The Dreamer Returns Again (Dream Returner)

Chapter 5- Certain Fragments

Chapter 5- Certain Fragments

Jul 04, 2021

Who i-

Being startled, I realized that I heard it better from the left ear. As suppose, turning my new head towards the left side, the first attraction that my eyes have caught was a long, blazing red hair. It was a young girl's kind of voice, so I should think of it as her hair then.

"..."

Seeing her fully. Those normal ears, I suppose, of course, she is also a human. But something's not accepting my intuition... It seems that it is telling me that she's not a normal one. Well, looking at that girl earlier and me, colored hairs are common in here, maybe her hair is a rare one. (It's not)

Anyways, she's pretty and cute.

"..."

But...

But really!! Why do I feel that she's giving me demonic vibes even if she is a human!!!

Oh well...

"Who..."

Having my vast understanding of things, I then realize that it's not the right response.

"What are you doing here?"

Yes, this is the right one...

"Huh? Why are you asking me that?! Who are you?! It's you who should be questioned!!"

Ugh, she's loud... I mean, she's a kid with demonic vibes so her being loud should be connected with it then? Well, not that I know others in this world with demonic vibes. Having to realize that I have now gotten a better intuition, I then have found a better path towards this irresistible situation...

"Then who are you?" I asked...

Her then staring at me for some seconds and making a fervent face, I then asked her in my mind if she's just so attracted to me...(Too prideful)

"..."

Then.

"H-huh?!"

What do you mean h-huh? Did your soul had just left your body?

"I'm... Visha... Who are you?!

"..."

Ahh shit no!! Don't ask me that!! I don't even know who this kid's name is!!

"E-ehh, Uhmmm... I-its..."

No! I should not lie... What if she might be a guest as she doesn't know that this kid is living here. Suppose that it would be like that, then she should know me in time! And if the name that I said will not be the name that she will know as, it will then be too suspicious!!

Too much for this unscripted rehearsal, my brain then gave me a sudden response.

"Well... W-what if you are an assassin?! And if I'll tell you my name and it is one of your blacklists... You might kill me!! So I should officially conclude that you are a guest first before knowing me!!

"..."

EHH WHAT THE FUCK?!! A kid? Assassin?! Why would I say that she's an assa-

"Ahhh... Hmmm!! Okay then!!!"

Looking at this gullible idiot, I had then realized that I'm still at least a bit above the lowest fraction of idiocy.

"..."

"What?"

Sh... she really believed me just like that...

"Sigh..."

Maybe assassins are too much for this world to bear. Oh well, a kid like me should suppose be focusing on education first. Politics? Heh, who would work with that if there are magical adventures!!

"Then what are you doing here?!!"

Ahh... Too loud kid.

"I... I just wanted to view the rise of the stars..."

"..."

Ah??? Will she believe me again?! But what she's seeing on me now is true though.

"Really?! Me too!! Seeing Seluna and Equinox here is the very best!! Although I am not here because of the sight, this is one thing I had looked forward to on coming in here!!"

"..."

Selona and Ekwenoks? Are those the names of those two stars?

Anyways, it's okay now. She's not suspicious of me anymore. I should try to get along with her as the first person in this world that I had talked to.

"So... Not knowing me, you're a guest here then?"

"Hmmm!! Seems like that!!"

As expected. I sure am now better at my intuition and precision.

"How 'bout you?!"

I can't carry on these lies anymore. Please...

"I live here..."

No other explanation... Why would this kid be here in this luxurious and noble place if he's not living here then?

"You live here?! Why don't I know you!?"

What...?

"Uhh... Because you're a guest right??"

"..."

Seems like that right...?

"..."

RIGHT?!!

"..."

"Hmmm... Yeah!! I don't know you because I'm a guest!!"

Haaah... Why would she ask that in the first place? Did she had already come here often without even interacting with this kid all this time?

"..."

Anyways. I should ask her about magic in this world!!

"Hey. Visha right? Can you use magic?"

Her not feeling suspicious towards me now, this is of course an opportunity!

