THE TWILIGHT GODDESS

Chapter#5:DREAM

ORIANNA'S POV
I felt someone caress me. I awoke up to find myself in paradise.

"Wait, where am I?" What I remember is that a strong energy passed through me, and I lost consciousness.

Did I die? Thank god.

I was walking around when I noticed a castle that was far too large and has a color of black and white; what kind of kingdom is this?

I have read so many books about history, castles, and kingdoms, but I have never seen this one.

I was about to go to the castle, but someone called my name. I looked behind me and saw two women: the girl on the right is beautiful, has white skin, and is wearing a red dress; the girl beside her is also beautiful, and she is wearing a black dress, but she appears to be dangerous.

"Follow me, Orianna." To my surprise, the woman in red knew my name.

"How did you know my name?" I asked, and who are they?

"We know a lot of things about you." I was so confused. I looked at the woman in the black dress.

"How? How did the both of you know me?" They both looked at me; the woman in white smiled, but the woman in black did not.

"You will find out later." The woman in white says, I got closer to them, and we walked to where they said they'd build a portal to get us to our destination faster.

We soon came to a... wall? I looked at them, confused. I looked at the woman in white. She closed her eyes and placed her hand on the wall. She was saying something, but I couldn't understand what she was saying. The woman in black explained to me what the woman in white was doing. When she opened her eyes, she said something before the portal opened.

"Door before me, I command thee to open! 'Aperio Portal'!" The portal opened, and we entered. When we entered, we saw a lot of books on the shelves, and I think this is a library. We started walking until we came to a table with a book on it.

"We are now here, and Orianna, go get the book. We can't enter there because there's a barrier around it. And you are the only one who can get the book." They said, but why am I the only one who can enter? I turned to them and asked.

"How can I get the book if there is a barrier around it?"

"Because your strong enough to enter the barrier." They said. I looked at them still wondering.

"But what's in the book? Is that book special or powerful?"

"You will see, Orianna, I promise." They said with a smile that they were about to leave, but I stopped them.

"Just a moment! What are your names? You know me, but I do not even know you guys." I said, and they smiled at me.

"We are your true power." They both said, and then they vanished. "They are my true power." What's that supposed to mean? I'll think about it later because I will read what is in the book.

I approached the barrier because they said when you touch it, you will be electrified because one of the gods who made this barrier is Zeus, the god of lightning.

I was so nervous to enter the barrier thinking that it will electrified me. I'm scared but I need to know what's in the book.

When I entered the barrier, I touched the book, and the second time I was surprised again. There have been images and symbols that have appeared that I don't understand.

After a few seconds, there was a strong force that came out there, and I was thrown on the book
shelf, and everything went black.

JERICHO POV
"Your Majesty, the Detective, has arrived."

"Let him in." I said, and I sat in my swivel chair.

"It's my pleasure to meet you, King Jericho Lee."" He said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for coming."

"My King I received the letter you gave me. Who do you want me to investigate?" I take out a scrap of paper with the picture of the girl on it.

"Her name is Orianna Calista Vladimir." He  took the picture, bowed to me, and immediately vanished.

"Let's see who you really are, Orianna."

RAINE POV
I'm going alone to the clinic because I'm going to visit Orianna. While walking, many students greeted me, and of course, since I'm famous, I also greeted them.

My conversation with the students was interrupted when I felt a strong energy. I quickly ran wherever that strong force was, and I found it—it was in the clinic where Orianna was.

When I opened the door, I saw Orianna floating on her bed, but when I got close to her, she was already down, holding a book. Where did she get that? I was surprised when she called my name.

"Where did you get that book?" I asked. It was impossible because all of a sudden she had a book in her hand. Because I was with Angela earlier, we watched over her, and she didn't have anything in her hand, and now she has it?

"Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it." She said and hide the book in her back.

"By the way, what happened to me, and what am I doing in the clinic?" She asked

"Don't worry, it happened two weeks ago; you got a nosebleed and then fainted." Angela said. The HM told us that if Orianna asks us about what happened to her, we're just going to say that she fainted, and I didn't know why the HM told us not to tell her the truth. Maybe he doesn't want to see what happened before again.

"Do we have class today?" She asked.

"We don't have class today because it's Saturday, but don't worry because the real class hasn't started yet." I said with a smile.

ORIANNA'S POV
I knew they were lying about me fainting and getting a nosebleed. And I also need to lie about the book that I was holding, but I will tell them when the time comes.

"I'm going to my dorm." I said but they stopped me.

"You were transferred to our dorm." She said, I just nodded and stood up.

I go to my room to see what's in the book. When I arrive at my own room, I lock the door and close the window. When I opened it, I was so shocked that I almost let go of the book I was holding.

"This is a spell book?" All of a sudden I got dizzy, and I put the book in my drawer and went to bed to sleep.

I felt someone caress me, and when I opened my eyes, I saw again the two girls who were also in my dreams before.

"We meet again, Orianna." The woman in red smiles. I look around, and I remember that this is the area where I wake up.

"So, Orianna, this is the area where you were going to train and practice your power, and by the way, my name is Odette, and beside me, her name is Alice.."

"But may I inquire as to my location?"

"You are in your dreams, and you will practice every time you go to sleep, but don't worry because you will not be exhausted in your dreams, but it will strengthen your power more than you thought."

"So, are you ready?"

"I'm always ready." She smiled and created a light ball of magic in her hands.

"Well then, let us begin." She said and attacked me.
