Prologue
In the darkness, the intermittent sobs were particularly clear in the silent night. A little girl was squatting on the ground shivering with her knees in her arms. Her clothes were completely soaked, and her hair was messy, as if it had been torn and thin.
She looked particularly distressed. She didn't know how long she had been crying alone in this dark place. Her voice was hoarse from crying, but no one came to comfort her.
Suddenly, a low and lazy voice came from the darkness, asking her: "Why are you crying? No one taught you that it is impolite to disturb other people's sleep?"
The little girl raised her head in surprise. Her tear-stained face was pretty and cute, with a little baby fat. She looked about 6 or 7 years old. She looked around, but there was still a deathly darkness all around, just like the voice just now.
It's just like an auditory hallucination.
"Who! Who is talking to me?" the girl asked loudly, not afraid at all. Maybe she was deliberately emboldened and trying to show off her strength.
After all, it's so dark here, and if a person's voice suddenly appears, and there's no one in sight, it might be a ghost or some kind of demon that comes out at night.
The man's laughter came again in the darkness, and then he said: "You are young, but you are quite brave. What are you doing here? The adults never told you that this place is dangerous? And how did you get in?"
"
The little girl stood up and replied: "I don't know where this is. When I came to my senses, I ended up here inexplicably. Can you tell me how to get out of here?"
After the little girl finished asking, there was silence again. The girl walked around, but still couldn't see anyone. It was like a vast and endless black area, and the darkness swallowed everything up. No one responded.
The little girl suddenly felt hesitant and said to herself: "It seems that I am dreaming. Besides Master, who else will pay attention to this monster like me?"
"Who said you are a monster?" The man's voice suddenly sounded again.
The little girl followed the voice and kept moving forward, saying: "Everyone said that, saying that I have no father or mother, and that I am a little monster born from the water. Sometimes I obviously didn't do anything, but there was something in my hand.
It suddenly froze, and the kitten that my senior brother and sister gave me froze to death. Everyone called me a monster and said I was not worthy of being with them, but I really didn’t mean to..."
"It's just a dead kitten. It's worth making a fuss about. I think they are blind. Facing a power that is stronger than themselves, they are not only afraid, but also think of ways to reject it." The man's voice was full of contempt.
"What you said doesn't seem right. Not everyone is like this. Master was very kind to me. He gave me new clothes, took me home, and taught me spells. Without him, maybe I would have died long ago.
"The little girl quickly argued.
The man sneered with great disdain and asked: "Since your master is so good to you, why don't you go to him for help instead of crying here? Doesn't your master care about you anymore?"
The little girl shook her head violently and said, "No, Master, he has been very busy recently and has a lot of things to do. I... don't want him to worry."
"Huh, that's the trouble you humans have. You like to deceive yourself and others and have wishful thinking. You've been here for so long and no one has come to find you. I'm afraid your master doesn't care about your life or death at all."
The man's gloating tone made the girl a little dissatisfied. She raised her voice and said anxiously: "You are lying! My master is not such a person!"
"I'm lying? Do you know where this place is? A place where even demons dare not step into. No one has ever been able to walk out from here. Your soul has been away for too long. If no one pulls your soul back,
, you will stay here forever." The man said.
The girl didn't understand what he was saying at all, but she just felt that if she stayed in this dark place forever, she would not want to die. The girl started to panic, but thinking that since this man was talking to her here,
He should also know how to leave here, so he asked: "Can you help me leave here? I will repay you."
When the man heard this, he laughed wildly, and the laughter resounded all around. The girl looked back and forth on the spot, but she still didn't see the man's true body.
After the laughter, the man's voice came slowly, "You little girl disturbed my sweet dreams, why do you think I should help you? How can you repay me if you can't fight back?"
"I don't have the ability to repay you now, but I will definitely do so in the future!" the girl vowed, but then she thought about it and felt that this person was unreliable, so she asked tentatively: "Are you like me and don't know how to get out?
Otherwise there is nothing here, why would you stay here?"
The man didn't respond for a long time, and the girl became even more panicked, so she walked around, shouting as she walked: "Hey, where have you been? Why don't you talk?" In the silent space, the girl could only hear her own footsteps, and floating sounds around her from time to time.
Wisps of purple smoke came and flowed past her like running water. The girl stared at them curiously and reached out to hold them, but she couldn't hold anything.
"I advise you to stay still. If you continue to wander around, you will be swept away by the turbulence here." The sudden voice startled the girl who was immersed in this strange and strange place, and she turned around suddenly.
, and saw a faint purple light not far away, and the sound came from there. Following the light, the girl was surprised to see a huge purple crystal, and there seemed to be a person inside the crystal. The girl slowly approached, wanting to see
He could clearly see the man's appearance, but he could only see two black feather wings tightly wrapping his body in a protective form. Those sporadic purple lights fell on this man like feathers, full of a mysterious and coquettish aura.
The girl was obviously fascinated by the scene in front of her, and she unconsciously reached out to touch the cold crystal, only to see a faint light emitting from the crystal, and then the light disappeared.
"Are you talking?" The girl looked at the person in the crystal without blinking and asked.
What responded to her was deathly calm. Then, a strong golden light suddenly appeared behind the girl, and a big hole seemed to open in the black space. The girl quickly raised her hand to cover the dazzling light. The next moment, she felt her body being
A force pulled her, and then she escaped into the darkness.
In the space filled with purple smoke, it seemed that no one had ever been there. Only the purple crystal flickered in and out, emitting a faint light. After a while, the person in the crystal moved slightly, and its black wings gradually stretched out...
