Point of View of Sasha White
Leo… Keyt… Where are you?
They were my last words before waking up to the surprising noise I heard outside my room.
Huh? What happened? I thought, a little scared, as my eyes adjusted to the daylight.
Stepping outside, the cold wind blowing over the mountains woke me up completely. It was then that I realized the loud noise from earlier had been caused by my clumsy sister, Heliz, who was crouched over the white snow, trying to pick up a couple of pots, ladles, and other things scattered across the floor of our kitchen.
"What were you trying this time?" I asked, in a slightly annoyed tone. "I-I was just practicing a wind spell, b-but it got out of control and went straight to the kitchen." Heliz replied, embarrassed, looking at me with her sky-blue eyes.
Looking around, I saw that Mom wasn't there, so I assumed she had already left with the Sharkis. "Be grateful that Mom isn't back yet, so hurry up and clean up this mess." I said, pointing at all the scattered items.
Nodding, Heliz quickly began picking up everything she had dropped, allowing me to walk away without worries toward the edge of the barrier surrounding our home.
I think it's been about 26 years since I arrived in this world, and even so, this view still amazes and calms me. I said to myself, gazing at the snowy mountains around us.
It's true, if Mom isn't here, it means she's probably on her way back with Dad. I thought, scanning the mountains for any sign of Mom.
After a while, I spotted her far off, on a mountain to the south, and by enhancing my vision with mana, I saw she was returning with Dad and all the Sharkis.
The Sharkis were animals similar to yaks that my family had been raising in the mountains since before I was born, giving me a childhood in a farm-like environment. But this was in a mostly snowy climate.
Luckily, thanks to the mana in this world, I could create something called a "mana layer," which shielded me from the intense cold and also protected against the strong winds that were common outside the barrier of our home.
Turning back toward my house, I saw that Ally, my older sister, still hadn't come out of her room.
She's so lazy…. I thought, before remembering that I had also been asleep until just a little while ago.
In my family, there were five of us: my parents, my two sisters, and me. All of us shared similar physical features: white hair, fair skin, sky-blue eyes, and pointed ears.
I remember when I first arrived in this world, it shocked me a lot. But as the months passed, I gradually got used to it.
My house, so to speak, consisted of six small buildings, separated by the snow that covered the mountain during this time of year.
Returning to the kitchen, which was an almost entirely open space, I saw that Heliz had already finished cleaning up the mess she had made.
I wonder where that little troublemaker has gone now. I thought, before preparing myself a hot drink.
…
By the afternoon, Mom and Dad had finally arrived, bringing us all together for a pleasant family moment that reminded me once again of my previous family.
I know it's not very grateful of me, but… this whole atmosphere makes me wonder if Leo and Kayt are already in this world. Because if they are, I'd like to meet them again, even though I now have another family. I thought, watching my long-lived family eating and laughing at some stories Dad was telling about his trip to the village.
I'd like to tell them that I'm okay, that I'm happy… and that I love them… Leo… and Kayt…

Point of View of Leonardo White
(Part of the novel: Who am I?)
"With everything clarified, I remind you one last time that everything will depend on your safety and your courage." Said that radiant man, resembling a god, before moving us through the dark space with a motion of his left arm, to the new land where my Sasha, my little sister, was.
Wait for me, Sasha. I swear I'll find you. I told myself, exchanging glances with Kayt, before holding each other's hands tightly and watching as we approached a planet similar to Earth.
I swear I'll protect you both in this new world, and I'll do it no matter what it takes.
Joshua_Goose: Thank you so much for reading up to this point. As you may have noticed, Leonardo's (Leo's) story is separate from Drake's, but it takes place in the same world and timeline. So maybe they'll cross paths in the future. This story will be titled: "Who am I?" It's set to release on December 30th. (It'll be awesome :b)
With this special chapter, I say goodbye to you all—at least for this year (bad joke)—as I'll be releasing Volume 2 of "From Man to a God" on January 9th. So stay tuned!
Without further ado, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones and achieve your goals for the upcoming year :3
"Good luck!"
