Pythier Scwazen Academy: The Powerful Princess

Chapter 5

Finley's POV

I gasped for air as I felt my heart started beating once again. As I catch my breath, my eyes began to grasp everything around me. But one thing is making me lose my mind entirely; there was nothing around but complete darkness. Then there was this very familiar melody that I kept on hearing, a melody that someone created through a whistle, as if it was the very last thing that I heard a while ago except now, it was like a slow reverb version of the melody which is making it seem eerier.

I am once again floating in some type of dark matter and I can't help but freak out over all these course of events that has no explanations or whatsoever and it just keeps on happening to me.

Vision of myself covered in blood swiftly flashes in my mind making my head throb a little. I suddenly remembered everything that just happened and now I am more confused and scared. Who was that man behind the mask? Why did he kill me?? Why am I remembering everything like it was just a minute ago??

Then it dawned me, the melody that keeps my head spinning was the whistling sound that the masked man was making while I slowly march into death.

Everything that just happened is now clear as the day in my mind but as blurry as your eyesight for I have not a single clue why all these things seemed to be happening to me.

Suddenly, I am hearing this familiar voice saying words I can't hear much clearly until I was force to close my eyes and cover my head as I was drawn into a very blinding light.

It's that voice again and I realize that the voice was exactly like Varan's.

"Sire, Sire, wake up!!" a sense of de javu crawled upon me as the same words from the same voice sang unto my ears. As my eyes slowly open, there it was, Varan before me, waking me up as if someone pressed the replay button bringing me back to where it all started.

I quickly stood up as I saw Varan and tried to hug him.

He suddenly pushed me back and punched me on the face. "What the heck?? What do you think are you doing??" he suddenly said as he freaked out.

"Firstly, ouch! You could've just back away...but I'm really sorry Varan but you are the only familiar face I have seen in quite a while and I can't help myself."

"What are you talking about?? And how the hell do you know my name?? Are you some kind of stalker or something??"

"What?? No, no, of course not. I am your old friend. Finley? Finley Scott Davis, don't you remember me at all??"

"Does it seem like I remember you? And I'm sorry for that punch, it was a reflex." Varan uttered.

"I know that, I know that you wouldn't hurt anyone unless you needed to, because you're such a kind being, you were so kind enough to help me when I was so lost few weeks or I don't know, maybe months ago? You sent me to that quest, the one with those poisonous slimes?" I asked eagerly, desperately wanting him to remember me.

"Look kid, I am sorry to burst your bubble but I haven't seen you in my life ever until this very moment. I was just trying to wake you up because you've been lying there for quite a while now and I was a bit worried. If you're telling the truth then I would likely remember every detail. Don't play games on me and just run along, go home now. Just go back to your parents and stop fooling people while you're in those clothes. Tsk, kids these days has nothing better to do, don't they? Humans and demi-humans alike, very mischievous people." Varan said in a serious tone while he made his way back to his store.

"Varan, wait!" he stops as he hears my desperate call.

"What is it now??" he irritatingly asked.

"I am deadly serious, I swear! Cross my heart and hope to die, I mean, of course I don't want to die again but please just listen, I'll tell you everything if you just give me a chance to explain it all." I said with pleading eyes.

"Die again? What in the world is he talking about?" Varan muttered to himself. He sighs deeply then signals me to follow him towards his store. I wasn't aware how his subtle response left a wide grin on my face.

**moments later...**

"I can't really clearly recall anything like that happening. But I can give you a few probable scenarios that might have happened to you. First, someone might have erased my memory, retaining yours or you could be involve in some type of a time warp sort of thing, in which I don't really have much knowledge on."

"Is that so? What then should I do? The confusion never ends and I just constantly find myself lost inside this unknown world that I am in now. I am starting to feel torn again if I am in a dream or this is all real." I stated in frustration.

"Well, I know that I am pretty much real and I think that you are too. This world is very real to me but I guess that alone wouldn't really convince and assure you." Varan said while thinking.

He pauses for a minute until, "I'll tell you what..."

"What?" I asked immediately. He slightly snickers at my response and continued, "I'd like to help you again, if you'd be willing to accept it after I made one of your eye swell."

"Of course that would be great! But you said you have forgotten about me, why are you suddenly willing to help a stranger like me who just randomly barged into your life?" I asked very curiously.
