449 A Warning from Soone in the Past
I lay down beside my babies on the bed. I looked at them and felt my heart swell with love and happiness. I see my twins both smiling in their sleep.
“What could the two of you be dreaming of?” I smiled seeing them sleeping peacefully.
I felt rather tired after all the walking in the city. I felt my eyelids getting heavier until I felt like sleep overtake .
Not long I felt it was very bright even with my eyes closed. I opened my eyes and saw a light blue sky above .
“W-Where am I?” I asked to no one in particular.
I looked around and it felt like the place is sowhat familiar to . The blue sky was endless, and I was standing over ankle deep water that reflects the sky above.
“It feels like I have been here before.” I said to myself.
I stand up from a lying down position, even though I was lying down in water my clothes are not dry.
“I feel like I am dreaming.” I said.
I looked around and tried to walk in no direction in particular. While walking I hear giggles of children. The voices of the children seed familiar.
“I think I know those voices.” I said to myself.
I fastened my pace and not long I saw my twins, Alphonse, and Aerith. They were playing happily in a space different from where I am.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0ᴠᴇ)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
“Alphonse, Aerith.” I called out but they did not turn around. It looked like they did not hear . “Alphonse, Aerith?” I called once again.
The place they were at looked like a mirage in this vast space. They were running with their little legs on short green grass. They were giggling while playing.
“They will not hear you.” A voice of a man said from behind .
I was surprised that I jumped from where I am unconsciously. I turned around and saw a face I did not expect to see again.
“How are you, my child?” The Almighty One smiled at .
“I-Its you.” I replied in surprise. “B-But I thought you disappeared that ti when I gave birth. That explains why this place looks familiar.”
This place was where I have been before I gave birth to my twins, when I fell asleep for a long ti.
“Weeeellll, I also did not expect that a part of still remains inside your son.” The Almighty One replied.
“So, this place is...” I had an idea of what this place is.
“Yes, you are correct.” The Almighty One smiled. “This place is the shared mind inside your twin’s consciousness.”
“So that is why I saw them just now.” I said. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“Yes, that was what they are currently dreaming.” The Almighty One replied. “Twins really are fascinating, especially those with special magical abilities such us your children. They can share minds and also et each other in their dreams. Quite a connection, I might say.” He had a proud smile on his face.
“You seem happy, Almighty One.” I giggled. He seed like a grandfather that is proud of his grandchildren.
“Hmm, have you forgotten.” The Almighty One looked at . “I told you to call grandpa, hahaha.” He laughed out loud.
“I-I am sorry.” I felt embarrassed. “I forgot. I never thought we would see each other again like this.” I smiled shyly.
“eting you here was quite sudden as well.” The Almighty One said. “I an, you should not be here. But here you are.”
“Does that an sothing?” I asked.
“Well, I can see so glimpse thru your son’s eyes.” The Almighty One replied. “You were attacked by so really bad creatures.”
“The wargs.” I said abruptly. “Do you know about them? I an, you could have encountered these kinds of creatures in the past.”
“I might not be that helpful anymore if you will ask about the past.” The Almighty One replied. “After the birth of your twins, I should have disappeared. But it looks like my consciousness is fading slowly over ti. I might be still here, but my mind is fading little by little.”
“Does that an, you do not rember?” I asked rather disappointed.
“I have so bits and pieces that I can rember.” The Almighty One replied. “These creatures as I recall are different from the ones you have t so far.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
“Do you an the sirens and the Lycans?” I asked quite curious.
“Yes.” The Almighty One replied. “The sirens and the Lycans, they have their own minds and hearts. They can feel emotions like humans. Happiness, sadness, love, anger, hate... they have a conscience like humans do. But these creatures... they are dark. There is darkness that surrounds them... darkness that created them.”
“Darkness?” I thought.
I have felt this darkness when I encountered the wargs for the first ti. And now, I can feel sothing in the direction of the forest where the facility of Count Forger and his son was.
“This darkness, I cannot rember quite well now but I think there is sothing I have done in the past.” The Almighty One said. “But there might be so clues I have left. You go and find them. I am sure they are still lying around sowhere in the continent.” He smiled.
“Thank you.” I said with gratitude. “The information you have shared is quite helpful.”
“I am happy that I could be of so help to you. I am sorry that it was not much.” The Almighty One said.
“No, grandpa. At least you gave a direction to follow.” I replied with gratitude.
“Hmm I am not sure if this is helpful but, I believe this darkness reacts with my presence.” The Almighty One said. “To be more exact, your son’s presence. The one near here, they can feel the power of your son. It would be best to take care of them before they wreak havoc.”
“I understand.” I replied. “Thank you so much.”
The surroundings started to beco brighten. The light blue sky started to brighten up that it hurt my eyes. I felt my consciousness in this plane fading.
“It looks like your little ones are waking up.” The Almighty One said. “Rember to follow your young one’s lead. They can lead the way.”
I nodded with the Almighty One’s words.
I opened my eyes and sat up abruptly. I looked around and saw that I was still inside the children’s bedroom, lying on their bed. I saw the little ones starting to stir from their nap. Not long, their eyes opened, and they looked around and saw .
“Hello my little ones.” I said with a smile. “How was your nap?” I asked.
“Mama.” Aerith called out and stretched her little arms wanting to be carried.
“Mama.” Alphonse did the sa.
“Oh, both of you want to be carried.” I said. “But I think I cannot carry you both at the sa ti. What do I do.”
The door opened while I was thinking if I can still carry the twins at the sa ti. I saw Regaleon coming inside.
“Oh, you and the kids are awake.” Regaleon said while walking towards us. “When I peeked inside the room a while ago, I saw you and the twins asleep, so I did not disturb you.”
“Well, we are awake now.” I smiled. “I will need your help here please.”
I let Regaleon see that both the twins want to be carried at the sa ti. He smiled at and kissed my head.
“Well, you are quite in a predicant I see.” Regaleon teased. “That is the problem in having twins. Thankfully, you have here.” He smiled.
“Yes, thankfully I have you.” I replied with a smile.
Regaleon took Aerith and carried her in his arms while I took Alphonse. The twins started to giggle and play with my hair and Regaleon’s clothes.
“Leon, I just had a weird dream.” I told him.
“Dream...” Regaleon looked at . “What kind of dream?” He asked.
.
pAɴᴅᴀɴ[0ᴠᴇ]ʟ “It was a dream like the one I had before I gave birth.” I replied.
Regaleon knew what I was talking about. I have told him how I t the Almighty One before I gave birth to Alphonse and Aerith.
“Did you et him again?” Regaleon asked.
“Hmm.” I nodded.
“What did he say to you?” Regaleon asked.
“He told sothing about these creatures.” I replied. “He told that these creatures are different from the sirens and the Lycans. That there is a darkness that created these creatures.”
“So, these creatures existed in ancient tis.” Regaleon said. “But why do they still exist now? Why did they only co out now. There were no sightings of them before.” He was in deep thought.
“The Ancient One could not give more details because of circumstances.” I said. “But he said that there are so clues that we can find that could explain them. He said that we should follow our little one’s lead.”
Regaleon and I both looked at Alphonse. He smiled at us as if he understood what we were talking about.
“I guess we should do that then.” Regaleon replied. “But for now, we need to take care of the wyvern business of Count Forger. We cannot let them continue to breed such dangerous creatures.”
