Pursuing the Truth

Dream? Nightmare?

Calvin woke up, just to find himself laying on the bed. Wait... Isn't I should be in library? How can I be laying here? What just happened?

Calvin rub his eyes, then stretched his body. For some reason, his head feel a bit empty-minded. Is this because of he just woke up? Nah, that's maybe it.

Getting down from his bed, Calvin walk out from his room, and take the staircase, before continue going through the corridor. The corridor that usually dark, now it got brighter. The sun's ray, pierce through the window. He even can't believed, what he saw right now. Especially, when passed the dining room.

His mother is cooking, while his long lost father is read the news paper. How it's possible!
Even his memory are a bit hazy, but it can't be true, right?

"Hey, son, what are you doing there? Come in, it's time to breakfast. " Said the guy, with a grey hair, and black coloured eyes. Smile warmly at him.
'Is it a dream?' he muttered to himself.  'Is this somekind of dream? What just happened?'

Calvin, nod a little, before entering the dining room, and take a seat beside his father.

"Father?" He call, still looking dumbfounded at what just happened right now.

"Yes, what is it, Son?"

"Shouldn't you in the Sir Barron head quarter right now?" He ask.
His father, is a dark knight, the captain of one's of army group. It's been a long time, since they didn't meet. A very long time.

"You could say so, Son. But, well, I taking some days off. Beside, your mother said about you finnaly came home, after some years. So why not?" Said that grey haired guy, rubbed Calvin's hair softly.

"I know, but... Nevermind. " He said, shaking his head, before continue,"I- I just glad, to see you finnaly home. That's all. "

"I'm glad too. I can finnaly meet my son again, after some years pass. So how's it going?" Ask thay guy again, Norman Harvey.

"Everything is okay. No need to worry here. "

"Breakfast ready. Let's eat first, then, we can continue talking in the living room. " Said Freyja, putting some plate that filled with sandwiches.

"Alright. "
After a long time, Calvin just found out, this kind of even turned out to be hard to believe. It's not because he didn't want to reunite with his family again. But, he can shake off the sudden weird feeling, he had from he woke up, untill now.

Calvin, chews the sandwich, while looking around him. Everything's just like before. It's all like his childhood memories. Is this just his imagination? Or, did he dreaming right now?

Calvin sigh a little, before pinched his arm. It's hurt! So it is real? So it wasn't a dream? So his family is really return back to normal? Thanks God.

He didn't know, just how happy is him right now. Untill some years living in the cruelity outside world, finnaly he can came back to where he belong to. He can come back to his home. At least he is safe here. And he didn't need to stay all on guard. Because it's his home, his long lost home that already returned.

Is it really the best for him?
Of course it is!
Is it really the best for everything?
Wait... Why now doubt haunt me?
Then why his heart is ached right now?
Why there's still something that made him feel not safe?
Something that make him feel insecured?
And is there something important, that he already forgot?

Calvin shaked his head again. It's real. It's not some kind of mistake, or some kind of magic. It's the real deal. He conviced himself. Even some part of him, still protested.

After breakfast, Calvin choose to explore his home. It's been a long time, he never set a foot in there. Maybe there's some nostalgic memories that he will remember. Well, who knows?

He climb the staircase that reach to another corridor of his bedrooms. Therr's nothing weird, except there's some room here. He didn't remember that there is some room here. Curiously, he prefer to take a peek inside. It is okay right? Beside it's his home.

Calvin open the first door, quietly as possible. And what he saw back there, make him surprised.

"Wait... You... aren't you are me?" Calvin ask a bit dumbfounded, seeing a guy that really similar to him. Except the black raven hair, and black eyes.

"Yes, I am You. You can't possibly forgot right, Calvin?" Said the guy.

"Nah, of course not. But, isn't this impossible? I mean, we are one from the beggining. And you're part of my memories, so how could you be in there?" Ask Calvin, more confused.

"Well... I don't know either. When I woke up, I already here. And I can't get out from this place. " that guy said.

"You can't get out? How so?"

"I don't know. Maybe that witch bound me with some spell. But, I really don't know. " Said the guy again.

Calvin stared at his own reflection. He isn't used to talk to another of him. Especially, face to face like this. It's too weird.

"Calv, hey, Earth to Calvin. Are you still here?" Ask that guy again, Leon Wesley, his gentle and easygoing personalities.

"Yeah, I am here. "

"Great! You can help me, can't you?"

"But, what should I do? I don't know how to help you. " Shrugged Calvin.

"Don't worry. You just need to cut this chain by your knife. Easy right?"

"Alright... Wait, my knifes are gone. And also the other of my weapon," panicked Calvin, checking his pocket and his bag. It's all empty.

"Wait? What?! How can it happen? You did't take it out or drop it somewhere did you?" Ask Leon.

"Of course not. You know me. But how can all the weapon dissapear? But, well, I can think later, I just change this piece of wood to a knife and help you out first. ' said Calvin, then start concentrating his aura, enveloping the wood to reshape it into a piece of knife but... It's didn't change it shape. It's still the piece of wood. How can it happened?

"Calv, stop playing around. It isn't funny. " Said Leon.

"Who's playing? I am trying but, it still the wood. It shape, it textures, and everything just a plain piece of wood. And I am serious. "Growled Calvin.

It's bad! He lost all his ability. His magic, his shapeshifter, his knowledge, and his memories. It's nightmare! It's the worst nightmare! How can it happen to him?
