Thirty-Three:
"I simply miss you, Almos." I said cutting him off.
Without thinking of it I just speak out the truth and I don't care if he will believe it or not because all I care is that, I really miss him even though we don't have any good memories being together that long. I just simply miss him.
"You're being ridiculous."
"No I'm not, I'm just being honest."
"If that is the reason why you summoned me here then I'll leave now."
"You can't." I confidently answered.
"And why I can't?"
"Because I won't allow you to go back not until my break time ends," I answered and smiled. "Do you want some?" I offered him my food.
"Don't joke on me, Jeanne. Because you will not like what I may able to do, so if I were you, let me go back to my own realm." He warned me.
"Uhm, I'll think about it."
"Jeanne!" his voice got a little bit high but instead I'll be scared I just laugh at him. "What was that?"
"Hey! Will you please relax? Besides, there's nothing wrong with you joining me even for a moment in my reality."
"No, you are wrong very wrong. You don't know how dangerous it is—wait! You can control you powers now?" he suddenly realize one thing and that was the thing that I also realize this morning.
…
Hours ago…
I wake up with lightness and peace because I didn't go to my dream world and yet I feel this sudden urge of missing something from that world.
Whether I admit it or not, I also miss the people I spend time with in my dream world and I can't stop thinking about them.
'How can I check them at least from a distance and even for a moment while I'm awake?' I silently asked myself when someone called out my name. 'Ilmatar!' I burst out the name that owns the voice.
'You've finally heard my call, Jeanne.'
'Yes I can hear you but how did it happen?'
'You can easily control your power, and it seems the water from the well also fix your uncontrolled abilities.'
I don't know what should I feel however what Ilmatar said is true, I can truly control my powers without forcing myself to remember how I did those things because right now, I am standing in a hill where I can see my school at my dream world. I just clear my mind and think of a place while sitting at my bed, where I can see my school clearly without being notice and this is a perfect spot.
"Wow! Just thinking of it, I am here already." I gladly commented.
"I'm glad you've finally learned how to use your powers." Ilmatar said and she just showed up unexpectedly.
"Woah! I didn't summon you!" I surprisingly answered.
She laughs. "I just come here as soon as you came here."
"Oh, okay!" I said and turned my eyes back to my school. "How can I explain it?"
"You feel like you're present here but the truth you aren't, right?"
"Yes, you were right! How did you know that?" I surprisingly asked her as I look back at her.
"Because you really not present here, how can I explain it. Oh! It was your mind that travels here not your spirit. Meaning, no one can even sense that you were here not even Almos or those Demons. That is why you have nothing to worry about."
"I'm confused."
"Pinch your shoulder so that you'll know."
I do as she said and to my surprised, my hand just passes through my shoulder. "What!"
"You're simply just an imagination of your mind." Ilmatar answered.
"How this is possible?"
"Having a clear and peaceful mind, you'll get a great vision without using the portal of Dreams. It also means that you don't have to use your Spirit Body and it will really keep you safe away from those Demons."
"So, you mean I can still monitor this place even though I don't dream?"
"Yes yet, you still need to go back here and enter the portal of Dreams."
"Why?"
"The Jeanne in here has a life too and for that reason, you still need to live here until you can finally control all your powers completely."
"What you mean completely?"
"Uhm, you'll know it one by one for now, you should end this before your sister saw you stunned while looking for nothing."
"I'm even more confused by what I know now."
"Don't worry it will clear soon. For now, go and one more thing. If your mind is clear, you can summon someone that you wanted to meet in your reality."
I intently stared at her before I finally got what she's talking about. "Alright, thank you." I said and went back to my reality.
…
Present time…
I shrug. "So, what are doing before I summoned you here?" I asked rather than to answer his question.
"So, you can really control your powers." He concluded that I just smiled and continues my lunch. "Good! This is really a good sign you may now stop going back to your dreams because it is much safer if you're not there."
"No I can't do that, as what Ilmatar told me."
"Did you talk to Ilmatar?" he surprisingly asked.
"Yes."
"When?"
"This morning."
"What!" in silence I can sense that he said something I should not hear.
"What is it?" I just asked instead.
Almos stares at me before he sighed. "Nothing."
"I can sense it, Almos. So, tell me, what is it?"
"Nothing important."
Silence.
I decided not to force him. "Alright, have a sit first. And my neck hurts from looking at you from my position."
"Are you serious?"
"Of what?"
"Don't ask me a question because you knew what I mean."
I intently look at him. 'Will you stay even for just a while?' I silently asked and I know he heard it loud and clear. Hoping he'll stay.
