"so what's going to happen next?" Kelly asked the lady still lowering her head with a troubled expression all over her face, "you have great fighting and survival spirit, that's why you were able to cross the barrier between life and death in the first place, hence meeting me. That alone proves that you can take my place, in fact I think all this was destined to begin with…" the lady said, "I see…wait a sec, what do you mean by take your place? And why do you keep talking about Fate and Destiny like some Monk or Taoist Priest", Kelly said as she raised her head to look at the lady, but noticed that there was something going on with her body, "wha…what's wrong with your body? when did that orb that's sucking your body way appear? Why do you look transparent now?", Kelly said feeling slightly panicked by the phenomenon happening before her eyes, "pffft…you're really a funny person, weren't you the one who previously wanted to survive desperately? as for that?" the lady said while pointing at the silver colored orb that floated right in front of her while shimmering, "Well that's my life essence it's going back to its original form before it's completely absorbed …it was bound to happen sooner or later anyway… actually before appearing here I coincidentally found out that my body has a very special and rare constitute, that's one of the reasons why we both can even co-exist in one subconscious realm, or else, this would have been totally impossible, but there is a price for sharing my subconscious and that is my disappearance…because only the strong survives…it seems the person who kept my subconscious from disappearing knew that you would come…because even if I survived…I'll only live for at most 5 years which is until I turn 28 before passing away…but with you here everything changes" the lady said with a melancholic expression, "so the strong lives and the weak dies…" Kelly said after realizing the entire situation, "mmhm" the lady said as she nodded slightly, "you said you had suddenly got some information that you didn't know if they were correct while you were here right?" Kelly asked, "yeah that's right", the lady said, "well, isn't there a solution to this problem? I honestly don't remember why I wanted to live so desperately before but still, I will never stand to the idea of taking an innocent life in other for me to get my goal, maybe it was my fate to die back then, so if there is anything I can do to help you even if it's at the cost of my life, then I'm willing to do it, besides I'm already dead but got the chance to see a beautiful view like this place one last time, hence I have nothing to lose if I were to die again" Kelly said, "don't worry, you're not taking an innocent life and besides this has already happened we can't change anything, despite the fact that my life will end in the matter of minutes, I still don't feel sad, I know my limit and I'm willing to let someone capable enough to take my place, besides…I have no solution to this", the lady said. "I'm not as strong willed as you, I have no lingering attachments in my life, I just want to be free…the only thing I know, I could regret is not taking revenge on those people that caused me to be so torn and not giving my grandpa a warm hug one last time, but my will to be free is far stronger than those regrets and besides my subconscious doesn't have time in this world anymore since you're here. So I'm willingly giving you everything, you can do as you see fit, because I trust your decision and judgments whether it be good or bad, so live this life because it is now yours", the lady said as her body began to dissipate little by little starting from her toe, "So, you're just going to leave like that? Don't you think you're being unfair to does who may have really cared for you? What about your grandfather he'd be seriously heart broken when he gets the news of his granddaughter's death…besides how the hell I'm I suppose to take your place and live as I want!" the lady cut Kelly off saying, "you'll know when you awaken and I've taken care of my grandfather…here take this…" the lady said giving Kelly the bird/chick as a sparkling silver light accompanied the floating silver colored bird/chick into Kelly's arms, the lady's waist was disappearing at the same time, moving up to her belly, "why are you giving me the bird?" Kelly asked the disappearing lady, "that's the familiar of my subconscious…I think,…I don't really know too but when I first laid my eyes on it, it was in danger of getting scorched by the flames that filled this place, I couldn't help but to have a strong urge to save it, it has been sleeping comfortably and unwilling to wake up ever since then, instead its been snuggled close to me while sleeping, but since I'm leaving, I might as well give it away…" the lady said as her body turned transparent, at the same time tears wiled up in Kelly's Blue flame-colored eyes, noticing this, the lady stretched out her hands in other to wipe away the tear that rolled down Kelly's cheeks "Don't cry, actually I enjoyed my life and I do not regret being born…but I really need someone who's as strong willed, persistent, intelligent and brave as you, and who can be able to fulfill the destiny that is meant for this body…but please be careful of the evil lurking in the shadows… and be careful of the sect that feeds on blood…they're dangerous...this world is really not what the mortal eyes see…there is beauty and danger much scary than being betrayed by a loved one and more beautiful than the mind can imagine if you look closer, so I wish you a prosperous and happy life…ohh and my name is Xi Ling, Bye…" the lady said as she completely disappears from Kelly's sight, and like a vacuum cleaner, the orb absorbed Xi Ling into it, making Kelly's entire surrounding to go as quiet as a grave yard instantly.
