"Elyana, My child, it's time for you to wake up"
Elyana who was in a deep sleep, heard a very gentle voice calling out for her and opened her eyes little by little.
After opening the eyes, Elyana looked at the woman who was standing in front of her with a gentle expression on her face. She is glowing with a golden light around her and her beauty was ethereal. She looks like an angel in Elyana's history book when she was at middle school . She seems to be a middle aged woman but she has a very youthful look too.
Elyana was truly taken aback by her appearance at first and she took sometime to come back to her senses.
Is she dreaming right now?
How could this kind of woman existing in her world?
Also, what is with this golden light around her?
This must be surely a dream. But why do she feel so real about this?
At this moment, Elyana got her memories about what happened at her apartment.
Wasn't she dying in pain awhile ago?
What is going on now?
Elyana felt little bit scared in her heart and looked at her surrounding with a scared look on her face. She couldn't see anything at all around her. There was only golden light surrounding her.
"Elyana, my child, you should calm down first. Don't get scared."
That gentle voice called out for her again and Elyana shifted her attention towards her and asked her "Can you tell me that if I am having a dream right now?"
The woman answered to her saying that "No. You are not dreaming, my child. This is the door between life and death and Elyana Valente, your lifetime has ended in your previous lifetime."
Elyana thought about how she was dying earlier and she understood that there is no way that she could have escaped that deathly situation . So, she believed in what this woman was saying.
Eventhough she was scared at first, after knowing that she is dead, she felt nothing at all because there was nothing to hold back her in her previous life. She doesn't have anything to feel sad about or she doesn't have anyone who she couldn't be apart from.
But she was curious about how she died because usually a fever wouldn't able to kill a person.
The woman infront of her said to Elyana without her inquiring" You consumed medicines which has expired years ago."
Elyana was dumbfounded by this reason. It's okay that she is dead but how could she just died by that kind of careless reason.
She didn't feel the urge to buy new medicines because she wasn't sick for more than a year , so those medicines must be the ones which she has bought when she came to live in the apartment for the first time.
Elyana asked that woman again " Actually, can you tell me who you are and also what is going to happen to me next?"
The other woman smiled at Elyana and said "As expected from Elyana Valente. You are not even a little bit reluctant about your previous life."
Elyana looked down with a sad expression and said to her " I don't have any strings attached to the previous life. I'm pitiful. Aren't I?"
The woman looked at Elyanan with a kindness filled eyes and said "No, my child, You are not pitiful at all."
Elyana didn't mind what this person was saying and she reminded her to answer for her previous question.
The woman answered Elyana in a very graceful manner "I'm the goddess who is responsible for the land Alcazar and my name is Filippa. It's nice to see you, Elyana Valente"
Elyana was truly impressed by the Filippa's gracefulness and she looked at her in awe before realizing what Filippa has said to her awhile before.
Elyana was taken aback by the word Alcazar and she repeated the word with a surprise filled voice "Land Alcazar!!!"
'The destiny of land Alcazar!!'
That is the book which she has read before dying.
She asked again Filippa " so, that book wasn't a fake story? There is truly a land called Alcazar and there is truly a person called Ezekiel Aschenbrener?"
When she said the name of Ezekiel, she toned down her voice without her knowledge and she became a little bit emotional.
Filippa looked at Elyana with amazement and said to her " yeah, that is the book which was written about the future of Alcazar and that book was meant to find you before your death."
So, it is a true story. It was not built by any author's imagination. No wonder that story felt so real unlike any other usual book. Also, she felt the mysteriousness in that book when she held it in her hands. This explained why there was no mention about the author in that book.
She reminded of Ezekiel again.
Then, he has truly gone through all of these sufferings in his life. Her heart started to ache more than before because Ezekiel is a true person and he wasn't some fictional character.
" So, Ezekiel would definitely die in the future according to that book. He is a truly pitiful person. I would have been more happy to know that he is just a some fictional character of a book than to know that he is a real person with flesh and blood." Elyana said with a sad voice and she asked again" But can you tell me what do you mean by that book was meant to find me?"
"My child, You were bound to die as Elyana Valente at the age of 25 years old in this life and it's the written destiny of yours. But your journey as Elyana Valente won't end here and you will continue your journey in Alcazar empire because I have chosen you as the saviour of Alcazar." Filippa answered to her.
Elyana was puzzled by Filippa's word. How could she supposed to save the land Alcazar? Isn't it Alcazar's destiny to be destroyed in the end by the hand of Ezekiel? How could she change a written destiny like that?
She is just a weak girl. How could she go against a powerful emperor like him. She would be the one who will be in trouble in the end by going against Ezekiel.
Eventhough Elyana was truly pitying Ezekiel so much, she isn't that much daring to go infront of him. Since she has read that book , she is very well aware about Ezekiel's cold hearted nature.
Isn't it like she was seeking her own death by appearing in front of him?
