While waiting for their next teacher to arrive, he decided to sleep. But, before his face could even touch the armrest of his chair, he heard a strange voice calling his name.

"Marc! Marc!" He looks around and search who's calling him, but everyone seems busy. He decided to search where the voice came from.

"Hey! Bro! Where are you going? We still have classed." Benj said but he pretends like he doesn't heard anything from him

"What's wrong with him?" Chinchin asks

"I don't know." Jelo retorted as he shrug his shoulder

He went downstairs, walks to the corridor; take a look in every room he passed until he reaches a place on which no one is around. Serenity kills his ears.

He felt like someone is hugging him: giving him a warmth embrace. He looks around to find who it is, instead he feel a cold air whispering on his ears.

"Don't fear me, I am your friend." The voice said

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" He asks as he rubs his shoulder and shakes his head

"I am who you are. I am your strength, I am your weaknesses and even I am your life."

"Woohhh! Don't insult me any more than you could really have. I'm not insane. Please stop fooling me around."

"Believe me, Marc."

"How could I'm going to believe you if I can't see you nor touch you? No one will listen and believe me also if I tell them that there's something within me." He said

"Can you recall to your mind, the voice that echoed on your mind when the time you were searching for your room and the voice that also echoed on your mind when time you were in front of the class answering a random of questions?" The voice said

"So, you are trying to say that it was you?" He asks wandering all the things on how it really happens

"Exactly, Marc."

"But why is it? Why is it me?"

"It is not the right time to tell you the exact reason why. For now, you are going to follow me."

"Where is it? I still have a class."

"Just follow me. I will show you something."

"What is it? Can you show it now? I'm running out of time. I still have class."

"Okay. Just close your eyes."

"What did you say? Why here? Can we do this in other place?"

"Just close your eyes and relax." It whispers and he felt like falling into deep slumber

"Good boy. I'm going to show you the past. Hahaha."

In a melancholy place, he saw a palace. A king sitting on his throne wearing a golden crown, holding a golden sceptre, clothed with a golden scarf. A queen sitting on the right side of the king, wearing a silver crown, holding silver sceptre and was clothed with a silver scarf.
