I could've sworn I was in sanity but everyone thought I wasn't. The same thought whirled through the heads of my parents who specifically gave birth to me. With that, I found myself falling in love with my own solitude. I fought my demons alone. I chose to live by myself and isolated myself from the people I love. 

I'd been searching long and hard for a hand to hold. Then suddenly, a small light hidden in the depths of darkness flashed before me and the wall that I've been unconsciously building to protect myself vanished in an instant. Once again, I felt the affection and I was desperate to keep it. However, little did I know that a lot of malevolent eyes were keeping track of what I do. I am not who I think I am. The other world has confirmed it. 

But my past won't allow me to change. Will I keep on choosing love? Or will I accept my destiny that has been long engraved in the prophecy?

I thought they won't believe me because of the lack of evidence but surprisingly they did. They seem to know why it happened. 


"Listen..." Vyl started what seemed like a long explanation. "That creature is called a Clymph. It shows you illusions to make you do what it wants you to do. The little girl you told us about is not true. It's just an illusion." 


My mouth fell open with what Vyl said. I turned, shocked, to the creature I’m carrying. It stared at me with its innocent blue eyes. It was like silently apologizing for what it just did.
