"(How come i never noticed....he was always there when i needed him. He stood beside me when no one did.We had so many things in common...How did i miss it)"
⚡Flashback⚡
(The day before i came here...she said it.
Esmay, "Remember, Our last life selves differs genders, personallities, positions and relations. You cant trust anyone other than yourself. Trust yourself. You can do it.
You can save Astrid and all those characters."
She knew everything.The only thing i can do now is ...move on? I cant let the situation make me weak. I need to take back Astrid. )
After a long thought, Lora got rid of her teary eyes and sad emotion.Even if Astrid doesnt want to go back...it's another fight she needs to win.
Suddenly, she heard a few guards shouting.
L,"Astrid, We need to go-.....Astrid?
She's gone?"
She walked around to look for her.She wasnt even that far. Right beside the window. Lost in her own thoughts. Lora quietly stood beside her.
S,"I'll forget it right?"
L,"what?"
S,"you said ill forget everything if i go back...
Can you promise that...I wont remember a sight of him... if i go...back. I can forget everything and live normally"
L,"(That's what the booj said. But if she,reallyvwanted him, the sadness and guilt will still be there.)"
S,"i wont be stubborn anymore...Let's go back."
Lora gave her comfort and nodded. Both walked out of that hall quietly.There were supposed to be guards outside the gates.Why is it so empty...?
They walked out of the castle so easily. Something was definetly off.
S,"What if they're watching us...?"
L,"…(We need to travel back now or never.Where am i suppose to find the door. Can it even appear?)"
S,"there's no place to hide. Where should we go now?"
L,"(place.....the place where i landed in the first day.It was...in the middle of forest. I cant tell if it's even safe now.)"
L,"I know a place. Let's go there-"
Just then they heard horses running sounds. It was running toward them. 15 or more.
S,"They found us?"
Both quickly hides behind a bush. The guards passed them. Looks like they haven't found them yet. Still looking.
Lora whispers to Stilla, "We need to get to the forest. How can we....lose the guards?"
S,"Cant you fight them off? You said you have powers."
L,"That'll cause too much chaos..."
L,"(I'm not even sure....What if we make it there and find nothing.)"
After a half an hour hiding and walking. Both finally reached the forest where Lora landed in the first place. It was too dark for them to see. Right before a few step away from that place, They heard the guards behind them again. They were 20 or more with their horses looking for them. "Get them!", They shouted while pointing their fire toward them.
Lora was frightened. She was freaking out inside, "(No! Not now! WE're so close!)"
They kept running. In that way, She completely forgot where that place was.
After running and running, They finally lost them in the darkness.
S,"LORA! WHERE IS IT!"
L,"...i...dont know."
S,"What?!"
L,"I....forgot. It was suppose to be right here."
Everything went silent for a second. Stilla faced her back and started crying. Suddebly, She kneeled infront of Lora.
L,"Astrid, what are-"
S,"I....dont wanna...die. Please...get me outta here."
L,"Im trying my best. But maybe...The door cant tell if it's the righ time yet..."
S,"They'll find us anytime. How can it not appear now!?!?Is there no other way?"
L,"what if...i make it appear...."
S,"How?"
Before Stilla could think out what Lora was about to do, In a second, Lora took out a knife from her bag and cuts out her hand. It started bleeding. Stilla was confused and frightneded.
S,"No, Lora, You cant kill yourself. You cant leave me-"
L,"Im not....hopefully. My healing chances are gone. If that red hood man really wants me to go back, It will surely appear with...the door."
S,"But what if it doesnt appear? What if something happens to you!!"
L,"I'll leave it to them to decide."
Lights filled them up all around. Once again, The guards were behind them, Shouting, "get them!!"
S,"There's no hope..."
The group came closer and closer.At last, They surrounded them from all around.
One of the leader from the grouo came forward with his horse and signed the others to get down and capture them.
Stilla prepared herself to face that king again. She kept looking down on her feet and started crying.
Before the guards could tie up Lora, She kneeled down and thought to herself,
"I...beg you. Please. This is our last chance. Please appear. We need to go back now..."
Nothing seemed to happen. As ordered, They tied them up to take them back.
L,"(please....)"

A light appeared in front of them. The brightness was incresing in every second. It shined so brightly that everyone covered their eyes. But Lora hands were tied up so she couldn't cover her eyes from the brightness. She tried to look up to it and saw a door. The door was opening for them.
Lora was so brightned up, she shouted,"This is it!
Stilla we need to get there."
Stilla couldnt understand what she meant but she followed her. Both hits off the guards who captured them and got rid off their tied uo hand.
The leader shouts, "NO! GET THEM!"
Stilla and Lora stood infront of the door and looked at each other. Both nods and holds each other's hand. At once they went inside the door.
The light started dissappearing from the place. When the light was gone, The guards looked around to find them but couldnt. Right Then, Someone who seemed to be hiding, came out of the group with his horse and steps toward the place where the door was. His face was covered. He then, Opened the mask.
Prince Rao?

Lora felt just the same when she first arrived there. A lot of sounds,voices,screams,cryings went through her head. She felt an unbearable pain for a while. But this time, She heard someone calling her up, It was a male voice, "Flora?"
At once, Lora woke up. She couldnt see anything for a second, Then everything became clear.
L,"Im in my room....in my bed....?
Was it all a dream?"
