Chapter 4

"Aira..."

"Wake up!"

"Ai... "

Swosh...

A cold breeze made me open my eyes and I was confused by what I saw. Before it was it was a pitch black place, but now it's a white bright place.

'What is this? Where the heck I'm?'

'What should I do?'

I was sitting in an empty white painted room alone.

"Ack.. M-my h-hand."

'Wait! What the m-my hand. Isn't small?'

I rub my face, and pulled my short hair.

'Ha...haha! Wait.'

'I'm not dreaming right?'

I stand up and,

Pak...

I slapped my face.

"Wow! That hurts! It seems like this isn't really a dream!"

*Sigh*

"Wait... Does this mean that I'm.. Hahaha!" I burst into laughter

'I'm Aira again right?'

I turned around and around and jumped up and down while laughing.

"Hahahaha! Whahahaha! Hehehehe!"

'I'm back hahaha!'

"Hahaha! Haha.... WAIT-"

'Should I feel happy? For what reason?'

I felt like I'm slowly drifting in the ground as I recall that I already die. Probably?

'Ahhhhh..... My head hurts. I can't understand this shit!'

"Hey! Where are you?"

'That ga dumb goddess where is she?'

"*sigh* YOU! GA DUMB! IDIOT! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" I shout out to the top of my lungs, but no one answered.

'She didn't hear me?'

"...."

'The heck! Where are you?! '

I frowned, I'm burning in frustration.

"... *sigh* You fucking! Son of your father! You self-proclaimed go-hmmm! Hmmmmm! Hm?"

'Hic.. What happened I can't speak!'

"Okay, Okay. Swearing at a beautiful 'Goddess of Life' is bad!"

I turned around and saw the a light shining brightly that made me flinched.

'What the heck is this?'

My right hand was above my eyes, my eyes were half opened. I take step towards the light, every steps the light becomes brighter and brighter.

The light was shining so bright that I have to stop and covers my eyes.

"... Okay you can open your eyes now." someone speak out of nowhere.

I opened my eyes and took away my hand.

I was shocked, and dumbfounded as soon as I saw what's in front of me.

I saw the self-proclaimed goddess standing in front of me and besides her was a flashlight?

"Umhh .. Uhmmm. Uhmmm?"

(Translation: " What the heck is that?")

She look at me with a puzzled reaction.

"What?" she asked

I pointed out the thing besides her. "Oh.. You mean this?" she said and pointed out the thing besides her. "This is nothing!"

She snapped her finger.

Bogsh..

A loud explosion was heard that made me startle,

"Woah! The startled me."

And her. And little do I know, the thing beside her dissappear.

"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.

I let go a big sigh and stare at her. I pointed out my mouth and tries to speak.

"... Ahmmm!? Ohmmm!"

(Translation: "... Why? Undo this! ")

"Ohh.. Do you want us to play charades?" She asked me seriously.

(Face plam)

I pointed out my mouth, then her -

"Okay! You can stop now!" She said

Snap.

She snap her fingers.

"What do you want with me?" I asked her. And she walk towards me, her face is telling me that this is really serious.

"... It's not me. It's her! " she said and pointed out someone behind me. So, I turned around, as I turn around I saw a meadow behind me.

".....?"

I turned around and saw no one but flowers and butterfly.

Swosh...

A strong wind suddenly blows, made me close my eyes.

By the time I opened my eyes I saw different colored petals from different types of flowers floating and swirling in the mid air.

I turned around as I heard a familiar voice calling out my real name, it's the same voice that I heard before I lost consciousness.

"Aira."

I saw a girl barefoot, wearing a night gown walking towards me. She was beautiful. She had a long wavy black hair, she had blue eyes. Somehow, she looked really familiar.

"... Who are you? " I asked

She smiled, she looked very pleased. She stop walking and look at me while smiling.

"Aira, it's nice to finally meet you."

'She's!'

"... Just, why? Why are you smiling like that!"

I stare at her seriously, her smiling face fade.

"Why are you like that?!"

I slowly lowered my head and clenched my fist.

"Hmmm.. What are you talking about?"

I slowly lift up my head and point her out.

"Didn't you die when you were 13?!" I shouted while looking at her seriously

"I did..." she answered, she looked shocked that she even flinched.

"Then, why are you in adult form!?" I asked her.

