There was a girl and a boy who loved each other for a decade. One day, the boy decided to leave, and so before he goes, both of them agreed to meet and brought some of the things and memories they have. They put all of it in a box and they called it Memories and decided to lock it and to never open it again, but they only have one key. The boy said to the girl that he does not want to keep the key to the box, and the girl said she also doesn't want to keep the key because she's afraid that maybe she cannot contain herself and open it again. 

And so, they left the box under a tree. Locked it up and left the key, still attached to its padlock. The boy left, and the girl not wanting to leave all of the memories, chose to stay a little longer. 

Days turns into weeks and weeks turned into months.

The girl finally left the box under the tree and both of them have forgotten the box. 

The boy had a new girl, and the girl had a new boy. The girl still sometimes think about the boy, but she knows he is happy. 

A year have passed, one day the boy came back to the village where he grew up. He met all of his old friends and acquaintances, and on his way home he stumbled upon the tree and saw that the box is still there with the key and padlock in it. It was full of dust. 

He suddenly have an urge to open it and take a look inside. 

As he was looking and unboxing everything that was on it, he started to feel sad and cried. He knew he made a mistake of leaving the girl. He realised that he had left his one great love for a freedom which he thought would make him very happy. He thought that leaving the girl, he can be as happy as he wanted to be without knowing that the true happiness lies where he left it. 

He was searching for happiness and freedom without realising that he already found it. And now he thought it was too late. He does not have true friends. He lost his best friend. His life were unstable. He wanted his life back, he wanted the girl to go back so desperate that he wrote a letter to her, saying all his past regrets and sorry for all the pains he've cause when he  left her on the time she needed him. Pouring his heart out to his letter, he didn't notice that a storm is coming. 

The wind blew so strong and scattered the memories from the box. All the things which they have put in there. Old letters, pictures, movie tickets and so on.  The boy tried to catch everything but the wind was so strong he wasn't able to catch all. He gathered what was remained and decided to close the box unlocked. He wished for something impossible. He wished that the girl might show up there, so that he can give his letter to her. He waited. 

One day, two days.. one week but no girl came. So he decided to leave his letter on the top of the box and put a rock above it, he was hoping that maybe one day the girl would somehow visit the tree and see his letter for her. 

But a storm came, and the letter was blown away by a strong wind and rain.  


News reached to the girl about the storm coming in her village, so she went to visit her family and see if they were all okay. She stayed there for a week.

On the day she was leaving her village, she dropped by the Tree convincing herself "I would like just to have a look. I will not go near it, I just wanted to see if the box is still there." 

She keeps on battling to herself if it is a right idea for her to visit the Tree or not, but in the end she went along. She looked at the tree from a distance. She didn't dare to get closer to it, for she feared that she might unlocked it. She saw the box, still sitting there, unmoved. A little tear outside, maybe because of the storm and the wind but it still stand there. She noticed from the distance that the lock is open. And the key was not there. 


On her way home, she wondered if the boy took the key. She wondered if he had somehow unlocked the box. She wondered if the boy still thinks of her. If so, why he hadn't keep in touch. She wondered if he is really happy with his life now. She wondered why was the box unlocked. She wondered if all their memories were inside, if it still there or it is just an empty box sitting under the tree. She was full of questions but afraid of what might the answers. 

But after a while, she moved on with her life and leave the thought behind. She thought it is not necessary whether the box is locked or not because it would not make any sense after all. She has to focus on the now. Memories are just a memory. 

It has been a year and 8 months since they both left the box they called Memories. 

On the 2nd year, There was a big wedding celebration in their old village and a lot of people were invited. It was a wedding of one of their close friends and the girl and the boy were both invited.

Both decided to come. Both wished that the others would come. Both wanted to see each other. Both missed each other. 

And so the wedding day came, they saw each other but both was too shy to approach each other. Just a polite wave. The boy would just stare at the girl from afar. The girl would snatch some distant look. 

And as the celebration was close to an end, friends from old village began gathering around, took photos as a memory and one of their old friends decided to take a photo of the two together. 

They were all gathered in a small group drinking. As the night would soon come to an end, the boy needed to leave and suddenly wrapped his arms around the girl and whispered "i miss you" before he left. The girl was surprised she didn't know what to say. All this time and the only words that come out of her mouth was "take care." And that ended the night. 

For the next couple of days, they stayed in the village, when one morning as the girl was taking a walk around town when he saw a familiar face under the tree. It's the boy. Seated on a rock it's as if he was waiting for her. She hesitated for a moment. Thinking maybe It was a wrong tree. Maybe she was just hallucinating. She tried to close her eyes and open it again after a few seconds, but the boy is still there. Waving at her, asking her to join him.  

So there they were, under that same old tree, with the box of Memories they once gathered. They talked. They reminisce. They were both laughing and smiling as they delicately unboxing all the memories they packed together. They wondered how they are still comfortable as if not 2 years have passed by between the two of them. The same comfort. That same  familiarity. It's as if they never left each other. They talked about their lives after that. They talked how they were. They talked about their old plans together. They talked about their jobs and how they were coping. They were happy, happiness they somehow forgot to remember. Happiness they never got to experience on their everyday life since that day they left the Tree. They longed for each other. It was clear. But they couldn't be together. 

The meet up continued for three days. They talked, they did what they did before when they were a couple. They eat up on their favourite restaurant. They sang. They dance. They watched a movie, visit old friends, visit old places they once hang out. And they drink. The girl had the courage to ask the boy why he took the keys on the box. The boy told her about what happened on the day of the storm. 

The girl was shocked. She couldn't believe what she just heard. She was speechless. The boy learned that he was a week too late. 

The girl told the boy that she was also under that same tree, waiting for him. A week before the storm came. She told him she was having second thoughts on her boyfriend. That she knew she would take him back again only if he ask her. That she realised that it was him she still want to marry and that she couldn't love another man more that she loved him. But days passed, there was no sight of the boy and she thought there were no sense waiting on something in which there are no signs of coming back, a storm was coming on that day so she had no choice but to leave that Sunday afternoon. 

