DEMIGOD: DAWN OF TIME

AFRAID?

'what?' I thought.

"Apparently, the outcoast is the only dimension in the whole of mystic world where is silent and invisible to the world itself"

"That means no one can find it or see it unless we create a direct link towards the outer world and let them in ourselves" she explained as I sighed knowing that at least I was safe.

"But how did they...." I muttered, referring to him.

And luckily, she understood "Oh them? Yes we have known his Highness Prince Remiel even before he was born, the crystal coven brought him here themselves, so many times while he was growing up"

"He is more of like family to us, if he were to visit the outcoast now the priestess would be the happiest to see him, we all haven't set eyes on him ever since he disappeared"

Amelia sighed for a second and continued
"And so, from him, his people like the twins got to know about the outcoast too"

Amelia sighed again as she stared at the moon while she said "sometimes I just wonder what the outer world looked like..."

"Why?" I asked her. She hasn't been outside the outcoast?

"Oh I have never been to the mystic world itself before, technically we witches are not allowed to move out of the outcoast, that's the law" she said.

"However, I want to apologize for all you have been facing.
But I promise you, it would soon be over.
As we speak, Prince Remiel and the twins are seeking answer" she smiled warmly at me.

"So in the meantime, you can stay here with us, with me...
And do not worry, we are not witches of sort who cast evil spells or turn humans into soup as you are thinking...." She laughed and even I found it hilarious.

"We don't do that, we work for the spiritual realm, so technically, we aren't witches, we just take the name because we are a bit similar to them"

"Also...., While you are here in the outcoast, I can show you how amazing and magical this place is!"

"You believe in fairytales?" She asked me and I nodded without doubt.
"Then I can show you everything you wish were real. That is if you won't be afraid?" She asked me.

Then I thought about it, should I be afraid...?
No, i don't want to be afraid.

So I nodded and almost immediately, she grinned widely "Wonderful! your energy is calm now I'm glad it is eased" she said and I finally noticed too. Indeed, she had eased my mind.

"And now that that's settled, you can sleep and tomorrow would be a bright day!
Goodnight Neera!" She said as she walked to the door and gently closed it. While I whispered "Goodnight Amelia..."

I fluttered my eyes opened as I blinked a couple of times....
The light was bright, I could tell it was morning...

And as I slowly got up on the bed, I yawned whilst staring around...
Realising I was in the outcoast, with a witch. I remembered all what happened yesternight.

I can't believe I said yes, but then I realized that what was there to be afraid of...
The twins and Remiel are about looking for the answer to the solution...
And it is certain even to myself that I can never be who they were expecting me to be...

And after, they would take me back to my world and I would forget all of these ever happened.

So before that time, maybe I should take opportunity of this time and explore this new magical world.

After all, Abel did say that I would forget everything as if I only had a dream once I left the world.

I didn't realize how slow I had just trailed that word....., And for some reason, my mind kept lingering on it...

Until I suddenly heard a noise outside, it was probably Amelia, I thought as I got down from the soft bed and walked towards the door.

And as I opened it gently, I walked outside and strolled towards the living room. But I expected to find Amelia there, instead I didn't.
I found no one in the living room.

Then who made that sound?

Then, In a flash a shadow passed by that caught my eyes making me take steps back immediately.

"Amelia?...." I slightly called out her name, not sure if she was the one as I was hoping for her to be.

But I got no response, with my eyes glued on that desk I walked a bit closer towards it as I began hearing little sounds coming behind the desk.

And as I paused, I took a deep breath before moving closer to the desk again.
And the more closer I got towards the desk, the more I could hear the sound....

I squinted my eyes as I reached my hand towards the desk, and just as I was about to touch the desk...

A big clash came behind it and the desk collapsed that jolted me while I immediately moved back. And in an instant, as the desk fell, what came to my sight was nothing to what I expected, but have me a big shock.

There!.....
