CLOUD POV

It was cold night, complete darkness was spread everywhere, hastily I was searching something, running into deep forest... but what..? I don't know. I was keep running and then my step got stopped right there. I saw blood ...drops of blood were on the ground.

"Why is this blood here?"

"Where am I..."

"What is happening..."

I walked further and then I saw a girl, who was lying on the ground and a boy was holding her into his arms. That girl seemed injured, blood covered her body and some blood spread around her on the ground. I wanted to see her face.. I was feeling deep pain in my chest but I couldn't see her face because that boy's back in front of me.

I stepped forward but it seemed as if tonnns of weight put on my legs. I put lot of pressure on my legs to move them from their place.

"Who did this to you?". He shouted.

"Who do this to yo Kaira?" That boy screamed with full of rage.

I was stuck at my place. "Oh.. god! What is this.. "

I was utterly shocked that boy was me... but as if it was my young form, i looked around 18-19 year old.

"Who is she.. but didn't he say.. Kaira!"

I look down at that girl... I got shocked even more. She..she was... Kaira.

"How Kaira got injured?"

"Oh.. Lord... what is this? What is this mean?"

Kaira looked at my young form...and put her hand on his cheek... "You came".

She was breathing slowly... "I was waiting for you".

"I'm sorry". He Held her tightly in his embrace.

"I'm sorry.. I couldn't come on time"

"No. It's not your fault Cloud, please don't blame yourself".

"I.. I will kill them"

"I will kill all them who attacked you". And then he took her into his arm in bridal style and walked away.

"Don't worry. I wouldn't let anything happen to you".

"Your my life... my everything".

"I love you so much Kaira"

"Let's go home".

I tried to follow them but I couldn't.. I couldn't walk.. the weight on my legs got more and more heavy and within few minutes they vanished in the air. I looked around.

"Where they have gone?"

"Where....". I shouted and with shock my eyes opened with a flick, I was heaving, sweat drops rolled down on my face.

"What was that?"

I looked around and realized I was still in the forest after meeting with Eleanor and Winslet. I was lying there on the ground and I was holding Kaira's scarf strongly in my hands. After meeting them I couldn't stop myself but thinking about Kaira and I.. I didn't remember when sleep came over me.

"Was it really a dream?"

"But .. but it seemed so real"

"I.. I don't know"

Whether it was dream or reality but it felt so real I still felt the pain in my heart.

I regretted so much... that why I didn't tell how much I care for her, my life without her was so empty.

I fisted my hands. "Even in my dream I couldn't protect her she looked so pale and fragile"

"Seeing her face even in my dream". I could feel how she would be feeling when she was attacked. I hold her scarf close to my chest. I was feeling angry and sad I didn't know where should I go?.. what should I do?

But still somewhere I was thinking...at least.. at least I said which I never said to her. At least I said in my dreams that...

"I love her so much".

"My life nothing without her".

I was just keep walking, didn't even care where I was heading, my mind, my rational thinking had stopped working. I was keep walking deep into the woods. I was sad.. deeply sad, heaviness of my chest keep growing.

Once again I was sunk into my inside darkness and no hope I was feeling. Once again I was feeling the numbness in my body... such feeling I was felt when my mother left me alone in this world. I struggled hard to live my life again. But once again I'm feeling same numbness inside me. I don't now what should I do. I don't see any future.

Mother Mary rushed into Daylon's room she looked really anxious.

"What happened mother Mary. Why you looked so anxious?"

Daylon my child... "How can you sure that she is reincarnation of Ancient Guardian Kaira."

Mother Mary... "I saw her magic and powers with my own eyes".

"Then tell me what could be the other reason that my father, The King of Demon, tried to kill Kaira".

"What". She was shocked.

"Yes he sent many Warlocks after Kaira... to kill her".

"That's mean there must be something special about her".

"I think"

"She not completely awakened yet".

"Otherwise she must be recalled her past life completely so far".

"But why?... Why you want to save her".

"Aren't you going against your father".

He smiled.

First time Mother Mary ever saw him .. smiled lightly. He looked out the window.

"Do you remember mother Mary when I was little kid I used to be a very Annoying and grumpy child, who broke everything and beat other children badly". He mocked at himself.