The boy said that he heard of the coming storm and thought of the box of memories under the tree. He wanted to protect it. He wanted to keep it where it is safe. He went there on a Monday morning. But the box was too heavy to carry. So he decided to wait for her, maybe the girl would also care about the memories and will help him to carry it on a safe and dry place. 

He told her that some of the memories were scattered by the wind as he could not get all of it. He also told her about the letter he wrote. And they both cried. The girl never had the chance to read the letter. 

There were so many things they wanted to say to each other, but time seems to fly so fast, 
Both of them needed to leave the village, but decided to keep in touch. The girl knew that the boy is still with his girlfriend. The girl didn't tell to the boy that she ended her relationship with her boyfriend. She didn't feel the need to tell him, and he also didn't ask. 

So she left it like that. As they both leave, they both have the copy of their picture together at the night of the wedding day. They took it along with themselves because that was a new memory for them. 

They both moved on with their normal life ahead, several miles away from that village, away from that tree, away from the box they called Memories but somehow there was a piece of them that stayed. Both were wondering about the box that was left unlocked. And the wind still brings back the scattered memories of them every now and then. 


You see, the problem is, the boy left the box unlocked and the girl was left wondering if she would gather the memories together and keep it locked again in the box and throw the key where both of them will no longer can open it or if she would just leave it there, unlocked, until it gets weary and old. Unknown. Forgotten.

Would one of them choose to gather them all again?,pick up the pieces where they left and try to fix it again or would they just choose to leave it old and dusting under the tree and let the wind and the storm carry it to someplace they can no longer reach. Would they start to take a new box a name it "New memories"?, or would they just have their own box and fill it with nonsense with someone they never wish to be with in the first place but then have to? Because one of them is not sure of the other. And neither of them were asking if they would this time choose to stay or permanently leave.

"Ok, let me explain it to you a little bit more properly this time." Alex said as he pointed his finger, more specifically at the kimono woman, the little boy and the bratty teen. "You see the three of them? There's something that they should have been doing now, yet they are still not doing it."

"You mean…"

"Yes, these three, even if they have the chance to attack right now, are not doing it." Alex said as he glanced at the Travelers. "That, in itself was already suspicious."
Alex then continued talking before Alina could give a retort.
"Sure, the kimono woman made an attack earlier, but she did not make another attack after that. Why would she stop attacking, especially when she has the chance to do so with all of these free time?"

"Maybe she is just biding for time?"

"No, she is not biding for time. That's too wasteful." Alex replied as he shook his head. "Do you really want to know why those three are not attacking now? The answer to that is just simple. Those three right now, cannot really attack as freely as they could. That's just as simple as that."

"Alex, how did you arrive to that conclusion? Maybe you are just doing wild guesses here."

"Nope, I'm fairly sure this time." Alex replied as he looked at the enemy Traveler Team. "In my opinion, these people that we see above are copies of the original, which I already explained earlier. Since they are copies, there are bound to be some weaknesses from these copies. And one of that weakness could be…"

"The quality of the copies." Alina said before Alex could finish his sentence. "There is no way that the original object will have the same power as the copy, since the copy was just an imitation of the original. Sure, it can have the same abilities and actions, but its power and quality will never be the same as the original."

"That's right. Copies must have been fundamentally weaker than the original." Alex replied as he smiled wryly. "That is the reason why these Celestials could not even make a dent on our shield earlier. Their power was just weaker than the usual. We did not notice it since we are too preoccupied with defending ourselves."

"As for the Traveler Team, they do not have that kind of safeguard." Alina nodded as she cupped her chin. "If they attack right now, we will surely feel that their attacks are weaker, and once we discover that, we could gain the courage  to fight them."

"Exactly. As for the attack by the kimono woman earlier, she only did that to throw us off-guard, to make us panic for some time." Alex said as he let out a deep breath. "That strategy of hers worked, and if it were not for your eyes, we might not have discovered about the truth."
Now that Alex was sure that these people above them are just copies and are weakened version of the originals, he felt both worried and relieved.

Alex was worried, because of the fact that these Celestials had decided to use some fakes to attack them. Why attack them that way? Are they planning on doing something different?
Alex on the other hand was also relieved, since with the confirmation of the enemy's weakness, Alex now had the confidence to attack and annihilate their invaders.

"Since they are just copies, there should be no problem if we go all out and kill them all, right?" Alex thought to himself as let out an excited smile. "Hehehe, now I can-
"Boom!" Alex's thoughts were cut-off as he heard a booming sound behind him.

"Alex! We have planted it already!" Queen Mother and Professor Frances, who both looked worn out right now, said as they gave Alex a thumbs-up, indicating that they were done with their task.

"Good!" Alex replied as he nodded to the both of them. "Okay, now that you are done with that, let me deal with Lingo right now. He needs to be used already."

"MILORD, I CAN HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING…." Lingo, who looked slightly pale from what he had went through, looked at Alex intently as he seemed to let out a sigh. "MILORD YOU SEEM TO BE IN A PINCH. DO YOU NEED MY ASSISTANCE FOR THIS?"



"Hell yes, of course I have to use you now." Alex replied as he glared at Lingo. "Otherwise, what use would you be for me?"

"AS EXPECTED, MILORD REALLY IS SO STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT'S AN HONOR FOR ME TO SERVE YOU!" After Lingo said these words, Alex suddenly felt the appearance of chain, with its one end tied to Lingo, and other end tied around Alex. 

The chain seemed to be both material and ethereal, with Alex feeling unsure if he should touch it.

Before Alex could make the decision regarding these chains, he heard Lingo's voice above him.

"MILORD, THIS CHAIN THAT YOU SEE HERE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF THE UNBREAKABLE PACT. SINCE THIS IS ONLY A REPRESENTAION, ONLY US TWO CAN SEE IT."
"…"

"ONCE WE MAKE THE PACT, WE WILL BE CONNECTED BY THIS CHAIN. IF SOMEONE OF US VIOLATES THE PACT, THIS  CHAIN WILL BRING US TO OUR DEATH."

