- I.. I'm sorry! I didn't know that you're in there! - Leyce yelled.
- Am I really supposed to believe in that?! You saw that the lights were on idiot, on top of that, what kind of person walks in a random house without knocking?! Not to mention entering rooms in it without knocking or asking first??
- I knocked before entering the house to begin with but you didn't answer! Also, I'm lost, didn't really have much choice but to enter. If you don't want random people entering your house at night, you should lock the door!
- Ugh I can't believe you... Wait, what do you mean you're lost?
- It's as I said, I'm lost. I have no idea how I got here in the first place...
- Well now that you mention it, I feel that you're a human. But there's something odd with you. I sense some sort of weird aura from you. It's familiar... And warm.
- Wait a minute. What do you mean "I'm a human"? You're a human as well?
- Are you serious now? You should know this much at least. Did you hit your head, did you lose your memories or something? I'm a human, but not any kind, I'm Heyrian.
- Say what again?
...
- What? You never heard of Heyrens?
- Sounds like siren to me... But obviously I didn't.
- Sire- What? No, we have nothing to do with sirens, sirens are also different creatures than an ordinary human but we aren't- wait, please don't change the topic. For the starters, what's your name?
- It's Leyce. It's pleasure to meet you. And you would be?
- I'm Serina. So Leyce, could you explain how did you get here?
- Well I was at school, and weird things were happening for a while now. I felt weird feeling like if someone was next to me. Yet there was no one. Also, car almost killed me one time, and I've been getting weird messages randomly spawning in my notebook at school... All I remember is me getting asked "do I have what it takes to face it". Also, I had to answer with yes or no"
- And, what did you write?
- You are actually dumb aren't you? Or are you making fun out of me?
- GET OUT OF MY HOUSE THEN
- Woah there, no need to sweat it. I wrote yes obviously.
- Jeez, you are so annoying. And stupid. Like didn't anyone teach you not to answer random questions in your notebook?

- Uhh no, they didn't?
- Come on, that's common knowledge.
- IN WHAT UNIVERSE EXACTLY IS THAT COMMON KNOWLEDGE?
- In yours, obviously isn't.
- Whatever, so what do we do now? And where are we again?
- We are in Heyria. Something which would appear to be some sort of parallel universe to yours.
- Ohhh so that's why you guys know that you're not supposed to answer random questions that appear in your notebook. I see now, makes sense.
- What?! No? You are actually helpless.
- Well you didn't learn about sarcasm here either.
- Stop changing topic. My father will be back soon. The thing is, humans aren't allowed here at all. The humans like you are. I might be able to offer you to spend a night here, but that's all I could do. If guards were to find you outside, it's most likely that you would be imprisoned, taken for questioning and then either killed or something like that.
- Why would they do that?
- I don't know myself. Humans coming here are rarity. Same happened to my mother.
- She was a human?
- Yeah, something like that. More of a half human. I don't really know much about it either. Current leader of Heyria did it. She was first turned into a cat, and then killed afterwards...
- A... Cat?!
-... My father probably know more about it... But I'm not so sure about that either.
- I can't just tell her that a cat guided me here can I? But no, she told me that her mother was killed after becoming a cat wasn't she? Then it couldn't be her mother. Maybe I should be quiet about it for now.
- im sorry for your loss.
- It's okay, I was really young when that happened.
- If I can ask, what happened to your father?
- He is just an ordinary human.
- Then how did he get here?
- I don't know. A lot of things were kept a secret from me since I was born.
- What was kept a secret from you Serina? - a deep men's voice was heard.
- Dad! It's nothing really.
- Oh I see. And who would he be?
- This is my boyfriend, Leyce.
- the hell did she just say?
- He will spend the night here since it's already late.
- Nice to meet you Leyce, my name is Selion.
- N.. Nice to meet you Mr. Selion.
- Feel free to spend the night here, you are part of the family. Now shall we eat something? You must be hungry Leyce.
- No, I'm not really. Thank you so much.
- Oh, then I won't disturb you anymore. Good night Leyce, Serina.
- Good night dad.
- Good night Mr. Selion.
He just smiled and left the room.
- I don't remember you telling me part of the plan where you introduce me as your boyfriend?!
- I don't remember the part where you entered my house with permission. There was no other way around it.
- Ah, whatever. It can't be helped. And since you're helping me out here I won't really complain.
- As you should.
- I might as well just kill you while you sleep though.
- Touch me and you're dead men.
- Why would I touch you??
- I don't know and I don't care, you're sleeping on the floor.
- I wasn't expecting anything better anyway.
...
While the two of them were arguing, something crossed Selion's mind.
- So it finally began huh. Dear, your loss won't be in vain...
Everything went quiet as everyone went to sleep. Everyone besides Serina's father.
...
- Serina.
- What is it?
- Are you awake?
- As you hear, yes, yes I am.
- I'm sorry to trouble you.
- It's nothing I told you. Don't worry about it.
- Thank you. I really appreciate it.
She smiled and turned the other way. Good night Leyce.
- Good night.
...
As night was passing, Leyce couldn't sleep that well so he decided to go out for some fresh air. He sat on grass and looked up to the big bright moon which was shining though the leafes.
- is this my new life? Will I ever go back to where I was? I left my mom all alone at home... She must be dead worried about me. Now that I think about it, I don't even remember what happened to me before I came here... Did I collap-
While Leyce was lost in his thoughts about home and mother, an unknown men walked up to him and...
- What a pleasant evening it is...
- Oh Mr. Selion you're still awak-
- isn't it Leyce?