She slowly lowered her head. Her long wavy black hair covered her face.

"... Pfft!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you-"

She suddenly looked up and Laughed.

"Hahaha!!"

"What's so funny!?" I seriously asked her.

"Hahaha!!"

Iris Claester, she was describe as a very timid but graceful young child with delicate features.

And that girl is in front of me, laughing shamelessly.

"Stop laughing!" I shouted

"Haha, hmmm..." she stand still and look at me directly in my eyes.

"Iris Claester, why do you look like that!" I uttered seriously.

"... I can't answer the question." she said. She suddenly smiled brightly, both of her hands were behind her.

"But, please... " she take a step towards me.

"I only have three things I would like you to do." she said while smiling, while both of her eyes were close.

"Aren't you shameless, did I ever wish to be you.!" I whined, my right palm was placed on my chest.

"My father, my aunt every one, Please love them the same way as I did." she said

"Can't you hear me?!" I shouted

"Denver and Lianna, Please let them be... Aira."

"Just let me, rest." as I said those words I slowly lowered my head and tears falling from my eyes.

"Aira. Please! " She called out my name.

I don't know what expression she's making right now, but the way she speaks, is like she's asking, and begging me. Of course she begging.

"... It seems like you really care about them.."

I slowly lift up my head and look at her.

"Please stop crying." she uttered. She looked worried about me.

"Aira... By the time you will be officially me. You'll face a lot of pain, troubles and love. Please, take care my dear other self.." she said while smiling while looking at the ground.

"So, you mean before it was not officially?!"

She looked at me and smiled. She sticks out her right hand and wave goodbye.

"Hey! Why are you wav-"

I paused as I saw her hand slowly fading away in pink.

"Hey!"

"Aira, Iris Claester. Please take care, someday you will find happiness, that you didn't find before! " she was smiling while looking at me.

"Aira hear this out, my finally request, if you ever.... him... future......." she mumbled something but I didn't hear it.

"Wait, what?"

"Take care."

( Isis's(Goddess) perspective )

Snap...

Everything became back to a white painted white room as it was before.

In front of me a girl was standing. I walk towards her and she turned around.

"How is it? How was her?" I asked her. Her expression looked very pleased.

"She's fine, she's good." she answered.

"Now I can finally get some rest." she added.

"Thank you very much for everything, Goddess." she bows.

' What a polite child. Very different from her. '

"It's nothing.." I said

"Then I leave now." she said and once again bows.

"Once again I thank you, Goddess!" she said and smiled.

Swoosh...

A gast of wind suddenly blows and she dissappear.

"May your soul found peace! " I slightly bow.

".... What an unusual human! "

"... It must have hurt you, to let go of the people you cared for."

"But, to be able to let go the two man you loved the most, is something incredible, ya know that.. "

"Denver and Lianna, Please let them be... Aira."

"Aira hear this out, my finally request, if you ever meet him in the future or be with him someday. Please, take a good care of him. And love him truly and dearly like I did."

"... Human is really amusing."

( Someone's perspective)

Inside this dark office, I was sitting in the chair and besides me was a window. I stand up, and walk to the window.

It's raining really hard outside, a loud thunder strike.

* Thunderclaps *

I turned around and sit back on my chair.

"What's brings you here?" I asked, and stared at the person in front of me.

It's so dark I can't see his face, but this person in front of me is someone I know.

"Sir, the young lady Iris, is alive."

*Thunderclaps*

"How amusing." I said

"But, They say that she collapse again last night."

"Is that so."

"What should we do, Sir?"

"hmm.. Let me think about it."

"We should lay low."

Alex walked toward us while carrying a bunch of papers on his hands.

"Count Claester hired assassins as the county's servants." he added

"Is that so, it seems like the count do care for her daughter." I uttered

"Have you finished it?" I asked him.

"Yes sir! " He answered

"I'll take my leave now, sir." He politely said, he bows and leave.

Alex put down the bunch of papers he was carrying on the top of my table, with a bang.

Bang...

"Just, Why? are you making me do your work. SIR." he whined

"Because it's too troublesome!" I simply said. He stared at me.

"You know staring at me won't change anything." I said.

"Hmmm..." he sigh

"What would you do next? " he asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked back.

I look at him, he was standing in front of me.

"lady Claester!" he said.

"Let's leave her alone. She's probably not going to live long." I said.
