"I'm an ordinary person, and I live in this offensive city. Everything is so discordant, gray sky, gray buildings, gray haze. ā
"I miss my hometown, the untouched place where I lived with my family. At that time, we had a great time every day. ā
"It's the Federation that ruined it all."
"I'm in pain, but there's nothing I can do. I'm too weak to compete with alone. ā
"I don't think I'll be able to go back in this life."

"Hi Char! Are you sleeping at home again? You can't do this every day! One morning, my colleague and friend Blue woke me up with a phone call, "It's a rare holiday today, come out and have fun." ā
"I'm sorry, Blue. I'm not feeling well today and not interested. I replied to him.
"You don't feel well every weekend, how can you be? Dude, I found something super cool and don't want to check it out? ā
"What?" If it's super cool, I do want to know what it is.
"A religious organization! Legal! Right next to our community! "The cultists there are dressed like medieval wizards, and their books are written with symbols that I can't read." It's even more fun than a video game! ā
"Only you'll find it interesting......" I felt speechless, Blue, who is a secondary school disease, he is interested in all things unnatural, and it is no wonder that this strange organization attracts him.
"Really! They believe in the god of nature, and they believe that devoting themselves to cultivation can enable people to communicate with nature and mobilize the power of nature. The more Blue said, the more excited he became, "It's incredible, there's a free show to watch tonight, and I heard it's a top-notch magic show." Come to think of it, how long has it been since we've been to the theater? ā
"Okay, when?" I was so sleepy by his noise that I thought about it and promised him.
"Eight o'clock tonight, you promised?" Blue looked surprised.
"Well, go check it out." I say.
To be honest, I wasn't interested in religion or anything. But his teachings appealed to me.
The god of nature, my mother once mentioned it to me. Hearing this term, I suddenly remembered a lot. At that moment, I suddenly realized who I was, and I seemed to have found the meaning of existence.
This religion, I have to go.
It could change my life.
Had lunch and watched a stinky, long movie. After taking a shower and taking a nap on the sofa for a while, the appointed time arrived unconsciously. I changed into what I thought was the most formal outfit. Go downstairs and meet Blue.
"What are you doing here? Blind date? Seeing my outfit, Blue was taken aback, "We're just going to have fun, don't be so formal!" ā
I smiled and didn't speak.
"You're unusual today, Char." Blue patted my forehead, "You can't be really uncomfortable, are you?" ā
"Okay, get in the car and lead the way, or I'll go back." I urged him.
Blue drove us to the community where the religious service was held. Along the way, Blue was pouring me out about the religion. If I had done it before, I would have shut him up. But today, instead, I want to know more.
What does this religion have to do with her?
Place is not far and we arrived very quickly. Blue found a place to park, and together we walked towards the quaint building.
The moment I approached it, I felt something echoing in my ears. I looked at Blue, but he didn't respond. Immediately after that, there was another burst. The voice hit my heart like holy music, as if something was beckoning to me. She's calling, she's thirsting.
It was as if I was following her lead.
Gradually, I forgot everything around me. I ignored Blue's shouting at me and headed for the building's door. With each step I took closer, I could feel a powerful consciousness whispering. I surrendered before her, and I could not resist. It was like my mother, gentle and stern.
As I walked forward, tears welling up in my eyes. I think of the war five years ago, and I think of what I have suffered. I desperately wanted to go home, but I was homeless.
I don't belong here.
There are no mountains, no water, no forests, no kind people.
I belong, omen!
I stepped through the gate, and inside it was an altar. In the square under the altar, there were already more than a dozen people standing silently. I walked among them, and they looked back at me. I looked into their eyes, and I felt as if I had seen ...... Family.
At this moment a man came up to the altar, dressed in a burqa and holding a large thick book in his hand, as Blue had said.
It was at this moment that the door behind him slammed shut.
"As you feel it." Suddenly a voice rang out in my head, "You have followed her lead, and you are God's people." Five years ago, the omen was in danger and you were displaced. And now, she's on the rise again. She needs your strength, just as you need her protection. This is something that only the true omen can hear, so please go up to the altar, where there is a teleportation array that leads directly to the royal capital. Yes, the royal capital. The ideal hometown of Casaland in dreams. A city destroyed by artillery fire five years ago. Now, she's back! ā
