Berkah complained after telling his mother about all the events that had transpired within the Labryinth.

Anaise had her eyes widened the entire time, Berkah's story transcended even fairytale books, with things like time travel, inverted gardens, Undead creatures, an Ancient Dragon and so forth.

"Fufu... It seems you had a rough time Berkah, I am just glad to have you back home safely."

"I feared for the worst, but I knew deep down inside that you were still alive."

"You're a strong boy after all..."

She said, her voice quivering, it seemed as though she would once again burst into tears.

"But... Why do you always do this, Berkah?"

"Ever since the day you could walk on your own, you've always seemed keen on exploring the world without us."

"That always scared your father and I, but we just took it as a boy's curiosity."
