Sirius

Enryu!" The girl yelled, her loud voice echoing through the room as she stopped in front of the red-haired man.

"Sirius..." The man said softly while looking at the girl "You really climbed the tower... I didn't expect that..."

"N-now that I climbed the tower, will you let me be with you now? can we talk freely with each other like back then...?" she said between her huffs and puffs as she looks at the man straight in the eyes.

The man looked at her the same as his eyes soften "I'm sorry..." he said, breaking the eye contact between them.

The girl looked at him confusingly.

The man sighed "Sirius... In this world, no matter what we'll do, we'll always have no room to speak freely..." he said as he turned his back on the girl.

"w-what do you mean!?" The girl said as her voice starts to rise.

"Sirius... Forget about me."

"W-what? N-No way!" The girl tried to reach for the guy.

"Sirius, We aren't fit for eachother. You and that ඞ𝒍ɛx should get together... I can send you back outside the tower... live peacefully outside the tower and stay away from danger. Get married and live your life to the fullest, forget about fighting... I'm sorry for dragging you into this mess. You shouldn't have entered the tower in the first place" he said and as the girl tried to touch him, he disappeared into nothingness, leaving the girl in the empty room by herself.

———— 12 years ago ————

"Hmm, when have I last seen a human again...?" The girl said softly while looking into pure nothingness.

"What are you saying, human?" A voice was heard as it echoed around the empty cave.

"Well... I was thinking what It would feel like to have a friend" She lay on the ground and looked at the sky.

The other voice sighs before speaking again "Am I not your friend?" he chuckled before continuing to talk "I'm hurt"he said.

"N-no!" They quickly got up and looked at a black orb and grabbed it "I- I mean a friend where they are a human... you know where they have a pair of hands and feet" the girl tried to explain while visibly panicking.

The man chuckled at the girl "Who said I don't have a pair of hands and feet?" he said as he's voice sounds smugly.

"If you don't believe me, you can enter the tower and see me."

"The tower? you're in there?"

"Yes, I am... How about you climb the tower just to meet me?"

"Will we see each other quickly...?"

"Well... we won't see each other as soon as you enter the tower but... You'll find other humans that you can interact with and be friends that you can depend on and rely on but... I advise you not to trust them too much."

"Why not?"

"Well... though some humans are friendly... a lot of them aren't... most humans seek wealth and power; most humans are greedy and only think about themselves."

"Huh? why?"

"it's because they are a human. Its in their nature"

"I see... but, you're talking as if you also aren't a human mr. voice"

The voice chuckled "That's because I'm not, I'm a god."

"Pft" The girl stifled a laugh "Mister. voice, gods aren't real."

"Oh? and why do you think that?"

"If gods are real, we could've been talking face to face right now... that's what I've been wishing all these years.... but yet, still no answer"

"But they are answering you right now, come to the tower- you know what? I just realized we never really exchanged names, so I'll introduce myself again- properly this time."

"My name is Enryu, I am god."

"Oh. You weren't kidding."

Enryu sigh "Whatever... what's your name?"

"Eh... well um... I don't really have one" The girl chuckled.

"Seriously? Damn... guess I'll give you a name."

The girl's eyes lit up and got up excitedly "really? that's so nice of you mister- ah wait no- Enryu!"

Enryu chuckled and thought for a bit before talking. "What about Sirius?"

"Sirius? why Sirius?"

"Look at the sky"

"Why?"

"Just look at the sky and tell me what caught your eye."

"The moon"

"Well- yeah but- I mean other than the moon."

"Oh, well I guess that bright star over there" The girl- no, Sirius said as she pointed at a star that shines so brightly in the middle of the night.

"That star is called Sirius."

"Ohh" Sirius chuckled "So you named me after a star? why?"

"Because you shined so brightly that a god noticed you, a powerful god I might say."

"Ahh... what does that mean?"

No answer.

"Enryu? what does that mean?"

No answer.

"Enryu!" Sirius started to raise her voice a little louder.

No answer

"ENRYU!" She finally yelled, but still, no answer.

SIRIUS'S POV

It's been a week since Enryu left me... and i'm currently thinking if I should climb the tower or not.

It's been an hour... "I miss him... fuck it, im going in"

"Woah... so this is the tower..." I said while looking around.

"uhm... excuse me...?" A man suddenly touched my shoulder.

"eek-"

"eh-? h-hey! calm down!"

"oh... sorry... i'm not really used to being touched..."

"Oh... haha no worries, I should be the one apologizing for suddenly touching you" the man smiled at me.

"Im jyugo by the way" he took his hands out.

I shook his hands and smiled back "Hello! i'm Sirius"

"Sirius huh... Are you joking or are you really 'Sirius?' Jyugo joke and I look at him weirdly.

Jyugo laughed at he's own joke before talking again "Did you get it? Ahh whatever, we're still missing one more person" He said and looked around.

