A space of serenity and stillness is what I would describe about the vortex that looked like a starry night.

Moving in it made me dizzy, but my mind was at peace. As I was reached the end of the vortex, I saw two doors once again. I was all confused and did not know where to go. Though I am a shaman, it was the first time for me to do these dimensional travelling. As I stood there in confusion, a tiny hand grabbed onto me. It was the real Andrea, she smiled at me and spoke, "don't worry, just open the door which u want to. I will stay with you."

Though Andrea was a lot younger than me, her smile and words comforted me. I walked forward while holding her hand and opened the door to the right. The world beyond was something I could never put in words. A world that was floating on clouds, and brighter than anything I have ever seen. There were different fragrant flowers and plump fruit trees that I can see even before entering the world. Andrea pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, "Go ahead, someone must be waiting for you inside." Her words once again gave me the courage to enter the strange world. Stepping onto the clouds I entered, as soon as I entered I could hear music and praises to God. The voices that sang the melody and praises were so enchanting and mesmerizing. I was drawn into a state of peace just by listening to it. Andrea helped me break out from the enchantment by pushing me to walk ahead. I walked through the soft clouds, fragrant and colourful flowers, trees filled with plump and juicy fruits and surrounding brighter than the sun. I passed though many tiny looking houses and fairies those were of different sizes. Their wings were of different colours and materials. Some were made with silver threads and some were golden while some had pink wings.

At the end of the walkway, I saw a gigantic chair on which a huge figure was sitting. As I walked closer, I could see carrot peels all around and on the throne there sat a fluffy big rabbit nibbling onto his carrot and enjoying the song.

"Orange orange carrots'

Can make your skin shinier and softer.

Eat and bite them.

Chew and swallow them

To look fluffy and happier

The world of clouds and gods

Now have a new visitor

Let's share them some carrots

And ask them, tell their favours."

Announced a kangaroo that was standing near the throne.

I understood that this was not a song of praise, but an announcement to inform the rabbit God about the new visitors.

The rabbit stopped nibbling his carrot and looked down. Andrea even though was just a little child stood bravely with me.

I knew who the rabbit was because he was the same god who sent me to reincarnate as Andrea.

He smiled and spoke in a loud and majestic voice "ohooohoo, here you both are, my two precious souls. Baby Andrea, do you like the person who is now taking your body?" he asked Andrea bowed her head and answered politely, "yes, my lord. I am thankful to you for giving me a second chance."

"Haahaa, you don't have to thank me, it is Si Woon who should be thanked for accepting this responsibility." Rabbit God said smiling.

I now realized that my appearance in this world and entering into Andrea's body was something that Andrea requested to the rabbit god.

I spoke looking straight into the rabbits red ruby eyes "what is going on? What does second chance mean? What does any of it have to do with me?"

The rabbit god jumped down from his throne and hopped near me and Andrea.

He then took my palm and held it "Si Woon; now you are going to live as Andrea. You will have a loving family with sweet parents and brothers, but along with such blessing you will face troubles that will be hard to solve. There will be different puzzles that you will have to complete in order to reach a successful ending. Do not worry, you are not alone. The soul of real Andrea who once experienced all this but failed to reach a good ending will help you out."

I still couldn't understand exactly what was going on, even if I may understand, I did not want to accept the reality that now I may face different troubles and my new family can be in danger.

The rabbit god held my arms tightly and started reciting, [Andrea was holding my other hand and standing beside me]

"Let the blessing of all the animal gods and the god of the sea be upon you. When the cubs cry and waves sing, you will reach them to comfort them. When you are at your lowest, the Triton and Artemis shower you with their blessing. A cool breeze and green trees will cover you from the filthy evil."

This is my blessing child, rabbit God said and let go of my hand.

Andrea who was standing behind me had a light emitting from her soul. Her soul became more transparent and I felt a power running wild inside me.

I was worried that the real Andrea's soul I was disappearing. I held tightly onto her hands.

Andrea smiled seeing me all worried for her and spoke, "I won't leave you now, there are still a lot more memories I have to share with you.

My soul will merge with you once that is done. Now only a part of my soul is merging with you, and this will help you stabilize the blessing you received from the rabbit god." Saying this, she continued to smile while I felt more energized.
