Chapter 154
At first, things were a bit awkward between Viezda, Valenor and Lilinor since they didn’t know each other well, but their passion for the ga of chess brought them together and they gradually beca closer.
I was enjoy my ti, staring up at the bright blue sky and watching my three princesses pick up the chessboard after their match, when suddenly Gaia’s voice appeared from out of nowhere.
“Are you so kind of womanizer Johra? Look at how happy all these won are with you.”
“Stop that, Gaia. What are you here for?”
Although I could already guess the reason she had co, I figured I’d play along a bit.
“Huhu! Do you rember that favor which involved lpone?”
“Of course, and since you have control of most of the universes, it won’t be an easy task, right?
“Co on, you can easily deal with this. Also, this doesn’t only concern lpone, but all the humans on Earth.”
“What? Earth? Is tatron sohow involved in all this?”
“It seems lpone was born on Earth and in the sa ti period as your human life there. But, as you well know, Earth is currently under the influence of tatron.”
“Right.”
“tatron and I are like the two sides to one coin, we can’t one up each other, not to ntion that Earth is like his ho ground.”
“So you want to take care of him?”
“Sothing like that. I know that you two have so sort of arrangent by which he has to follow the course of history, but you know what terrible future is in store for Earth, so….”
“Will I have any problems with this favor then?”
“You know full well how strong you still are.”
“I see, so what do I need to accomplish by going back over there?”
“Two things actually, the first is to return with lpone and the second is to save Gnoss.”
“Gnoss?”
“Yes, Gnoss will actually play a relatively important role since he is destined to stand up to tatron.”
“Ugh! How annoying.”
“I’ll throw in a bonus, so please do this for .”
“Fine, then when would this occur?”
“Right now.”
“Hey! No, wait up Gaia! I haven’t finished yet….”
Before I could say anything else, she placed her hand on forehead and I was whisked back into the past.
“That dam Gaia….”
As I opened my eyes felt myself crumpled down in so slly area, with light filtering in from above.
“Over here…!”
I shouted, hoping others could hear my voice.
Shortly after I heard a couple voices.
“Hey, are you okay down there?”
“A child has just fallen in there!”
‘Oh, did I just return to the exact mont when I had fallen down the manhole?’
I tried so magic skills but nothing appeared, likewise calling out the status page didn’t work.
“I’m down here! Please get so help!”
I shouted out anxiously and after so ti a knotted rope descended which I used to climb out of the manhole.
The next couple of days there was talk of the boy which was miraculously saved despite having fallen in a manhole, but as ti passed the incident was quickly forgotten and I had returned to regular life.
‘My magic skills still aren’t working, could it have all been a dream?’
I began doubting many of my mories.
After having returned to Earth, my relationship with my parents had improved drastically. Due to my many life experiences, I was able to properly express my affection for them. After all, in another universe they had lost their son and grieved heavily as a result of it.
By now two years had passed since the incident with the manhole.
My doubts about these mories of mine were becoming stronger, as I began believing them to be no more than a strange dream.
‘ChiZzzic! Joh…ra!’
It reminded of Lena’s voice which I had not heard in two years.
“Lena?”
I stood up and shouted loudly in the middle of class. Naturally there as no response and I was sent out to stand in the corridor as punishnt for my outbreak.
Across from our school was a special needs school which I would occasionally stare out to. However, this ti around I saw a face which I just happened to recognize.
“Don’t tell … could that lpone?”
There was no plausible explanation for this since here face looked exactly like that of lpone’s from my mories.
Whether or not I actually could hear Lena’s voice might have been in question, but for , this resemblance to lpone was more concrete proof that I wasn’t entirely crazy.
Completely ignoring my punishnt of waiting out in the corridor, I ran towards the exit, hell bent on reaching the other school. Unfortunately the school monitor had seen and apprehended before I could cross the gates.
“Crazy kid! Why did you run to the other school all of a sudden?”
The school monitor proceeded to slap my across the cheek a few tis, but I didn’t even feel the sting as my mind was still on lpone.
Ever since that day I would wait by that schools gate from early in the morning when classes would start, and then once again the in afternoon when they would end. I would often be caught and brought before that school’s head disciplinary teacher who was angry with my actions. However I would Alway tell him that I was waiting to et a student who studied here.
They also tried to bring my parents into it, but it seems that they believed that I had simply found my first love and was simply obsessed.
A few months passed in that fashion, but I had yet to see her again. Perhaps a normal person would have given up at this point, but not . Part of what drove so much was the desire to prove that my mories were more than re fantasy.
Rain or shine, I would be by that schools gate to watch the students enter and leave, gaining the nickna of Dandelion for my strange behavior.
Finally, after six months of stalking, I was given permission to enter and look through the classes to find my mystery girl. But, after going classroom by classroom, I had yet to catch sight of lpone.
It was to be expected, after all I had been sitting by the gate and watching every student enter and leave for the past six months. It had all been a dead end. I was standing there, by one of the classroom doors, feeling frustrated and defeated. When the adjacent faculty door opened and a young looking female teacher, who looked more like a student ca out.
“Oh, you must be that Dandelion, still haven’t found her yet?”
I shook my head.
“Oh, then maybe she just isn’t in school right now.
“I’ve been looking for the past six months.”
“Okay, then let check the records to see if there was a student which transferred out around that ti. Do you have a phone number?”
I returned ho after giving her my number. My parents upon seeing how depressed I looked just give a pat on the back to try to cheer up.
Returning to my room, I jumped on my bed and stared at the ceiling dejectedly.
“In the end was it all a dream? Lena’s voice, lpone’s face?
I punched the wall in anger and tried to fall asleep.
