Only Upon feeding his thirsty skin the water he noticed something weirdly unusual. He didn't all this time.
?!
!???!
What's this??
There n—
Ah!
What was that?
Did something happened??
He immediately stand up in rush.
Hurriedly moving his head left, right, back, up ,and down.
Everywhere his eyes can reac—
Aughh!
Again? What this?
...
What's what?
Did something happened?
Hmmm... everything is normal.
He glance at his hand for a second...
Than said : what i was doing?
Was i looking at something?
Melody come tangling in his ears.
He moved his head searching for melody. Only to found still waterfall standing in front of him.
Ohhh yeah i found where beautiful melody was coming from. And just reached this place.
So let's see there waterfall bottom to top he start looking everywhere waterfall.
Ohhh what a weird waterfall staying still like it don't even exist... almost like it don't have any presence.
Don't exist?... don't have presen—
For a moment everything become dark instead of standing still he running like his life on line holding something in his hand.
Without looking back.
Cough!
Immediately he look back and screamed : Who is there?
Ah, there nothing.
Just beautiful things he saw before...but...but i fee—
???
What feel?... ohhh yeah beautiful feeling so this is majestic melody was coming from?
Upon closer look it's...not as beautiful i thought.
What?
But i am sure this is most beautiful thing i ever saw. But...but this feel like i saw it before.
Almost like multiple times now over and over again.
Specially... this waterfall.
He start looking above waterfall. Seeing rocks all around it... hmmm ugly.
As that word come out of his mouth his gaze fell upon beautiful tree standing at top of cliff.
He was left speechless just like before...
Before?
But this is my first time seeing it?
First time...?
His gaze still fixated on tree at top but something caught his attention more than silent tree, below that tree something standing...no... it's someone.
A person? There a person standing? What that person doing here?
Person was covered in all white...no almost like that person is all white.
Instead of confirming at top is actually home by look he confirmed it was figure that look like one.
That white figure waving.
Like a instinct of human being caught him in middle of something.
He raised his hand trying to wave back.
Before he noticed his hand already on his neck like he trying to strangle himself.
He wasn't losing air. It's like he already lost all of his lung and trying to catch all of that back.
Huffff...
Huffff...
Huffff...
Everything start becoming blurry... slowly darkness is overtaking his vision...he opened his eyes in all darkness his feets are running. nothing is in his control... almost like he can't even control his own body...
But he can actually feel what his body feeling.
In darkness his body look like it's holding itself from breathing. Until something hit the ground making him lose his balance.
Huff.
Huff.
Huff.
He hit the ground. His eyes got closed, darkness become even stronger with eyes closed.
Trying to put himself back in position as soon as he can.
Immediately he open his eyes as soon as he can, and saw something that left him filled with terror even though he wasn't the one controling the body. In front standing a dark figure even in darkness he could tell it's not a human figure but a terrifying creature with it's crimson eyes staring down from high.
Launching it's blade like claw forward break the ground sending something like a living cracks staight near him.
Boy immediately launch his body to the right do a little roll than right launch roll again.
Dodging almost every attack of crimson eyes monster.
Augh! What was that?
Ahhhhhh!
A throbbing pain was still linger in his head almost like something hit inside his head again and again, not just head but his whole body.
No it's more like someone ripped my skin and bones apart, while i am alive to feel all that pain.
Ahhh!
What's this strange pain?
His eyes still fixated on white figure below the tree saw something. Figure instead of waving now making cup by hands in front of mouth.
Almost like...she trying to shout something.
Words wasn't forming properly from top of the cliff. Only leaving a small sound behind, those small sound not making a proper sense.
Tin!
Before he could react to this sound.
A golden vine of sound slowly faded inside his ears.
Pause.
His eyes wide open pupil become larger than it's ever been, a strage colour start taking over his eyes iris slowly start becoming golden.
Aughhhhhhh!
Please stop please i beg you.
My eyes feel like it's getting ripping itself apart from me!
Ahhhh!
No no no don't go!
Please stay!
I can't lose even you.
Please my ey—
Shock.
Suddenly his hands fall, those hands he was grabbing his eyes fell like lifeless limbs his whole body feel like empty shell. He just standing without a moment, only his head still looking above towards the cliff with his eyes iris coming out like golden vines coming.
Almost like the they are their own living thing, crawling out of eyes, More they come out more his head move upwards.
Tap.
Don't...
Child destiny is beyond than those who merely seek answer beyond the understanding...
His destiny don't hold suffering...he is melody that's itself is suffering...
...
...
Answer he seek after his destin...is beyond the understanding of living ...itself...
Once meaning of love, hate, pain, despair, memories... meaning itself disappear...his destiny will be reached bit not answer you seek.
So... leave...the...child...
Sheet of water that was covering ground below start crawling on boy body slowly like it's alive. It covered his whole body in blue alive sheet of water, slowly it's start crawling inside his body making small holes everywhere in his body...for a moment making his body not even human enough... Almost like no living being have right to look at this display of beauty and horror at same time.
Water disappeared.
