The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao calmed down, and after regaining his balance he was back to pedaling. After a few moments, he heard the voice again, “Hey.”

He was ready and calm this time. Then he asked, “Who are you?”

The whisper suddenly turned into a scream, “WHAT!! YOU CAN HEAR ME? CAN YOU REALLY HEAR ME?”

Yang Dao was surprised and then he replied, “Yes, I can hear you, but I do not know who you are and how can you talk inside my mind.”

The boy was smart when he asked the speaker about their identity he did not move his mouth but it was a thought. The voice reacted. It said, “I can finally speak to someone else. Do you know how long has it been since I talked to someone? Fifty years. Many people like you come and go from this spot but never can they hear me. I have been so lonely… sob, sob, sob…”

The sudden sobbing made the boy fluster. He may have improved his emotional quotient, but it still needed a lot of work. He said, “Hey, don’t cry. Be happy that you can talk to me. Come on, tell me about yourself, that way we can talk longer.”

A giggle akin to a bell sounded. The voice said, “Yes, you are smart. I like you. My name is Ushi, a sylph. I am exquisite and also very sweet.” the voice giggled a bit.

Yang Dao chuckled, “Also, a bit narcissist.” The voice followed. “Hey, who made me so awesome?”

The two chuckled before the boy asked, “What is a Sylph?”

Ushi replied, “Silly, Sylphs are sylphs. We are wind spirits. Do you not know?”

Yang Dao replied, “No idea, never seen one.”

Ushi chuckled. “Yes, Sylphs do not come out of the secret place. So no one can see us.”

Yang Dao asked as he focused his gaze on the road, “How come you came out?”

Sylphs are very innocent creatures, you be nice to them and they believe you. Ushi said, “Some people tried to barge into the secret place. So I was the guard, who stopped them. Later they dragged me here in combat. The doorway closed, and I flew away. They cannot find me until I wish to appear in front of them.”

Yang Dao was not surprised by this, he imagined that someone calling them wind spirit would not be that simple. He asked, “Then, can I see you?”

Ushi sighed and said, “Okay.” the very next moment, Yang Dao saw a glitter appear on the handlebar of his bike. He was surprised to see a feminine creature, as big as the middle finger, dressed in some sort of blue shreds. She had azure-colored hair, blue eyes, a pair of almost invisible wings on both her feet. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

She looked like a clay doll. Yang Dao commented, “You look so cute and pretty.” causing the girl to chuckle. She said, “Ushi knows. So, who are you?”

The boy replied, “My name is Yang Dao. I am a human.” his tone was calm and stable.

Ushi asked, “I know you are a human, but why do I not feel that you are greedy?”

The boy chuckled, “Because I am not greedy.”

Ushi held her tiny chin in her equally tiny hand. She was lost in thought. Yang Dao suddenly noticed that his bike has been moving comfortably. The wind seemed to have been flowing through his body as if he was invisible. After a few seconds, he concluded it may be because the Sylph appearing next to him.

Letting go of the handlebar, the boy looked back and he could not see the rest of the team anymore. he wore a special jersey he bought yesterday, on the back of the jersey there were two pockets on the sides, just above his hips. He had his mobile phone kept inside it. The boy rode to the side of the road and, taking out his phone, he called Ayaka.

After checking the monitoring system, the girl told him he was leading the team by a kilometer. Yang Dao was shocked. It has only been a few minutes since the sylph has appeared. He did not even notice that his speed shot up so much. Ayaka asked him why did he suddenly speed up so much. The boy told her he messed up the rhythm.

The call was disconnected. Ushi asked, “Why do you have the blessing of the wind god?”

Yang Dao asked, “Who is the wind god?”

Ushi said, “You don’t even know this? The Wind God is the god of wind. He has many names but if I am to tell you the one I like, that is the virtuous and gentle, the Azure Dragon of East. The mighty dragon whose thoughts are enough to bring chaotic storms to uproot evil. Also, he brings the soothing breeze and gust to people.”

Yang Dao said, “Would you like to talk to the Wind God? He is a friend of mine.”

Sylphs were actually very naive and innocent creatures. Ushi was a genuine follower of the wind god when she heard this boy say that he can have her talk to him. She was excited and she started to fly around his head in circles saying, “YES, YES. I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.”

Yang Dao chuckled and failed Ryu Jinshi’s number on his phone. The call was answered in an instant. The boy asked, “Mr. Jinshi, Is it possible to have you on the video call? I met a sylph, who is your follower.”

Ryu Jinshi was surprised at the mention of a sylph. He replied, “Yes, I will start the video call.” He pressed the video call switch with that said. The boy on the bike placed the phone in front of him.

Ushi landed on his shoulder and looked at the screen with curiosity. Soon she saw a handsome man appear on the screen. The girl pouted and was about to reprimand Yang Dao. After all, she wanted to meet the wind god, the azure dragon, but this guy called another human, but before she could say anything.

Ryu Jinshi spoke, “Guardian Sylph? How come you came out of the sacred plane?” his question reverberated in Ushi’s ears. She was aware that Yang Dao did not tell anyone about her. Also, no people could see her until she wanted them to. Even on the cameras. She knew this man was not ordinary.
