Kleftis had missed Mama forever, and wished that she was still alive. This was her chance. But he had to be logical.

Mama was old, she would die again very soon, and be sent back here, on the other hand, Pulchritudo would be left in everlasting torment.

However, he loved Pulchritudo, and wanted her to be happy, and wanted her to live once again. But Mama would be left in agony. He couldn't make his decision.

"I don't want revenge, leave us all be." Kleftis begged

"I told you, the choice is mandatory." Was the Hood's rebuttal

"Being them both back to life, send me into eternal damnation."

"No. Here, I'll make it simple for you." The Hood said with a snap of his fingers

Once he did, Kleftis woke up in front of his castle, with no one by his side. Instead, he found a note on his right. He reached down with his left arm to grab it. He then remembered, he's in the real world once more, so he grabbed the note with his right.

The letter read:

Dear Kleftis, I want you to know, there's a guard coming after you. I would turn around right about......... now. God speed!

Kleftis did just that. He turned and saw a guard charging for him. Kleftis dashed for the nearest alley. Once he was there, he found a rock. He rotated again to as the guard coming for him.

Kleftis picked up the stone and chucked it right at the Guard's head. Bullseye. This knocked down the Guard. Kleftis sized him up and decided this was a perfect way to get into the castle. Kleftis walked to his foe, took the sword, and was about to stab the enemy through the throat.

"Wait. Don't, I'm on your side." Said the fallen..... woman?

The guard took off her helmet to reveal her face.

"Umbra?" Kleftis asked
