Jake and Isa opened the door by a crack and both slipped in and closed the door. It was very quiet, like the whole house knew that the master was speaking with them and wanted to hear them.

"Isa, Jake. As you may know I am dying." The master said after a few moments.

"Yes.." they both said with bowed heads, sadly.

"Jake, I want you to stay and protect Isa"

"Yes, I will Austin." Master had given jake and Isa the ability to call him by his name.

"Isa, I want to give you this." He gestured to the house.

"Mast-Austin.. I can't. It's your pride and joy!" Isa exclaimed. It was very rare when a master gave one of his servants his land.

"Yes, that is why I'm giving it to you. Take my pride and joy. Make it what I couldn't." He weases.

"Y-yes Austin. I will" Isa was tearing up.

"Say what you wish. Isa light ringer. I wish my last moments here knowing you have freedom." He never said Isa's full name.

"Okay, Austin. I live you. You were like a father to me. I will miss you greatly."

"Hold on there Isa. I still have some time left." Austin chuckled.

"But, I- but"

"I know, I'm making sure that my home is in safe hands." Austin nodded at the now very emotional Isa and Jake.

The master dismissed jake and Isa, and they left the room.

"Isa! I forgot something!" Austin called out.

"Coming!" Isa walked back into his room while wondering why she was called back.

"Have your dream been continuing?" Austin whispered. Austin knew of the dreams because no one kept anything from him. Isa was silent for a moment while contemplating what to say.

"Yes, more vividly too" Isa said.

"Alright. Was it the same as last time?"

"Yes. Every single piece of it was the same."

"Okay. Has anything else happen?" Austin seemed to know what is going on. Like Isa was an open book.

".......yes."

"What? What else has happened?"

"While by the river I playfully hid from jake and while I was looking for a place to hide, I had saw a shadow. It was very strange so I kept staring at it.. he lit up and I could see him clearly.. it.. it was him. It was the man from my dream. He was saying something I couldn't hear."

"Hmmm.. this is.. interesting.. leave me." Austin dismissed her and started to jot notes in a notebook.

"Yes, sir" Isa walked out and looked up expecting to see jake.

Jake wasn't there, something was instead.
