Kian and Luke invites Ryan and David to a secret underground basement of the Dela Muerte Clan building. The way is chilly as the walls are made of rocks embracing them with the cold air. It's dark, lit only by candles and torches that are burning inside the stone boxes.
The whole area is darker than what everyone thought. They are rewarded by a big scenery at the end of the way.
There is two trees in the middle glowing from the light of a mysterious river. It flows from two different directions as resembling the Yin and Yang.
All of them ponders around as they perceived the big empty mysterious place. The view befuddles them. Ryan and David can't believe that something like this exist under the building.
"This is the spring of knowledge and strength." Luke states. "It was carved into here by the ancestors for our clan to hide all kinds of information about the future and how humans will survive in the world."
"Future?" Ryan wonders.
"Future flows differently every time someone made a choice, It is then when another dimension appears. One dimension on where you choose the other and one for another choice. This future can only show what you want to know. What does your heart really want to know." Kian explains.
"What exactly are we doing here anyway?" David asks because of boredom.
"Ryan's memories shall be restored, and this spring is the answer. It contains the memories of the person whole will be submerged into it." Luke explains.
"But that's not what we really want you to do." Kian states looking at both of them.
David and Ryan are befuddled on what idea may Kian be thinking.
"What do you mean by that?" Ryan asks.
"This is called a pact. Yes, You got a pact with Voogd but it isn't actually effective" Kian says looking at Ryan. "You as well, Your pact with the Mythical Serpent isn't a good one." Kian states once more, but now looking at David.
"We will teach both of you a basic technique that will help you in emergencies." Luke states.
Ryan looks at them, waiting for the answer.
"First all of, You need to go to the trees on each side. Beware of submerging, As I say it can restore Ryan's memory, but you will be filled with your thoughts. A bad one is a dangerous one, so be careful." Luke explains.
Ryan first submerged in the water, He thought he can swim on it, but instead it pushes him down. The whole spring is deeper than what both of them thinks.
And he's not used to deepness. He tried to keep his breaths in and calm down. But he couldn't. His legs are starting to fail. It is no use. He could hardly breathe or talk. His vision starts to blur. Ryan felt like he was floating, his limbs were becoming numb and tired. He was already feeling dizzy. And before he knew it, Ryan feels like he fell out of the spring into deep space.
He is falling, falling down through the dark sky. His lungs feel empty, but he has no intention to breathe. All of a sudden, Ryan can hear voices talking. He tries to listen on them, but he can't, Suddenly a hand appeared and takes him.
He ponders around only to see a teen In front of him. The teen resembles his looks, especially his metal arm.
"Do you think remembering everything will solve this?, You…I…We remove our memory to show David that we care for others. Don't you think it's better to just stop caring at all? Like forget everything." His replica stated.
Ryan sits near his replica, hugs him tightly. "It's okay to forget our pasts if we'd like. Escape from the thing that restraints us. But the past is the foundation of the present and present is the foundation of the Future. We shouldn't stop caring towards everything, They are what who helps to rebuild us." Ryan states and holds his replica's face.
"Look, You're my memory that shows what I have become. You see, David kisses me passionately that time. It shows how he loved us so much. Have you ever looked around you? I began to learn that you are a lucky memory." Ryan says to his replica, who is befuddled.
"But they are just the people who are around me." the replica replies.
Ryan smiles and began to laugh, "You're one lucky person, Everyone is amazed by you. There is a lot of people that cares for you. Sinzu, Althea, Black, David, Voogd, Mayon, Kian, Luke, The people in the mansion, The whole Dela Muerte Clan and your family. You are not alone, You can't stop caring for those type of people's around you. Now do me a favor and stop being a crybaby and accepts who you really are." Ryan says smiling.
His replica also smiles and hugs him. There is something warm into the hugs the replica gave to him. The replica speaks while smiling. "You're right." Before dissapering and getting absorbed by Ryan.
Everything Flashes through his eyes as he began to remember everything from the time he got trapped from other dimension to the time David argues with him. He is kneeling on the ground and tears began to pour out of his eyes. His precious memories that he tries to erase, How his friends tries to do everything just to get him back."Thank you" Ryan says.
He is awoken by the flow of the water, taking him back into his senses. He walked into the direction and managed to get into the other side.
Kian and Luke are surprised to see him on the other side, smiling.
"It's impressive. He manages to get into the other side without any problem." Kian says. But Luke takes a glance on where David submerged. David is still not appearing, He is worried that David's thoughts affect him.
"He will be fine, He's a guardian, you know." Kian says, trying to calm Luke. Deep down inside, he knew that it would be hard and possibly impossible for David to do so.
