SØNÏC

"Odd, are you free tomorrow evening?" My friend, Lesley asked and I nodded. "I saw an ad on Facebook and there's gonna be a new Art Museum open near our school and I wonder if you wanna join me."

I thought for a while and then nodded again. "Okay. I"ll get an extra ticket for you too." She giggled and then skipped away.

My name is Odette and I am studying at the Akatsuki Acedemy. I specialize in magic while my friend, Lesley, specialize in weaponry and her favourite weapon are guns, specifically snipers. She's cool with it and I'm pretty sure there're gonna be ancient snipers kind of things showing at the museum judging how she was very enthusiastic.

The next day...

I went to school as usual and entered my classroom and was greeted by a chair flying towards my direction. I quickly performed a spell and stopped it from kissing me. (Lol see what I did there?) Then I saw the usual scene: Harley and Mika fighting in the class. I tried to avoid the fight and walked to the safe zone of the room. Then, I could feel the dark aura radiating from the classroom door and there stood Lesley with her sniper looking like she was going to shoot any moment.

Harley immediately stopped the fight and probably shaking because he knew his sister could be as scary as Satan when she was angry. Harley quickly negotiated with Mika and Lesley left the room.

After school...

"Odd let's go!" Lesley called me and I followed her. Harley was joining us too. We took a taxi to the museum and then entered after showing our tickets.

Initially, I thought it would be crowded considering it's the grand opening but I couldn't see a single soul except the three of us. I looked around the museum and saw pretty interesting things. Lesley was literally drooling at the ancient snipers and admiring them. Harley went to a special room where they showed the hats. Well.. he's a fan of hats so yeah.

I walked further and there was a thing that caught my eyes. It was a sword..a beautiful sword decorated with gems and diamonds. It somehow seemed so familiar to me. And I swear I could hear it calling out to me to grab it. I couldn't resist the urge to grab the sword and I gave in. The sword shone brightly like the cliche drama things and I got transported to somewhere?

There was a lake and the surrounding looked like a garden, a real grand one. There were lots of colorful flowers and butterflies flying.

"Princess Odette, the warrior you had saved yesterday has awaken and he requests to speak to you." A guy with some sort of historical costume and a sword looking like a royal guard spoke to me with his head bowed. I decided to play along with him since I have no idea where I am.

"Lead the way," I ordered like a princess though I mentally cringed at the awkwardness. I followed him and finally reached a room. "He's waiting for you inside, your highness." He bowed again and I'm starting to feel bad about that.

The maids opened the door for me and I entered the room. There I saw a young man with long curly blonde hair which looked really weird to me. -.- As soon as I entered the room, the man spoke, "Are you the one who saved my life?"

"Y-yeah. I think so." It must sound weird. Great Odd. He's gonna think you're a fool.

He stepped forward and took my right hand and landed a kiss.

"Thank you princess. I owe you my life. How shall I repay? By the way, my name is Lancelot and I am a warrior from the Land of Dawn."

"I helped you out of my pure kindness so I don't see a reason to repay." I said in a princess tone. He chuckled, "Then I shall protect you from the harms so please allow me to serve as your bodyguard."

He bowed on one knee and grabbed something from his waist. He took out the sword which looked exactly like the one I saw at the museum.

"Will you accept my gratitude?" He held it in both hands. I took it and smiled. "Thank you...Lancelot."

As time passed by, we started to fall in love with each other. He would protect me everytime I was targeted by assassins or god knows who.

One year later, he offered a marriage proposal which I accepted. Then, I could feel a force pulling me away from him and there I was standing at the museum.

I looked around and then saw the sword in my hand. I could feel something flowed along my face. I put a hand on my face and realized I was crying. I realized I could never see Lancelot again. Even though it lasted only for a few moments, I really felt the true love. And maybe this would be the greatest visions I've ever had.
