Almos

Family

Fifty-Seven:

Gyles Residence

"You are the Goddess that he mentioned?" I asked even though I'm so sure she is the one Almos talking about.

"Yes, she is." It was Dione who answered and seeing her, surprised me, why she's here on Earth... in my waking life? I don't know what is going on right now.

"Dione? What are you doing here?" I asked.

She smiles at me. "First, I'm so sorry, Jeanne. I have a secret that I didn't tell you and this is it, you saw me here."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm a Goddess, I will explain as soon as Almos knows the truth. So, I think this is the right time for you to confess the truth, Ilmatar before---" she was instantly stopped when the Earth begins to crumble and before we can react or say a word, someone came out of the blue.

"God of Time, what are you doing here?" Ilmatar surprisingly asked when it came unexpected.

"I'm sorry to disturb your conversations but I need to bring you all to Erix Realm."

"What! Why?" Ilmatar surprisingly asked.

"I can no longer move the time that we stop, Ilmatar." Everyone in the room is puzzles from what he just said. "It was Azazel's doing. He already plotted everything before the Special Spirit reincarnation. And stopping the time is what he was planning to do from the very beginning and no knows until today."

"Can you explain it clearly?" I asked even though I want to hear Dione and Ilmatar's explanation I'll pass on it because there's something more important right now and whoever this God of Time, he's in a hurry to tell us to leave Earth.

"The reason of you being into coma was Azazel's plan and it's all because of one reason. He wanted to destroy the entire human race and doing it. He will open the gates of Hell and right now as the time stop, the portals that was open is already three and soon the six left doors will open any moment. That means, even the Erix Yami Realm will be open and all the Fallen and their right-hand Demons will emerge out of the Earth. Not even the God of Hell could prevent it. It was a well-planned by Azazel and his right-hand Bellinor together with his Demon Army. And no one expected it not even the Goddess of Vision."

Hearing what he said made me think of my family.

"No! My family!" I quickly turned my head to Almos and plead. "Almos, I have to go to see my family."

"You cannot." The God of Time answered.

"And why is that?"

"We don't have much time because he already controls the time, which is why we really need to go."

"No!" I refused straightforward.

"I know what you feel, but right now--"

"No, Chaddy, help me. I need to see my family."

"They are safe, Jeanne." It was Dione who answered. "You have nothing to worry about."

"I'll be fine if I see it with my own eyes. So please, let me go."

"I'll accompany her." It was Chadd and for some reason there is something wrong with him but this isn't the right time to ask about it so, I just let it pass and focus on one thing.

"You can't, A--"

"I'll be fine as long as we won't be notice." He cuts off Dione as if he was hiding something. "Besides, I also have my own family living here and I want them to be safe. And if the God of Time telling the truth, then, we need to hurry."

Fabbri Residence

Without further conversation, me, Chadd, Dione and Almos went straight to my house and I'm so glad that I saw my family safe with a barrier that was put around the house and also to each of my family. They were all lying in their beds, sleeping as they dream of their lives continues normally. Seeing it with my own eyes, I feel at ease and also before we went here, Chadd makes sure that his family is safe and same as my family, they're also in dream.

"Now, we have to go." Dione announced.

"Wait!" I said and look at Dione. "Are we going to bring Chaddy with us?"

She smiles. "I think you should also know one thing first." She said and looks at Chadd so seriously. "Am I or you will?" he asked him.

"I will." He answered and stares at me. "I'm Chadd as a human but now that I am fully awake, I'm now Asim, the Fallen Angel that you've met in your dream world."

Surprised, surprised. Things are getting complicated and I don't know what else to think. How is it possible?

"No! I can't take it anymore!"

"I can explain myself later, right now..." suddenly the Earth shakes and it became too strong my house suddenly vanished into thin air.

"No! My family!" I was about to run towards it but Almos stop me before I step out of the barrier that the God of Time given us to make sure that Azazel or Bellinor nor his army will sense us.

"You can't go!" he said. "Or else, they'll catch you."

"But--"

"You have nothing to worry about," it was Dione. "They were just hidden from the darkness."

"Then, how about the others?" I worriedly asked as fear embrace me.

"The entire Guardian Angels were already here to protect them, so you don't have to worry. Right now, we should go. Asim," she commanded him and before I could react or say a word, Asim suddenly grew wings from his back and without a warning. Almos lift me up as we flew up and because of the sudden rush of wind I can no longer see the path that we're going through.

"Just close your eyes, Jeanne. For a short moment will be there at Erix Realm." I heard Almos whispered that I silently listen since I can no longer move.
