Chapter 5 - Chapter 4:Back From The Past?Or Illusion of the Past?

As I Remember We Have No Bed We Slept on the Floors Always,The Room Was Small And Dusty, There's Some Item i can Use here,The Windows is Two On on the Northside one on the Westside,The Cloud is Gloomy, I See The Outside and it's Very Old, At First I See No One But Every Second Some People Appear And They're Familiar, Those Are My Neighbors and Some Of My Friends And Some Of Them Died Long ago in present time of my Reality, But it's looklike im back 5 years ago When i Was Grade 5 But My Body is The Same as my present me.

I Open A Door And See another Room Infront, The Room Has No Door And Just A Curtain i Wonder in there and See No One But in A Blink of an eye i see my Baby Nephew, My Uncle and Auntie.

They Greet Me, I Feel Chill Since They Just Appear out of Nowhere,And My Baby Nephew Is like Staring to My Soul, I Immediately Go Out Of The Room,And I Take the Wooden Stairs to Go Down And See My Grandparents, Grandfather is Watching Tv While Grandmother is Cooking,They Didn't Notice Me.

I Regain My Focus And Think My Task i Speak To My Mind on Where i Will Start My Mystery Solving, And Find A Way To Maya And Jasmin, Then COR Voice Whisper in My Mind.

COR:Start in the Forest....

With That Words i remember that The There's A Forest Nearby, That Is Not Close, In My REALITY In the Present times it was Close Because it was Bought by a Company.

Without hesitation, I rushed towards the forest, my heart pounding with anticipation. As I entered its depths, the air grew thick with a sense of foreboding. The trees loomed tall and imposing, casting long shadows that danced in the fading light. It was as if the forest itself held its breath, waiting for my arrival.

True to the Controller of Reality's words, I soon spotted a familiar girl among the trees. She had a haunting beauty, her eyes filled with a sadness that mirrored my own. I strained my memory, desperately trying to recall her name. But it remained elusive, slipping through my fingers like smoke.

As I approached her, the girl turned towards me, her gaze piercing through my soul. There was an eerie calmness about her, as if she knew what was about to unfold. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenge that awaited me.

"Hello," I greeted her, my voice steady despite the racing of my heart. "I... I remember you, but I can't recall your name. Can you remind me?"

A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she nodded. "I am Emmarie. We were classmate, Wonderer, in a reality long forgotten."

Emmarie. The name echoed in my mind, triggering a cascade of memories. She was someone I held dear, someone who had left an indelible mark on my past. But her presence here, in this forest, meant that she too was lost.

Before I could delve deeper into our shared past, the Controller of Reality's voice resounded in my mind, breaking the silence.

COR:This is the first challenge of this forest, Wonderer, is the Challenge of Human Desire. You must resist your desires while Emmarie offers you temptation. If you accept her advances, she will reveal her true form as a hostile dryad. But if you refuse her in a disrespectful manner, she will also turn into a hostile dryad. You must face this challenge with grace and integrity.

I swallowed hard, understanding the gravity of the situation. This challenge was not merely a test of physical strength, but a battle against the darkness within myself. I had to resist the allure of my desires, no matter how tempting they may be.

Emmarie moved closer, her eyes filled with a mix of longing and trepidation. "Wonderer," she whispered, her voice like a soft caress. "In this lost reality, we can be together, free from the burdens of our past. Don't you want that?"

Her words stirred something deep within me, a longing for a place where my memories were not fragmented, where I could find solace and belonging. But I knew that giving in to my desires would only lead to further confusion and pain.

With every ounce of willpower, I took a step back, gently pushing Emmarie away. "Emmarie, I... I can't. This isn't real, and I can't lose myself in false promises. I need to find the truth, even if it means facing the darkness within."

Emmarie's eyes flickered with disappointment, but she nodded, a newfound respect shining through her gaze. "You have grown, Wonderer. I can see the strength in you now, the resolve to uncover the truth. I will aid you in your journey, as a friend and ally."

As her words washed over me, a sense of relief washed away the lingering doubts. Together, we would face the challenges that lay ahead, the mysteries of the Lost Reality waiting to be unraveled.

[With Emmarie(Dryad) by my side, we ventured further into the forest, our footsteps echoing through the ancient trees. The darkness closed in around us, but I felt a glimmer of hope, a flicker of light pushing back against the encroaching shadows.

The Challenge of Human Desire was just the beginning, a test of my resolve. But as long as I stayed true to myself, I knew that the truth of my memories and the path to reuniting with Jasmin and Maya would become clearer.
