A lost, heart-broken, shattered, fatigued,heavily wounded phoenix, who was dragging her body back to the safe place, stumbled a little and fell directly to the dirty, dusty ground. 

After a few minutes, with the last remaining strength,she shifted her half-crawling, half-lying body,facing the beautiful starry milky way galaxy of The Universe,in front, or can say above. 

The scene was breath-taking,intriguing,amazing in front of her. Amidst the beautiful view, she got lost in her memories and the view. The calm, dangerous,peaceful, silent, deserted place surrounds her. 

' Can she ever go back to her carefree self? Can she ever live happily again? Can she ever smile again? Can she ever feel satisfied in her life?' - She was lost in her introspection. 

She knows, it wasn't the end for her. It never was. And it never can be. After all, how could the Goddess of rebirth, re-incarnation, rejuvenation, healing and nirvana, die. She is bound to be ageless, beautiful and immortal. 

A boon or maybe a curse. 

When she was completely lost, like a pitiful, poor puppy, she heard the heart-wrenching cries. 

Cries of help. Cries of desperation. Cries of protection. Cries of an earthling, who doesn't want to die, who wants to fight death, but doesn't carry the strength to do that. 

~~

' Please help me.' 

' Someone help me.' 

' I don't want to die.' 

' Please save me.' 

' *Cough* Help *Cough* Please help.' A voice as gentle as flowing water, a voice as soft and smooth as honey kept on pleading. Pleading to humans of Earth, pleading to deities of Heavens, just to save her life.

Just because she didn't want to die. She wanted to live. 

A little girl, who was entrapped in the burning house, who has been more innocent than the word innocence itself. A girl, who is even more pure than the flames of Holy Fire. 

The girl who is more sacred than the water of Holy river Ganga. She was pleading to each and every creature of this Universe, just because she didn't want to die. 

*Boom* But as if even the gods don't have any mercy towards this little girl, the entire house exploded out with flames engulfing each and everything including her. 

~~

' My lady, we can save her.' The bird side of the phoenix stated. 

' I know.' The heavily fatigued phoenix replied, who was finding it more and more difficult to stay put her eyes open.  After all, for the goddess of rebirth and reincarnation, it is damn easy to revive this person.

' Then, what is concerning you, my lady?' Bird asked, curiously. 

'Her.' She replied honestly. Despite the tiredness taking its toll on her, she was still completely clear-headed. 

' Why?' Bird asked. 

' She is a weakling. I don't want to waste my breath saving an unworthy individual.' She replied, as if she was in a great dilemma.

' My Lady, is she reminding you.. of your… past self.' Bird asked, with little hesitation.  After all, there was a time, when this Phoenix used to be stupid, innocent, carefree yet a complete weakling, too. 

It's just that the brutal annihilation of her species made her the strongest, unbreakable, undefeatable force of the present. 

' Hmm.' She replied in agreement. 

'Then, are we breaking The Universal Law?' Bird asked curiously…

~~

' Ah!5701 is awake.. 2347 take a look, hurry up.' The little girl, who found the source of light, after floating in the darkness for what seems like an eternity, heard the voice as clear and cool as a water breeze. 

After hearing the human's voice, little girl, Aelin relaxed. So, that fire and all, was just a nightmare. It had scared the living lights out of her. 

But the next moment ; ' Uwagh!!!!!' She screamed on top of her lungs, after finding out the source of voice. 

A green, shruby creature, who looked no less than 'Spinach Monster' was the source of voice, voice as calm and clear as water breeze. 

'W-What's that!!! Definitely not a human.'

' Just what on the Earth is that?'

' Is he human? Or Am I dead? Am I in hell, then?' Her brain screamed loudly, after which it underwent an immediate shut down.

Poor human named Aelin, was so shocked by the appearance of the creature and the place, where she was at present, that before she could either utter a word of either question or say something. Her poor body couldn't take it any further and faint away. 

~~

' Wake up, sleepy head. I need you.' 

When Aelin heard a voice, as gentle as melted wax, as tender as roses, as warm as the sun of the winters, her beautiful long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly. 

She opened her turquoise blue eyes.. very slowly, only to get entrapped within the pair of black eyes, which carries the hint of golden hues in them. 

Damn, those eyes.. How enthralling, how enchanting, how beautiful… she lost herself, the moment she woke up, in that pair of eyes.

~~

While somewhere in The Same Universe ; 

' Wake up, sleepy head.' A strong, dominating female voice echoed in the masculine, blant, strong, dark room. 

' I said, wake up, right now. Or I will make you regret it.' The voice resounded again, with the increased strength and oppression in it. 

But the person sleeping was more fussy than Kumbhkaran himself, he just turned to the other side of the bed, while covering his head with a pillow, to avoid the noise, or warning of certain creatures.

She went near him, removed the pillow and then..

SPLASH!!! 

' What the… A-Aelin. Aish! I was dreaming about my beautiful fantasy life. Why did you give me a free shower?' Taekook, who felt like he had just suffered from the Tsunami attack, woke up immediately while sitting straight on his drenched bed. 

' I warned you, before. Hehe.' And the owner of the dominant, strong voice, also named Aelin, replied back with a cute yet little embarrassed smile. 

'What happened?' Taekook asked. Ah! He was at the last stage of the wedding procession with this little girl, in the middle of his fantasy dream. Yet, before he could say 'I do', those two precious words, his dream got washed away by the sudden tsunami attack. 

' It's 8 AM Boss. We are supposed to reach the company before 8:15. So, hurry up. Or, I won't mind dragging you in your current situation to the company.' Aelin warned him, in a strict teacher tone. 

Poor Taekook, now he was in the regression phase of his life. His biggest regret : To make this little girl his Personal Secretary.
