Olivia had made a request to Samuel's grandfather. The two had asked the old man for help, and Samuel had used his magic to help them. With a flick of a finger, the two had disappeared and reappeared on the surface of the familiar green grass.
This time there was no mistaking it, they had truly returned to the village where they lived, the conditions were exactly the same as the road she traveled every day. In fact, Olivia was also familiar with the paths around there. "Thank goodness, I thought we wouldn't be able to get home." she said as she looked around.
"I think I dreamed the exact same thing today. It seems like fate brought us together." Olivia started chatting in the middle of the road.
Leon stopped his steps and looked at Olivia's face. "Really?" the young man chuckled.
"Is it possible that your dream is a clue for us to meet each other?" Leon's laughter sounded crisp until Olivia frowned. "I don't think so, maybe after this there's a place we should go, you remember their group leader's message, right?"
Leon was silent, he didn't know whether to do the request of the figure they called Alpha. "But, how do we find it? While on this earth there are many humans living in many places and even continents."

Anxious faces had covered the expressions of the citizens gathered at the edge of the forest with towering trees. People began to panic when one of the ronda officers named Leon disappeared without news since two days ago.
One of the youths represented the other youth members, they were teammates with Leon who went to a local leader. His ragged breathing seemed like he wanted to tell him something. "Sir, we've been searching in and out of the forest, but we haven't seen any signs or traces. What should we do?"
"Calm down and don't worry, we're still waiting for the others to come, who knows they might bring good news?" The local chief tried to create a peaceful atmosphere. "We should pray for Leon's safe return home." The chief continued to urge his people to be more patient.
"Are you sure that if we find Leon, he'll still be alive?"
The chief was speechless and tilted his head. Not daring to look up to see the young man's face, he said in a low voice, "If God permits, he will return safely."
They believed the words of their chief and decided to continue the search around the forest. "Hopefully our efforts will be fruitful." other residents seemed to hold out hope.
At that time, one of the residents accidentally turned his eyes towards the forest, immediately he shouted calling other residents while pointing towards the path to the forest, "Look that way! Is he the one we're looking for?"
The chief immediately stood up to watch and continued to observe.
As the apparition came into clear view, he suddenly shouted, "Yeah, right! It's him."
A sudden cry came from the middle-aged woman who had been crying the entire time. She became overjoyed when she saw that it was Leon returning home. "Alhamdullilah ya Allah, my son, Leon is finally home too!"
Everyone crowded the streets and fixed their eyes in one direction. Leon's figure was clearly visible after passing through the glare of the sun.
A young man who was tired of looking for Leon seemed to want to convince himself, "He really is Leon." Said David, a friend of his with the spirit of convincing people.
Leon watched the crowd at the edge of the forest, although there were too many obstacles on the way, who would have thought that he could return home with the help of magic belonging to astral creatures he had just met.
He was even more excited when he saw his mother's face which gave him a new spirit to keep walking faster. Everyone gathered around me Leon and his mother.
"Leon? Is this really you? Luckily you're okay." Said one of his colleagues greeting, while Leon just grinned without feeling any guilt.
His mother's face full of panic immediately hugged Leon's body. "God, I bow down to you in gratitude, my son is safe." the middle-aged woman said in a hoarse voice, she had been crying for so long lamenting Leon's fate.
Leon was deeply moved to be reunited with his family, and he tried to calm his mother down.
At this time, many individuals including the local area leader, were surrounding him. "Leon, we'd better go back home and explain why you haven't come home all this time." Leon's mother, invited him to go home.
Leon understood the condition of his mother who was already exhausted looking for him, he immediately embraced his mother while hobbling his feet, while carrying the thing that was still a question about the secret that the old grandfather had not yet mentioned.

Exhaustion made Olivia sleepy when she arrived at her house. No matter if she was hungry or thirsty, being able to go back to her house and lie down in bed quietly, made her very grateful.
In addition, the ancient book that made her seem like a healer who could treat scars and remove them.
Her mind could not penetrate the mystery of the book, making her eyes closed instantly.
There was something strange when Olivia woke up from her sleep, her hungry stomach forced her to open her eyes and get up from her bed in the middle of the night. Just like the previous days, the atmosphere around Olivia's house was quiet and still.
Usually Olivia would play soft music as a comfort when she was in a slump. "I think I should cook something." she thought as she walked out of the room. Her gaze went straight to the refrigerator that was only a few steps away.
But when she opened the fridge, a fragrant smell wafted from the direction of her kitchen, the hunger pangs that had been building up made her want to investigate. "Strange, there's no one else here, but why do I hear noise from the kitchen?"
At that moment he chose not to speak anymore. Even curiosity and anxiety made her quicken her pace. "Are you awake, Olivia?" Olivia looked at the figure holding a cooking utensil while standing in her kitchen room questioningly, she even rubbed her eyes several times to make sure the figure was now smiling at her.
You could see that the expression on her face had turned nervous. "Why are you here..."
