A New Beginning Part 1

opening his eyes the first thing Ethan sees is a sky without any star's light just two illuminating moons.

he could see everything thanks to moonlights

as he remembers the events that took place he jumped in fright looking around for any signs of danger.

The scene around him is strange there is a lot of blood mixed with dirt and dried footsteps cheetahs that are getting away,  There weren't any animals or people around him just some beast voices coming from the forest ahead.

after making sure there weren't any threats he started searching for wounds by looking and touching every part of his body in a panic way, to his surprise he didn't find any, just Torn clothes, dried blood and soil.

he couldn't make sense of any of it, his mind was a mess trying to figure out what was going on or what he experienced was real so he tried to calm himself down by taking a couple of deep breaths as his eyes wandered to the sky.

watching the two moons almost in front of each other he grasped that he wasn't on earth anymore but it didn't matter right now what matters was to find a safe place and try to figure out what hell is going on.

standing up , he goes to get his backpack which is a couple steps away to return in the cave, as much as he hates to admit it the cave is the safest place he knows.

once he touches his backpack a golden light comes from it making a 'wooosh' and after passing through him disappears in the rock behind him.

it scarred the s*** out of him that he didn't have a chance to react.

He didn't know or care what it was all he wanted to be done with all of this s*** so with full speed he  dashed to the cave with his backpack.

once he was inside observing the surroundings by a flashlight and noticed the cave was still the same making him signed in relief, there were no signs of animals or anything, not that any animal could past The Rock at the entrance but he was paranoid and didn't want to leave anything to chance not after what he experienced out there, he hoped at least one of the people he came with be there but all he got was disappointment.

sitting down in the cave he starts to wonder in his own thoughts; obviously the cave brought them here (whatever here is) and he didn't know how to get back home or where his friends are, hopefully they survived the cheetahs attack and are out there somewhere.

thinking about them & his situation he couldn't tolerate anguish in his heart and starts crying quietly.

inside the cave was dead silent only a sniffing sound was heard from time to time.

He didn't know why this happened to him, he had a whole life in front of him but now he's stuck in this place alone ,he has read quite the novels about the similar things happening to the protagonist of the story that he fantasies about but really happening to him all he wants right now is to go back home.

Even if he somehow managed to magically go home what he should tell Reza's family, that he abandoned him in a world?he died on Zagreus mountain?

Can he live with such guilt?

after crying his heart content he did feel better but all of that was temporary he didn't have a lot of food or water so he couldn't last here much longer.

 he should look for others, Reza always seemed to know what to do in unexpected situations.

 If he can find them their chance of survival is better together.

as he was lost on his thoughts he heard his backpack unzipping looking at it with tears in his eyes he sees the same golden light is near his backpack so he panics and with all his might strikes the golden light by his fist.

the result wasn't what he expected, his hand passed through the light and stroked the ground of the cave as the result he broke his wrist.

he screams in pain and holds his wrist with the other hand watching it in astonishment as pain fades away with his injuries in a few seconds 'so he has superpowers now' he thought, this day it's getting weirder and weirder by seconds.

even so if it weren't for circumstances he would be thrilled but at last he has more concerning things in his mind, right now the most conservative thought is what the hell is that golden light and what it wants for him.

he looked around and he couldn't find it anywhere until he heard his backpack unzipping again.

this time he didn't panic whatever it was he couldn't hurt it and it didn't hurt him either so he watched as the golden light unzipped his backpack going into it and throwing its content out one after another.

it seemed it was some sort of creature and was looking for something.

soon it came out from the backpack next to it was a chocolate bar.

it looked as if it was trying to eat the chocolate but it couldn't Open the chocolate package, the light around it became dim a little so he could finally see what it was.

it was a fairy the size of a knuckle it seemed as if it was made out of fire, and shaped like a teenage girl with butterflies wings, her private parts of her body were covered by flame looking like a dress.

Ethan was num by new so many strange things happened that he started to question his sanity but he didn't know what to do except watch this little creature behaviour to determine if it's a threat or not.

he could barely remember the stories that his grandmother told him when he was a child about fairies that they were hideous creatures living in no man lands and the abandoned places , stole children while driving anyone who saw them to madness and something about being made out fire and dancing around it but wait that wasn't the fairies story it was the jinn's, obviously the fear and anxiousness is affecting his mind the fairies story was something about naked women seducing alone men near trees at night killing them or making them obsessive love mad, truly strange woman his grandmother was telling that sort of storys to a child making him have nightmares at his childhood, 'don't let your thoughts go stray ' he said to himself but this creature was nothing like those stories infact it's as it came out of Disney version of Peter Pan.
