A Lifetime Is Not Enough (One Direction)

Prologue

"Hello."

I suddenly woke up, not knowing how long I've been asleep or whether I was even sleeping at all.

I thought I heard a voice, or was I just dreaming?

I sat up slowly, my fingers touching the soft grass beside me. I could hear water running, as if from a small stream nearby. I breathed in, smelling the fragrance of flowers and the slightest scent of honey.

Wait.

Grass? Stream? Flowers? Honey?
What happened to my bed, my fluffy pillows and that stinky pillow cover I had since I was 1?

This, is definitely, a dream.

"Hello."

My ears suddenly pricked up. It was an eerie, dreamy voice saying Hello. I swore it felt almost real, as if I was truly awake and heard it there and then.

Must be dreaming. Must be dreaming. Ignore. Ignore.

"Hello."

The sound came from behind me.

I immediately whipped my head back, curious to see whoever or whatever had spoken, not to mention my eyes squinting from the painfully bright light that shone.

"Hello. I am the Third Guardian. And you are in the Realm of Between."

The light finally died, and I could see a man, not quite old but not too young.

He had Chinese features, with long black hair that reached his waist, fair skin and single-eyelided eyes with irises that were a swirl of black, midnight blue and pearl white.

He wore a long, ancient-looking robe and held an elegant wooden staff in his right hand. And he spoke again,

"Welcome to the Realm of Between. I am the Third Guardian. And you are not quite dead."