"Ok, ok, I already get it. Can we start now?" Alex said, as he saw their shield getting more and more cracks again, which was not a really good case right now.
"EHEM IN THAT CASE, I, LINGO OF THE DIVINE RACE, HEREBY PLEDGES LOYALTY TO MILORD ALEX AND I EXTEND THIS LOYALTY TO HIS ALLIES. I WILL NEVER USE MY POWER AGASINT HIM OR HIS ALLIES, AND I WILL ALWAYS BE OF HELP TO HIM. SHOULD I BREAK THIS PLEDGE, MAY THE CHAINS OF OUR PACT BE MY UNDOING." Lingo said all of these words with unmistakable solemnity, which made Alex feel respect for this man.

"Ok, ok, since you made that pledge, then I pledge to be a just and proper master to you. Should I break that pledge, May The Chains of Our Pact be my Undoing!"

"Sklink!" After saying these words, Alex immediately felt the sensation of something warm entering his chest.  
He looked down, and he saw the end of the chain entering chest, seemingly finding itself inside there. 

As he watched what was happening, he saw the chain disappearing in his sight, although he could still feel it exisiting inside him.

It was a weird feeling, as if your body was being penetrated by something that you cannot see, but you can still feel it. 
Alex did not dwell thinking about this as he looked at Lingo.

"From what I can see, the pact is a success."

"OF COURSE MILORD. WITH YOUR MIGHTY PRESENCE, THERE'S NO WAY THAT IT WILL FAIL!"


"Enough with the pleasantries. So, how should I free you now? Do you want me to cut those chains?

Of course Alex was not sure if he can really cut the chains, but still he had to ask Lingo.
Lingo seemed to be just calm at Alex's question as he slowly replied,

"MILORD, THERE'S NO NEED FOR YOU TO MAKE THAT EFFORT. SINCE YOU MANAGED TO COME AT THIS PLACE, IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU HAVE THAT KEY THAT CAN FREE ME. USE THAT KEY, AND I WILL BE FREE ALREADY."

"Wait, when you said key, are you talking about this one?" Alex hurriedly pulled out the Blue Key, which was laying dormant on the storage earlier.
 To Alex's surprise, he saw that the Blue Key is glowing again, which made him look at it with incredulity.

"THAT'S IT MILORD! THAT IS THE KEY! NOW QUICK, PLEASE USE IT ON ME!" Lingo shouted with urgency as he stared at the Blue Key hungrily. 

"Wait, where should I even place this? Do I have to go underground for this?"

"YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THAT MILORD. JUST DESTROY THE KEY, AND THE CHAINS BINDING ME WILL DISAPPEAR."

"Wait, I have to destroy this key? Are you sure that doing that won't be detrimental to us?'
"MILORD, I ASSURE YOU THAT EVERYTHIGN WILL BE FINE. I AM NOT PLANNING ON SCREWING YOU OVER HERE. WE ALREADY HAVE A PACT, RIGHT."

"He's not lying Alex." Alina muttered behind Alex as she kept a tight hold on her katana. "Just… follow what he said."

"Well then, here we go." Alex said as he covered his hand with Destruction Aura, then used his hand to crush the key inside his palm.

"Crunch."

Alex expected the key to last longer, but to his surprise, the key only lasted for around a second, before it crumbled into nothingness.

"Wow, that is a weak-ass key. Good thing I did not try destroying it earlier." Alex muttered to himself as he unclenched his palm. "Now then, let's see what happens to my new servant."

After muttering these words to himself, Alex looked back at Lingo to see what was happening to him, and to his delight, he found a great sight in front of him.

The Origin Devouring Chains, which had been tormenting Lingo for long, had fully dissipated away right now, as if the key's destruction led to the destruction of the chains too.

Lingo's body, which was covered with these chains earlier, was now displayed in full glory.

As for Lingo, he looked like he was about to laugh and cry, and he actually managed to do both.

"HAHAHAHUHUHU! I'M FREE! I'M FREE!" Lingo shouted these words loudly into the air, with shockwaves being produced from his mouth.

'HAHAHA, AT LONG LAST, I CAN WANDER FREELY AGAIN!"
"…."

At the instant that Lingo was freed, the Celestials, who were busy attacking earlier, suddenly stopped attacking, with them deactivating all of their weapons.

The Symbolists, who saw what had happened, started to cheer, as if they thought that Lingo's freedom had scared the Celestials.

Alex also thought of the same thing, at least until he felt something weird coming from the Celestials.

These Celestials, instead of feeling fear, were instead filled to the brim with happiness right now.

It was as if Lingo being free made the Celestials so elated.

The kimono woman, who Alex was wary of, was also feeling extreme happiness too. And beside that happiness, there were also some smugness, as if she had already reached her goal.
"Wait, why are they all happy that Lingo is freed? Don't tell me... that their plan all this time was to let Lingo be free? Oh s**t!" As Alex made this realization, he looked back at Lingo with panic on his face. "Lingo, follow my command now! Go run away and hide yourself! Do it right now, because if you don't, then-"


<<<THEN YOU SHALL BE SLAIN BY YOURS TRULY.>>> Another booming voice, which did not come from Lingo, was heard by everyone in the moon. 
The source of this voice this time was another gigantic creature, who was slowly descending from above.

This gigantic creature was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and 7 pairs of white wings adorning her back.
These wings were flapping slowly behind her,  as if they were assisting her on her flight.
On top of this woman's head was a golden tiara, which exemplified thus winged woman's beauty more.
This woman also had a serene smile on her face, which was enough to make anyone feel calm upon seeing her.
But for Alex, he could only feel extreme danger from this angel-like creature, whose blue eyes were staring intently at Lingo alone.

