A memory? A dream? A nightmare?

"JUST WHAT DID YOU DO?!" - Rose

"First...can you let go of me....my mind is...flying...!" - Eisha

When Rose grabbed me, she started rocking me back and forth, side to side. For a fragile looking girl because she has such a slender body and not a muscular one but her grip and strength is not something anyone could laugh at, because she can lift me up as well as shake me all around which nearly made me throw up.

After I keep telling her to stop carrying and shaking me because I seriously might throw up, she let me down but I can't feel my legs and I am all dizzy. I also thought that if she marries any man, I feel pity for the man rather than her because the soldiers are also avoiding eye contact with Rose, just what kind of reputation have you established as chief of this elf village is what I want to ask her right but there are other matters important right now.

"I took care...of pests....*bleugh*" - Eisha

(Sora: I guess that serves you right...enough for an idiot sandwich)

"Ah! I'm sorry!" - Rose

I really did throw up right after she stopped, and my vision is all blurry. If I want to say that there is a threat so scary that even the goddess would avoid it, it would be Rose is what I want to say, and Sora, shut up!

"First of all, I'll let you be for now until I sort things out...to an old 'friend' of mine...and a promise" - Rose

After Rose said those words which made me confused as to what those words actually mean, she walked away but the way she said 'friend' has hints of anger, and I want to also question about the promise she said. I did not ask her as her soldiers have escorted me to go back to the village and tell everyone the good news but not every bit of details since she wants to talk about something to me.

When I got back to the village and bring the good news to the others who are waiting in the village, though I did not say anything about me vaporizing thousands and burning the others to crisps like charcoal, they are all smiling and laughing that the war has ended but they never wondered how quickly it ended, can't they at least think about it.

I went in a hurry towards the Midori, the World Tree, when I somehow recovered from the dizziness because that is where Hana would also be, and when I reached there, I saw her smiling innocently. She does smile to me but this smile is something that is like something heavy is lifted off their shoulders that is weighing them down for so long.

"Welcome back, Eisha" - Hana

When Hana said those few words, it was a very meaningful saying I keep hearing before I became a goddess. Whenever I go home from work, my sister Yoru would always welcome me home and cook meals, I don't know why but I started to cry a bit when those memories passed by.

"Eisha, are you okay?" - Hana

"What? ah...I am fine..." - Eisha

I wiped off the tears from my face, and tried to forget about it for the time being since I don't want Hana to worry because if she is worried, an exaggerated woman will come after.

"Hana, the war is over" - Eisha

"I know, but most especially is that my sister is safe" - Hana

These two siblings really are reminding me the days I was still with Yoru, just normal siblings taking care of each other, cooking meals, having fun....I shook my head a bit to try and get it off because it will seriously make me cry again.

I told Hana that I will be going to my temporary room which they provided when I came here, and I will just lay down and rest. When I got to the bedroom, the memories keep coming back and reminding me of Yoru.

I just told myself that I am in a new life already, but I still wish and hope that my sister is safe. I lay down on the bed like a dead weight without even changing my clothes which I am really sorry for those who are cleaning this room.

Laying down on the bed, I started to dream of my life before I became a goddess. I dreamed of Yoru and how she would always wake me up by either making noise with a frying pan or pushing me out of bed, I also dreamed of how she is usually in the kitchen cooking breakfast and dinner.

When I finally dreamed of my last minutes before dying, I saw the face of Yoru crying and talking to someone I do not recognized at all. Yoru was talking to a lady whose age I can't tell because I can't see the face at all but I heard what the lady said.

"You don't have to be afraid, ...I am here to give you a choice" - ???

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! ..... ! Get out before I call the police!" - Yoru

I am wondering as to why there are times I can't hear what they are saying at all but I can see both of their mouths moving though I can't lip reading. This unknown lady is a threat from what I can see, I tried to yell at Yoru to get out of there because I am getting so worried but I forgot that I was in a dream or perhaps, a memory.

"I am a ....., and again, I am here to give you a choice" - ???

"..." - Yoru

Who is this woman is what I kept repeating in my mind, and what choice are you giving to Yoru? The whole scene is making me so uncomfortable to the point I that I don't want to know the lady at all but to protect Yoru from her.

The whole scene distorted before turning into a thick fog, I tried to run where I think Yoru was then the fog starts to settle down revealing the lady and Yoru under a single lamp light inside Yoru's room. Before I could get close enough to Yoru, I heard words that completely stunned me

"What is the price .....?" - Yoru

"Something that you value the most..." - ???

"...I...choose the second option.." - Yoru

"Very well..." - ???

I tried to shout even though it was a dream, I kept shouting at Yoru to stay away from the unknown lady, but they start to go further and further away from me. I wanted to know what they have talked about, but I woke up with such a blurry memory of what happened in that dream.

"YORU! Yoru..." - Eisha

I sat up right away and shouted just to see myself back in the world I created, back in the room I was resting in. My breathing was fast and irregular as I tried to grasp for air, and I was sweating a lot. I felt my heart ache for a moment which is somehow telling me that something happened to Yoru, I tried to calm myself down but my heart still aches for some reason.

After the whole nightmare, I couldn't go back to sleep at all anymore and started walking around the big maze house of this Valha family. When I saw moonlight, I thought that I have slept till late night. It was a full moon and chilly winds when I went outside just to get some fresh air as well as clear my mind, and I tried to sort out the things I have seen but weirdly enough, I can't exactly remember what happened and wondered what is going with Yoru.

"Yoru, please stay safe..." - Eisha

I walked to where Midori and Hana is, and to my surprise, they are still there and smiling even though everyone else is asleep. I approached the two to clear my mind off the nightmare.

"Mind if I join you two?" - Eisha

""sure"" - Midori and Hana

We talked all night about anything we can talk about like what we like and dislike, stories, ideas, and magic till morning came again because we got so absorbed with talking to each other about anything. Even though the nightmare or memory has passed by, it still lingers to the point that I can't help but to be worried a lot especially what Yoru and the weird lady was talking about, weird lady?

In an unknown place

"Why would you do that?!" - Seraph

Seraph was shouting towards a man who smiling and looks like he has done many wrong things but never cared at all. Seraph had the looks of anger towards him, and she is completely annoyed whenever she sees this man.

"It was just good business" - Otto

Otto kept a serious face towards Seraph because they can never kill each other nor cause serious harm, only lightly harm each other.

"She has done nothing to you, so why would you do such a thing as showing her those?!" - Seraph

Seraph was referring to the time she gave Yoru, Eisha's sister, a chance to get reincarnated in the world of Eisha who is formerly known as Shingo.

"You've been having fun, so I will have fun as well. Giving them hope and all, then slowly breaking them is the greatest and amusing thing to see..." - Otto

"That is not my kind of fun!" - Seraph

"So be it" - Otto
