Forty-One:


Leebra Realm


Days ago...


"You are... Aoife."


A woman came in front of me and when I look up to her I see a Goddess; she's shines brightly and her beauty transcend to unimaginable features. I couldn't even imagine how I look in front of her, I feel like I was totally erased in front of her.


She smiles at me before she speaks again. "I'm Goddess Ilmatar."


'Why would a Goddess suddenly come to me?' I silently asked.


"You knew God Elbrus, the one who blessed you, right?"


"God Elbrus..." I finally found my voice after hearing Elbrus name.


"Indeed, he is."


"Why are you asking me about him?" I curiously asked.


"Because of what he did," I just keep looking at her since I don't understand what was she's talking about. "You are a Special Spirit, a one of a kind. And giving you a blessing will only lead you to a disaster. Pain is one of those disasters that will eventually eat you out as soon as your feelings and emotions begin to bloom."


'I don't know what she's talking yet hearing it from a Goddess seems so real and I couldn't just ignore it.'


"I know right now you wouldn't understand but you will soon enough." She said her final words before vanishing into the thin air.


What she said tattoo in my mind and I cannot longer take it off and as the result, when I finally see my reflection through the water inside the Leebra Realm. I couldn't take my eyes of myself and the longer I stare on it, something inside me getting bigger and bigger.


In a state I can no longer ignore, the fact of feeling the pain is now make sense.

One Week Later


I open my eyes only to meet the white ceiling. I don't know where I am because I knew this isn't my room, then where am I?


"Jeanne!" I suddenly heard my mom's voice that made me stares at her.


"Mom?"


"Oh, God! You're finally awake!" she happily announced that I couldn't understand why, what is going on. "I'll go call the doctor." She said and left me hanging with questions written to my face.


...


Finally, I understand it all. After I screamed when I woke up, I fall into unconscious and it lasted a week before I woke up from my coma.
