บท 18: That Forbidden Skill Has a Name

Dana didn't need to command her twice as Louisanna was already in beside her mother in one swift. It was so fast to the point that Dana couldn't follow her movement using her eyes.

She moved faster than the wind, making Dana's lips parted while staring at Louisanna who had her brows furrowed when she noticed that her mother was making a weird reaction.

Sprint.

Louisanna knew that the movement she did earlier was sprint. She knew she wanted to ran so she could sit beside her mother as fast as possible, but what she didn't expect was for her body to feel like it was almost in sync with the wind as she can move her body lightly.

There are some weird things that happens whenever she was in this dream, but even what happens in the reality was weird as well, especially when she encountered with Domhall who introduced himself as the demon king.

What else should be afraid of? Especially if this place was under her territory and only she was able to control it?

"Did I scare you, mom?" Louisanna asked, worried, which made Dana snapped out from her thoughts.

She slightly flinched because of shock, but she was able to maintain her composure a little later.

"No. Not at all."

Dana shook her head as her gaze traveled on the mansion in front of them. Never in her wildest dreams she did expect her daughter to take their unrealistic dream so seriously.

Like, who would like a house made of different orbs?

Aside that it was so luxurious, it was so eye-catchy, and it was something she wouldn't like in the first place. Dana did her best not to gain attention from anyone.

But it was impossible as the higher ups always laid their eyes on her. It was for a reason, after all.

"Lean here," Dana said before she tapped her shoulder. "I know you always love doing this, right?"

"You have such a sharp memory, mom..." Louisanna whispered happily yet a sad smile showed onto her face.

'Even though you only exist in my dream.'

She replaced her sadness with a grin as she moved closer to her mother. She felt warmth as soon as her head started to lean on her shoulder.

Dana's hand quickly moved to her daughter's forehead as she massaged it a little bit. She could feel the immense amount of energy coming from her soul.

"How are you?" Dana asked her in a worried tone.

"I'm fine. I'm more than fine," Louisanna answered in a low tone as another tear fell from her eyes. "It's been a while since I did this. It still feels surreal being with you like this," she even added as she moved closer even though they were already close.

She was pertaining to her lucid dream.

"Because it is, my child," Dana told her as her one hand travaled onto hers. Dana caressed the back of her palm like she was trying to console her.

"What?" Louisanna's eyes widened as she realized what her mother was talking about.

'She was someone I only summoned in this dream, but how could she be able to speak so freely, and on top of that, revealing some sort of secret I didn't expect?' Louisanna asked herself as she didn't break her eye contact with her mother.

As much as she wanted to tell herself that everything was a lie, she could see it in her eyes that what she's saying was true.

"Does it mean that you're really healed and you're just pretending?" Louisanna couldn't hide the anger from her voice when she asked that.

"No— No. You're only talking to my soul," Dana explained as she pointed onto her body. It wasn't hers, anyway. "My body was in the hospital. It was paralyzed like you've always seen."

"Are you dead, mom?!" Luna stood up in shock as she pointed at Dana using her index finger.

"I'm alive! Can you even talk to me if I'm already dead?" Dana answered back. Annoyance was evident on her voice as she watched Louisanna held on her head using both of her hands and slightly pushed the strands of her hair.

"Mom! I can't understand anything!"

Louisanna couldn't get more crazier as she thought about those things.

Dana understood her daughter's reaction as she would also faint knowing this kind of information, especially Luna hasn't have any glimpse of memories from her previous lifetimes.

Unlike Domhall who may not also have his memories back as well, but he has enough power to protect himself. It's not a long time since he was throned on his real ranking— The demon king.

While the only thing that's protecting Louisanna was Dana, Gianna, and her unconscious alter ego. Without that, she would die from the hands of the people who's interested with her mere existence.

It doesn't mean that she's not powerful. It's just that she's not yet aware of it.

"Then, listen to me," Dana commanded and in one snap, Louisanna was sitting beside her again.

"We don't have much time. This should be the last time you should enter this place," she warned her in an intimidating tone.

'It will be dangerous from now on,' Dana wanted to add but she don't want her child to freak out.

