Days have gone by, and Y/n is lying on his bed. His eyes are twitching, his vision is foggy, and worst of all, his room is still a mess, covered with books and scrolls. Y/n still remembers the details of his strange dream.

Every time the Raven Lady was there, chasing him, the poem kept repeating, her birds pinning him down and her finger reaching for his head. Yet, it all ends the same. He wakes up with a chill on his skin and sweat dripping all over his skin.

Torture by this never-ending nightmare Y/n called for his companion, the raven, but it was nowhere to be seen, not even when he tapped the stone. Without an answer, his mind is filled with fear when he looks at the box containing the crystal in his room.

To this day, he refuses to close his eyes, not wanting to see that again. His body refuses to listen to his mind and decides to close its eyes and enter a slumber.

Fearing to see the raven lady, Y/n positions himself to get a head start. However, in front of him is a blue mist shaping into someone familiar, High Seer Feliya.

The High Seer, without her eyes, can still feel the boy lost in waves of confusion and fear. She comes close to Y/N and hits him with a stick on the head.

Y/n: "Ouch... High Seer Feliya, forgive this young blood for his ignorance."

Feliya: "You sound like a goat on the butcher table."

Returning to his senses, Y/n was finally relaxed to find out this wasn't a dream. He feels normal for once after his encounter with the crystal, but the feeling is still crawling behind his back. His body was shivering, his eyes away from the High Seer, and his breathing uncontrollable.

Feliya: "I heard what Carmag said. "Strange isn't it? "

Y/n: "Yes... Do you have an answer for it?"

Feliya: "No, even some knowledge can't be answered."

Dead silence was the answer, his hopes crashing down all over him. Feliya, the all-knowing, is even questioning why the Crimson Guard has found these strange stones on the Isles and what they plan to do with this finding. Not only was that demon soldier among the ranks of the Crimson Guard number There is still time for answers and searching for them later. Now there is a goat that needs to be healed.

Young Y/n L/n, you've gone through many horrors of war. A dream scar you? "

Y/n: "You wouldn't understand. You aren't there to see it firsthand. " He shouted.

With a hit on the cheeks by Feliya, Y/n remembers whom he was talking to and changes his tone. Even at the toughest times, respect is required when talking to an elder, especially to High Seer Feliya.

Y/n: "Forgive this young one, High Seer. Fear has blinded this bird's eyes. " He bows.

Feliya pat Y/n head: "Fear is something we all feel when there is no answer to our questions. To beat it, calm yourself, and let the answer come to you instead. Rest now, my child. "

He needed to feel the warmth. Y/n closed his eyes as he returned to reality.

Waking up feeling lighter than ever. Y/n rises from his bed and cleans up his room. She is right; he has been thinking too much about it. Sure. It's OK to be worried if it affects your health. Then what good is the answer if no one witnesses it?

While cleaning his room, he looks at the sealed box and wonders, "Should he touch it again?" But that thought was stopped by a doorbell in front of his house.

Y/n: "Customer?" He walks downstairs.

In front of the door was Amity. Y/n wants some quiet time. Y/N hasn't done business for some time. She reluctantly has to serve her today. Putting on a fake smile, he greets her.