"Missing one more person? what do you mean?" My head tilts a bit.

"eh? You need 3 or more people so you can continue to climb up the tower, do you not know that?"

"oh... I didn't know that"

jyugo chuckled at the girl "Do you seriously not know anything about the tower?"

"Gah! Sorry" Sirius said as she emitted a dark aura around her

Just as jyugo was about to answer her, someone talked

"Do you guys need another member?" A man with a black hair said.

"Oh yeah! we do actually, you wanna join?" Jyugo went to the man happily.

"Yeah, if it's ok?"

"What's your name?" Sirius said softly.

"I'm Alex, who's the leader by the way?"

"Leader? ngeh we don't need that" jyugo said "But well, I guess sirius can be the leader I guess"

"I literally don't know anything, why am I the leader"

"I can't take anything seriously so I can't be the leader, sorry guys"

*Sirius sighs and looks at alex*

"You look dependable, you'll be the leader" Sirius said as she observed alex.

"That's... that's how you're gonna decide who the leader is...?" Alex said looking at sirius as if she said something weird.

"Eh... well I mean... I don't know anything about the tower so I can't really be the leader..."

"Its too bothersome to be a leader so, no thanks" Jyugo said and looked around.

"ok... what if I don't know how to lead..."

"Don't worry about it, We don't need to make any plans or anything, let's just do what we want" jyugo looked at alex again and was about to speak when a voice interrupted him.

"WELCOME NEW COMERS."

A strange voice was heard.

"huh? what the fuck was that?" Jyugo said and looked around.

"I don't know. hide behind my back, I'll protect the two of you" Alex said and took out his weapon.

Jyugo took sirius's wrist and ran on alex's back.

"NOW DON'T BE SCARED, I DON'T BITE."

The voice chuckled.

...I AM CALUS, THE ONE WHO WILL SEE IF YOU ARE WORTHY TO CLIMB THE TOWER....

"Can we see your face?" alex said and started to relax.

NO, MY NAME IS ALL YOU NEED KNOW.

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST FIND THE GOLDEN EGG. THERE IS A TOTAL OF 300 EGGS AND THERE ARE OVER 900 PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. IF YOU MANAGE TO GET ONE GOLDEN EGG YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO A HOTEL WHERE YOU CAN RELAX AND WAIT UNTIL THE TIMER IS DONE. NOW IF YOU FAIL, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY GET KICKED OUT OF THE TOWER AND WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS UNTIL YOU CAN ENTER AGAIN. NOW, ANY QUESTIONS?

"What happens if you fail to get a golden egg on time?" A random person asked.

YOU'LL FAIL

"Is fighting aloud?" Sirius looked to her right and found a red haired boy with a large sword on his back.

HMM... THAT SOUNDS INTERESTING... YEAH SURE, FIGHTING IS ALOUD, YOU CAN KILL SOMEONE IF THEY GET IN YOUR WAY.

Alex looked at the man and the man saw us and walked towards us.

"You guys accepting another person?" He asked.

"Don't worry, I'm strong" The man continued.

"What if we refuse, will you hurt us?" Sirius said.

The man chuckled at the girls words.

"No, don't worry. So is that a no?"

"No, you can join us... I guess" sirius said as she calmed down a little.

"What's your name?" Alex said taking sirius's hand and pulling her into his back

———————

"Name's red" 'red' said and smiled.

"Red? why red?" Sirius said, clearly confused.

"Well, why not?" Red chuckled.

"Let's go" Alex took my hand and took me close to him.

Jyugo whistled and followed Alex while chuckled.

————————

Alex and Red were fighting while Sirius and Jyugo were hiding behind their back

Red threw some fireballs that exploded once it reaches the enemies while Alex runs to the enemy and slashes them with his sword.

It took us quite alot of time before we finally found an egg and we instantly got teleported to a hotel.

“Ahhhh, finally done!” Jyugo said as he relax on the bed.

“I’ll cook dinner” Alex said went to the kitchen

——————————

“Dinners ready!” Alex yelled.

After eating we immediately went to our room and slept.

—————————

"Hey you there?" I heard a familiar voice said, i looked around and found a weird looking orb "who are you?" I asked and it just laughed but somehow that laugh reminds me of someone "did you really forget me in a short amount of time? How cruel!" The unknown voice said I just looked at it still confused at what they meant until i finally remembered who's voice that was "e-enryu!" I yelled happily hugging the unknown orb "you finally remembered sirius" He said clearly happy that you remembered "enryu you jerk! Why did you suddenly disappeared I was scared i wouldn't be able to hear your voice again!" I yelled sadly holding my tears "shhhh 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 im sorry" he said "What do you mean you are sorry?!?" I yelled clearly mad at him for hes lack of explaining "im sorry. You will know soon" he said making me more mad but before I could reply I woke up.
