Cherreads

Chapter 3 - Oasis-1

A platform appears as it is extending towards infinity,

large poles at every few hundred steps, with lavish blue tint this place was lively and radiating mysterious beauty.

"Good decision." 

Danzy who had almost decided to head Plaza again changed his mind at the last moment and arrived at this place called Oasis.

He had left his dorm in an attempt to meet some peers thus he could hold some conversations and understand how different people think.

But his plan dropped the moment he read about the second Evaluation. His appetite for conversation was gone now. All that was left was anxiety and nervousness inside him. To counter that he changed plans and is now at Oasis.

Most beautiful place inside Ernhard city.

Purple fog, which covers everything, was dense. Still, it can't hide the beauty of this place. Small small statues, Zemee altered pathways, fountains of Zemee. 

"Astonishing!" Danzy couldn't help but murmured as his gaze landed on the fountain. 

 Except this place. In the entire city there was no place where one could find liquid Zemee. With such concentration.

Looking upward. Zemee stars shined in the sky. This was the best place to admire them. 

Four stars could be seens one wasn't luminating, the other three were shining brightly, dispersing their luminosity on every corner of the city.

These stars weren't only juggernauts that spread luminosity but also were important objects to measure timing. 

Similar to us, here one day was also 24 hours long.

These stars were basis to measure that, 

At the start of every day all four are luminescent with respective colors, after 6 hours the star which wasn't in any synchronisation with any household and luminescent with blue colour turns off. After another 6 hours the star synchronised with Aeron's household turns off. Followed by another two of stars which dim gradually until the next day starts.

"What connection these stars may have with the households." a question which struck everyone of his generation struck him too.

 

"It's not time to venture into these sorts of matters, I don't have time." 

 

Following the paved path he reached in front of a door, Ophion Gate. A gate which was so long as it was ascending sky itself. Surrounded by walls which were equipped with crystals at every foot. 

A gate beyond which an enormous amount of Zemee resides, which settled the founding of this city when it was carved and created by the Outpostunit billions of years ago. Danzy couldn't help but feel excitement as he touched the gate.

Gate didn't react, unlike everything which will show somewhat reactions when touched.

Everything was created from Zemee and living beings also have minute quantity of it. That's why when one comes in contact with Zemee it reacts as it also has some quantity of Emee even tho minute.

"Legends says every Zemee wants to communicate." 

Danzy pulled back his hand, he looked at the gate, perceived it for some moments and turned left to continue his journey.

As he was walking he saw a person coming towards his direction. He wasn't wearing any cloak. Which shows he was someone from a working professional.

His body was the same as Danzy's, except for the tattoo of mark, and Zemee.

Zemee naturally is the same everywhere, Zemee beyond Ophion Gate and spread throughout the city was the same.

But Zemee of beings is somewhat the same but different at the same time. Zemee of two different people gives different kinds of aura.

And facial aspects which contain a pair of eyes and a tattoo on one side of the face. Takes lead in differentiating, as concentration of Zemee was quite higher on face, so even small differences create facial changes. 

the shape of a tattoo which is like the fingerprint of a human.

Length of that tattoo- is it small or extending towards the neck or eyes. Are markers too.

And the face itself was something which also is a differentiating factor. 

That person has a small tattoo, where Danzy's was extending both upwards towards eye and downwards towards neck too.

There wasn't anything peculiar in that person's appearance, a tattoo on the left side- male gender. 

But what catched Danzy's attention was his expression on activities.

He was walking, simultaneously analysing a slate and also he was changing emotions quite fast, so it was certain that he was using crystals too. Which was shocking ! 

Someone like Danzy couldn't perform any two things simultaneously, either he could walk or analyse a slate.

What percentage of Remee does this person have ?

Danzy was burning to ask him.

But those norms. Noone of the new generation speaks with people of working culture or say older people in society.

Damn norms, maybe they are helpful in some way but currently not. Danzy convinced himself to speak to this person.

 Just when they were a few steps away from Danzy. He mustered courage to ask.

"Exques…" I messed up Danzy widened his eyes. 

That person looked at Danzy.

"..."

He was startled by what happened.

Did he just approach me?

 

"Excuse me? If it's not odd to ask then can you tell me about your Remee percentage? I saw you were multitasking, and I was amazed. I wonder if I can do that in future too." 

"It's embarrassing to speak about my Emee percentage. But after 30% you can somehow multitask." 

"Oh, Thanks for your time." Danzy said with a bow.

"It's nothing much." He waved his hand

"I should leave then if you don't have anything more to ask." 

"Nothing more. Thanks for your time." Danzy said.

"Take care youngster." he said.

And started taking steps forward.

Damn, it was so idiotic, I'm not doing something like this again..

"This new generation has some who've broken those old norms. Times change quickly." That person whispered while remembering this incident with some which happened some years ago with his peers.

***

Danzy wandered around for a while after that encounter. until the second star turned off too.

He found a sitting area and occupied a seat.

"He had a ring on both of his index fingers." Danzy recalled things he'd noticed when he looked at him.

"Just looking at his eyes waved my thoughts."

He was scared but more excited about Remee pathway now. 

Previously or before that encounter Danzy was inclined towards passing second evaluation and having a peaceful life in this city.

But now he wants to run behind the Remee pathway too.

"Power is fascinating!" 

"I'll need Unitary, large amount of Unitary. As prices of those crystal attires and substances which help in advancements aren't cheap."

His mind started to fill with thoughts where he had gathered a staggering amount of Unitary.

Danzy shaked his head, I shouldn't waste my cognition on trivial imaginations. 

He decided to walk on this pathway now,

Danzy stood up and started heading towards the new dorm.

"Let's seclude till a day before evaluation." 

Danzy murmured as he started heading towards the dorm.

He'd walked for a while now, and 2 out of 4 stars were off and others were half luminescent. It was night time now.

He could notice many people in his vicinity now.

He was half an hour away from leaving Oasis when he saw someone with black attire the same as him, but it was more transparent than his. 

Someone with the same black cloak. but it is different from ours. Exception?

Oasis is special place created inside city.
