Oh crap. I forgot about school today. I should really go.

"Ae-ya.. I have school today ...."

She was disappointed. I knew it.

"Don't you know it yet?" She asked.

"Know what?"

"Don't mind about school. Everything won't be lost. Don't worry."

"What do you mean?"

The expression of her face changed. I can stii see the worried face again. She stood up, opened the door, looked outside, and I followed her. The whole place's a mess. There are people crying, crying for help.

"How can I help them?" I asked.

She looked at me, and smiled.

"Would you take the challenge, If I say that you're going to fight the owners of the swords?"

"Fight? As is .. fight, using the sword?" I asked.

"That's the purpose of training you everynight years ago."

"The it's not a dream after all !!" I shouted.

"Yes, it's not. And starting from today," in aminute she was holding the sword now, "you will have your training. " She offered the sword and I took it. It seemed light now, though years ago I was having a hard time to lift it up.

Ae-ya told me everything. About the time, the training, the fight, the day, the night. I'll stay here for a few months. Everything won't be lost, anyway. After a month here, when I go back to my house, it's still he same as how I left it. No second is lost. And after that i'll go to school, as what i am supposed to do.

Ae-ya took me in a room with just a bed and a cabin in it. She gave me a robe like what they're wearing. She left me for a while then I sat on the bed, refreshing my brain, thinking all the talking that happened. Idk, if  this dimension really exists. I really think i'm still dreaming. Ae-ya told me everything but there's a doubt in my mind. I can't fully understand these things.

 I started to lie down, facing the ceiling, when I heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door I saw a boy, looking sleepy, with his eyes half- closed. I got nervous, 'cause he fought with me remember !! He might just attack me behind my back !!

I stepped backward and stared at him.

"What?? I'm not ready to fight !" I said.

He smiled sarcastically, "Ae-ya's calling for you. Food's ready."

Huh?? They have food there? What do they eat?

.I followed him pass through another door. There's a long table. It was a big room. There are other people too, cooking. I smelled something leafy.

"Sit down Kate," Ae-ya said, putting a bowl in the table.

I sat down, smelled the food, and somehow i doubt eating it.

It's a soup, with vegetables i don't know. But I can tell they're vegetables. I looked at Ae-ya, and I n oticed everyone was looking at me, except the boy. 

Ae-ya laughed a little, "It's edible Kate, that's what we eat here," she said, smiling.

I started to taste it and .. it tastes good. Like my mom's cooking. 

After eating I went back to the room and laid down again, and fell asleep.

I woke up and it took me 2 minutes to realize that i am in Ae-ya's place. I noticed the silence. I went out the room, it was night already. It was a little cold. I opened the door to go outiside when I saw the boy (whose name is Ka-ai, maybe). He was sitting at the door step.

I sat beside him, and he remained silent.

.................

"Is it always this cold everynight here?" I asked, to break the silnce.

"Yes."

Psh, he spoke too cold. 

I started to feel colder so I stood up and prepared to go inside when I felt something at my back.

Ka-ai, he's pointing his sword at my back.
