Chapter 39 - A New Friend Or Foe

*Back to Faust and Yui*

"Haha, I had so much fun. I normally don't get to enjoy like today. But we haven't been able to find a way to send you back to where you came from." Yui muddles while she stares in the sky feeling joyous.

"Ahem~" a voice is heard. Both feel a presence behind them and take a protective stance, as they turn around to face the newcomer.

"Lord Uriel?! What brings you here? Did my brother cause any trouble for you? I will set him straight at this instant. Please forgive him." Yui pleads without even listening to the man, kneeling down on one knee and draws her arm out.

There was a tall sturdy guy in front of Faust and Yui in a long royal-like white gown, with golden strips at shoulder portion in a spreading flame like pattern, wrapped with a hood. It seems like an assassin's cloth wear. The guy also has a long staff in his hand with a huge black stone, the size of a fist, situated at the head of the golden staff. A mysterious black aura slithers around his body.

Uriel walks up to Yui and flung forward his right hand. Yui then takes the offered hand and grazes her lips against his the knuckles, as an offering of respect, politeness and loyalty.

"Faust get down on your knee and kiss the Lord's hand, fast!" Yui whispers nervously, half -afraid for Faust.

As Faust is about to bend on his knee, the huge guy says "Oh no no, don't bother about formalities, I'm Uriel." The tall guy stops Faust from getting on his knees and offers his hand for a handshake.

Yui is dumbstruck by this gesture from her lord. *"lord Uriel is normally a very strict King-like personality, who accepts only royalty treatment. Why so different with Faust?* Thoughts began flooding Yui's head.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Uriel, I'm Faust." Faust introduces himself casually and shakes the hands with Uriel politely.

"This is the chief Guardian in this world you idiot, he is almost like an angel here. Please forgive him, Lord Uriel. I apologise in his place." Yui says in a panic. 

Faust too panics after hearing Yui -"wahhh, I'm sorry chief Uriel. It is an honor to meet a celestial lord ." Faust utters whatever that came into his head.

"It's really ok, I'm not a bad guy, you know." Uriel says as he thinks to himself deeply observing *"Is it really him? Why is he acting like a weakling? Something must be wrong here, am I even talking to the correct person?"* Uriel questions himself while he glares at Faust's finger.

*"No thread of life huh? Guess I must be mistaken.* Uriel feels as if he had came to a final conclusion.

"Um, Mr. Uriel I'm not able to go back to the place I came from. Will you please help me find my way back? " Faust pleads Uriel in the most cutest way like a lost puppy.

"Yo-you idiot, Lord Uriel has more things to deal with than solving our problem." Yui says as she starts to sweat more hearing Faust's balderdash. 

"It's alright, I can send people to where they came from. It's really simple, you see." Uriel says as he lifts his staff up, the black stone on the staff starts to shine brightly.

"Please wait a second Lord Uriel." Yui says with a rather worried face.

"If you go now. I don't know if we will ever meet. So I'm thinking.... " As Yui was saying. "It's ok if we split up. I know that we will surely meet someday no matter what." Faust interrupts Yui and he smiled at her like he had never done before.

"I want to meet you everyday, you are the only friend I had up till now in my life." Yui struggles to tell Faust that she wanted to be his friend, she wanted to play and explore with him everyday.

"Since I don't  have any tracking devices and you don't have a spiritual power, it will be impossible for me to find you the next time you come into this world."

*" He doesn't have a spiritual power?!* Uriel is shocked upon hearing this and looks keenly at Faust.

"I'm going to attach my thread of life to you, so that whenever you come into this world, I can reach you easily." Yui tells Faust as she moves closer to him, grabbing the hand of Faust, holds his hand in hers, closes her eyes and seemed to be chanting something. Faust's cheeks get heated up,his ears turning red.

A pile of thread forms around the pinky finger of Faust which is connected to Yui's hands. Now the thread could be traced back to the real body of Yui, as well as her soul whenever Faust returns into this realm.

"Okay, move back, Yui" Uriel says, as he lifts his staff in the air and touches Faust with the black stone.

*poosshh!!!~~* Faust disappears all of a sudden and wakes up in the shrine.

"I had a really good time, dad." Yui says to Uriel with a bright smile.

"I told you to stop addressing me like that. You are just a tool to me." Uriel glares to Yui with a cold voice as his eyes turns dark.

"I'm sorry lord Uriel, since you were being so kind and loving towards that boy, I thought you had accepted me." Yui says, crestfallen, while her eyes get covered by her hair strands. Glittering tears roll down from her eyes.

"You both are of same age yet he is special compared to you, which is why I was fond of him." Uriel says without any change in expressions and disappears into thin air.

*"Huh? Im backkk, whoa! What in the actual hell was that?That was a dream. A real dream, I just couldn't wake up from....goshhhh.* Faust thinks to himself in amazement and comes out to see it was late at night. He sneakily escapes from the guard to reach his home.

"Oh Faust, I was just about to go out and search for you. If you are going somewhere again, let me know so I won't be worried." Gus tells Faust as he places dinner on the table.

"I was just out for a little extra training grandpa" Faust said.

Exhausted, Faust eats the dinner that Gus had cooked and goes to sleep when he finishes the food. As he was laying down on his bed, he wonders if he would wake up in that same "Dreamland" again if he fell asleep.
