Dream catcher

A knight is often identified as someone that strong enough to give safety. Mostly, a
man, but what if there is a person who could be the one who crushed this
statement?

The birds are already chirping at the branches, sunlight shines through the
curtains, waking the girl who was curled up on her bed awake. With a slight groan,
she is stretching her muscles. With a swift motion, she got herself ready for school.
Grabbing her bag and lunch box. Well, it’s quiet as usual while their parents are
already leaving for work early in the morning.
Reaching the school as a destination, she felt just like usual, nothing changed.
Putting on the average girl in high school as a facade. Until someone breaks
it.“Aizennn.....!” a high-pitched voice called from behind, making another girl turn
around to greet her, this person known as Chizuru. After a lot of chit-chat, they go
to the class and still make a conversation through the amount of time.
Unfortunately, Aizen wasn’t watching her way and caused an accident right away.
“Sorry” Aizen quickly apologized as her friend helped to stand up on her own feet.
Meanwhile, the boy in another way just left immediately with a huff of annoyance,
without even looking at both Aizen and her friend. “What a strange person” they
say at the same time after seeing the boy’s reaction, maybe because of how often
they’re hanging out sometimes. Something strange fell from the boy’s bag without
him knowing, a handmade object that consisted of a willow hoop with a woven
sinew net or web on the inside of the hoop. Within the webbing, beads, charms,
and found objects may be woven in. Aizen takes it, showing it to her best friend
quickly before they rush to the class because the bell rang. They had no choice but
to keep it safe first.
“Doreiku” Aizen said to herself when staring at it thing, she had already
searched about it. A dream catcher, basically a myth origin from America, that
thing had a little paper rolled up in the middle of it with the name of the owner.
Fell asleep wasn’t her intention at first, but her eyes were somewhat heavy. The
dream catcher shone right as Aizen closed her eyelids.

 Aizen’s body flinched as she fell into nowhere, blinking her eyes in disbelief.
“What the fuck...” she cursed, cleaning the dust off her body as she gets up on her
own feet. Looking at the scenery around her, there is nothing here other than a big
tree that blocking the sunshine from above. It’s so strange yet thrilling here, she
can see the difference in this world, like the world itself being sliced in two. Night
and day seem built differently. Aizen quickly stepped forward to see where the way
brought her at the sudden event. Realizing that it was just a dream after pinching
herself, a cold sweat formed on her forehead. She was stuck in another world,
without even knowing what to do.
After a long time walking through the forest on the brighter side, Aizen found
herself ended up in villages that were different from people's houses on Earth. It
seems rather made from wood than a block of concrete but still looks comfy from
the outside. Reluctantly knock at one of the doors houses, but there is no answer
from the other side of the door. Just before she goes away from this place, Aizen
overhears a growl from behind a house. Before she could react further, a monster
that seemed from that house, broke it down. With an appearance that is half-human
and dragon-like and also a body that is covered with blood, Aizen winching in both
disgust and fear, stepped back away from that, her legs wobble but she is trying
hard to stand still, she couldn’t die here. The monster starts to raise its claw, ready
to attack Aizen in her current vulnerable state as an average human, but luck seems
on her side, there is a person that blocks the attack, preventing it from hurting the
girl. Aizen gasps as that man puts a fight in front of her and the monster loses in a
short time. Sheathing back his swords, that man reached out his hand at Aizen to
help her stand back.
“Not even had a courage to life, I see” She felt somewhat offended by that
statement, frowned, and gave the other person a silent glare although she was just
being saved from the monster. “Just kidding” he added with a smirk.
“Thanks” Aizen said half-hearted.
“Huh?” the boy not expecting to receive such gratitude after just pissed her, but
shrugs it off after that. Glancing slightly at the girl’s clothing, had no intention of
being rude but the way she was clothed like that wasn’t from this world. “Where
are you come fr-“ Not even finished his sentence, the man was startled by Aizen’s
tears.
“I wanna go home...” she sniffles wiping the tears that make her eyes blurry, it’s so
embarrassing for her to react this way, but the previous event scared her off and
made her feel so helpless.
