      Immediately after Tilda falls unconscious, Vivian and her team returned to the Land of Wind.
      It's been three days since this happened, and Tilda still hadn't woken up. Mean while, in Tilda's mind, she begins to revisit her past.
      After she found Ella in the spirit beast forest, she performed a memory spell on her. In Ella's mind, she first saw peace and tranquility, a royal family from the first realm, living happily, until a man payed them a visit.... The same man she saw killing people in the minds of the dead bodies. This man came because Ella's parents had committed the taboo, Marriage between a a light human and a dark human.
      In Ella's mind, Tilda saw the man battling with Ella's father, While Ella was hiding behind a cupboard. The man successfully killed her father, and was walking towards her. He was about to cast a flame spell, when a girl who looked exactly like Ella pushed his hands away, but unfortunately, the flames got to Ella's eyes, and then there was a blackout.
      In fear that these memories would traumatize Ella, Tilda, Vivian, Miss Stella, and Father Daniels performed a memory sealing spell on her, ensuring that she never remembers them.
      Tilda finally wakes up from her coma, to find Ella sleeping beside her. Instead of being happy to see Ella, she wears an expression of utter terror on her face. What she saw in the minds of those dead bodies, was something even Tilda, a powerful and respected bishop couldn't swallow. It was safe to say she saw danger coming.
      The next day, Ella woke up to find Tilda wild awake, apparently, she couldn't sleep after her blast from the past.
       "Mama!" Shouts Ella as she throws herself at Tilda.
       "Good morning dear" says Tilda she pulls her away in order to see her face, "how did you sleep?"
       "Forget about me mama, how are you, how are you feeling, are hungry?" Asks Ella with a worried look on her face.
       "Oh dear.. Mama is just fine, no need to worry so much" says Tilda.
     A second later, Vivian, Stella, and Father Daniels walk into the room.
      "Tillie, you had me super worried, how are you feeling?" Asks Vivian
       "Are you hungry?" Asks Stella "I brought some food, red egg sauce and tuber MUX"
       "I'm fine guys, no need to worry so much, I only fell unconscious" says Tilda
       "Yh, you fell unconscious for four whole days, a child would have thought you dead" says father
       "And why are you even here father?" Asks Tilda
       "W-we-well I was only concerned about a high brass member of the house of bishops, its not like I came because its you, I would have done the same for any other person" says Father Daniels as he begins to turn red.
       "Of course you would" says Vivian sarcastically with a smile on her face.
       Everybody begins to laugh loudly for a while, and then there was silence in the room
       "Ella dear" says Tilda
       "Yes mama" answers Ella
       "I think you should go home, I'd like to discuss with the adults" says Tilda.
       "Am I not an adult?" Says Ella folding her arms and pouting
       "Ehh, is not like you are a baby sha, but you're not an adult either" says Tilda.
       "Ahh, mama, but I used to do adult things na" says Ella still pouting.
        "Yes na, but this is different" says Tilda
        "Okay oo, I've heard" says Ella still pouting.
        "And I guess you don't want this food abi?, cause you did not answer me before" says Stella jokingly walking away.
        "I did not send you oo, better keep my food for me" says Tilda with a smile on her face.
        There is laughter in the room again , and then silence.
        "Alright mama, I'm living for the royal capital" says Ella.
        "Royal capital?" Asks Tilda confused, "why, what's happening there?"
        "Oh mama, we have a lot to talk about, anyways..... See ya" says Ella.
         There is silence yet again in the room, and then Vivian breaks it.
         "So Tillie, what happened , what did you see, and you better not hide anything" says Vivian strictly
        "For one, we know that only strong dark energy can put you out like that, so something must have really gone wrong" says Father Daniels
       Tilda begins to narrate everything that had happened, from what she saw in the minds of the two dead men, to the memories the had sealed in Ella's mind, to how Ella's life might be in danger.
        "Wow!" Says Stella
        "But what's up with Ella's twin?" Says Tilda
        The room went quiet again, for the fourth time, but this time, the only expression on everybody's face was confusion.
         "Why would Ella's twin be killing people in the process of looking for her" asks Father Daniels.
         "That's the biggest question" says Tilda
         "Ella must not know this" says Vivian.
         "Are you sure its not time to let her know?" Asks Stella.
      "That is out of the question" says Tilda strictly
      "Even at that Tilda, I've watched Ella grow, even though she cannit see, she always sees the things that are hidden, and the more she matures, the more that becomes a problem" says Father Daniels.
      "I know father, but blind or not, I'll hide this secret for as long as I can, and you all must do so too" says Tilda
      "I cannot promise that Tilda, a time will come when she would need to know and even though we don't pray for it, when you are not there, someone has to tell her" says Father Daniels.
      "I trust you would only tell her when necessary, the two of you, Vivian and Stella, must never speak" says Tilda.
      "No problem Tillie" says Vivian.
      "I had already forgotten about it until you brought it up, I'm probably going to forget again" says Stella.
       They all laugh and then there is silence again for the last time.
