sure but he would rather remain vigilant than wind-up dead.
He had seen many people die because of slight carelessness. He didn't want to end up like that.
"AAARRRGGHHHHHH!!!"
It didn't take long before they heard the sound of screams, which caught all their attention.
People were running frantically, screaming. Star looked closer, he saw a middle age man with missing limb.
He immediately bolted out of the make-shift camp.
Star was the first to react, it took a few moment for the other slaves to come to a realization before they immediately began following, the naked ones hurriedly put on their clothes and jumped off each other.
Most the slaves were shocked at the speed Star left the camp.
They began to run frantically, leaving behind the make-shift camp with no tent.
"Wait!"
A male's voice resounded behind Star.
Whether he heard or not, he paid no mind.
He kept running.
Every word, every voice, fell to deaf ears.
Moments later, he came across a bulldozer of slaves.
Star gazed at the whole scene.
They were screaming, pushing, and scrambling all over the place. The whole place was chaotic, even the soldiers were on the run.
It was a total mess.
Star stopped at the next moment.
Foooo!
The cold wind blew.
Taking a look around, he searched for a route for his escape. He didn't know what was happening but if he were to guess, it was likely an ambush of some sort.
It was either from the enemies of the Sun Kingdom or....
A Demon.
Star was leaning towards the demon theory, something about the huge black Temple put him off.
'there is something weird about that black Temple.'
He thought.
It didn't take long for him to confirm his guess.
A black figure rose up on the cliff under the starry night sky. The aura of darkness and death reasonated with it as it stood on all four limbs. The glowing red eyes showcased its intense hunger and interest.
Its canines bulged out as its mouth lay open.
Red saliva streamed down his every tooth. The towering monstrosity was not alone, it had its pack with him.
The pack were more or less like it.
It gazed at the crowd of humans and then...
"AWWOOOOO!!!"
It howled. And then it rushed forward with all its might.
Charging with all its pack, it surged madly.
Diving, at the colony of meat that lay clustered in their sight.
Glamorous!
What a glorious day for the demonic wolves.