<<<SO, A FOUL CREATURE LIKE YOU REALLY EXISTS HERE. HOW DEPLORABLE.>>> The angel-like woman said as her hair fluttered behind her. <<<YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLAIN BY MY COMRADES BEFORE ALREADY. BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, THAT TASK HAS NOW FALLEN ON MY HANDS.>>>

"…"
Seeing that Lingo did not give any reply, the angel-like woman looked to be extremely infuriated
<<<HMPH, YOU FIEND, SINCE YOU ARE SPEECHLESS WITH FEAR, THEN MAYBE ITS TIME FOR YOU TO SAY GOODBYE TO THIS WORLD!>>> After saying these words, the angel-like woman started to glow white as she pointed her fingers at Lingo.

<<<WITH THE POWER BESTOWED BY THE HOLY ODER PLANE ITSELF, I, THE 14-WINGED ADJUDICATOR, SHALL EXACT A CLEANSING IN THS PLACE!>>>

After all the things that he had done in his life, Alex realized that it was already his time to die. 

But a sudden encounter with a weird person will turn his whole life around.

The formerly about-to-die teen shall now be a Traveler of different worlds!



"You are an Esper? Then come and taste my saber!"
"You are a Daoist? Then come and taste my fist!"
"You are a Genie? Well, can you grant me infinite wishes?"

Everyone shall witness Alex's rise on his endless journey!

In those 1 year 5 month we learned many think about each other like she didn't like eating sweets, even chocolates I don't understand how can a young girl like her didn't like chocolates, candies etc whereas there was no end for my sweet tooth and we often quarrelled each other about our restaurant choices.


What I didn't realize was I didn't know much about her life she had before she met me and neither did she ask for my past and here I am standing looking at the dead body of a young girl who became my best friend, my little sister, my everything and I didn't even know what happened to her.


I looked at the woman standing beside me and asked her in a hoarse voice " what happened to her?" she took my hand led me outside. We sat side by side in a hospital chair she was silent for a while as if collecting her thoughts about what she wanted to say.



" I met Key 10 years back when I was 15 and she was 8" I looked at her confused she understood what I was asking and replied " she was Kiera for everyone but for me she was Key I used to tell her she was Key to my happiness" I smiled when I heard how apt her description was she was a magical Key that brought happiness to all but now my heart is locked forever as my Key was lost"



Maya continued " we were sent to a private orphanage in the name of hostel my mom left me but arranged this prison for me to survive when I was 7 years old. I knew all does and don't but Kiera was innocent she didn't know the dark corners of this bright hostel, she was this bubbly girl who talked to everyone thus got some unwanted attention which she shouldn't have experienced.




I knew where this was going and I stood up not prepared to hear that, she held my hand as I was ready to leave I didn't want to know this ugly truth that she may have experienced. She was angry and annoyed at me "why do you have the tendency to run when you experience some bitterness in life, you can run but then you don't deserve to know about her" 



she stood up and prepared to leave " when you are not a coward contact me this is my card and as for Kiera I will make preparation for her you Don't have to worry about that". Echoes of her heels rang in the corridor and surprisingly it matched with my heart beat I analyzed what she said and I was not surprised to find that what she said was true.




I shouted " Stop tell me all about her I want to know I promise I will do anything and everything for her" I was anxious I didn't want my only link to mysteries of Kiera to leave me. she looked at my eyes as if testing my resolve and sat down beside me with a serious look she started " let me tell you what happened 10 years back"

Kane, Kiera and Maya they were separated by each other but connected with their fate, what will they seek will they achieve

I can now say that this past few years of my life...this past 7 years of my life is the happiest years of my life.

Like every moment is worth taking pictures, every moment is special and its worth to behold.

I can truly say that contentment is the key to happiness and happiness is the key to love.

This past few years with my family I didn't even think of going back instead I woke up every morning to move on to the future.

Every morning I'm excited to know what the future holds for me and my family.

Seven years of marriage is like.....WOW, I'm proud of myself of who I become today.

All the hardships fights we've been through, its all worth it because without that I didn't have the chance to prove my undying love for my loving spouse.

"This is Chase and Mase my twins and my daughter Shane" I carried Shane and the twins sat beside us in the couch that is infront of the camera.

Were currently in our entertainment company having an interview.

"Chase, he is 5 years old along with his twin brother and Shane is 3 years old"

"What is the one moment in your lives you want to relive?" The person behind the camera asked.

"Maybe the most happiest days of our lives, when we welcomed this 3 in the world" Hera looked at me lovingly.

Thats why I'm excited to work up everyday just to see the love of my life.

"We can always make another so no use of relive it" I joked but I got a hit on my head.

"Complete the sentence, Hera, If I'm in love.."

"I would be with my husband, saying I love you's in many ways I can" Hera answered.

"Primo, the last time I felt jealous, and why"

"Yesterday, at the cafe and SOMEONE hugged my wife" 

"Hera, the last person I hugged"

"Primo"

"Primo, 2 Habits"

"Making love with my wife and actually everything that is with her"

"Hera, If I forgive betrayals...."

"I'm contented"

"3 turn ons, Primo" 

"My wife, Hera, the mother of my children" I said quickly.

And the interview continues and once it ended we drove back to our house because its kinda late and the kids are fast asleep.

"Baby, I want to fuck you hard right now" I said while pinning her to the wall.

"Then fuck me" and with that I crashed my lips to hers.

Then I started to unbutton her clothes as well as mine.

And it went on in on we did it again and again until were exhausted.

