"Huuu"
The cold didn't affect me at all now. After meeting Aurora, my mind became clear. I look at the world and realize I don't properly look at it before. The beautiful aurora borealis that didn't written in my book, the world beyond words and pages, can i see more of it?
When i still mesmerised by the view, I heard someone's cold voice behind me
"Have you heard of Aurora?"
Hiiro asked me. How did he get here? He knows Aurora too? Wait, the view above is aurora too… is he testing me?
"It's the name of the city right? Or you mean something else?"
Hiiro just stared silently, I don't know what is he thinking but he somehow scares me a little bit
"There are 3 auroras. First, is the city. Second, is the view we are seeing now. And third… is from the cave you exit from"
He isn't supposed to know. I underestimate the changes.
"Her mana in the atmosphere dissipated when you enter the cave, so you has taken her legacy…"
"Moreover, you didn't have an affinity, something that all who have a soul should had"
"Who are you?"
He's smart… right, he's not the one who I wrote… he… he pissed me off
"Hah, then what do you want? I am me, Dream… yes, i am me, Dream! So what?"
"…nothing, you just pissed me off"
"Same for me!"
In the snowy mountain, they let out their emotions to each other
"You make my sister sleeping in the field!"
"Ugh, I don't ask to be her bodyguard"
"You are not polite to us even though we didn't even close"
Akh, sh*t I'm losing…
"You are unreasonable. And crazy. And bad-mouthed. And! Why did you even save us!!"
Dream can't say it, Hiiro in front of him didn't know anything… no one knows what's the fate stored for them… but i know… then it's simply
"Because it's what i had to do"
Hiiro stopped, the past memories when he failed emerges again 'there's no justice'
"You think you can do that!"
He put off the mana sword and mustered his strongest punch, but Dream blocked it. Both of their hands becomes red
"I will. Didn't you already doing it too"
"Haa, aaaAAAAAHHH"
"haaaAAAAAA"
Their fight didn't end, but this time they exchanging blow by blow and fist with fist. Pouring all their hesitance away and forging their resolutions more and more
Liliya look at them in the other side with worry. But then, she remembered something. In her memories of distant past, a line of thought emerged. 'Isn't this the rumoured bros fight between a rival and best friend!'
Since when they become so close? Liliya put away her worries and continue to watch them with fascinated
After that, Liliya bring the two bruised boy home and they got scolded by the count

The life inside a count palace is a blessing. The place is big, the bed is soft and bouncy, and the food is uhh delicious~ it's a bliss
The only bad thing is the weather, it's cold. I don't like cold… Selena isn't here… I'm bored.
Celyn goes to the place that always keep her company if she's bored. The library
"Oh"
But this time she's not alone. Hiiro are there silently reading a book again. He notice her and give her the book she hasn't finished before
Celyn take it and sat beside him. They read their book in silence. The scent of wood, the sounds of flapping pages, and… the warmth she feels in her heart
Celyn life is getting better, Liliya always talks with her, Dream sometimes asked her to show him magic, but what she likes the most is this times of reading book with Hiiro.
'It's like a dream'
Hiiro always bring her to bed when she falls asleep… just like now. She have a good dream today
"…she come here to read a book or sleep?"
Hiiro place her in his lap, and continue reading
*
I'm annoyed, why the boys are very troublesome? I showed Dream my favourite place, but he used sleeping magic to me and goes somewhere else. So today i must punish this ungrateful boy
"I'm sorry, okay. This is the 24th times I said sorry, please forgive me~"
"Uhh hmph"
Uwa he actually learned acting cute already. I almost give in and release him, huhh calm down
"I know you did this because Dream wronged you, but why am i here too…?"
I dragged brother too, it's to make a bonding together because he always fighting with Dream
(Haah but i don't want to)
(We must maintain order and friendship okay)
(Urgh)
What did i do to punish them? Hehe that is sewing! Let me tell you an interesting fact. Sewing is very boring but need focus, control, precision, and more importantly time consuming. For the ambitious boys like them, it's like hell hahahaha HUWAHAHAHAHA
Liliya always drag him to do something random like this, but Hiiro is more frustrated this time. Now he knows that he is weak, so he needs to spend time for training, not this! 'I need to protest' unfortunately he didn't have the courage to do so and silently shed tears…
It's the same for Dream. After got caught not doing his job properly, Count enraged and personally reprimand him. Poor Dream got his first trauma and probably won't recover for a long time. He didn't dare to object Liliya again
Celyn is there too, watching, or maybe sleeping in front of the fireplace
Liliya like this peacefulness. Except the boys that are groaning like a prisoner doing hard labour, it's a nice scene. After they come home, Dream and Hiiro always training. She too knows the feeling of helplessness and she too worked hard like them
But, is it okay to spend the rest of their childhood like that? No, absolutely not. Liliya didn't want to let them suffer for the rest of their life, searching for power. Spiritual needs is important too, so she must give them that. She hoped they don't walk to the wrong path…for her
"Isn't it looks nice? Looks like they will not waver in front of power~ you don't need to worry anymore, Vito"
"Yes, they are doing great"
Count smiled, he didn't need to worry, so he can do whatever he need now
"Selena, are you ready? This will be a long and arduous tasks"
"Yes~ it will be exciting to destroy the world!"
"…"
Count didn't plan to hide, he will attack them. How can he let them endanger his daughter? He will gather more power and more intel. And eventually destroy all of his enemies
"The Silver Devil of Judgement will emerge again, this time i will shake the dark world"
*
"Agh I'm tired, even though my body is stronger that my past self, it didn't have a tired resistance"
He lay in his bed, the bed he didn't believe to have as a student. Even his parents didn't have this big. He closed his eyes, but open them again
"I can't sleep…"
Dream looked beside the table, it's a notebook. He think for a while, then get up and grab a pen. He took a deep breath, collecting his thoughts, then start to write
[Dream's Diary]
' I trained like crazy today, funnily just like the Dream before i come here…
I already aim to change their fate, so it's a must…
Somehow it's bearable because I'm not alone…
I learned a lot of things…
I must be prepared for this world, because it's not a novel anymore, there's many things I don't know of…
There's the changes too, i still doesn't know what happened…
But not all is that bad, if they will change, I must make sure they changed in a good direction…
So… I will write them… their efforts that will change their future…
besides, it's about me too. I will experience the world I don't write…
And maybe someday, i can understand the reason why i am here

7 years later…
a letter arrives…