"Of course I can? I mean, who can't?"

"..."

Oh. Of course, then...

"Then can you show me your magic?"

"..."

"..."

Why is she silent for many seconds now?

Then. Expecting her to show me magic, I didn't even think that an unpredictable situation will then bear fruit again...

"You didn't know?!"

Didn't know what?!

"That no one except the Everden Guardians in the Royal Castle can use magic..."

Oh. Fuck...

I have mistaken!! I didn't expect that it i-

"But anyone can use magic outside this Castle of course..."

"..."

"Why didn't you know that if you lived here?"

Oh shit...

I should make a way again!! I then use my "what-so made" intuition.

"U-uh... I forgot to tell you, I just lived here not long ago... So I didn't know it was like what you said..."

"..."

Seems fishy... is what she would think about what I said!! Well, it's not like I can say that I am still a kid so I don't know!! What if it's a basic knowledge of the people who lived here?! Then even children will know about it!!

"Hmmm... Okay!!"

Ahh... As expected. Anyways, I can learn about magic and other sorts of things in this world later. I should ask about herself...

But I hadn't...

"Oh!! I forgot that I have other things that I need to do!! See you later!!"

Her leaving the terrace, what should I do now? But instead to think about it, she went back.

"Oh!! If you want to talk about magic then... There is this someone in here at the edge of this terrace that might answer your questions!!

Oh... I should ask about this someone's name first if I will go talk without any suspicions at all.

"Who is it? Maybe it is someone that I know...?"

Or avoiding this should be the better way to not be suspicious at all?

"She didn't say her name to me. But she said that she's also new!! You should talk to her!!

Ahh... I really then want to know magic now!!

"..."

"So... Where's that edge again?"

"..."

"..."

"Just go to where I went!!"

"..."

Huh?

"What?! But I don't even know where you went, idiot!!"

"..."

"Idiot?! So you're also like that huh?! You shall pay for what you have said to me when we see each other again!! Bleeeeehhhh!!!"

Ugh... Didn't suppose to say it like that, but... she's just... too... Anyways, why would I know the place that someone went on if I myself have an eternal shock just knowing she's right beside me already?!

"BANG!!"

What...the... hell...was that...? She... she just broke the door...? A child just broke one luxurious and hard-looking door... Are my eyes deceiving me right now?!

"..."

What... What is this even supposed to mean?! She's... she's that strong to the point that she broke that door with pure... brawn?!!

"..."

Ahhh... So magic is not all what this world offers huh... Pure strength is also needed!!

"Oh well. It seems that because I saw her at the left side while I was standing, she went... to left??"

Ugh... Not that I know, I'll just go left then...

As I was walking, there seem to be these colorful and unique forms of flowers that are not present on Earth.

Walking straight, I then touched some flowers on the path. Suppose to be that I will just touch them...

"..."

"I don't know about these flowers, but why... Why do I feel that touching these makes me feel so sentimental...? Do I feel nostalgic because of other dreams... or... That's not it.

"I feel that I had felt these flowers already... Strange."

Anyways, I don't need to waste my shitty (low-on-quality) brain cells towards nonsense things. What's not is that...

"Now... Why did I begin to feel cold...?"

"..."

"Why does the surrounding feels to become colder and colder as I walk forward?"

"..."

Looking at it now, there seem to be similarities of the light of this world from the sun of the earth.

Light reflections huh... What's strange now is that it's getting even colder...

"..."

Beginning to feel even colder and colder, I then saw some ice fragments. The path now is also starting to have ice shards.

Starting to expect that I might die from having frostbite, I didn't realize it after being able to feel this...

"..."

Why?

"Why... Why do I feel... Hot now?"

"..."

Supposedly, I will be confused. But then, I heard a voice again...

"Wh... who are you?!"

Huh? That voice of a girl... Where did that come from?! It feels like it is far, yet close.

Impressing it to be like that, the only possible meaning of it is...

"Telepathy!!"

So telepathy is also present and part of magic in this world?! I now really want to learn magic and many things unviable on Earth!

"..."

But... wait...