Louisanna may think that her mother beside her was a product of her so-called imaginary power, but little did she know, it was her real mother she was talking to. That's why Louisanna always felt the kind of warmth like everything was real.

It's because everything is real.

Even one of the portals she mistakenly think as a part of her lucid dreaming was a real one. Lucid dreaming was only applicable to travelers— humans who were given a special gift who had obtained a great amount of good karma in their past lives.

And like some of Louisanna's classmates, travelers were only able to use that skill occassionally. Louisanna's skill was a different case— as it wasn't lucid dreaming in the first place.

Scene manipulation.

It was a power where Louisanna controls over the place. Her territory, her rules, her power, and as long as the other races are within the scene she can created, no one would be able to defeat her.

"Discharge me from the hospital after this dream," Dana told her as she place both of her hands on Louisanna's shoulders. "I wasn't sick. That's the only thing I can say for now, but I need you to trust me."

Dana wasn't sick, that's why doctors were unable to diagnose her.

Like what the demons did to Achyls, the Angels casted her a spell that would make her unable to use her powers. She was just an ordinary angel. There was nothing special about her. She's not even as powerful as the high-leveled angels who were assigned to protect the throne where the king resides.

Except for one thing.

Even though she was comatosed in a hospital, her mind was still conscious.

'I can feel it. Luna's opening a portal,' Dana thought as she felt a strange power near her. It was the time where her daughter was creating her replica so she could spend time with her, even if it was only on her dreams.

She prepared herself as a white light succumb to her, waiting for the right moment to come.

"Exchange."

Creation is hard, cheer me up!

บท 19: A Demon Intruder!

In the blink of an eye, Dana was already in front of Louisanna who always summons a replica of her every time she was in the portal.

It was her way to relieve the stress she has when she misses her mom. Dana's heart aches at that thought.

Soul exchange was a power she built when she made love with someone she should never have been involved with— Luna's father that had been gone after the first eclipse.

For the previous lifetimes she wasn't able to see him, his memory gradually fades onto her mind.

That power may be a blessing because she could do something like this— To explore different kinds of dimensions even though her physical body was resting somewhere.

But it was also a curse as the higher-ups paralyzed her body and her basic powers as an angel, being afraid that she was hiding more cursed powers that can be harmful to all the races.

Luna showing up her power recklessly like this in another place frightens her. The higher-ups may do something even worse than she had experienced.

Soon, they will realize that the curse they placed on their daughter wasn't enough to conceal her powers.

Knowing the council, they would consider ceasing her existence and not letting her reincarnate in the next lifetime anymore.

She won't let that happen. She just can't let the council have her daughter and punish her according to the rules.

"This isn't a lucid dream," Dana told her in a low tone. "This is reality."

"So… am I just dreaming that I can control my dreams?" Louisanna asked without hesitation.

However, confusion was evident in her voice as she had her brows furrowed. The place was peaceful as she was the one who made it, but her mind reluctantly goes somewhere else.

"It may be hard to understand, but I need you to listen to me."

This time, Dana's voice was full of authority.

"This place is one of the dimensions of the outside world. A place where no ordinary human can enter… not to mention to change the whole place as you do."

'Because you're the only one in this universe who possesses a power like that,' Dana added at the back of her mind.

"I'm doing it using my imaginary powers, mom," Louisanna explained as she opened her palm, facing the sky.

She just thinks that there's a power releasing from her palm, and it would happen. It's nothing special, but the way her mother scolds her for this feels like her imaginary power was something that can bring the world into chaos.

"It's not imaginary! It's real!" Dana shouted unintentionally to her daughter.

Louisanna had her eyes widened as she didn't expect Dana to shout at her. She knew her to be gentle and have a soft voice before she got comatose, but it looks like the years they weren't together changed some things about Dana's personality.

However, Dana just wanted her words to be retained in Louisanna's memory since she wasn't taking her seriously.

"Try returning things back. See where we really are," she even challenged her as her eyes scanned the place.

With that, Dana continued speaking, "We are not in the world you created in this place. We are in a much way darker place than that."

Louisanna blinked her eyes twice as she was still in confusion. Dana raised a brow so Louisanna didn't avert her gaze at her— watching her every move as the expression of her eyes softened.

