Tick…

Tock…

Tick…

Tock…

A woman the age of early-twenties sighs, lying completely still on a wooden sofa adorned with an arabesque design, within a room designed in an antique-styled study that can almost be identified as a library. Staring at empty space, or more precisely looks at a phone in front of her.

“I’m so sick of this grief. I…”

“I just…want to see you…again…”

The sound of a water drop can be heard loudly within the quiet room, as tears could be seen from the woman’s mystical face. Looking away from a photo shown from the phone. Quietly flowing her tears as she fell asleep.

Singing of birds, sounds of flowing streams, and rustling of leaves can be heard. A blonde boy and a green-haired girl can be seen playing by the stream. Splashing of water can be seen as the two children plays around, when a young maiden with a light yellow-colored hair with the tips being green, called out to the two of them.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Ah! You two stop playing around we have to go back home, you know”

““Yes!””

The two children stopped playing and approached the maiden, but suddenly the boy tripped on something.

“Ow”

“Are you Okay?”

“You should’ve been careful…eh?”

The maiden paused as she saw the “something” that tripped the boy. Seeing a black-haired woman, wearing a weird (for her) clothes, but the maiden was not drawn to the woman’s attire but was instead enchanted by her face. Albeit being slightly plain it is also not to the point it was unnoticeable, but it carries a somewhat mystifying aura that somehow make you feel as if you are surrounded by a relaxing and calm forest lake. Upon noticing that the woman was still floating on the stream the girl called the two children to help her in pulling the woman out of the stream.

“Whoa…”

“So pretty…”

The two kids was also drawn to the woman’s face. The girl thought ‘she’s wet although not wounded but just to be sure’. The maiden opened her mouth.

“[▲◄◄, ■▲■, ▼■•]……”

Glowing bulbs of light surrounded the maiden and the woman as a slightly low but feminine voice, with an incomprehensible words came out of the maiden’s mouth. The slightly wet appearance of the woman immediately becomes dry and stable breathing sound can be heard from her.

The Maiden Stood up and gestured for the two children to come near her. The two kids snapped out of their stupor and trotted cheerfully to the maiden.

“Help me carry her back to the Temple, Okay?”

“Mhm” ”Yes~”

“Good the two of you will be holding her legs as we go, okay”

The two cheerfully nodded at the maiden and started carrying her legs.  The Maiden also sat down and started to hold the woman’s upper body. They walked towards the forest heading deeper to its domain.