If... if she can use magic here...

Then is she one of the "Guardians"(Everden) Visha was saying?!! Now this is hard...

"..."

Anyways, can she even hear me if I talk now?!

"Uhmm... Hello? Can you hear me?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Standing still here for a minute now, I suppose...

"She can't hear me?"

"..."

"But I can hear her?"

"..."

"Seems like a half-baked kind of magi-..."

"Huh!! What are you calling half-baked kind of magic?!"

Ahhh...

"Uhmm... Why didn't you respond to me for a minute now?" I thought your soul left your body also, like Visha kid earlier...

"..."

"I just... I just felt something strange on you..."

Strange? This is your magic... So you should be the strange one right? Especially since you didn't respond, I just thought that it is a half-baked kind of Telepathy...

"..."

"Can we see each other?"

Oh...? She wants to see me... personally...?

"Okay then. I'm still in the place where ices are beginning to appear in the surroundings..."

"..."

"Just... Just continue walking forward until you can see a door... As you open the door, the first thing you should literally see is a floating crescent-like, glowing ice..."

"..."

Floating what again?! Oh well... As long as I can see what she's talking about floating in the air, then it's alright...

"..."

As I was walking for a minute now, I then saw the door that she was talking about. Now that I had arrived, I really didn't pay attention to the ices everywhere... As I said, I haven't felt cold since ices began to appear... Anyways, opening this frozen door, covered with ice should not be a problem.

And as I had opened the door, winds then first greeted me so my eyes blinked again and again.

"..."

As I regained my sight again.

I then saw what crescent-shaped glowing ice that she was talking about. But rather than staring at how beautiful it is... My eyes then began to look down below it. To put it simply, I was staring at the one who was below in it.

"..."

It's her.

"..."

Touching it like it's hers... Seems like it's hers of course.

It's hers, as her glamorous glacier blue-colored hair resembles what's above her too much to call it even as a separate thing from her... Two glowing exceptionally- glamorous...

"..."

I continued to walk so I can be closer to her. Staring and focusing only on her to the point that her background seemed to begin erasing its existence, I then have realized that I was just too astonished at how beautiful of a sight I am seeing in front of me right now...

It should be cold. But I feel hot...

Hotter than a chilling light.

"..."

No... It's not hotter...

I am like the chilling light itself... Surrounding this place...

"..."

This feels... too nostalgic. It's like...

It's like I fe-

"Are you the one? No, you are the one..."

Focusing on my thoughts, I didn't realize that I am already close to her...

"..."

She turned to me.

"..."

She looked at me.

"..."

She started to walk towards me. If then, we could be too close with each other, even as just being strangers to one another...

"..."

Me stopping myself to walk and just standing still, I then began to realize...

Her blistering eyes...

Her chilling hair...

Her mouth, everything...

It's like... I'm drawn to being by her side.

"..."

No... It's more like.

I was already drawn to the first time I saw her.

The first time, which I feel that it's not now.

"..."

It's somewhere. Somewhere in the past...

Because this just feels too strange. It feels... It feels too nostalgic...

This unknown nostalgic feeling...

"..."

We are already standing close to each other...

"..."

Staring at each other's eyes, I then thought to myself. If... if I'm feeling that I saw her in the past already... then why can't I remember a thing about her?

"..."

Then. If I...

If I just...

"Who are you?"

"..."

"Who am I? I really don't know also..."

"..."

"But earlier, as I woke up, they have said that I am the Queen..."

"..."

"Queen, Queen Eyoulia..."

"..."

E... Eyoulia? I hav-

Supposedly that I will wonder about the name, she then surprisingly touched my hands...

"Wha-"

But then, a white void suddenly appears.

"Huh?"

Dreams are just sensations that usually occur in the mind during certain stage while sleeping. But for him, is actually just like waking up in an another life, living as if he was being transmigrated in that world after sleeping at night. Being a wizard, a demon, an animal, a normal human person, and any other kinds of living beings. He wakes up after certain conditions are met, but what if he came back to one of them? Now that's unfitting for his memorization skills...
