Thirty-Four:
Other Realm
For some reason, I wanted to visit the school. I don't know if I can find her but still I'm hoping to see her there.
"You've change." suddenly someone came unexpected.
"Sylvia, what are you doing here?" I surprisingly asked her because this is so rare that she suddenly came unexpected and it only means one thing.
"That look." She exclaimed.
"What look?"
"In love." she simply answered.
"What?!" I kind of lost of what she just said that made me laugh a little.
"You don't know it for now but I'm so sure, whoever that's on your mind, that person changes you a lot."
I didn't answer her because I don't believe on it. As an Angel, I am not supposed to feel love or have a romantic feeling to anyone. That includes Jeanne because it was just my duty to protect her in the realm of her dreams.

School Rooftop
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.
"Let me go." he ordered.
"I knew you heard what's on my mind." I answered. "So, will you please stay even for a while?" I voice it out and I hope he will agree to my plea.
It took him so long before he reacts. "Alright, but it's only for a while, okay?"
I widely smiles. "Thank you."
…
We just silently sitting on the floor at the rooftop and for a moment, I simply enjoy it even though it didn't take for almost twenty minutes.
"Are you done?" he suddenly breaks the silence.
"Yup."
"Then, let me go."
"How important is it to you to return to your realm?" I seriously asked.
"I'm the Guardian of Dreams, what do you expect me to answer?"
I deeply sighed. "Alright!" I said and smiled. "You can go now."
…
"That's quick." Suddenly someone came.
"He has his duty to protect each dreams and I cannot stop him for my selfish desire to be with him." I honestly answered.
"Well, you were right." she agreed. "And right now, he was looking for me."
I look at Ilmatar. "I'm confused Ilmatar. Why do I have to travel in dreams? And why are the dark creatures chasing me, what do they really need? My spirit? What does my spirit have? Can you please explain it so that I know what I'm facing of?"
"I understand why you have so many questions that you want an answer. But I'm so sorry I can't help you because I can't mess with what's destined for you."
Silence.
I harshly breathed. "I'll soon understand everything."
"Yes, you will."

Dream World
"You finally went to school!" Dione happily said as soon as I entered our room.
"Well…" I shrugged as I sit down.
"So, what happened to you?" she curiously asked. "Because when I visited you at your house, I didn't see you because your mom said you fell asleep after taking your medicine. So, what caused your illness?"
'So, that's what happened to me in this world.' I said to myself. Well it's a good excuse yet the truth I really don't have any idea how things happening here in my dream world when I'm not present. My house and my family, I still don't even meet them. Now I'm beginning to get curious and I want to see it with my own eyes.
"Hey!" Dione waved her hand in front of me. "I think you're still not okay."
"No, I'm fine." I answered. "Anyway, how about Almos? Did he go to school when I'm absent?"
"He isn't."
"What?!"
"Yes. He still absent but I think not today." she said while looking outside our room that made me curious and look at where she's looking.
'Almos.' I called him since I knew he can hear my mind.
He stops but never stares at my direction and then, he suddenly turned around and went back from where he came from.
"No!" I quickly stand up as soon as I understand what he wanted to do.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Dione holds my shoulder that stops me.
"Oh, sorry, I have to talk to him." I answered and quickly release my shoulder out from her hold.
…
"Almos!" I quickly run towards him as soon as I finally saw him.
"Stop!" he said as he turned around to face me.
"Are you mad?"
"No I'm not."
"Then, why are you trying to avoid me?"
"No, I'm not."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then, what was that? I knew you heard me when I called your name."
"Yes, I heard it loud and clear."
"Then why?" I got a little bit annoy after hearing his answer. "Hice algo mal?"
"No, you didn't do wrong."
"Then why?"
"I can't explain it."
"Tell me whatever it is. I'll try my best to understand it."
Silence and it really took him longer enough to make me feel awkward.
"I'm sorry, I can't. You should just go back to you waking days and don't ever try to call me again in your own world." He said and left me so quick I was about to follow him when someone stops me.
"Asim! What do you think you're doing? Let me pass through."
"Let him go, Jeanne."
"But--"
"You have to wake up now." my eyes widen after hearing what he just said. "We don't have much time, darkness will soon come."
"Again."
"They're too persistent to take you and that's why Almos needs to be more alert than before, because we never know when and where darkness will strike just to have you."
…
Other Realm
"How long will you be silent?"
I stare at him. "Is she finally awake?"
"Yes, that's why you have nothing to worry about."
Silence.
"I have to leave."
"Don't be confused." Asim suddenly answered.
"What?"
He smiled. "Nothing." He answered before he left and for some reason he's hiding something from me.
