Chapter 3 Two years later.

Two years have passed since that strange dream, two years that were filled with various events.

The next day, after I met Bronya, I told everything to my mother, who was too surprised that the Supreme Guardian herself asked me to become her daughter's friend. It was then that I saw a struggle and reluctance in my mother's eyes, and I thought that I was just imagining things, but she was clearly hiding something. But I'm not going to dwell on it.

A few days later, my mother herself took me to the address that Madame Cocolia gave me, which turned out to be a large house, like a mansion. At least I expected something like that, after all, seeing such a house in real life is fascinating...

The first few visits to Bronya, my mother was constantly with me, watching me, although I don't know why she did it. It's unlikely that something will happen to me, but still I was glad that my mother takes such care of me.

After that, she stopped staying with me, and simply took me away and went to work in her store.

Over these two years, I became a very close friend of Bronya, which made the girl constantly smile. I even included her in our group of friends, so Gepard, Serval and Lynx also became her friends. We either spend time playing games at her house, or she is let out into the street, but under the supervision of a couple of armed people.

No seriously, because of them we could not normally play a game like hide and seek, because it was always clear where Bronya was, because of the armed people who constantly followed her. By the way, the parents of these three were very happy that their children were able to become friends with the daughter of Supreme Guardian, who in the future should become Supreme Guardian herself.

During this time, I also realized something ...

Mrs. Landau wants me to marry Geparda in the future. Although she didn't say it directly, since I'm still a child, she just made hints that a child wouldn't understand, but to an adult soul in a child's body, everything was clear.

It doesn't help, I'm a boy myself, I've also started to change somehow...

To be honest, I don't want to deal with all this crap, with falling in love and so on...

In the future, I'll directly say that I like girls, and if Mrs. Landau shows disgust towards me, then so be it. Although the chances of this are very small, instead she will offer one of her daughters, and then it will be harder to get out of it. Although I love Lynx and Serval, but only as friends, I can't see them as someone more. Although we don't know what will happen when puberty comes, maybe my opinion on this matter will change, but I'm not sure about it.

So we just have to wait, about five more years...

Okay, now is not the time to think about it!

Also the most remarkable thing that happened in these two years was that mysterious woman who has been in my dreams since that day.

This dream does not change, I am there in outer space, next to a big and strange tree, under which a mysterious woman is waiting for me, with whom I have become quite close...

I do not know why, but my connection with her or involvement with her only increases every day, I just feel comfortable around her. Although she is a little annoying to me, since to all my questions, she answers either vaguely or with riddles that I cannot understand. Thank God that she at least speaks, in a language that I can understand. But most of the time, she is silent, and only I speak.

Usually, I tell her how my day went, what I saw. or what happened, and the most remarkable thing is that she listens, and she has never been against my endless chatter, and even herself gave me advice or something like that several times.

This only increased her authority in my eyes, and made her closer to me, as if she were my second mother...

These thoughts are a little awkward for me, but not repulsive.

Of course, during this time I realized that this was not just a dream, and that I was somehow connected with this mysterious woman who almost never opens her eyes. Although one time I did ask her to open her eyes, which surprisingly she did. And I was hypnotized by her eyes, which were like the universe itself. They were beautiful and enchanting, that I wanted to touch them.

Then she closed her eyes, and I was not upset that I no longer see such beauty. But these are her eyes, and she is not obliged to show them to me if she does not want to. Although the fact that she immediately showed me her eyes, at my request, warmed my heart, since she did not show any unwillingness or anything like that.

"Hello, Cosmos!" I said, approaching the tree.

To be honest, I don't know her name, and she doesn't tell me directly, but only answers in riddles, something like everything in the world is harmonious, and so on.

So, I had to give her a temporary name until I figure out her real name. I can't call her "Hello mysterious woman" or something like that, can I?

"Hello Luna," she said in a charming voice that was always nice to hear.

