Chapter Four: The Revelation

Kaja was pulled again in his memories. Enveloped with darkness and silence.

Kaja opened his eyes. He seems to be in another realm.

"What is this place? Rafaela! Rafaela! Where are you?!" Kaja said in a slightly panic voice while surveying his surroundings.

"Hoot... Hoot... You are so noisy Kaja!" A small voice answered Kaja's commotion.

"Diggie??? Is that you?! Have you seen Rafaela?". Kaja answered in a worried voice.

"Aww! What's that for???" Diggie hit Kaja in the head using his clock staff. "That's what you get for being noisy Kaja". Diggie sarcastically smiled.

"Fine. I'm sorry. Its just that I was in the Kingdom in the Land of Dawn then all of a sudden I'm here in your realm." Kaja explained calmly.

"Shh... You should have known better Kaja. A person doesn't just fall into my realm without any reasons." Diggie stares at Kaja.

"Reasons? What do you mean? What do you exactly mean by that Diggie?". Kaja stares at Diggie with confusion.

"Aww! Hey I'm not noisy now I was just asking? Is questioning you now a bad thing to do in your realm as well??". Kaja asked Diggie while rubbing his head.

"Hoot... Hoot... Do you want to be hit again Kaja? Hoot... Hoot... Why ask me? You should ask yourself. You have a reason that's why you are here. Don't you want to know the truth on why is it only you who have forgotten about Rafaela?". Diggie stated.

Kaja's eyes widened and began to think of what Diggie said.

"Now Kaja, look into the center of my clock staff... Focus. Clear your mind and you will know the truth". Diggie's voice fades while Kaja is being endeavored by a bright light.

Back to the past where it all began.

Kaja and Diggie are floating not that high to see what is happening on Kaja's past. They cannot be seen and cannot be heard. The only thing that they can do is watch and listen to what's happening in their surroundings.

In Kaja's past he sees three children playing. "Wait that's me, Uranus and-..." Kaja was paused by Diggie. "And Rafaela".

Kaja continued to observe the three children running around, laughing and playing together under the sun on the fields of flower. Laying their backs on the grass while rolling into it. The joyful scene faded.

Their surroundings change all of a sudden.

The setting is in the Land of Dawn. Screams. Darkness is endeavoring the whole land. Fire scattered on different areas. Families running for their lives because of fear. The Dark Abyss has landed in the Land of Dawn. All heroes of the Kingdom and nearby Kingdoms gathered in able to help the Land of Dawn survive this catastrophe.

Kaja saw himself with Uranus and Rafaela on his side. Diggie quietly watches and gazes upon Kaja.

"Kaja, I will help the children and heal the wounded". Rafaela said with a worried voice.

"Rafaela, please be careful on your way". Kaja replied looking at Rafaela's face.

"I will Kaja. And I will get back to you after I finish". Rafaela smiled at Kaja and left to do her duties.

Kaja looks at Rafaela while leaving him and Uranus behind. He then stares at the dark creatures. "Uranus, let us commence".

"Yes Kaja. All intruders shall be expelled!". Uranus said with a roaring voice.

The two charge immediately at the dark creatures. Uranus and Kaja fighting side by side.

Alucard, Harith and Nana together with the kingdom soldiers fending their stands.

The war has finally ended. The dark creatures began to retreat. The people of the Land of Dawn rejoice for their victory in pushing away the creatures of the Dark Abyss. Though they left the place in a disastrous shape. Some families broken. Some ruined homes. Wounded people. Yet the kingdom's people has something to somehow smile on despite of the havoc.

Rafaela continued healing the wounded. While Harith and Nana are talking with the children trying to comfort them after all what happened.

When Rafaela was finally done healing everyone. She immediately look for Kaja in able to rejoin him and Uranus.

When Rafaela finally found Kaja.

"Kaja!" Rafaela shouts and waves happily at Kaja.

Kaja immediately look around searching from where the voice was coming from. Kaja spotted Rafaela at an open space and excitedly waves back at her. They started to flew near to each other meeting halfway when suddenly...

"Rafaela!!!" A loud angry voice came from above them.

The entity was holding a black sword and throw it with all his strength to Rafaela's direction. Rafaela's eyes grew wide. Kaja flew as fast as he can towards Rafaela.

"Ugh... Are you okay Rafaela?". Kaja coughs blood while his arms around Rafaela blocking the sword that would have struck her to death. Rafaela kneels on the ground holding Kaja in her arms.

"Well, well what do we have here? Being a hero now Kaja? Protecting this woman?. The dark entity said.

"Nooo...! Kaja please... Please don't give up on me." Rafaela's tears poured down.

Kaja gives a soft smile while lying on Rafaela's lap. "I'm not going to easily die my dear Rafaela".

"Hush now Kaja. Save your strength and let me heal you." Rafaela replied.

Before she was truly done healing Kaja, the dark entity grab Rafaela by the wrist and flew beyond the skies leaving Kaja weak lying on the ground.

Kaja reaches for the sky. "Rafaela... No..". He said with his weakening voice and a few moments later he passed out.

Kaja with Diggie watches that moment. "I never knew this happened? Why don't I remember this? What happened to me after I passed out! Diggie!" Kaja said with an aggressive voice.

Diggie looks at Kaja and asked. "Hoot... Hoot... Are you sure you want to go on with this?".

"Diggie, that's the reason why I'm here. So please show me...". Kaja said with a begging tone.

The setting again change and turn out its within the Celestial Palace.

Kaja looks at the surrounding with curiosity and just waiting on what will happen. And why is it supposed to be in the Celestial Palace.

Uranus hurrying up to the highest council. "Eons' High Council please help my brother Kaja he is the only one I have as a family. I beg you. Please help him".

Uranus was carrying Kaja in front of the council while kneeling and begging for them to help Kaja for his life.

Uranus put Kaja down in front of the council. The council gathered forming a circle while Kaja is at the center. They raise their hands and put it on top of Kaja while enchanting on different tongues. Their hands are glowing bright as they speak and slowly the orbs of light are being absorbed by Kaja's body healing all the wounds. Yet, the highest among the council stepped forward to Kaja placing both of his hands on his head and whispered. "This is for your own good. You will only be distracted and get hurt and might die because of that woman you cared for so much. I am very sorry Kaja".

Uranus uttered with sadness. "I'm sorry brother I don't have any choice but to get help from them. I hope you will be able to forgive me when the time comes". Uranus look down with an unbearable pain in his chest.

As soon as that moment ended. Diggie and Kaja went back to the Time Realm.

Everything has now been cleared to Kaja. He clenched his fist while his tears pouring from his eyes. The pain that he feels from being betrayed by the council.

"Kaja? Are you alright? You need to get back to Rafaela. She is waiting for you". Diggie smiled.

"I'm fine Diggie thank you for this. Thanks for letting me know the truth. I'm not mad with Uranus I know he is just worried about me. But I can't accept the fact that the council has to erase a few of my memories especially the ones with Rafaela. I should have been protecting her all along. But I'm still happy that I get to be with her right now". Kaja smiled beyond his tears pouring on his face.

Diggie hits Kaja again on the head and said. "Well, I hope to not see you again sooner. You are welcome Kaja.". Diggie smiles at Kaja.

Kaja fading returning to the Kingdom with Rafaela.

"Kaja? Kaja? Are you with me? Can you hear me Kaja? Are you okay?".Rafaela waving a hand in front of Kaja while smiling.

Kaja smiles back and said. "It's good to see you again Rafaela".
