Ninety-Eight:
…
The man that hurts Asim suddenly cry in pain without ending his words and before I can respond someone came behind my back.
"Stay away from her." a mysterious voice suddenly speak up and when I look back memories from the five days ago suddenly comes back in a flash.
…
Past: Five Days Ago
Through the darkness I slowly open my eyes to find some light that will lead me out of this darkness. As I slowly open my eyes I saw two man standing not too far from me, I try to recognize them and I knew only one, it was 'Almos'. I speak to myself and hoping he can hear me but not. As if something was blocking all my powers to reach out on him then, suddenly the other man suddenly pulled me out of the darkness and that's the only time I finally saw the face of my abductor.
However, I couldn't even recognize him. Who is he? I wanted to ask and yet I can't because, the familiarity of the last person that I badly don't want to meet is what I saw from him.
Azazel. There's a bitter taste from my mouth even though I didn't speaking it out loud only through my mind. I just don't like the idea that the man standing right beside me is the same guy who wanted me dead just to fulfill what he wanted.
As I continue to watch in silence for some instance, I saw Almos was in pain. It was so quick I didn't even see how this guy beside me hurt Almos. And as I thoroughly watches, he was about to lose it as if he is going to die any soon.
'No, Almos!' I badly wanted to come to his side but I can't move nor to speak. I don't know why I feel so stuck in a sealed place. Am I in a cage? I don't know yet I feel safe.
'Almos!' I screamed but didn't reach him. 'I pray to God that he can surpass this guy who's killing him right now.' I silently prayed and before I knew it, a shining light begins to cover the whole place. It was too bright I can no longer look at it so I just close my eyes and let the light embrace the whole place. Until I heard a voice, mysterious, manly and powerful like an Immortal and when I open my eyes I saw this guy standing right in front of me.
I know I knew him yet I'm not sure if he is the same guy that I knew. So, I called the name that I knew so well.
'Almos.' I said.
His blue crystal eyes smiles at me and said. 'I am no longer Almos. Soon, I'll be fully awake and we will meet again, my Origin. Now, I need to save you out of this place.'
Before I could say a word, he suddenly drags me out of that place and brought me back to earth.
…
Present
I finally remember everything happened five days ago and I still couldn't believe that this man standing beside me is no other than, Almos, although he is a different person, not as an Angel but a new born Immortal.
"It… it was you!" the man who's in pain right now spoke up as he tried to move back.
"Isn't it clear? I already warned you to stay away from her but then here you are, trying to hurt her again."
The man laughs even though he's in pain and said. "You couldn't blame me she is the only one who knows where to find the Ki'Amitesh."
The man that saves me suddenly shown something disturbing from his eyes and before I can say a word, the bad guy suddenly vanished without a trace then, I and Asim finally return to earth safely.
"Wait!" I quickly stop him before he vanishes too but to my surprised he just smile at me without any words then things turned dark.
…
My eyes immediately open as soon as I heard Chadd's voice.
"Hey! Are you alright?"
I look up to him and for some reason, my mind seems missing something important. Has the erasure of my memories happened again? But why? Who is doing this to me?
"Jeanne?!"
"I-I'm sorry. I feel a little bad."
"What? Do you have a fever?" he asked and check my forehead.
"No… I mean… I'm kind of feeling dizzy."
"Maybe because of the hot weather," he answered that I just nodded. "So, let's go back inside the classroom. Or do you want to go to the clinic first?"
"No. Classroom is fine with me." I said. "Let's go." I added immediately because the longer we stayed in this place, I felt like the strangers I didn't want to see again would appear any moment.
…
Dream World
"Welcome back, my Lady."
I look back and saw someone I don't know. "Wh-who are you?" I asked and not sure what gender this person has. He looks like a man and she looks like a woman.
"I'm Immortal Spirit Wren, a genderless Immortal also known to Earth as Gods and Goddesses and I'm your new protector."
"Protector?"
"It was Goddess Ilmatar who sends me to you."
"Ow." All I could say.
"Aren't you interested in getting to know me better?" Wren asked me out of the blue.
I took a deep breath before I answered. "When I showed interest in Ilmatar before, I failed to find out the truth so it was better for me not to have any interest in anyone." I frankly said and turned my back at him/her.
"In that case, you have no interest in knowing about Ki'Amitesh either."
What he said made me stop and within a second, my lost memories suddenly returned which made me to look back at him/her.
"Wh-who are those guys?!" I frantically asked.
"To know who they are, then remembering your past will answer all your questions."