"Mother…" she called her mother in a soft voice. "May I think about that later when I wake up?"

"Hmm?"

This wasn't something Dana expected her daughter to react to, especially if what she was sharing with her was some kind of information she won't be able to grasp so easily.

"If all of this is real…" Louisanna held onto her mother's hands and caressed them lightly, "Can I spend some time with you for a while without thinking about the problems you were telling me?"

Dana wasn't able to react immediately. She could hear the sadness and longingness in the tone of her voice. She was aware of the fact that Louisanna was missing her the whole time— which resorted her to do this kind of this.

"I wanted to be with you even just in this place. Please don't take my happiness from me."

Pain.

It was all both of them could feel. To feel like they were a lifetime away from each other because, in reality, only the life support is making her conscious. At that time, she realized how hard it was for Louisanna for her to hear that it should be the last time they should be together at this place.

"I understand." Dana, although she wanted to cry, tried to smile to comfort her daughter. "Rest here. I'll put you to sleep."

She tapped on her shoulder as Louisanna went back to her original position. It was the most comfortable position for her— Lying down on her mother's shoulder while she was caressing her hair, staring at the peaceful night sky where the stars were shining.

"Put me to sleep while I'm sleeping? That's weird, mom," Louisanna answered as she chuckled a bit, moving her body closer to her mom.

"Right."

That night was so peaceful. Looking at the golden mansion in front of them as she spent time with her mom was the best time of her life for Louisanna.

To be honest, she doesn't care if this place was in another dimension. If she can communicate with her mom in this place, there's no way she won't come back here again and summon her for another time.

"It was nice to be here, isn't it?" Louisanna spoke, breaking the silence between them. "I miss you. I miss being comfortable sitting on the grass with you."

But they weren't.

However, she still hopes that they can do this in real life. Not in any weird dimension or such, but in Earth where they truly belong.

Or, do they?

"I miss you too, my child..." Dana answered as she gave Louisanna a kiss on her forehead.

She closed her eyes as she felt like her body was healing itself. She couldn't feel the fatigue she had after changing the whole place where they are. It feels like she became well-rested.

"Do you want an ice cream? I can summon it for you." Louisanna suddenly remembers how they loved to eat vanilla ice cream when she was a child.

Dana just nodded as she watched how Louisanna summoned two vanilla-flavored ice creams in her right hand. That was her dominant hand, and that's where her powers come from.

"Here!" Louisanna said as she gave her one of the ice creams and immediately ate hers.

Again, silence filled the conversation, but instead of being anxious, Louisanna feels at peace as she knows she was with the right person.

"Mom… I do hope you'll get better soon. I really miss being with you..." she said as a tear fell from her eyes.

'It's so hard to be alone. I'm so tired and lonely...'

She wanted to say that, but she just closed her eyes and bite her lower lip. She doesn't want her mother to be sad for something she didn't have control over. It wasn't her fault to faint without knowing that it will take a long time for her to wake up.

"Girl... aren't you going to wake up? We still have classes!"

Louisanna had her brows furrowed as she heard Gianna's voice somewhere. At that time, she realized that she fainted because of her headache. Damn it, she suddenly remembered how painful it was to the point she wanted to bang her forehead on the wall.

"If only I can sleep forever just to be with you like this, I will gladly do it..."

Louisanna stood up and stared at her mother who looked at her with a confused expression.

"But who will take care of you in the reality? No one."

As long as she wanted to be here, she can't.

"I'll do everything to keep you alive." Her eyes narrowed as her right hand went to her mother's head and pat it lightly.

She almost cried as she noticed that her mother's presence was slowly fading away.

This is the part Louisanna didn't like.

Her dreams make her happy but not until the end.

It feels like this place was slapping her that everything was a creation of her imagination, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing her mother fade away feels like watching her die every now and then. It pains her, after all.

"I'll go back here later at sleep time, okay?" she told her as she was about to snap her hand to wake up.

But she wasn't able to do that when something opened on her right side and went in front of her.

His beast-like figure, the dark red eyes that give her chills every second she stares at it, his dark and burned skin, his not-so-good yellow teeth, and his aura that seems to devour her alive were enough for her to know what it was.

A demon intruder!
