Chapter 0: Drown In the Lull of Memory
All he had remembered was he had gone to the water, enjoying himself with every splash. He might have stepped forward once, twice, he could not remember. All he knew was he stepped forward. Suddenly, the depths of the water swallowed him. He gasped for air, he raised his hands for help, desperately calling for someone to rescue him.
He might have looked ridiculous for the moment, flapping those hands of his 8-year old self but he need to survive, now. He keeps on preventing himself to submerge in water but he failed. His vision darkened and he felt the cold, salty water eat him.
He could see the light passing through the waters and pass through him. Half-conscious, he reached for the light but all he had been was go down, down the abyss of this large body of water. He finally closed his eyes and prepared himself for what they called "death" when someone, no, something flapped beside him.
He felt himself being lifted up, the pressure of being forced out of the water. Surface tension. He took a glimpse on his saver, he looked like a human but he's shining under the light, scales? He might be hallucinating, but then again, he did not fight back. He's too weak to fight back. He looked at his mystery saver and there, he saw it looked at him, staring with those green eyes, two shallow lakes looking straight at him. It smiled at him and that put him at ease. For that moment, he felt safe.
He felt himself being put down on the shore, bits of sands touching his now wet and salty skin. He groaned but he did not open his eyes. Soar from being in the salty waters.
He felt the sun heat him up, his clothes drying, becoming sticky when he heard a voice. A rather panicked voice of a woman and a much softer voice of a kid entailed with terror.
He heard rustling on the sands beside him. The woman keeps on calling his name, pushing at his chest, tugging and shaking his shoulder while the kid started to cry. His vision went black again and then...
"Alfred-san. Alfred-san, please wake up."
They said sea creatures bring bad luck.

A/N: A celebratory story because I got 300+ views for my story "Mint-coloured Umbrella". Man! Thanks for reading that one even though the story is somewhat stereotypical. I hope you like this one. I was originally going to make this as a one-shot but I have plans for the further chapters of it. Wish me luck and perseverance.
Love,

EDIT:
A/N: Hello everyone! Well, if anyone I reading this, thank you. :D
Well, I have this concept for quite a while now, actually the concept is from 2014 but I started to make it again, since it’s summer and everything.
This is a series but do not expect fast updates because I’m not a good writer and I always have writer’s block per se. But, I’ll try my best to make this. Hope you enjoyed.
hikikomori-kuma out!
