Cunning General Si Ning

Darkness. That was all Si Ning could see the moment he opened his eyes, it was too dark that he was a bit confused and the odd part was he could tell he was standing.

"Where am I?" Si Ning blinked and squinted yet he couldn't see a thing. "Where is this?" He asked foolishly despite having a feeling he would never get a reply.

This made Si Ning blinked rapidly with the fear that he may be the one who couldn't see anything and after blinking and seeing it was still dark first made him swallowed the lump in his throat, he raised his hands and was about to rub his eyes when it instantly became bright and it was so bright and hot that he could feel the heat from the sun and it was getting abnormally hot, the brightness was blinding that he had to raise his hands to shade his eyes from the brightness then he realised there was nothing in the space that his hands supposed to be.

What?

Looking down to where his arms should be to see nothing threw Si Ning heart in turmoil and his heart accelerated. He could feel his feet getting hot and when he looked down he almost fainted to see he had no feet, overall he had no physical body.

"What is this!" Si Ning yelled and his voice echoed in his ear.

The fear of having no physical body sent Si Ning's heart accelerating at an abnormal pace like it would reap out of his chest and he spun around looking at his surroundings to see he was in the middle of a desert.

Seeing that he had no physical body yet he could see around him, he could feel the heat from the sand he was standing on and he could feel his hands yet he couldn't see his body.

"Who is there?." Si Ning called helplessly as he twirled around desperately looking for someone.

After thinking about floating and after jumping several times to see that he couldn't even float and there was no one around made the feeling of loneliness overwhelmed him when he realised that no body would find him in that desert because he was like a spirit. He suddenly felt afraid and he had never been that afraid that he felt like he was going insane.

"Help! help me!! Please, somebody!!!" Si Ning called out.

There was no mountain yet his voice kept echoing and Si Ning felt the urgent need to find someone. His heart was beating so loud that he could hear the thump sounding repeatedly in his ears. He tried to place his non-existence hands on his chest but he was unable to feel any contact and this made his non-existence knees to buckled and he started to fall.

Before he had contact with the ground, the scenery changed and he felt like he just submerged into a massive body of water and he was sinking, he could feel the water around his body and he tried to swim, waving his hands to see he was still in the state of having no physical body yet he could feel his hands waving and him moving towards the surface but an unknown forced suddenly pushed him downward and he tried to swim up but it didn't work this time. As he was desperately trying to swim, he saw a hazy figure standing above the water. He didn't even think how odd it was to be standing on water, he was more concerned about getting help and when he wanted to call for help by flapping around the scenery once again changed.

A dream?

This time he found himself standing on the grass and when he turned around, he saw he was now on a green field and he also knew he was dreaming yet he could feel he was in a deep sleep that he wouldn't be able to wake up without help. He needed someone to shake him awake and end his nightmare because he doesn't know when the scene would change again.

"Somebody..." He called turning around and he saw a person miles away from him that they appeared like an ant. Without thinking, Si Ning quickly carried his none existence body and started running towards them.

With each step, his heartbeats twice that it was almost unbearable but he knew he was dreaming and he would do everything in his power to wake up and despite running and running till he was out of breath. Looking up he knew he had closed the gap but the figure was still far from him.

"Oi... can you hear me!" Si Ning yelled at the top of his voice.

Despite knowing it was a dream, despite trying to do everything in his power to wake up and despite knowing the person standing in that distance was far from him yet he had an urgent feeling to close the distance between them. He was about to start running again when felt something shaking lightly.

"Si Ning Si Ning Si Ning..."

He kept hearing his name but it sounded muffled and far away yet Si Ning turned around hoping to find the source of the voice he saw nothing. He quickly turned to focus on the figure far away and started running but each step he took was heavier than the last that he had to come to a stop unable to move forward.

"Si Ning... wake up wake up."

"I am here, where are you!" Si Ning shouted as the scenery changed once again and he found himself in the middle of the woods and the grounds were covered in snow, he started shivering because of the cold temperature even though he had no body.

Si Ning quickly looked around to see if the figure was also there but the figure was nowhere to be found. He felt his body shaking, it was different this time since it wasn't caused by the cold then he felt something pulling him and he gave in, letting the unknown hands circled him.

"Si Ning... wake up."

The voice finally reached him because Si Ning flew his eyes opened to see Song Feng worried gaze on him and he blinked trying to clear his head and calm down his heart that was beating fast, relieved to had woken up from the terrible dream.

When his heart finally started beating at a normal pace that was when he quickly glanced at his surroundings, he was glad to see he was in his room and he directed his attention to Song Feng, looking directly at him. It was odd to see he woke up in Song Feng's arms because his head was practically on Song Feng's laps and this made him narrowed his eyes.

Song Feng might have been the one that woke him up, saving him from his nightmare but that doesn't mean he should lift and place his head on his laps and this development made Si Ning uncomfortable.
