Chapter 17: Unbelieveable

Chapter 17: Unbelieveable

I hate the truth, it's painful

Eve.. Why the reason was Eve?

I can see through her heart.. It was pure to protect me.

She know the power that I have means danger and she willing to let her life taken away.

Still, her smile reminds me to someone.. Someone who has a kind smile but, surrounded by the desperating fate.

I wanted to talk to Eve.

But soon, it turns dark.. It's time for me to return.

I have got my reason, I have met Eve and got some informations. But, why I need to see all that?

After a pitch-black sight, now I can hear someone called my name.. Are they going to call me as Cely, again?

I don't want to.. I want to be myself, Azure.

"Azure...", yes..

"Azure.....", the sound is getting louder and louder.

"Azure.......!!!!", when I open my eyes, it was Cleaf. His cute face was looking at me. I can see my own face on his eyes because of the reflection. I was so ugly and Yumi is better than me.

I knew it. I'm jealous.

"Ughh..", I grunted to stand up.

"Where's Mr. George?", the first thing that I asked.

"He's going back.. I thought he'll talk to Sefarto.. Maybe", Arisa said.

"Eh? Where am I? Why you here, Arisa?", I turned my head to look after my environment. I was sitting on a chair. On my right side, Austin was sleeping. I am in a hospital.

"We bought you here soon after you came out from the Over Memories..", Sarasa answered.

"Austin alright?", he look so hurted.

"Where's Yumi?", I asked again and again.

"Eh..?", said all of them except me. They just realised, Yumi wasn't here with us.

"God damn!!", Cleaf shouted.

"I'll go with you, brother!", Sarasa holded Cleaf's shoulder.

"How can I forgot Yumi?", Arisa regreting.

"I'll go with ya", I stood up.

"No.. You stay here with Arisa to take care of Austin", Cleaf said.

"I trust Arisa, she is enough to protect Austin", I said. I don't know why, I trust her like I trust my power.

"......", both Sarasa and Cleaf's mouth are sealed. They have no comment.

"I'll tell my story later when we have time. Now, let's go!", I push both of Sarasa and Cleaf's back and we run off.

"Take care..", Arisa said. She smilled.

Yes.. Arisa's smile just look exactly like Eve's smile. Their smile are very kind. But, their fate were very desperating.

I wish that I can change her life to a better life. Nevermind, I have to save Yumi first.

Altough we already left the hospital, I still thinking about that hospital.

I think, I went there before..?

There are so many things that I haven't remember. I know that I have something to do with the Syerell Forest, that Stanto Hospital, Jyan School, Sacred land of the Sky Kingdom and...

The Earth.

"Hey,..", Sarasa shouted.

"Those trees are blocking our way to library!", Sarasa continued.

"I'll deal with it!", Cleaf said.

"The tree, behold the world's lungs, wondering why would you block our way? You shall... MOVE!!", Cleaf tried to move the tree.

But, nothing happen.

"What..?", Cleaf confused.

"OOOOOOOO....", a weird sound come from those trees.

I make a big step, ready for anything.. Cleaf was still looking at those trees.

"WHY.. WHY WOULD PLANT SLAYER LEND THEIR HAND TO THE SKY SLAYER? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT, CLEAF,.. CRANDE'S SON. WONDERING WITH HIS SISTER, SARASA, CRANDE'S DAUGHTER..?", the trees turned and we can see the face.

It's a living trees.

"My apologies, Hermound, the Tree God..", I said.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW ME? AND WHY YOU WONDERING WITH THE SKY POWER? I THOUGHT IT WAS A HISTORY THAT SKY SLAYER WAS ALIVE", one of the biggest tree said. His name is Hermound.

"It wasn't Sky slayer's fault!", I shouted.

"Azure!", Sarasa whispered to me.

"I wanted to help your kin.. That's all", I said.

"Your Highest, Hermound,..", Cleaf talked with a panicking face.

"YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE THE POWER OF NATURE! BE GONE!!", Hermound shouted.

Suddenly, a small plant grabbing Cleaf's feet.

"Brother!!", Sarasa shouted.

"Hermound!!", I shouted.

"HOW DARE YOU TO CALL ME LIKE THAT?! THIS GUY WILL DIE IN MY HAND IF YOU WON'T STAY AWAY!", Hermound replied.

"Azure! Please stop it!", Sarasa grabed my hand and took a look at me. She almost cried.

"A-Azure..", Cleaf said.

*Brakk!!*, Cleaf have fallen to the ground.

"B-BROTHERRR!!!", Sarasa shouted.
