Chapter 5 - Dreams of Love

Eldri flickered his eyes open and closed it almost instantly. Too bright!

'Where am I?' Eldri opened his eyes afyer adjusting to the brightness and found himself in a complete white space. There was no horizon and no end, the space stretched as far as eyes could reach.

"Eldri!" A feminine voice called out to him. He turned around, and the space changed to the market area.

A titian-haired girl called out to Eldri. Suddenly, people filled the area and it soon became a real market. Eldri stood still shocked even more when a running child passed right through him!

'Am I dead!' He has already died once, why so soon again?

Eldri looked at the girl again she was smiling at him showing her perfect smile just as Eldri was about to move ahead to ask her some questions, realising only she noticed him while everybody else passed right through him, a young boy passed through Eldri from behind, however this boy was not just anyone it was Eldri himself!

The other Eldri walked towards the girl picked her up and hugged her tightly as they both kissed him and murmured, "I had missed you Evely!"

'Who was she? And why was this Eldri so close to her?' Eldri never acted like this for any girl. It was as if he was actually in... 'Meh! It is just a weird dream! A weird lucid dream!

"Eldy you promised me that you would stay with me last time!" The young woman, Evely, pouted.

"Sorry, I am very sorry! I had to go to prepare for the function next month!"

"You sure it was the preparation and not some girl?" She asked strictly.

"And what if it was?" Eldri grinned as he pulled her face closer.

"Then I will not leave you!" She shouted.

"Yes please, that is what I want!"

"No I did not mean that! I me-"

"Shush~" Eldri interrupted her in between and planted another kiss on her rosy lips.

"What?! Why am I dreaming this?" The original Eldri cried at the scene in front of him, slowly his vision distorted again and he blacked out again.

Eldri's eyes opened. He looked around this time he was in his bedroom. 'Huh... was it all a big weird dream?'

No. The answer to his question was obvious. The moon was still in the north. Travelling back a month in time was definitely a part of reality but the dream however was something else. 'Who was that girl in the dream? Evely something...'

Eldri walked into his bathroom. He took out his brush and started to get ready.

After a bath he rapped a towel over his lower body and admired himself in the mirror, 'As hot as ever!'

'Evely will like it~' his evil side was on full tease, 'after all you might marry her or so it looked like~'

'Shut up!' He scolded himself.

'Just like an old married couple, hugging each other in the middle of the market street~'

'SHUT UP!'

"Eldri, Chester has come to meet you!" Mrs. Dawson called Eldri.

Eldri was already aware of the fact that Chester was about to come, he had come here to cry on about his love misery. Chester is one of Eldri's best friends, so Eldri wanted to help Chester, ebut Eldri had to plan up his gift for the party.

"Yes, I am coming down!"

"Eldri, my dear friend, please help me!" Chester started his waterfall of tears just as he show Eldri descend from the stair case.

"What happened?" Eldri asked even though he knew the reason

for Chester's cry.

"It is a girl I had been trying to impress. She even talked to me but then when I confessed my love to her she said she never felt like that towards me and this how I got rejected by my first love!" Chester bowed and begged, "Please help me win her, if you help me I will get married till tommorow!"

"Okay fine," he might as well help him out since he already knows what to do for the gift.

"Thank you Eldri! You are the best-est of best friend!" In a second, Chester's face bloomed up like a flower as he exclaimed.

~~~

"Who is the one?" Eldri was currently, wearing his black hood and cape, sitting on a table at the Hertsire Inn sipping a blue cold drink.

"The lady in green dress," Chester was also disguised in a hood and cape sipping a green drink.

"Hum... nice ass!" Eldri subconsciously remarked.

"Eldri!!" Chester nudged him, "Shut up and tell me what to do?"

"I can't shut up and tell you what to do both together," Eldri picked his glass and drank in whole then continued, "first see how many friends does she have."

Chester looked at the lady and saw her talking to six people. "Six."

"Then check how many of them are guys and how many are ladies."

"Two guys and three ladies," Chester finished his drink too, "but why do we need to do this?"

"Well," Eldri shrugged, "it gives the number of preys I can hunt and the number of hunters I have to steal from," he got up and moved towards the group. "Also the fact that there are four girls but only two guys that means then need two more..."

Chester just murmured under his breath, "Save me God!"

While going towards the group, Eldri stopped at another group of big thugs.

"Occupy every vacant seat except of that table, before I reach there," Eldri ordered and dropped off five thousand from his sleeve.

The big leader nodded and ordered all his men.

"Let's go get some girls, Chester!" Eldri smiled at his friend.