His body slowly start getting back in position he was standing before, his eyes vines start coming back, head get back staring at figure on cliff.
Golden vines start disappearing...or just going back inside his body for time being just like crawling water.
As he start coming back to his senses a blurry sound ringing in his ears.
R—u—n—
Silence.
??
Did i hear something?
Where all the pain gone??
Why I can't see?
Did my eyes actually leave me ?
No no no, i can still feel them.
They are there.
R—u—n—
Another one!
It's not clear what kind of sound is it.
What's that person trying to say.
Who even talking to me right now?
!
Ohhh yeah person standing on top of cliff.
I couldn't understand before what that figure was trying to say.
Am i still looking in same direction?
I think i am i mean that sound did come from my front.
But i can't hear what that person is saying?
Like my ears are close. Should i focus on trying to listen?
I mean I don't have anything else to do. until my vision come back so why not?
But what actually happened to ny vision and pain?
He shrugged. well it's gone that's all matter in the end.
As he try to foucs all his power on hearing. Trying to find out what figure below the tree is actually saying.
Pop.
Pop? I feel like a bubble pop in my ear or something. He shake his head a little.
Ah, whatever.
So now what are your trying to say.
He narrowed his eyes, trying to foucs his vision too. Only to see a weird vision like thing like it's not even supposed to be seen by a human.
Yet he can't see anything or describe what he seeing.
What actually happened to my eyes?
He don't know while he trying to focus his eyes on something golden vines are still slowly returning in his eyes. Leaving something that look like a body of boy with something golden trying to enter his body by eyes. But there was something more ear that bubble popped from golden vines slowly start crawling out of them.
But this time they are following his body instead of actually taking form, like it's becoming his new ears.
Ru—n
Ru?
It's finally becoming clear. Just little more focus.
Run.
Ohhh it's run.
Run ah... wait...run!
But where? And who? Me ?
In sudden panick he start moving around, only for his leg to hit one and another.
He start falling towards the water below.
Everything become slow as if...time itself is watching this.
He put one of his hand in front like everyone would. But...there is something...in his hand. He totally forgot about, a pure white flower still clinging to him like everything that happened never put a dent of it's Beauty.
First one to touch the water below wasn't even his hand but flower in front.
What happened? F— my legs got stuck and i fall.
Let's stand up.
Wait why everything is dark?
Wait did my vision actually got back??
Let's stand up first.
His head looking at front while crouching, he lower his head.
What's this?
My hand what's happening to it? In this darkness only thing shining is... Something that coming out of my hand.
What's actually coming out?
Something that look like made of golden light string.
Forming something.
What's it's forming?
Right in front of his eyes, he saw a birth.
Birth given by golden light string.
forming a golden baby.
Wahh!
Than he noticed something his normal vision didn't come back...but instead he was everything with his indescribable vision.
He look closely his hand that was holding the golden string. He take a look golden baby who just born infront of him, everything was golden beside the chest.
Child chest had the a flower in middle... almost like a beating heart but instead it was a flower.
Each beat of flower reminded him of something he forgot.
Each time he taken a look at pure white flower.
Flower beat—vision of holding it—flower beat— vision —beat—vision.
!
A blinding light shine from under the blue water. Creating a big strong plant vine reaching towards the top of cliff...but ofcourse he couldn't see the vine.
It was so bright even without his normal vision, it's made him blind for few seconds
Pop.
Another pop. Did it open my other ear?
Tip.
Tap.
Ha.
Haha.
He immediately move his head around. But ofcourse nothing in his vision yet.
Haha.
Hi who's there!
This sound not coming from far away... almost like it's near me... really near.
Hahaha.
He stand quiet without making another sound or movement.
This time it was much clear, and almost dreadful. That's send shiver down his spine.
He swallow.
A drop of sweat come running down from top of his head to end of chin, It hanging on it. Like someone holding for his dear life.
It holded as long possible, until it finally let go finally hitting what's below him.
Big part of plant vine just starting it's journey towards cliff below him. Without him even knowing about it.
Drop of sweat first hit a part vine, while holding on to it drop reached water below. upon reaching the water drop merged with it without making any movement in water...like it was always a part of it.
screech!
Followed by sound of scratching in his indescribable vision.
Crack!
In front of something broke like a glass apart small parts all over, with a hand coming straight towards his head in front of his eyes out of those broken pieces of glas.
That made him left empty, he couldn't say anything or think. After all It happened out of blue.
He closed his eyes in reaction and tried to guard himself...?
...
...
??
What happened?
He opened his eyes.
There broken pieces of glass below him in dark water.
Stared them for a moment.
He heard another sound passing something keep on strapping on something.
He immediately turned around and saw a figure just as same height as his running. Even without proper vision even with some distance between them. he could somehow feel figure was breathing heavily keep making huff sound, feets have blood all over them, body moving like everything depends on each movement figure make... feeling was... almost...
Tip.
Before he could complete his words a sound hit hear overlapping sounds of footsteps made by figure.
Step.

With each sound near the vine water start cracking with blue light start coming from them, making it's way towards the waterfall like a living crack... Almost reaching the waterfall.
Step.
