Forty-Nine:
Aylin Realm
The place where the Gods and Goddesses of the moon resides and right now Almos can be seen unconscious lying in a white silk bed. He doesn't know he was brought here by one of the Goddess of the moon and she's waiting for him to regain his consciousness.
"Why did you bring him here, Goddess Dione?"
Goddess Dione known as 'the best friend' of Jeanne in her Dream World, and no one knows not even Goddess Ilmatar who she is because of the seal given to her by the God of Destiny. She was chosen to protect the two lovers to fulfill the rightful destiny that awaits Almos and Jeanne from the very beginning. A destiny not even the creator knows what it is since the events happened from the past changes the future a lot.
"There's nothing I can do he will destroy the Dream Realms if I haven't stop him from exploding, God Rakesh."
God Rakesh, one of the Knights of Moon that protects the entire Gods and Goddesses of the Moon. He's the closest friend of Goddess Dione and knows everything about Almos and Jeanne's story of their past.
"And do you think he wouldn't do it here?"
A smile formed from Dione's face before turning her head at him. "And do you think you couldn't handle him, Moon Knight Rakesh…"
"Huh! Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm just saying…" she answered. "Although… he can still use the weapons and powers of his former self so, I don't think you can handle him that fast."
"God Elbrus and I have the same level of fighting skills and if you were telling the truth, then, that would be the best thing on my part. It's been a long time since I've had a sparring partner in a fight so it's a good exercise for me to face him again."
"You are too excited didn't you know that."
"You couldn't blame, it's been eons ever since I saw him."
"Well, I know what you feel but right now that isn't the right thing to think we have a bigger problem that we need to face."
"Azazel."
"Yes, the Fallen Angel Azazel."
"He became stronger than before."
"Indeed. And I don't know if Almos and the others were enough to face him."
"If the Special Spirit will only give in..."
"Do you mean you're not against of her as a sacrifice?"
"To begin with, Father created the Special Spirit for that purpose."
"And that was the thing that God Elbrus wanted to prevent."
"And see what the outcome is."
Silence.
Dione breaks it with a heavy sigh. "What can we do to help them?"
"We cannot help them, and you know the reason why."
"I know, still…" her words just cut off for the knowledge she knew so well, the reason why they couldn't help them.
"Just continue to be their guide and that's the only reason why you were sent to be by their side."

"This is…" Asim just heavily sighed as he stares around the whole place and still couldn't believe it happened so sudden. "Can you do something about it?"
Ilmatar shakes her head before she replied. "Only Almos can fix this place."
"Then, where is he?"
"It was the same question I have in mind."
"And you don't have a clue, right?" he replied as a fact.
"Indeed."
"Then, it must be done by a God or a Goddess, the reason why you couldn't foresee it."
She takes a deep breath. "You're right, and whoever that was they knew about Almos." She seriously said.
"You mean him as the former God?" Ilmatar just nodded as an answer. "Then, we need to meet them. Because right now, I am so sure, whoever they are, they were near to the Special Spirit."

Aylin Realm
'Am I dreaming?' I asked when my eyes slowly opened and see that I'm in a different place yet, familiar to my sight.
"You're not dreaming." Suddenly a familiar voice speaks to me. "You're finally awake, Almos."
I turned my head slightly on my left and saw a woman that I know. "Di-Dione?"
She smiles at me. "Welcome back."
"Wh-where am I?"
"Aylin Realm."
Hearing the name where I'm in, I actually stand up but to my dismay I was caught of guard when my head suddenly spined that turns me back down at the bed.
"Don't force yourself too much, you don't know how much power you'd released in your own realm."
"Wh--" I'm breathless as I try to calm myself from the sudden dizziness that I just felt.
Suddenly Dione's hand place up to my head and before I could react, she just casted a spell that made me feel at ease and I finally fine afterwards.
"What did you do?" I surprisingly asked.
"Easing your pain…" She simply answered as she walks back.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Dione."
"I know, but who you really are?" with so much confusion I directly asked though I do have some guts about who she is.
She giggles a little that surprised me. "You already knew who am I, Almos. An idea maybe… but, you knew it when I told you where we are. Am I right?"
"No! You're… Jeanne's best friend!"
"Indeed, I am."
"Then, are you using her?"
"Me? No, of course not!" she denied it quickly and honestly. "I'm just guiding and protecting her as what I promised from the God of Destiny. And to tell you the truth, at first, I thought of it as my duty but after knowing her it became a responsible as her real friend. I honestly and sincerely became her friend."
"To point of lying to her by hiding who you really are." I said as a fact.
"That's a given fact. Besides, it's for her, own good. Keeping the truth will save her yet not too long."
"What?"
"Eventually, Azazel already put a crack through her past and any moment now, she'll find the truth."