She was by the tree as always, only recently, instead of standing, she was sitting, and I have to thank for that. After all, I'm still a child, so standing in one place is very difficult for me, my legs start to hurt, and I myself will simply start to feel tired, although in the real world I sleep...

I went up to her and sat down next to her, leaning against her, which she didn't mind.

"You know, tomorrow is my first day at school," I told her.

"I know, you've been saying that for a week now," she said in the same voice, but there was a little warmth in it.

"Well, yes... I just feel a little uneasy... There will be a lot of children there, who have dolls and clothes on their minds, and besides, they are all children of noble families," I said.

"Are you scared?" she asked, to which I simply nodded, and then she hugged me.

Over the course of two years, it happened only a few times, but in her arms, I felt protected. Only in the arms of my mother, and Cosmos, did I feel that.

"I'm sure everything will be fine," she said, and a slight smile touched her lips, which I loved, because this smile gave me confidence.

"Thank you," I said softly and pressed myself against her, and a cozy silence arose between us, which I did not want to disturb.

But this silence allowed me to immerse myself in my thoughts.

From our first meeting, I noticed how something was changing in me, not in the sense that I was becoming someone else, but that some mystical abilities were beginning to dawn on me.

I mean that I stopped getting sick, and any scratches start to heal pretty quickly, in about a few hours, although at first it took days, but each time this time decreased.

Also, I seem to be getting stronger every day, I mean that at the moment, I can lift a heavy pedestal without getting tired. I don't think that a seven-year-old girl is capable of this, but still…

And exactly, this all happened after my first meeting with Cosmos, of course I asked her, but she answered with the same riddle, and I had no choice but to simply pout because of this, which earned me a pinch on the cheek.

Of course, this surprised me, since then it was the first time she touched me herself. But instead of getting angry because she pinched my cheek, I could only feel happiness, which I don't know what caused it.

But let's get back to the previous topic, about my abilities. I thought for a bit, and something gave me an idea... At this rate, by the age of 18, will I become unkillable and at the same time strong, capable of fighting endlessly?

Although the thought of fighting haunts me a bit, but knowing that my wounds heal quite quickly, it makes this thought a little easier. I know that Belobog has an enemy, creatures... and that's all I know about them. I also know that when there was a war on the planet, when Belobog was just being built, and that's probably all I know about the city, although I hope that I'll learn more about it in history lessons.

Also, recently there was an incident, I stupidly wanted to find out where the trains go, and got on one such train, and ended up in the dungeon, which is the second part of the city of Belobog. And to my misfortune, I got stuck there for several days. I really wanted to go home, and not because I was scared or anything like that, but because of my mother. I didn't want to think that she would get involved when I didn't come back home and would worry about me too much.

Luckily, there were good people here. I met a woman named Natasha, who was very kind to me, and sheltered me for a few days, and also fed me. As I understood, she was something like a local doctor there, to whom different people turned.

In fact, the people were very different from the people on top, so they lived quite poorly... Although as I later realized, they were most likely families, men who work here as miners. and extract different ores, but still I feel a little sad for them.

I also made a new friend here, who had blue natural hair, which was a little strange. Her name is Seele, she is about the same age as me. Although I haven't seen her since then, I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

A few days later, I returned upstairs and realized that my disappearance had caused a lot of noise. Not only my mother was looking for me, but also Miss Landau, and the Supreme Guardian also gave the order to search for me, and I'm sure that Bronya had something to do with it.

In general, my disappearance disturbed many people, to whom I apologized properly.

And of course, my mother punished me, which was a little surprising, since she had never punished me before. Probably because she was afraid of losing her only daughter. Since then, she has been constantly watching over me, which makes me feel like the last bastard for making my beloved mother worry. But I know that she forgave me a long time ago, although she was never angry with me, but this did not stop me from apologizing to her every time, although she says that this should not be done, but I can't do that.

"I think I'm waking up… Anyway, Cosmos, I hope you're right and everything will be okay at school," I said to the woman.

She just smiled, and I sank back into unconsciousness.