"I love you, baby"

"I love you too, hubby"

It is light in the darkest night. It brings people to their knees. It is symbolic and powerful, yet proof less and criticized. It illuminates life and it wages war. It escapes some and captivates many. It is faith; to some it is doctrine, to others it is fiction.
Today's definition of faith doesn't have to relate to religion; it can be trust or belief in something without proof. But in today's society the invisible creates disbelief. People lack faith in all areas of their lives because they are looking for evidence. They are waiting for the ideal job, the perfect relationship and financial abundance. They are looking for something tangible—and as a result, they are still waiting. When the answer doesn't fall into their laps they become cynical and they lose faith.
I was riding in the elevator one morning and a gentleman was repeatedly pressing the button for the 5th floor, but it wasn't lighting up. I kindly told him that I too had pressed the same button and that the light didn't work. He laughed and said, "Are you sure we will still arrive?"
I said, "I have faith that the elevator will stop on the 5th floor, yes."
He looked at me long and hard and responded, "Really? I'm not sure I have that much faith. If it doesn't seem to work it must be broken." I said, "If we arrive on 5 will you be a believer then?" He said, "No, it takes more evidence than that."
What a powerful, symbolic statement. He lacked faith that he would arrive at his destination and for him this destination probably related to life itself. How many of you are so jaded by past experiences that you too have lost all faith and wonder if you are even on the right path?
I can relate to losing inspiration and faith. I spent three years working on a business venture that sucked the life out of my very existence, but I believed that I had to endure hardship to find happiness. I had lost hope that I would ever find passion or joy again. But my inner guidance knew better. I finally had to ask myself: Why is it okay to sacrifice even one day of my life in exchange for potential happiness, when I could be happy right now? I finally took a huge leap of faith and scrapped the entire project. I found strength in my inner wisdom, which knew that I deserved more.
What evidence do you need to rediscover faith in something or in yourself? Are you looking for a lightning bolt? Are you waiting for a lottery win? Have you considered asking for what you want or does it seem like too much to hope for? Have you searched your inner knowing to see what the block is to your own success or happiness? Are you able to recognize what you do have in life?
Today, stop and take pleasure in life's little miracles. Recognize that each day is a gift, and understand that every breath you take is a test of faith. If you need a little reminder, try these tips on how to find faith in your daily life:
Have Faith in Lessons Learned
First ask yourself, "Where did my faith go?" What triggered the feeling that you are unsupported? It is a past hurt? Is it a "bad" decision? Is fear playing a role? Sometimes fear tells us we can't have something and then we lose faith because it doesn't happen. If you can identify the origin, ask yourself what valuable lesson that experience might have taught you and where you may be repeating that same lesson today.
Affirm
Affirmations are very powerful. Even if you don't believe the words initially, your body absorbs the meaning cell by cell. Try, "I have faith in myself and the process of life. I am protected and joyful each and every day."
Check Your Pancreas
When the pancreas is imbalanced it carries the emotional energy of feeling defeated by life. Make sure you keep your blood sugar in check by eating every 3-4 hours and eliminating sugar. You may need to see a holistic practitioner to create a special diet or rebalance key minerals.
Look for Signs
Signs can come in all forms. It can be a song that you are meant to hear or a "coincidence" that repeats itself. Be specific about what kind of sign you need to see for an answer. For example, if you need to know whether to take that new job in Florida, ask for a certain number of signs that relate to Florida that can indicate a yes.
Dream big, expect the best and let go
The more you can imagine for yourself the bigger your life can be. The key is to believe that you are the designer of your destiny. Write out your ideal life like you already have it and then let go, trust and enjoy the ride.

"You are indeed correct, I am a dragon." -Ye Han
"Eh?" -Kobayashi and Tohru
Kobayashi drop the energy bar she was holding as she didn't expect her favorite restaurant was owned by a dragon who could cook like a god. While Tohru had her eyes sparkle like a light bulb, dragons always has a high pride so when she couldn't beat a human in cooking. Her pride shattered, but she instantly regain her pride after knowing Ye Han was a dragon. Tohru shouted with happiness in her voice 

"Senpai!! Teach me your ways!!"
Ye Han chuckled as Tohru took a notepad from her bag and started to write down all the basic cooking information that Ye Han spouted to kill time, Ada played Cards with Kanna, Riko, and Shouta while Fafnir and Takiya was playing with their gameboy. Lucoa was talking with Kobayashi about how much do they need to eat. Time flies fast as they arrived at Hot Spring Village within a few hours, Ye Han and Ada went ahead first since this is their relaxing moment. They already reserved a VIP room at a famous Hot Spring Inn, Ye Han checked in while Ada sat down and read a pamphlet about things to see in Hot Spring Village. 

The Receptionist who was a girl was blushing as she took a few glances at Ye Han, Ada who could feel someone taking a glance at her husband was proud but also a bit piss. She thought of creating a charm to ward off women, any wife would want for their husband to only look at them and pamper them. Ada is the same, she stood up and hug Ye Han behind, the receptionist who is single felt a stab in her heart, she gloomily gave the Key card. Ye Han who isn't dense like any original MC chuckled as he notice Ada's dominance towards him, he was lucky Ada isn't a Yandere. Little did he know Ada had a few thoughts of trapping him in the house so she could only be the one to see him.

Ye Han left the baggage at their room which was very big, they even have a private small hot spring room to which Ye Han thought of many naughty things to do with Ada. Ada just giggled as she already know what he was thinking, she grabs his hand and lead the way. The first location that they went for was the temple which was known for good luck blessing, There were only a few people around since it is not the right season to go to a Hot spring. Never the less, the village is open for business. Ada took a coin and threw it in the box in front of the Shrine, it is one of the tradition where you need to throw a coin in the box so you can wish for something. Ada wished for everlasting happiness.

