Last night, Amorivia insisted that she's not leaving until he comes back. The others couldn't just leave her so they agreed to give her the night before finally moving on. She didn't agree but she knew she was going to get dragged.
The sun was rising but the lost boy has not returned yet. The moon saw her tears and now the sun will too. And when it does, she hope it will hear her cries.
"She's up all night," Selena uttered, her eyes on Amorivia. They all could agree that if their partners didn't make it, they sure would end up like her.
With a sigh, Amrak moved, standing beside Selena. "I need to talk to her. If it weren't for me we would not lose him."
After checking up the whole land from the Atlas, they saw how big it is now. They have come to know that they are in Shi no Ji, the Land of Death. What Saiva showed them gave them the reason to go home, the willingness to go back to other side.Unfortunately, to do that they must gather the seven orbs from seven big states of the Shi no Ji. The magical atlas will tell them where the orbs are located in every state but they were warned that it will not be an easy task. But they are all persistent."Are you willing to leave the lost boy?" Arwha asked Amorivia. "It's going to be a long and hard journey.""We have to gather those orbs to go home. I hope he wakes up after we get them so we can go home together.""I want to go home and visi
Selena's face brightened when she can finally see her castle from where she and Amrak are standing. It will only take seven hours at least to get there!"A castle?" Amrak asked. "Are you some kind of a princess?""Did I not tell you?"Perhaps I had forgotten.""Or maybe you think I lied when I told you about it. Maybe you still sees me as a hideous goblin or--""Or maybe I had really forgotten," he cuts her off. "I have no problem with you being this beauty or a goblin. Just why do you think I came here with you for?"They stood staring at each other for a while, Amrak's brows slightly drawn together. Selena looked away,
Amorivia couldn't dare to close her eyes when night came and different noises were heard from the woods. She can't even make a fire, she's all alone and you bet her whole body has been trembling, not to mention the cold.It makes her wonder if Shi no Ji has seasons too. As long as she can remember she has never experienced rain in the land nor snow. It's like it was always springtime, frozen in spring. If only the lost boy was with her right now, they would probably be flying somewhere, staying up all night."I want to see the stars with you again," she mumbled, reaching her hand up, letting it fall with her sadness.From her sling bag she took the magical stone that Saiva gave her. She looked at where she is in the holographic map, sighing heavily when she saw
Amorivia had the strangest dream about the angel taking care of her. She must have fallen unconscious again since she's sure she's laying on the ground, staring at the blue sky. Suddenly, a face of a bunny came into view. She remembers this bunny."Lady Amorivia! Are you awake now?"Her eyes widened, instantly sitting up when she realized it was Ceejay the bunny in front of her. How in the whirlwind did she get there?"I'm not dreaming, am I?""No, silly!" Ceejay laughed, hopping to her lap and hugging her."I remember I was on my way here but I don't remember how I got here.""Oh! The young man with wings!" The bunny mo
Saiva was losing hope when she felt Amorivia's presence in her land but then suddenly her eyes widened as it was getting hard for her to breath. It was like someone had her heart and is squeezing it, making her hold tightly on the porch. The Angel is here with the lady, she thought. As she was about to stand, a harsh wind blew her way, a voice she heard that got her hands sweaty. The Angel's voice telling her to calm down but how could she? His presence and his voice had already sent chills down her spine. Her hands are terribly shaking with his ice cold presence. "Saiva!" That voice! She raised her head and sees the lady running to her side. "Are you alright? What is wrong?" The worry that is painted in the lady's face somehow flushed the tightness in her chest and she smiled. "I'm fine now. I was really worried about you. We all were," she softly said, wrapping her arm around the lady. "You should never hide anything from your friends. Tell them about
The next morning, at breakfast, The Elf noticed the slight swelling and redness of Amorvia and Saiva's eyes. It looks like they have been crying all night but they did not hear the lady cry. But whatever the reason was, they are about to know."I have something to tell you all."Early in the morning and the atmosphere is already heavy in their room. The way Saiva said that in a low tone got them thinking it must be serious!"Your next goal is to gather the seven orbs. It will not be as easy as rescuing wolves. Even trying to steal one of the orb might kill all of you. And you know death is a restart button or it might be game over. The Angel of Death is mischievous, and if we put this like a game, he is the worst enemy-- the game maker."
"I can snap my fingers and he will open his eyes," Nisemono smirked, enjoying how the expression on her face changes. The war in her mind must be depressing."You harmed him and then you will wake him? Why would you do that?" she questions, eyes squinted at him."Yes, why would I do that? I wonder."No, he does not. That wide grin on his face tells how he can be selfish, destructive and mostly careless with what harm he inflicted. Why is he an Angel? He does not have the attitude of one at all."You know," he flew closer to her, staying in midair. "Let us be friends. Let us get to know one another and I will open his eyes once you get an orb and of course if you agree.""
"So, I see you have decided to accept my offer.""That is the only way I can ever return the favor I owe to the Lost Boy. Don't get too excited.""I'm always excited!" he jump off from a branch, landing perfectly in front of the lady. "Every Friday night, meet me somewhere quiet and we'll get to know each other," he said, backing away with an intimidating smile."Wait!" she grabs his shirt. "I want to know why you are helping me!" It was hard to see him in the eyes so she looked away."Let us just say I regret leaving you with the Lost Boy. You are special to me." One last glimpse and he went further into the woods, leaving Amorivia his back to view.Into the woods, he feels li
