“Just, where am I?” asked Zeddra.
She was floating in pure whiteness. It was like heaven- she thought. But, when a guardian dies, it was still unknown on where they go. So, it was assumed that when a guardian dies, they become one with nature in Spherea- like reincarnation from guardian to a butterfly. While she was walking, she saw a discriminatingly huge television screen. Then, on that screen, replayed her memories. This what the TV flashed:
In the Queen’s Kingdom, Angel’s paradise
“Hey, Sira, what’s going to happen if I’m going to die someday soon?”
She held his hand as she replied:
“Xen, what are you talking about?”
“Even guardians have their limitations you know. That can’t be helped.”
“That may be true bu—“
“Listen to me. If I… die, don’t come to hate everything okay?”
There was silence.
“But… you know I don’t have anyone but you Xen. My mom passed away. I have no siblings. You’re… everything.”
“Zeddra, do you know why I nicknamed you as “Sira”?
“Why?”
“It’s because I only nickname someone whom I love the most.”
“Xen, if you were made to choose between me and the world to save, who and what would it be?”
“None. I would sacrifice myself instead.”
“Why is it that you sacrifice everything you have? I know you. Even if you know there is no reward in doing something, you still do it. Why do you sacrifice?
“Again, because I love the world. The reason why I sacrifice is because of love.”
“Xen, what is love? I mean, I’ve searched for a lot of things and I even get to see through. It’s just that… I’m a scientist but still… I don’t understand the theory of love. Where does it come from?”
“Sira, there are no theories of love. It just comes when you least expect it. Hehe. Though, youths misunderstand love as something that they can get through material things. They think that even at a young age, they already know what it is all about but their wrong. You can only say that you love someone are something if you could shed blood for it- that you can die for its sake. Sira, love isn’t found in science. It has no theories. It is the most mysterious thing in this universe. You know, you may wake up one day never realizing that it already entered your life. You may never realize that your body is moving on your own for love’s sake.”
“Something… not in science? Huh. That’s weird.”
“Sira, not all is found through science. Science is only made up of theories but love is made up of mysteries. Do you even know what I pray for when I breathe my last breath?”