While Ye Han wished that nothing bad will happen for their daughters. After praying their wish, Ye Hand and Ada went to a family restaurant since it was already lunch time. Ye Han ordered a Hamburg steak while Ada ordered a Katsu Curry, while they were waiting for a meal. Ye Han's Phone vibrated, he opened his phone and saw a message from Totsuki Culinary Academy it was about what topic he should teach this Wednesday. Ye Han shakes his head as he doesn't follow any rule when he teaches, he put the phone down and looks at Ada. He said 

"So what should we name our child?"
"Hmmn, if its a girl then I want the name to be Ye Ai and if its a boy, he should be name as Ye Fu!"
"Hmn love and Luck, it sounds wonderful." 
They continue to talk as their food was served. The food in this village was delicious, but it still couldn't be compare to Ye Han's cooking. After lunch, they went to every sightseeing spot nearby and they took a picture. When they arrived back at their Inn, they saw Kobayashi and the gang inside, Tohru greeted them

"Hello, Sensei and Ada san..."
"Hello, Tohru" -Ada
Ye Han just nodded and went to the duty free shop since it was closed this morning, he saw shout was looking at a golden dragon sword key chain. He spoke with a gentle expression

"Golden dragon sword, isn't it cool?"
"*unconsciously nod* yea....h" 
"So you gonna buy it or your just gonna stare at it?"
"*hesitating* B..but doesn't it look childish?"
"Childish? why does a cool key chain has something to do being childish?"
"uuh*blushes*"
Shouta was a bit embarrass as he was only thinking of it in a single perspective and not outside the box, Ye Han took two and gave one to Shouta who only looks at him with questioning gaze. Ye Han said with a smile

"Look at Fafnir and Takiya, they still play games and watch cartoon animation. Is that childish?, no its a choice that they made to enjoy their free-time in life. Being Childish only represent that you want to do something like a child again, it isn't a bad or embarrassing word but a temporary status."
Ye Han gave him a head pat and took some souvenir for his daughters, Shouta who gain enlightenment began to smile. Ye Han paid for his key chain and his stuff, Fafnir and Takiya was holding two bags of souvenir while Lucoa hugged Shouta who was starting to steam up from the big boobs on top of his head. Ye Han and Ada said farewell and went to their room, he spoke with a mischievous intention

"Lets enjoy the private hot spring.*smirk*"

It's been hundreds of thousands of years; Xael has lost count of how many times she was transmigrated. Yes, she was continuously transmigrated into several of profile from the lowest to the highest characters one could think of ever since she operated the Afterlife 0021.
Who would imagine that what Willow said was almost accurately correct on what she's doing. 
"No happiness is given without effort and sacrifice, if you want 'your' regrets to be fulfilled, then fulfill all the regrets 'you' have".
For thousands of times, Xael did her best to satisfy the regrets her current identity has. From revenge to wishes, from dirtiest to purest and finally, she was able to obtain immeasurable knowledge from her so called training.
.
✽Willow: [ Congratulations sweetcheeks! You're now ready for the real game! ]
✽Apollo: [ The host was also able to complete the worlds amazingly. This guarantees that success of gathering the keys we needed in no time. ]
.
After entering the first world in her training session, Willow and Apollo slowly explained the real deal of the current events.
The moment that Xael has activated the project, the three of them was required to pass several tests, unfortunately only she alone was able to pass through all of them.
Zeether was then sealed in a reddish glass coffin covered in different chains and locks while Xyther was placed in a similar one with the shade of violet, the only difference is that Xyther only has one large purplish lock. This is like a standby mode.
In other perspective, the locks is the empty spaced that each of the person needed to have in order to pass the test the system mentioned while the keys are the series of data Xael has to collect in order to fill that space. If she did, then the three of them could finally live in peace.
The locks in Zeether's coffin has respective keys divided into three sets; the body set with three keys, the spirit set with seven keys, and the soul set with only a single key. Yet it was unexpected that during those years in training, Xael was not able to obtain a single piece.
In the end, Apollo explained that the keys will only appear when she finishes her true mission.
On the other hand, Xyther's key was finally in her hands.
Who would ever do some work without gaining even a single thing from the end, for someone like Xael who would only move her bone if she wants to, it was impossible to instill her into earning experience with insufficient reasons.
Though it was essential in order to obtain the qualifications in the requirements, the experience she painstakingly gathered was actually the key on Xyther's lock.
Xael, who's holding an experience key, stood in front of the purplish glass coffin. She gazed at her sons face. "My son."
As she finally inserted the key, it glowed with variations of violet lights. Excited on what's happening, Xael crouched down before slowly opening the lid of the purplish glass coffin.
"…ma…mie~…"
"My… little bun…?"
Instead of freaking out more and question anyone, Xael didn't even batted an eye as she stretched out her arm to pick up her son who's now in a form of a toddler before hugging it like her life depends on it.
Xael who usually cried loudly wept as if she's hiding her tears, slightly making space between them, she gazed at the face of her son before giving his nose a peck. "My little bun… my precious…" She then again gave Xyther a soft kiss on his forehead.
Wanting to share the happiness to her husband, Xael turned to look at the other coffin before finding it empty. 
After being silent for a moment, "...wǒde mā ya*! Zeether!" 
She was so stunned that her legs almost faltered while Xyther was clueless on her mother's worry.
Xael tried to stride in front of his husbands coffin when a large mahogany door similar to the one back then emerges, it opened on her path that Xael was not able to stop her steps and directly entered it.
Inside, countless tinge of bright colors encircled her, Xyther who was in her arms snuggle up close to her, not in a scared way but in a stance that is trying to protect her mother.
Xael was clearly touched on her son's action when Willow's voice echoed in her ear.
.
✽ Willow: [ Sweetcheeks, I'm sorry to cut your moment but there's a problem going on with the whole Ethereal Void Space. Right now, you're about to undergo abrupt transmigration. I really apologize that your first real world would be like this. ]
.
"What is happening!? Explain this to me, Willow." Xael was now worried; her husband's body was missing, her son turned into a kid, and now this unexpected transmigration, this is enough to make her crazier.
.
✽Willow: [ The project was infected by a virus. It tried to snatch your husband and son's data but Apollo tried to stop it. We didn't stand a chance, the virus was too strong. Xyther was reduce to this state while Zeether, he was taken away with Apollo. I can still feel their brain waves through my sensor though their location is still unclear; completing the keys is currently the only way to bring the both of them back. About the transmigration, the Ethereal Void Space will enter a purification stage, the host, sweetcheeks, is restricted in that subject. ]
.
Xael wanted to speak but found no words escaping from her mouth; she looked at her son as she slowly caresses the boy's cheek. "I was too naïve. Just like when Zeether and Xyther died, I became too at ease, thinking that everything will never change." she sighed before continuing. "I'm so stupid for falling into this kind of trap again."
Willow, who was ready to comfort her stopped, it was not because she was out of something to say but because Xael's eyes didn't held any signs of anxiety or depression, and it was still clear like ice. 
"I didn't back down before, why would I back down now. I already challenged the heaven and hell; just a virus won't make me fall so easily." As Xael said those words, Willow smiled to herself assured. 
Xael who's almost blind because of the lights were suddenly covered by darkness. She knew what's going on; the transmigration has finally taken effect. She slowly opened her eyes, glancing around; the first thing she did was to look for is her son.  
.
✽Willow: [ Worry not, Sweetcheeks. Your baby is here with me. ]
✽Xyther: [ Mamie~! Mamiee~! ]
.
Knowing that her little bun is safe, Xael heaved a sigh. It's no used fighting and trying to return to the Ethereal Void Space as it's not possible to open the portal if she's already transmigrated to the world, it would definitely cause unbalance and chaos. Unless she dies, she wouldn't be able to comeback. 
"Wait for me, Xyther. I just need to bring your father back. I'm sorry that we have to be parted again but I won't make the same mistakes twice." She again closed her eyes as she begins to prepare for her first world.

