Ouroboros's Soul

Chapter 3: Tarot and tree



Alexis looked at her tarot deck on the pillow, she tried touching it lightly and even patting it but nothing seemed to happen.

"That's strange, I clearly heard Wiro's voice coming from the deck of cards just now. Now I can't hear anything anymore"- Alexis

She tried surfing the internet to see if she could find any information to spiritually "contact" the deck of cards. And she found a way to put the deck of cards under her pillow when she went to sleep, so she could link the deck of cards more easily.

Although it was a bit strange not knowing if it worked or not, she just had to follow the instructions on social networks.

Place the deck of cards under her pillow and then she puts her head on it. Feels a little scratchy but it's okay. Just close your eyes and fall asleep.

____________

Alexis opened her eyes slightly and she saw a giant blue eye looking at her. She was startled and fell to the ground.

"What makes you look so scared of your own tarot cards?" - Wiro

"Wiro, it's not that I'm scared, I'm just a little startled when I see the giant eye looking at me" - Alexis

"If you're scared, you don't need to act like you're tough" - Wiro

"I don't act tough" - Alexis

"Yeah right, to a weak person they will always say that" - Wiro

The eye immediately disappeared and a puppy appeared, the same form that Wiro had with her in the Twisted World. It seems that it is no longer faded but very clear.

"Why didn't you run away then? You could have run away then, but you didn't and turned back" - Wiro

That's right, why did she come back then?

It's clear that she is a very cowardly person who is afraid of death, but why did she come back to save an animal that she had only known for a short time?

"That...I don't know anymore...I just feel, if I let a stranger sacrifice for me, a nameless person like everyone else. Then it's really meaningless" - Alexis

"It's hard to understand, but you own tarot cards. It's definitely on purpose, tell me the truth. How did you know the existence of tarot cards" - Wiro

"It started when I was in seventh grade, my dad had a friend in the cycling club. She owned a deck of tarot cards that seemed to have classic drawings, and I was impressed and attracted to tarot cards. She also read tarot cards for me" - Alexis

"Read tarot cards for you? At that age?"- Wiro

"That's right, even though it happened so long ago I don't even remember the details. She said something that got me into some trouble, maybe that's it" - Alexis

"Is that all? She didn't say anything more?"- Wiro

"How can I remember it all!"- Alexis

Hearing that, the dog could only sigh helplessly. Even if he forced him to ask, it would be meaningless, and this was the first time the two of them were in contact with each other through their minds, so if he used "that" to go deeper, into Alexis' memory, that was very dangerous.

"Before you wake up, I have a reminder for you. From now on, you are officially in trouble. You must be careful otherwise you will accidentally enter the Twisted World like just now" - Wiro

"Trouble? Wait, but how do I know when to dodge! Hey!"- Alexis

"One more thing, remember to take care of your health and body" - Wiro

Wiro didn't say anything more, he turned around and left. Alexis was about to chase after her when she suddenly fell into the abyss.

____________

When she woke up from the dream, her head hurt like hell. She shouldn't have woken up so suddenly because the blood hadn't reached her brain yet. Then she felt her breasts filling up like...

Alexis rushed straight to the bathroom and vomited forcefully, forcing her body to vomit the contents of her esophagus. Even though it was very uncomfortable, she still tried to force it all out to relieve herself.

After leaving the bathroom, she breathed evenly to regain composure.

Maybe it would be better for her to take a shower, so she took off all her clothes. When she got to her underwear, she saw something. On her back appeared a strange tattoo that looked like the tattoo of a wolf. But Alexis has never had a tattoo, so why does she have a tattoo on her back? It doesn't look like it was drawn with a marker or water pen.

So where did this tattoo come from?

Putting all the questions out of her head, Alexis finished showering and got dressed to go cycling in the morning. In the early morning there will be very little traffic so it can be said that this early morning is very comfortable.

I don't know why she brought the deck of cards with her, even though she had never brought it with her before, it just felt like this time it felt like she needed to take it just in case anything happened. .

Cycling around for an hour, she stopped to rehydrate her body. When she tilted her head up to put the water bottle in her mouth, high above she saw a monster that looked like a dragonfly. hanging on the tree.

Alexis immediately choked on the water, then she spat water out of her mouth and finally coughed hard. When she looked up again, she couldn't see anything. Could she be seriously hallucinating?

These things really give her a headache.

"Hey!"

A male voice caught her attention. When she turned around, it was a young man dressed in a punk style, wearing a black shirt underneath, a leather jacket and a pair of black pants, wearing sneakers and cool looking Royal Blue hair with some silver highlights.

Looks like he's a little wet, it's not like she just squirted water on his body just now.

"What kind of person lives in such a dirty place, spraying water on people and not even apologizing?"

"No, no, no. I'm really sorry!"- Alexis

She apologized profusely, using many excuses but did not mention the monster climbing the tree. If she said so, he would think she was crazy. He finally accepted her apology and left.

Maybe she should go home and get some more sleep to regain her composure.

Turning the bike around to return home, as she passed by the young man, suddenly some supernatural force made him pay attention to Alexis. It seemed like he could see the illusion of many clouds of black smoke following her.

"Impossible...!"

He immediately took out his phone and dialed an acquaintance's phone number, and the other end picked up the phone after only two rings.

"Hello?"

"Fita, is Ryu there?"

"Etham? Ryu, he's here, but is something wrong?" - Fita

"Call him up, we have a big problem. It's the "Tree of Life", I've found it's a "person" and not a "tree". And they're chasing this person. "- Etham

"What?! Damn it, okay, I'll tell you Ryu with the others"- Fita

"It's best to be quick!"- Etham

Hanging up the call, Etham immediately chased after the young girl riding the bicycle.

Alexis still didn't seem to know what happened, she was still calmly cycling while listening to music. The black smoke chasing after her got closer and closer, they wanted to take her life.
