Forty-Five:
Church; Dream World
"Please tell me the truth, Ilmatar! Who am I?" I asked for the last time but before she could answer her facial expression suddenly changes.
She became anxious and her eyes widen in surprise. Even without her telling me what's going on, I know it's something important.
"We have to go!" she hurriedly said.
"To where?"
"To the ancient time."
...
Ancient Time
'What am I doing here? How can I leave this place?' I asked as Fe continues her life while I begin to feel weak, draining my last sanity as time passes by. I don't know it anymore, if I am the real Fe or I'm Jeanne of my present day, I begin to confuse of who I really am.
'Get a hold of yourself, Miss Jeanne.' Suddenly an unfamiliar voice speaks to me.
'How?' I just asked anyway since I'm losing myself in this state.
'I'm just showing you the life that you experienced before you reincarnated as Jeanne.'
The words that this voice said caught my attention and for some reason, I entered into this place that seems to like in between, and there he was standing in front of me. 'Who are you?' I asked as my heart grips and my hands begin to shake when I finally saw his face.
His lips formed a formidable smile that scared me deep down to my soul. And the longer I stay here with him, the greater danger I'll be facing. However, I couldn't move my body out of this place as if he controls me which I cannot escape from his grasp.
'Breathe my Lady.' He spoke. 'Or you won't be able to stay here longer... alive.'
What he said scared me to death, it frozen my whole being and I can no longer think clear as my heart races much faster I can no longer breathe normally.
'Jeanne!' someone grabs me away from this mysterious man and we flew back before shaking me out of my shock.
'We need to take her out of this space.' It was Ilmatar, I know it was clear in my ears that it was Ilmatar and then the one who grabs me is no other than... 'Take her out now Almos.' She finally said his name and I couldn't explain how much I miss him but despite it all, I cannot move or say a word and all I can do is just to move my eyes and watch them as they trying to save me.
'That is impossible Goddess Ilmatar.'
The two of them became alert as the mysterious man gradually walks towards us.
'It's you. Azazel.'
Azazel, who is he? I wanted to speak out but my mind froze in cold I can no longer think straight.
Azazel smiles at her. 'How long it was been since I saw you? Ah, I can no longer count.'
'What did you do to her?' Almos angrily asked him.
'I just showed her the past, though I never thought that it was just a fragment of memories that was left behind. Pieces I cannot collect and the only thing that can help her to recall it entirely is let her live the life of Lady Fe.'
'By doing that, her life will be in danger.' Ilmatar answered.
'That will be a problem. Though, it only means I can easily take her Spirit since that it is my only goal in the first—ahh!' he suddenly screamed in pain and from my blurred eyes, I witnessed how Almos attacked Azazel with his divine sword.
I don't know where did he get that or how did he manage to obtain such a divine sword however it helps us to cut off Azazel. Just as the battle begins, my whole being couldn't take it any longer to stay conscious. I totally block out; I see nothing but a total darkness.

Erix Yami Realm
The place of total darkness also known as... 'The Place of the Demons'.
With a sharp fall, Azazel, one of the Fallen Angel who rebels against the God's will, came back to Erix Yami badly wounded. He didn't expect the outcome of what he did just to restore Jeanne's memories and her powers. That made him furious, even the ground shakes tremendously, rocks from the mountains begins to fall, flames burst out uncontrollably and the sinners which present of their own punishments begins to cry harder than their usually does. Their cries echoed all throughout the Erix Yami Realm that will scares all the souls in the Earth and it even reaches the Heaven's above reaching through the place of Erix Realm where Angels resides.
"Lord Azazel!" Bellinor came quickly to his side and tried his best to calm him before the Hell fall down to destruction.
It took him long before Azazel finally calm and he immediately give him the aid to his wound even though it will be harder to heal it since the wound was cause by the God's weapon.
"We need to do it now, Bellinor!" he firmly stated. "Before Ilmatar and Almos sealed my Special Spirit."
"Yes, my Lord."
His lips switch up to a smile as the thought of finally getting what he wanted the most.

Earth
Going back to my body isn't as easy as I wake up from my dreams. As soon as my consciousness back, a terrible cold embraces me. I just froze in cold and I could hardly see Almos face, however I knew he was intently looking at me and suddenly the coldness that embracing me slowly fading as if my body was put on fire, a fire that will not burn my body but the coldness that consumed me.
The heat finally dissolves the ice deep within me and finally I can freely breathe until I feel light and ease before I fall back to my sleep in peace, with the memory of the last words I heard from Almos saying.
"I'll always be here right by your side." He whispered.
