At first Flora though she misheard so she stuttered a little.

- W-what do you mean?

- I'm just curious about you, is it not okay?

The pale visage of Erin was innocent and kind, there was no malicious intent hidden from it or Flora couldn't decipher it. Flora began to doubt if it was wise or not to talk about her coming from another world. "Who would believe something like that?" she though, but at the same time if someone could help her, she could go back to her own world safely. Even if Erin didn't know herself a way, maybe someone from her surroundings could know something.

Her mind was settled, even if she would seems crazy in the eyes of Erin now, she might try to reach for help.

- I come from another world.

With this sentence, Flora evaluated the reaction of Erin. Depending on it, she would adjust what she would say. For the first few seconds, Erin didn't respond at all, a blank expression was set on her face. When the information was understood by her, her eyes widen like a cat focus on its toys.

- You come from another world?! Tell me more, how is it there? Do you have other instruments like this one you are holding?

Erin tried her best to contain her excitement but the information was too big to pass on it. Her careless nature made her gobble anything a stranger could say to her, luckily she came across Flora and not an ill intended person.

On the other hand there was Flora, she was submerged by all the questions of Erin. She was asking so much questions that Flora couldn't remember them, she also came closer to not miss a single thing she could say to her.

- Calm down, let me answer please.

Erin sat in haste and shut her mouth ready to hear all the things Flora had to say, from her world to her arrival in this world. They talked all the night about Flora and what happened to her, of course the insatiable thirst didn't stop until both of them fell asleep on the beds. When she was finally set for now, Erin mustered something that Flora could hear easily coming from the mouth of Erin.

- I have a friend that come from another world.

When Flora nearly said something like "It is a little too soon to say something like that." She realized that Erin was sound asleep and was just talking while she was dreaming. Her peaceful face made Flora smile and she fell asleep too next to Squirrel, that has been recuperating his energy for this hectic day.

When she opened her eyes, she was on a cliff, looking at the horizon. Down below her were a sea of clouds, the sun was setting and while going down it was like it set ablaze all the clouds at the same time. The scenery was one everyone could hope to see one day, suddenly but calmly a hand was on her shoulder. Normally, Flora would've repulsed the hand and start a fight with the person that tried touching her. But here the hand was familiar, when she looked up to see who was holding her tightly, it was a man with an athlete stature, he was wearing a worn out armor just like he was out of a battle. The bald man had fur covering his neck coming out of his armor, his tight grip was holding her firmly but tenderly too.

- Tomorrow is the day we end everything princess.

The girl Flora was trapped in right now didn't answer but she could feel her body. She wanted to cry and ask for the man to stay with her, to avoid going in this nightmarish place. Instead, being the princess of Asteria she did not dare to trespass her rank. Tears were filling her eyes but she stayed still.

- Will you wait for me when all of this is over? I have something I want to tell you.

The grip of the man lighten to let off completely of the shoulder of the princess. As the footstep of the man resonate behind her, all the tears she was holding flew in the wind. Flora understood that she was deeply in love of the man that was just there a moment ago, but she also knew deep within her that it was the last time they met from a life time. Flora was deeply touched by spectating this, she hope in her life she would have never to experience a pain like this.

When the princess finally stopped crying, new footstep could be heard behind her. Even if she hoped to be the previous man, this was a completely different person.

- Princess Elysia, time has come, we must go.

The sadden girl turned around to see another familiar face, it was Etoile Light, the second of the Five. Seeing from a different point of view, Flora was shocked at the beauty of the woman with wings in front of her. She had a serene smile on her face in nearly all the circumstances. Without saying anything the princess advanced in the direction of the angelic woman standing in front of her. She turned around to look a last time behind her, to engrave this scenery in her mind for the rest of her life. The night was set and from the other side of the floating island, the moon was rising slowly. The long shadow of Elysia covered the ground to reach the end of the cliff.

At this moment Flora woke up, tears were flowing of her eyes, this dream was so vivid she still feel the sadness of the princess she dreamed of. She sat up on her bed to see a Squirrel tightly hugging her, he too seems like he had a bad dream. She turned around to look for Erin but her bed was tidied and no one was in it anymore. In the living room there was no one too. "Did she left while she was asleep?" She at least wanted to thank her for the room and the meal, thanks to her she didn't have to spend the night outside with all those terrifying creatures.

At the same moment, the plank holding the door frame moved. Flora was on guard but a familiar face passed through the door, Erin looked curiously at Flora, then she lift her arms up with a big smile on her face.

- I got the breakfast!

In her hand she got some fruits and eggs of a different color she had the habit to see, those were green with yellow stains. Erin replace the door and go directly to the table to start cooking their breakfasts. Squirrel that passed dinner rushed to her, he smelled something he liked. Like a squirrel on a tree, he turn around her, sometime climb her to search in her pockets. Finally he found nuts to eat, when he found the thing he wanted, he immediately left Erin to go back to the side of Flora.

- Well, I see someone who's hungry.

Then she looked at Flora and asked her worried.

- Did you sleep well?

She asked this because she heard Flora cry in her sleep. She didn't know the reason but to lighten the mood up, she decided to fetch something to eat. This was the way of Erin to cheer her mood up and it might work for Flora too.

- I had a weird dream but I feel better after spending a good night sleeping, thanks Erin.

A smile appeared on the side of the mouth of Erin.

- Don't mind it and come eat it while it's freshly cut, that's when it is the tastiest!

Flora could see Erin held up and not eat everything because there was a light strand of saliva going down her mouth while she was looking at the eggs and vegetables. With this new day starting, Flora made a precious friend that might have saved her life if she didn't show her this hiding place around. She hope to get back to her own world one day but exploring this one with a trusted friend might be a good idea too.
