Finally, vayori had landed in a strange realm. While lying close to the shore asleep, she opens her blue pearly eyes to planet earth.
"Iki" she whispers as she sits up in a haste .
"A hazy dream this must be, such a dimension filled with... walking fogs"
"but fogs are not of such pure beauty" Vayori exclaims as she rises weakly from the shore of the sea and tries hard to walk but finds herself back down drowsily on the sand as she hears shrieks from afar and loses consciousness.
"Miss are you alright? " A tall gentleman in a white drooling coat asked with a sharp smile on his face as his cosy sea green eyes rested on Vayori's injected wrists.
"Voila monsieur, but who are you and where am I exactly"
"You need to calm miss; your brain is not in the right shape. I will tell you a little later about whom I am but first you have to rest now. "
"I can't remember anything else other than fogs and Iki, well um, I see but can you tell me what place it is, well I mean here where I am placed on"
"it's a bed" The tall doctor replied as he leaves the ICU to his office where a young 28 year old business man had been waiting.
"So doctor how is she doing" he asks with a dull look on his face and droopy eyes
" Iki, you know that you should not be asking after Vayori after what you told Rykashi and the others about her" he said picking up a list of medications.
"Uncle NATO, you really should look and observe first before you say anything" Iki said while standing up slowly from the armchair wile walking towards the blank wall gazing at the unseen invisible cracks as his eyes shone a sea blue.
"You really Know how to play with fire, Ikinose"
"The more reason you could send me to my early grave, would the fierce Ikinose revoke into the fifth dimension with in invisible cracks on the wall or a change in climate, Uncle NATO"
"Forgive my manners, Ikinome" he says as the both men leave the office to the ICU room.
"You always do that uncle and you get me into too much trouble, you of all guardians know much about my twin brother and that he doesn't leave Pendai for no reason especially when it comes to....."
he says while staring sideways towards the hospital bed and Vayori on the oxygen mask as he walks towards her and holds her slender fingers in his firm palm.
"Vayori"
"Iki I think you should stay with her;she will soon loose every memory of her fight with the guardian that summoned the damned demons. Remember that Rykashi loosed her from Pendai because your twin reported a heresy given against Halo, the guardian who summoned Beelz and his demons, and you know fully well that to be loosed from Pendai is still the same as being expelled and once you're banished, no one will remember and she would cease to..."
"NATO, she's a god, she can't cease to exist because of lost memory from the dwellers and semi-gods" he says as he withdraws away from her and moves to the door but sharply turns back.
"Uncle, once she recovers. please, get her to Wang hai Island to my abode"
"no shifts again"
"No, just make sure she safely reaches the Island"
"Okay"
"Thanks" Iki smiles as he slams the door behind him as he leaves, dragging his feet down the stairs not minding the elevator
"You know Iki, you really should have used the elevator instead of going down 268 stairs down the building.
