Chapter 61 - Interlude The Dream of a Trapped Bird (1/2)

Alice had a dream.

Inside her dream, the world was crying.

Thousand of lives died daily, and disasters hit on different parts of the earth.

A monster, wearing blue skin, manipulated the strings of the world, laughing to the destruction he caused.

A fiend made an expression of greed, wishing to devour all the life.

A young man, of Asiatic descent, wielded a sword to banish hundreds of monsters that attacked the humans.

A young woman, wearing a Buddhist kasaya, closed her eyes and used her mind to find the root of all evil; before commanding her brothers and sisters to vanquish it.

A little boy used his body to stop a crumbling building, protecting the people inside and receiving the praises of everybody.

A bolt of lightning protected the phoenix from foreigner invaders, and the phoenix gave him her heart, using her fires to consume everything that wants to do him harm.

A girl and her cat ran through the streets of a city, escaping from their pursuers and searching comfort in the company of each other.

The demon laughed while killing the heroes of men.

The greedy man tried to manipulate the hero to do his bidding.

And destruction befell to the world.

When the dream finally finished, only the cries of the world could be heard.

When Alice opened her eyes, a white room appeared in her sight,

Her sickly body was lying down in a clean bed with many intravenous needles to help her body to continue living. She had long blond hair, but it had lost its luster due to all the suffering she had lived through the years.

At that moment, two men entered the room.

The first one was a typical doctor, wearing a white coat and round glasses. He walked towards the devices showing Alice's state and began to write some things in his book. When he finished, he signaled the man behind him to enter.

Different from the first man, the second one was wearing a black suit while putting a grave expression on his face. With a nod of understanding towards the doctor, he came before Alice and opened his mouth.

"How did it go, 1040? Were you successful?"
