Lucid Dream: Wonderland
05-Another Person

"Listen to me carefully, son. No matter where you come from or who you are, you're in danger" Alphard's voice echoing through my head was cold.

"Nothing is right in this life, nor is there a god. But, ever since I hitchhiked in this little body of yours, I can feel even worse. You, Lucifer, who are you?" Continue Alphard without me understanding his point.

"Ah, sucks. Being locked up in memory and this body is driving crazy, forget it. We can talk about it later. Most importantly, you should listen to my other stories."

Ah, crazy. What the fuck? Why would he want to be? Breaking up the story when it talked about me being in danger. Where I am, the world is still smart. Yeah, thank you.

"Ey, why are you whining like a kid like that? It can be taken care of later, I the Alphard will also help you, for free. So, listen to me" he continued raving. "You have to follow that unconscious man—" he said.

"Why?" I asked irritatedly.

"Akh, you cut me. Hear first. He is my friend and we are on an important mission. We're going to change history. The God we love, he cast-off, I mean we had dumped him first because he didn't care and got us who were already loyal to him in big trouble. We also have to take revenge on that crazy woman. Also protect the innocent weak creatures."

"So?"                             

"I need your b-aid. I got into your body, but it turns out I got into a bad one. Even you who came out of nowhere took my place. Hey, kids. I know you're not from this place, fake Lucifer. The real Lucifer is sound asleep in here. So, you as a burden must obey me. I tried to get you out but I couldn't, so I had no choice. We have to work together, once everything is done I'll leave and you can move freely afterwards" he continued, explaining at length and width.

Hahh, crazy. He explained but also said the advantage he got and all I got was the loss.

"E-ey, kid. Remember that danger? Right, I promised I'd help you too. Then, about the memories of the origin of your world I'll shut my mouth about that. I-I can also protect this little body of yours. So how? Isn't that profitable enough?"

I can imagine her blabbering like a salesman offering her merchandise.

"Ahh, I don't know. Whatever. I don't care" anyway, there's nothing I can do in this place. I'm just gonna find out why I'm stuck here and hope that my physical body doesn't die in my world. Right, I can't be dead, right?

I sat up straightening my legs, leaning against one side of the tree where Almach slept unconscious.

I lifted my head up, saw the dim sunlight coming through the cracks of the leaves. The breeze blew around carrying some dry leaves. The sound of birds was also heard several times.

Ah, what should I do now?

Almach, he was just exhausted and unconscious, so there was nothing to worry about.

Aphard, the creature that reverberated in my head had also been quiet since a while ago. My head feels like it's going to explode if I keep hearing it.

I almost forgot about me in danger. Joking or not, but the words kept ringing in my head. Is it my presence in this strange place that puts me in danger? Or is the owner of this small body actually dangerous?

"It's exhausting. I want to go home" I took a deep breath, then closed my eyes. Any idea a nap could bring me back.

"Ugh.." the moaning from Almach surprised me, I reflexively opened my eyes and checked his state.

"You okay?" I asked her to help her try to sit down.

"Hhahh, are you worried about me now?" he smiled at me.

"Sound?"

"Yes, his name is Alphard. Don't you know him? Wait, is he lying?"

From the beginning he liked to talk nonsense, so why did I keep swallowing everything he said raw?

"Alphard. Right, I know him. I came to take him away. If that's the case, you have no other choice."

Again he smiled. What the fuck? Why is he smiling like that to a fellow man? Damn, I think this guy's gone wrong. I'll keep my distance from him.

"By the way, I can't move well for some time to come. So, I'm handing me the next guest that's coming."

"Guests? Whatchu mean?"

"Oh, he's coming. He's been chasing me this far, so please serve him well. I will go back to sleep to recover quickly. So, I leave it to you" Almach fixed his position and went straight to sleep after that.

***

Right, I saw a guest. Another big guest, flying around like an eagle that had locked its prey and just pounced on it. Haha, hahaha. Should I run away and leave him?

"Ohoho, it seems like my time to shine has come" again Alphard appeared suddenly, speaking as a bearded old man would with his wooden cane.

"Look at him, his mane was very luxurious, his body was also stocky. Good, he's a good match for my warm-up."

I narrowed my eyes while blocking the excess light from entering my eyes. Hmm, at first I thought it was a big burly eagle.

But, after I took a better look, I already knew now. Griffins. Mythological creatures that only appear in the movies. No need to be surprised, because I'm used to it. So, he's the next guest? Be that as it may. Hobby once yes, the world does not even stop interfering.

"I'm going to run away!!" I whispered with his spirit while clenching his fists and lifting him high into the sky.

"Coward, stop you!!" It was Alphard who made my brain tremble because of the echo. "Who let you get out of here?"

"Huhh?? I don't need your permission. I don't want to die in this foreign place."

"Ey, you're not gonna die. You can't underestimate me, son. I'm really strong, Griffin's just a keroco to me" I'm sure his nose is elongated at this time. "Lend me your body for a while, and your strength. Let me have the brawl."

"I don't want to" I refused. But suddenly, I felt a painful taste from my chest. My chest feels like it's about to explode. I couldn't breathe very well, it was painful. I can't see anything, either, dark.

Ugh, motherfucker. It's painful.

My body crashed into the tree roots. I lay curled up with the pain in my unbearable chest. Cold sweat came along, for a long time I could not feel my other organs. The pain does not go away and is getting worse.

"Damn. It's like dying."

"Please hold on a little. Even if it hurts, that's the real exchange. You are not the owner of the real body, so it will be very burdened. I'll finish it as soon as possible, so you just take a break."
