Beyond The Centuries: Two Thousand Years Later
episode 2: This forest is strange~
In the midst of the wilderness, Althea slowly opened her eyes, while trying to adjust her vision to the bright sunlight. As she sat up, she looked at her surroundings, her eyes darting from one unfamiliar sight to another.
Althea Walker
W-w-wait...! Where the heck is this place! *[Anxious]*
Her heart pounded in her chest as a surge of anxiety washed over her. The sudden shift in her environment left her disoriented and alarmed. However, she she knows she have to calm down.
Althea Walker
No... I need to calm down. I must stay strong.
She scanned the area, trying to find any semblance of familiarity in the vast expanse of wilderness that stretched out before her.
While she scan the area, she saw something familiar.
Althea Walker
That thing...🧐 It's the machine!
She approached it with caution, then she examined every component of the machine, seeking any recognizable characteristics.
Althea Walker
Just as I thought, it's really the machine. But it looks worn out.
Althea Walker
Some parts are also missing. *[Disappointed]*
Upon realizing that the machine won't work out out because of the missing parts, she become frustrated.
Althea Walker
*[Sat down in the ground]* (Sigh) This is totally pointless.
Althea Walker
How can I even go back, when some parts of the machine are missing. *[Troubled]*
Althea Walker
I don't also know how to make it work. *[Irritated]*
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she let out a cry of frustration and despair. Tears swelled up in her eyes as she lay down in the ground.
As night fell, Althea remained lying on the ground, lost in thoughts and the weight of her situation. She only noticed the time when hunger begun to gnaw her stomach.
Althea Walker
*[Stomach Growling]*
Althea Walker
Ahh......I'm hungry...... *[Lifeless tone of voice]*
Althea pushed herself from the ground and sat up.
Althea Walker
Should I go hunting.......? But it's already dark.
Althea Walker
*[Stomach Growling]*
Althea Walker
Ugh... Seems like I can't skip a meal tonight.
Althea Walker
Let's see first what I got in my pocket.
She began searching through her pockets, hoping to find any tools that could aide her in hunting for food.
Althea Walker
I found one. ( ╹▽╹ )
She was quite relieve to have something in her pocket, but when she looked again at the knife in her hand, she suddenly reliaze something.
Althea Walker
Why do I have pocket knife in my pocket?
Althea Walker
*[Thinking deeply]*
Althea Walker
Oh I remember now, this is Jake's knife. Oh my gosh, I forgot to return it.
Althea Walker
Anyway, I'm going to hunt.
As she walks through the forest, she kept her senses sharp, attuned to any movement or sounds that might lead to a potential food source.
Althea Walker
*[Uneasiness]*
Althea Walker
Strange, I can't spot any living creature.
Althea Walker
{💭: Why is it very quiet? I've been wandering here for about an hour, but heard nothing, not even the chirping of crickets.}
Althea Walker
My instincts tells me something is amiss here.
