Chapter 20: Bridge

Inside the room, behind the beautiful carved door, lays a room with walls and ceiling colored in a pale royal blue with a touch of aquamarine and turquoise.

The furniture, made from the same wood and as the door, oak wood, has beautiful carvings of roses and a slight touch of gold to make the outlines be seen.

This kind of furniture actually reminds me of the 19th century.

The bed, made of rosewood but painted in a beautiful dark brown with specks of red hue, has pillars in order to support the beautiful royal blue curtains with intricate design of lines and... what a surprise, roses.

On either side of the bed, there are two statues of cats that serve as nightstands. 

From what I can tell due to one of the curtains which was left lifted, Leviathan was in a pajama exactly like mine, but unlike me, he looks to be in pain. 

I looked at the walls and found what I was looking for. A window, with its curtains closed. So I went and opened them in order to let the light in. I then went and checked the first door which was the nearest to the window, which proves to be a closet. I then headed for the second door, which loaded me to the bathroom where I wet some towels with cold water and took them with me, in order to put them on Leviathans forehead, hands, chest and neck since I could tell from how red he was that he is running a fever. 

Lucifer decide to take a seat on the sofa near the window, a delicate brownish sofa.

I saw him being careful not to dirty the carpet. Who knew he can be so mindful?

I approached Levi and started putting the towels on him after checking his temperature. He was burning up.

"He'll be okay, right?"

"Don't worry Lucifer, he'll be okay as long as I'm here nothing will go wrong!"

"Now then, don't let anyone disturb me! I need to enter his dream world and inner mind which can take sometime, and it's dangerous to be interrupted or have our bodies moved after the connection is made, let's not even talk about injuries."

"Got it... take care..."

"I will."

Now then... lets get it over with.

I played next to Levi and caught his hand in mine. I started concentrating on his mind and how I entered it through a bridge created due to my imagination. I felt myself being pulled through the darkness and memories to where he is now, and I'm not surprised to see him far in the distance looking at the memory which seems to be from the day he and his friends became fallen angels.

"Leviathan!"

He didn't hear me. It seems that h really is caught up in his memories.

"LEVIATHAN!!!"

"Rosemary?"

I was next to him, and he turned in my direction to look at me. He seems surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, well I decided that I need a walk in the dreamland, and you seem to be in need of a partner!"

"..."

"You need to wake up, or you will die Leviathan!"

"But how?"

"... Everyone has some kind of door, or gap or portal in his memories, but I can't seem to be able to find one in yours. That's quite strange."

Maybe he needs to get over something in order to be able to wake up? Maybe something is holding him back? But what? What could it be? Which memory?"

"Which memory repeated itself over and over again?"

"The one when we became fallen angels."

"Did something happen that day that made you so upset that you couldn't let it be?"

"I... I made Evelyn cry and left without even saying goodbye and that I'm sorry."

"I see, so that might be it. Well, let me tell you something funny. Even to this day, Michael refuses to meet her eye to eye."

"He does?"

"Yes, because he sees her like a sister, and you were dear to her, so he blames himself for the pain he caused her."

"I see."

"How about you guys come to Heaven to some point to meet up with old friends?"

"That might not be such a good idea, after all, many hate us now."

"But not everyone, so why not give it a try?"

"You're right... very well."

I knew it, he just has to move on from the past.

"Look, a door! Let's go!"

"Hmm... Thank you, Rosemary!"

"No problem Levi! Now come on, Lucifer is waiting for us!"

I could tell that at the mention of his friends name he became happier. 

I wish I could see what will happen after he wakes up, but after this long trip in the dream world, I might as well say that I'll sleep like a log.

"Lucifer?"

"Leviathan! You're awake!"

"Yes, I'm fi-"

"She's sleeping?"

"She must be tired!"

"Indeed, after all, she used so much energy in order to create a bridge to your mind. At some point I thought I myself saw that bridge!"

"She's strong! She will be stronger than any of us!"

"That's true. I wish I was there for her when she grew up though. Maybe she wouldn't have so many scars then."

"What do you mean?"

"Toth, Abigor, Kephu and a maid did a complete scan on her. She has a lot of scars on her mind, soul and body."

"That bad?"

"Kephu almost thought that they would have to stitch her soul together when they only saw at the middle of the threads, holding the soul captive in the body, complete white Leviathan! White, as if the threads were not there or were cut!"

"What could of have happened to her to cause such great damage, anyway?"

"They said that she might of have experienced one hell of a trip to the Death Domain and back. They can't even believe that she is alive now."

"For them to make those kinds of statements-"

"I don't even want to think of what she went through in Heaven!"

"..."
