"Enrietta." It spoke of a manner so familiar to someone Akeenu knows. But there is a gentle feeling in her tone. Akeenu can't see anymore, not along move any piece of my useless muscles. He don't even know if he's dead already or still breathing. It reaches her hands to him, still wearing that fearful power that intimidates every hair in his body.
"I'm sorry to let you suffer death again." '
So you have already seen this would happen and yet you did not make a move. How heartless you can be.'
Akeenu said to himself. He haven't reached his peak yet nor have been reincarnated for so long. Yet he is here already lost the life he have gained by luck. How pitiful he can be.
"I truly want to save you but that's want by the High Creator. I can only sympathize in your sorry fate."
'Really now? Is this kind of drama? I did not apply for the role just to shed tears and be cheesy and romantic like those lowly nutty brains. Author! Better do your job properly!'
Now, now, he is still floating and feeling of the girl's hand touches his face. She's caressing it with outmost delicate. 'As someone who is strong like me... Che!' That doesn't sound convincing after his defeat to that slit eyes lizard. Anyway, Akeenu just want to go back in time and reconstruct his mistakes so that he could make use of the wrong decisions he made but naah, it's just too late.
As Akeenu is drifting in like a space or something, a luminous light caught his eyes that make him wince from it's unbearing brightness. As he slowly regained his consciousness, the chirping of the birds greeted him first. The singing of praises and the gust of winds make them possible to harmoniously surrounds the whole place. He tried to open his eyes after he felt that the stinging has gone away completely and then, before his eyes, a familiar place welcomed him. He was under the Yggdrasil tree with its leaves are shining gold under the bright light of the sun, the birds within its arms sings melodies of praises while the peaceful aura is swallowing his very presence. He feel the tranquility and warmth of the world and there, as if waiting to be described, a lady with elegance walk slowly to where he is. He somewhat lost his tongue, he quietly wait for the lady to shorten the gap and so the most awaited act have been reenacted. She reaches her hand to caresses Akeenu's face and along with it her lips parted.
"You wish to have another chance right? What if I give it to you, will you give me satisfying results?"
Her tone is somewhat of a tyrant emperor but with a soft hint of a lady's voice. It rang into Akeenu's ears but he dare not to cover his ears. He can only nod as his reply. The girl smiled, it can brighten the gloomiest weather.
"If I did, what race would you like to become?"
It was somewhat mocking but with a lot of elegance in delivering that you almost cannot see the sarcasm in every words. It made Akeenu smiled for the thought that this girl has a lot of humor than ordinary beings.
"Anything will do! Please... " Akeenu can't seem to find the right word but it is enough to convey what he feels. Desperation is eating him and every seconds that is passing is important.
"Alright, the moment you leave here, your memory will be erased. You'll be given a life and I hope you treasured it. "
Sadness swept pass to the girl's face but eventually gone after one blink. Akeenu did not understand that but he nods. He agreed without hearing the rules and conditions. He doesn't care, he just want to get to see his subordinates.
wuuuung..
A wave of magical energy spreads in the whole place. A beating of heart can be heard and everything seems to crash in every heartbeat. 'Maybe the girl is just playing with me. ' Akeenu thought to himself. All he can do now is wait for his doom. Everything seems to erase now and he fell in solitudes. He floats again and he find it funny for experiencing it the second time around.
dug dug... dug... dug dug...
His heart rampantly beats and he feels heat. This sensation is new to him and he couldn't do anything but before he passed out, the girl wishes him good luck and called out his name.
"Taka. "
