Chapter 65

Against the warmth of the sun in the daylight, a valley bloomed with life in the mere distance. The soft sound of the wind resonated against the quietness that slept along the little stems of grass, gently shaking them up. The little stems then took into the air and danced between the white, gentle leaves of the trees that jotted towards the sky. 

Flowers made from the droplets of the moon's waterfalls bloomed with the colors of violet and white, their long petals shining with a pinkish glow when the brightness of the sun caressed their soft surfaces with much gentleness. And the grass, with a deep shade that varied from the brightness of chartreuse to the paleness of lavender, softly moved back and forth with a rhythm that the wind had created just for it.

 The distant sound of birds singing joined with the wind in a mixture of high-pitched chirping and cawing, creating a melody you wouldn't hear anywhere else, not even in the purest of dreams.

And between the casted shadows of the trees in a private area secluded from any critter, there laid a dormant creature against the little dancing stems. To no one's surprise, little fireflies hung out close to the creature; some of them stood on top of the creature's sleeping figure as they stretched while others tested the ground below them, lighting themselves up to match the beauty around them. As a soft breeze brushed against their delicate little wings, the fireflies shook themselves up and flickered their wings, lifting themselves up with the breeze that had journeyed with them and welcomed them to the beauty of the afterlife.

And as the fireflies buzzed away into the mere distance, the melody of the afterlife continued on. The sounds, though they were somewhat similar to the chaotic and out-of-tune choruses of the jungle, were a distorted melody as the dominant creature lifted his deer-like ears, finally waking up from his slumber.

The beauty slowly lifted his head up with his nose and ears twitching to smell and hear everything that was going on. His hand lifted from the soft grass and held it a little distance away from his eyes to combat the bright sunshine that seemed to come from everywhere around him, however, as the breeze swirled around him in a warm welcome, the creature shivered and crossed both his arms around himself to cover it from the wind that felt like ice against his bare skin. 

The creature looked down and suddenly flattened his ears with embarrassment at realizing that his body was completely bare, letting anyone who came upon him find him in his absolute glory. As he glanced from side to side to look at what to place on himself, a little critter fluttering with the breeze came to settle on his nose, taking the creature's attention away from his surroundings as he stared at the little blue, six-legged friend flapping its pretty wings at him.

"O-Oh, hello." Yeonjun suddenly let out, uncovering his body as he extended his hand out with mere curiosity at the dragonfly. He tilted his head and his eyes rounded cutely when the dragonfly buzzed around him as it rapidly examined him before settling on Yeonjun's spread-out index finger.

"Cute," Yeonjun cooed to himself before lifting his head to finally take in his surroundings. His brown eyes gazed at everything, every flower, every leaf in every tree, and every puff between the bright blue canvas. His pupils moved from side to side as they took every detail of the valley in, trying to grasp this new reality as his eyebrows furrowed, concern pooled in his belly as he wondered where his friends were and why they weren't with him at the moment.
