"Karl, can you let me get dressed first?"

We all finally get out from the mysterious magical forest and comes back to the normal Brail Kingdom's forest. I sigh in relieve, my body feel so light and I can't describe how amazing I feel right now. A rustling sound is heard from both sides of us. We stop for a moment.

"Did you hear that?" Eliot says as we all look around. We're waiting and waiting. The sound stops, it's gone.

"Merlin, can you bring her and Lydia to the castle?" Karl looks at Merlin. 

"Bring this." Karl whispers to me as he hands me the tube and in a second, I am in this big giant bubble with Lydia.

"What the-?" I am overwhelmed. Slowly, the bubble moves to the castle. Karl and the others thought it will be fine now, but they're wrong. Not until 10 seconds, someone breaks the barrier, making me and Lydia fall onto the ground.

"Now!" Karl shouts as he unleash his sword and begin striking on the people behind the trees. Kairos is helping Raja, Merlin keeps on protecting Eliot as he fights the rebels and Wolfie too.

For a second, I can see another shadow running towards me. It is Barbaron! In a flash, he snatch the tube away from me. 

"Arrghh!" I close my eyes as I see Karl rips off Barbaron's stomach.

"You will pay for this!" Barbaron flies back and disappears, along with his disciples. I froze, looking at how much blood is on the ground.

"You hurt somewhere?" Karl comes to me.

I nod. "I'm sorry, I lost the tube."

"I asked if you're hurt or not." he says.

"No, but-" When did I become a crybaby? I just lost a very precious thing that now can destroy the world if it's in Barb's hand.

"That's okay, we'll find a way." Karl pulls me slowly and brings me to his chest.

"You have nothing to do now. Come back, son!" Barbarbon says to Kairos, who is lazily looking at his father.

"The same goes for me if I come with you, there's nothing to do either."

"You don't know, do you? That with this much oil, we can awaken your mother from death?"

"Mother?" Kairos lifts his head up. Barbaron smiles and nods. He comes closer to Kairos and stokes his head.

"Yes, son. Your mother, the one who you've always wanted to meet."

"Mother." Kairos smiles.

"What do you say? We can awaken her together and you can hug her tight, just like that dream you've always had when you were a child." Barbaron whispers his words to Kairos. Kairos's weakness is about mother. He never has the chance to meet his mother. 

What is she look like? Where is she? Is she beautiful just like what his father said? Where has she been? That questions suddenly come up to him, so many that he wants to meet his mother as soon as possible. A knock suddenly ruins his thoughts and Barbaron disappears from his sight. He immediately turns around at the door.

"Well, what are you doing here?" Kairos smirks at Karl. It's so strange for him to see Karl visiting him first.

"Thank you for helping my wife."
