51 No Sleep Regime (1/2)

In the middle of a seemingly boundless desert, where everywhere you look at is sand and just sand, furious wind was blowing. In the far distance in this desert, there was a massive cloud of violent sand, howling.

Before this sandstorm, a light came out of nowhere and spat out a giant! As the giant landed on the sand, the sand floated and became smoke, covering the giant while the earth below it shook and cracked.

The giant snorted and looked around. His face became irritated, ”Urgh!! Who made me come here?!”, his voice reverberated through the windy space hoarsely.

He then looked behind, ”Did we all get seperated?!”, the giant clenched his fist tightly. His face furrowed with anger as the sandstorm that reached the sky covered him.

”ARRGHHH!!!”, the giant roared as its eyes glowed red and made the air explode by just using its voice! The sandstorm that was so violent was now following the flow of his tone, the giant's roar echoed and was heard like a volcano, followed by an earthquake. It suddenly became calm above the ground.

He closed his eyes to calm himself down. His hand reach into the pocket on his huge iron belt. The giant took out a piece of stone. It was barely glowing gold. Carved on it was a single horn and the inside was carved faded like the incandescent horn on the giant's forehead.

”That bastard is still very far away! That guy! Whoever he is who could take over my control on the Gate! I will find you and I'll torture you! Argh!”, the giant, Gorth, grunted.

Gorth then walked like he knew where he was going. Every step was a mile, and every step he took, his figure itself changes to something smaller and something looked frailer. His figure turned into a human.

Gorth walked onto the endless sand, looking like a normal traveler.

A bandage went around a scraped knee. Dana was not even looking directly at Rin even when he's treating her.

He was like a professional when taking care for a wound since he always injured himself if not everyday before.

Sylvie who was sitting beside Dana on the white bed was also silent. She was feeling a sense of guilt and awkwardness at the same time. Sylvie was no longer comfortable around Dana.

”Done!”, Rin exclaimed after he was done taping the bandages.

Dana took and her bag and was about to leave without saying anything but was stopped by Rin when he grabbed her arm, ”Hey..”, but he didn't know what to say. Is it his fault? Not only Sylvie but he too felt guilt.

Dana glared at him and pulled her arm. Rin had no choice but to let her go and leave his hand hanging.

However, Dana didn't left him but grabbed his hand, the one that was hanging in the air, and pulled him.

”Ah, see you later, Sylvie.”, Rin waved his other hand.

Sylvie blushed not because of Rin that was waving at him but she got shy when she saw Dana's cute side and the both of them as a couple.
