[S1] Ch21: Fiendedge capital #9

As I thought the bird was finally leaving, something from my hair dropped. I looked at it. I stared at it. The thing was the hairpin Melissa gave to me. It was beautiful, unlike her. I really like the hairpin. I wore it until now since I promised. To be honest, I just wanted to keep it since it's a shiny shimmering splendid. The jade was glowing a green green grass glow. The nature calls, like my eyes.

I picked it up. However, as I looked back up again, I saw large eyes. The rainbow ostrich's eyes is very close to me. I didn't move. I then said. "... Hey, rainbow ostrich, you're not after my head too right?" The birdy continued sticking its eyes to my face. I wore the hairpin back to my hair, since hairpins are for hairs. "You're not right? Right? Want to be my pet?"

The bird raised its head. Reading the atmosphere, I knew that this bird is up to do something I won't like. The bird doesn't seem like it wants to be my pet. Making this bird as a pet? Nevermind that. It's kind of a waste but, I think I need to kill this guy. What's the deal of this bird anyways? Why did a bird eating heads suddenly appeared? Just why?

"Tch." I clicked my tongue. I won't deny, I'm frightened a bit. Nightmares can be scary, much more, a brutal one. I slowly stepped back. While doing so, I started chanting a fire ball in a low voice. The bird stayed there, corocka cakacking me while wriggling its head as if it's toying with me. I finally got a good distance.

As I'm almost finished chanting, the bird suddenly hopped towards me. I smiled. I smiled brightly. I really hoped this bird will die in a single fireball. I still don't to die in my dream. I still want to have fun. I still don't plan to wake up yet. I want to dream. Just at the right moment, I finished chanting until the last word. I shot the fire ball towards the bird. It didn't dodge. I managed to hit it. The bird's feather started to burn.

I leaped towards the side and dodged the landing bird. The bird was burning. The fire spreads out too fast. The clothes nearby also started to be on fire. I walked away as far as I can. I was breathing heavily. I didn't know why, but I felt very exhausted. The bird was rampaging left and right. I watched. I headed towards the entrance. I noticed that the store was somehow shaking, and the walls are getting cracks that gets larger as the bird goes more crazy. I immediately opened the door and headed out.

"Hello?" I asked to the air, hoping for anyone to hear me. I am now on the road, there was no one even walking around. There are a few bodies without heads that are scattered on the road. They aren't moving at all. Seeing the road like this was strange. But then again, this is a dream so this thing isn't that really strange than I'm thinking it to be right now. Really though, what is happening? I want to know.

Looking back at the store, I heard a loud sound. The sound is as if a building is about to crash. I walked as far as possible. Through the hole that the bird made earlier, I can see the bird inside the store, getting weaker and weaker. The bird was still covered with fire. The bird was trying to head towards me. Seconds later, it the thing that I predicted finally happened. The store gave up and crashed, while I received a fog of dust.

"Wow, amazing." I said to myself. I clapped. I didn't know why, I just felt like clapping. Or maybe I'm congratulating myself? Whatever. I now see the store as a ruins. A very unusable ruins. It's now, you know? Pebbles. Pieces to pieces. Crash to crash.

"... Wait a minute..." I muttered. I had a sudden realization. I had a sudden question. Where's father? Wasn't he inside too? I was asking myself. I then climes up through the rubbles. I tried to pull atleast a few rubbles up, but I wasn't able to, even if I'm using all my strength. I was weak. I was wondering, what if I accidentally erased father from my dream? What if... I don't know. I don't know how will I react. I don't know what I'm about to do.

"Wait, this is papa we are talking about." I told myself. Like, papa is strong, I think. Well, if papa got crashed here, then I can just revive him by commanding my brain. Heh, I didn't need to worry after all. "Haha."

I then looked below, I saw the head of the bird earlier, outside of the rubbles. The bird's whole body was under, only its head was out. I looked at it. I stared at it. I headed down. I stood In front of it. I continued to stare at it. For some reason, I was hungry. I don't have my creampuffs with me anymore. I was very hungry. I started to drool. I sat down. I touched the bird's burnt head that doesn't have its once beautiful and colorful feather.

My instincts told me, I should eat it or I'll die from hunger. I wanted to eat it. I want to eat it. I'm hungry. I was hesitating, but I'm really hungry. I want some chicken. Now, a bird is in front of me. I don't care if it's not even cooked, I'm just hungry. I moved my mouth closer to it. I then took a bite.