✤ ✽ ∗ -- - - - - - - -

What does it mean to fall in love? 
Everyone has their own definition when it comes to this powerful words, some are negative while others are positive, a number may care but there's still a few who didn't.

But in what category does Xael's love fit in.
For her fated one, she'll turn impossible to possible.
For that man, she'll break through even heaven and hell.
For Zeether, she'll destroy every ending that could rip them apart.

✤ ✽ ∗ -- - - - - - - -

Xael and Zeether has always been the perfect couple, they are both powerful and smart, more importantly, they possessed the love that anyone would envy about. They would share their laughs and pains, go through every trouble and success, even share their tiniest secrets. Xael thought that the only thing that would break them apart is when they are six feet below the ground leaving the world when they are older.

But she was very wrong.

That day, every thing changed. It should have been the happiest moment of her life but what welcomed her was the death of her very beloved. 

Due to depression, Xael has made one of the biggest decision of her life.

"I just need to destroy the end of our love, even your death will never break us apart. I will follow you even if I have to turn everything into ashes. I won't let you go. You are mine and I am yours. "

In a place, eerily dark, Chenglei was confused as he didn't know where he was. No matter how much he tried to look, he couldn't even find even a single clue as to where he was or how he could get out. And with darkness everywhere, he staggered around, trying to find a way out. 
'Where am I? How long am I here? How do I get out? '
He panicked, his head hurt as there was a pulsating pain in his head that made him disoriented and just as he was about to lose hope, his wife's face came to his view. 
'No! I have to get out of here! She would be worried. That dumb woman needs me!' 
The moment he thought about her, Chenglei saw the small keyhole which was the only bright thing in there and he naturally gravitated towards it. He was always filled with darkness but he didn't like it and that's why light always attracted him. Especially that gentle light of his wife that always shone for him, assuring him.
He felt something heavy in his chest pocket and it felt like a key.
"Is this the key to open the door?", he wondered and as he put the key in the keyhole, he heard an eerie voice, followed by an evil laughter. 
"If you open the door.... You will lose the most precious thing to you..."
"My precious thing?", Chenglei's hand froze.
JiaXing?
I'll lose JiaXing if I open this door?
Should I not open the door then?
Just as Chenglei was pondering, he could hear a laughter as pleasing as the sound of flowing streams, soothing... It wasn't clear but felt like it was spoken inside water. 
Or... 
'Am I inside water? 
Doesn't matter... 
What is that I hear? 
The laughter of a child...' 
Chenglei listened carefully. 
" Chenglei.... Ha..ha..ha... Did you think I died? Ha.. Ha..ha... Snake venom doesn't affect me... Ha...ha...ha... Look at your face... Oh, my Prince.... You look like you are the one dead... "
"JiaXing?", Chenglei felt a tug in his heart hearing that innocent laughter and he knew it was her voice. She is talking to him,after all. 
Wait! So this room contains my memories...? 
Without any second thoughts he turned the key and went inside the room while that voice grunted in displeasure. 
The spells Zhu Rong had put to seal his memories already had started to weaken by his decision to look for his memories and Mazu's spell weakened it a lot more. 
He opened the room and the light from inside filled out the darkness outside making everything bright.
With the pain in his head intensifying, he stepped inside the room taking back the key in his hand. The moment he stepped in, the door locked itself up once more leaving him standing alone in the white room filled with gentle, light that oddly made him feel peaceful. His headache gradually reduced as he looked around.
There was no one!
"JiaXing?", he called and at the same time he saw a boy by his side and he looked awfully familiar.
The dragon embroidered white silk robes, the silver coronet.... Is it me? I look so young... And cold! 
Chenglei touched the young him and the next moment he felt a chill and as he looked around, he could see the snow covered mountains with green shrubbery.
Chenglie felt cold not only because of the surroundings but also by the feelings in his heart. 
His heart was filled with bitterness and hatred... Killing intent... so dark and so heavy... Like he was carrying a thousand pounds. Like a horse burdened with a cumbersome load, he felt suffocated with the dark emotions clouding his mind and ruling his heart. 
'Is this how I used to feel in the past? It's familiar. So what changed...? Meeting her..? 
Wait... I'm seeing and feeling everything.... So am I inside my memory?' 
Chenglei's heart was filled with wonder as he took a step forward.
A soft giggle entered his ears from the distance and he walked in that direction.
There she was....
'This is our first meeting?' 
In a green dress, hair dark as a raven, lips red like cherry blossom petals, bundled like a bun.... Playing with...
'Wait... What?
She is playing with white tiger cubs?
Why does this looks familiar?
Ah, that painting!
There was supposed to be a big tiger too....
Wait... My heart.... It is racing...
Did I fall in love at this moment?
That's a child... And I fell in love with a child.. How pathetic...! Wait... I'm a child too... So it's fine'
Chenglei felt his heart feeling light and the darkness gradually reducing watching her innocent face playing happily with those tiger cubs. He could feel, The load in his heart lightening... 
'No... A tiger! '
He could see himself pulling his sword and trying to fight off the mother tiger. 
'Ah! I too was dumb! ', he laughed in his heart, 'How could I fight off an adult tiger? That too a mother tiger trying to protect her cubs? ' 
But then she was the one who pounced on the tiger and she was playing with those tigers like they were house cats.
The euphoria he felt watching her... It was awfully similar to what he feels whenever he is with her now...
Followed by that, he loved through every memory of her he had forgotten.
The assassination attempt. 'I'm not the cool one like she said... She saved me! She saved me! Dumb woman... Why didn't you know that? Why didn't you tell me you lighted up my dark and bitter world? ' 
That day he accidentally hurt her... 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry I hurt you...'
That day at the pond, 'My moon... My moon.... You really are my moon. I'm glad you found me and I will protect you for the rest of our lives...'
The days he watched her from the distance... 'I'm glad you are near me now, Xing!'
One by one, all the memories came back to him and the feelings associated with those memories too.
Right till he said 'Yes' to that goddess. Only  now did he notice the little smirk on that cruel goddess' face when he agreed to her terms. 
'Oh, Xing! I really thought you would be the one forgetting the past... But I know I was wrong. I should have trusted you.. You said you will live... You warned me not to get involved with gods. But I made that deal, stupidly!' 
'Forgive me, my moon! I hurt you' 

