Dragon Nest: Rivals

Sustaining Actuality

Bernael POV

I slowly open my eyes trying to adjust my vision from the light coming from the window. I sighed, sitting up on the bed until I noticed someone standing at the side.

My tears began to fall again when I saw the woman I love staring at me.

"Misha?" I called her, standing up from the bed. She walked towards me and held me in the cheek.

"Turtle, you really came for me." She said with a soft voice. I suddenly hugged her tight, sobbing nonstop because of the regret I am feeling and for the dream last night.

"Misha! You're alive! I'm glad you're alive... I'm sorry for everything. I didn't want to do it but... but I have my reasons. Please forgive me, witch." I said and I felt her hug tightened before she lets go.

"I forgive you, turtle. And I know you have a reason for doing it. I know you that much." She said and smiled sweetly at me. The smile I missed so much and her touch. I couldn't hold myself and leaned in to kiss her soft lips which she happily responded.

"I love you, Misha. I love you so much.." I sincerely said making her cry too.

"I love you too, Nael. Very very much.." she sniffed and looked at me with a smile.

My thoughts suddenly remembered about the dream last night. "I had a very bad dream last night... You.. died.." I said with a sad face but then I smiled after "But that is one of the nightmares, I guess.."

She looked away when I told her that but then her glance went back to me as she began to say these words.

"Turtle, always remember that I'll be here for you no matter what. I will support you in anything!" She then held me in the cheek with one hand "And please, never lose to what's been trying to control you. I believe in you, turtle. Please don't lose yourself on whatever is happening today."

I held her hand on my cheek and stare at her sky blue eyes. "I will, Misha." And there, I flashed her a smile.

"Promise me?"

"I promise." I softly said making her face softened.

"Good. Now I can rest in peace." She giggled making my brows furrowed at her words.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked but she just smiled sweetly at me saying the three words I love to hear so much from her.

"I love you, Bernael."

"I love you too, Misha." I replied until I noticed she began to fade. I panicked as I can feel my heart pounding again..

"Misha?" I called but she just smiled. "Misha.. no..."

In an instinct, I hugged her tight like I don't wanna lose her again. "Please Misha.. Is this one of your new spells?" I asked with a cracking voice.

"I love you and that will never change." She whispered until her voice faded.

I began to tremble when I felt that there was no one in my arms. I'm scared to open my eyes but I dared myself to do so..

And there, I saw no one else in the room except me... I looked down seeing my tears falling in the ground and screamed in agony.

"Misha!!" I instantly sat up on my bed, panting for air while looking around the same room. I quickly get up the bed and went to the bathroom calling her name but she wasn't there.

I then make my way downstairs and I smell something delicious. My face lit up and excitedly went to the kitchen.

"Misha!" I called but when I entered, it was Ouriel.