But... 


Oh, how different is his story from hers... The same story with different perception is entirely different.
'My moon! You saved me, changing my fate... You were shining bright in my life leading me to happiness. Why did you say that I gave up everything for you? You were the one who gave everything of mine. I had nothing of my own... Everything I owned, was after I met  you... Silly woman!
 I was an exiled Prince with nothing in my hands and now I'm the richest man in the kingdom. You are the reason, my moon! '
His heart was filled with various emotions and he knelt right there.
Happiness that he could remember their past, regret he felt knowing how much he had hurt her by forgetting her.... 
All the emotions made him frozen for sometime. But then it dawned on him. 

'What am I doing? How long am I going to loiter around here? I did all that and hurt her but she still loves me... She loves me! I should tell her... I should tell her I remember our past! I should go home now and hug her close and kiss her.
 My love, my moon, my light... I love you! 
I should tell her... '
As Chenglei decided, he could see the walls of the room crumbling.
' What is going on? I should leave immediately, to my wife.... My wife who still loves me and waiting for me'
He proceeded to the door when he heard the eerie voice of the goddess who cheated him, once again and he clenched his fists in anger. 
Everything went this way because she lied  and told him that his wife was dead. But he composed himself as he tried to figure out this strange place he was in. He should figure out the exit. 
'What is she still doing here? From what my Xing told me, she shouldn't be here since she was punished... So could this be the remains of the spell that is binding my memory?'
Chenglei could figure out this much since Xing tells him everything and he listens to her whether he understands it or not and whether he found it relevant or not.
"If you leave with her memories, she will die... That's the deal you made, remember?", Zhu Rong's voice filled with dark and bitter emotions rang in the room already falling apart.
Chenglei felt a deep pain in his heart.
'Yes! That's the stupid deal I made. So the deal is still on even if the goddess I made the deal with is no more? Will my Xing die if I regain my memories?'
His heart wavered.
'No! Just no!'
"Liar!", he screamed and the rumbling noise of the room collapsing intensified.
"You lie! My Xing will not die!", he threw the jade key in his hand on the door and it broke to shills.
He was sure! He was sure of what his wife told him. She told him the Heavenly Emperor gave her the authority to choose her own day and means of death. 
'I trust my Xing. She will not die today!' 
With the key breaking, the entire room collapsed and the entire place lit up. He saw the light in that place leading to the exit and he walked through the pathway.
As he reached  the end of the pathway he could hear his brother and her brother speaking in a sullen voice.
At the end there was a bright light and as he walked into it, he woke up. He blinked his eyes several times since his eyelids felt heavy. The headache has completely gone and his heart was filled with happiness.
'Now I can go home to my wife and tell her!'
He sat up straight suddenly and the blood rushed to his head and he felt a bit dizzy.
"Brother!", the Emperor held Chenglei by the arms and steadied him.
"Calm down, brother", he poured Chenglei a cup of warm tea to drink.
Chenglei held out his palm, "Not this... That pouch. You didn't return it to me"
It took a minute for the Emperor to remember what pouch his brother was talking about.
"You remember? You remember the pouch you gave me to keep safe? So, you remember her?" he could not hide his delight and he laughed heartily, "At last! Geez! I've been trying to make you remember for...."
"Stop wasting time", Chenglei said in a rebuking tone to his brother who was overly joyous but he himself could not hold back his joy as his eyes were twinkling.
"Here... Here....", the Emperor took the white silk pouch with that awful silver embroidery he has ever seen in his life, from the drawer of his table and gave it to his brother.
Chenglei got it and sniffed it but it didn't smell like her anymore. He opened the pouch and saw the neatly tied bunch of golden and silver hair inside the pouch. This probably is the only remains of her once golden hair. He neatly closed it and stored it safely in his pocket after kissing it. 
Rijun watched everything with a smile. He always wanted his sister to be happy and she would be happy knowing her Prince remembered their past.
"Is she still in your father's Manor?", he asked Rijun, "Does she know I fainted?", his tone got worried realising it has already been dark and she would have expected him to be back early.
"She herself fainted but...."
Before Rijun could finish, Chenglei darted out of the study towards the gates .
She fainted? Why? Is it because I remembered her?
"She is fine now!"
Chenglie could hear Rijun shouting from behind him and his heart calmed down a bit but his legs weren't listening to him and he didn't stop running.
My moon, my Xing! I'm coming to you!