"And when I got punished. I was looked in a room.. as my punishment. You used to come and give me sweets and told me a lot of stories of Ancient Guardian Kaira".

"Do you remember"

"So slowly I started to Idolise her .. I started to like her a lot. I wished if I could ever able to meet someone like her".

You told me that she was one the greatest Ancient Guardian of your clan and that's why her picture carved on the wall so that people keep remember her and her sacrifice and never stop show respect towards her generation after generation.

She nodded. "Yes".

"I used to sit close to her picture".

"But when I went to earth and saw kaira first time ... I didn't believe myself. It was a dream come true..really... she was so innocent and beautiful, beyond my imagination".

"It was like love at first sight".

"She is not only beautiful but a very selfless person".

"And I can't let anything happen to her".

"I don't care if I have to face my father ... I will".

"And I hate Demon king... I have nothing to do with me after my mother's death".

"What". A smiled trailed on her lips.

"Do you really love her?... I'm so happy for you my child".

"Do you tell her".

"No!"

He looked at her. "Please never tell Kaira about my confession"

"But why?".

"Because... because I don't think she has the same feelings for me in her heart".

"If I'm not wrong... she has feelings for someone else not for me".

"What". She got said sadly.

"I'm so sorry dear".

It's okey mother Mary"

"I don't mind if she don't liked me but My feelings are also true for her and I'll follow my heart and protect her".

"Oh dear". She put her hands on his shoulder.

"Always do in which you get happiness"

"And I'll promise son, I'll not going to tell anything to her".

She sat on the chair. "We don't let leak out any information regarding Kaira. It would be dangerous"

"I'm going to call Ancient Guardian council".

Ancient Guardian council was a secret council and worked secretly for the benefit of everyone.

"Only Council will decide if she is a reincarnation of Ancient Guardian Kaira or not".

"Because before many time people claimed that 'they are the reincarnation of Kaira' but no one.. no one ever qualify because no one could hold her magic wand yet in her hands while they badly injured by a lightning shock attack which repelled them back".

"So if Kaira able to hold that magic wand then it will be clear itself that she is the real reincarnation of Ancient Guardian Kaira". She explained to Daylon.

Magic wand was a kind of magic weapon which Ancient Guardians and wizards used and they could summon them anywhere anytime they want. Every magic wands chose their master by themself.

There are basically seven level in which a magic wands of is divided but there was an another special level known as 8th level, symbolized by infinitely sign. And very few Ancient Guardian so far belonged to this level. They could extend their magic to the unknown limits and only it depends on the strength of an Ancient Guardian.

Next day early in the morning, at 4 am, mother Mary, Daylon and Kaira headed to see Council members by a carriage, since It was a secret place that's why mother Mary casted a spell on them so they couldn't opened their eyes, it was a rule which mother Mary had to follow.

When they reached there mother Mary removed her spell from them and they both found themselves near a large mountain which is surrounded by dense forest.

Mother Mary indicated them to follow her, soon they reached at base of that mountain. Mother Mary again casted a spell and a hidden path opened which led them inside that mountain to a huge cave.
Thst cave was a ovoid in shape and the walls smoothly curved to the floor.

All of a sudden, flaming torches sparked to life, lighting up the entire cave and bathing it in a flickering orange glow and they saw all of the members of the council entered in the cave through an another door.

"She is the girl". One of them asked with mother Mary.

"Yes".

"When you send us the message that you might found the reincarnation of Ancient Guardian Kaira which came from the planet Earth, we didn't believe and ready to reject your request because it was impossible. But after a discussion we thought we should confirm by ourselves.

"Come child stand in the center". They instruct her.

Kaira came in the center and soon a magic wand appeared in front of her in the air.

It was an ancient metallic stick on which a mysterious design carved which only enhance its beauty. There was a magic sphere which was embedded in it in the front and a crystal was in the end.

She got fascinated to see that colour of the sphere and crystal was emerald green in colour, just similar to her eyes colour.

"Child hold the magic wand which is infornt of you"

Kaira looked at mother Mary and Daylon, they noded her to approach. Then she slowly extended her hand towards the magic wand.

At that moment her heart was beating so high that she could hear it into her ears. There was a lot of doubts and questions running through her head.

As she approached her hand was shivering as she reached close, she fisted her hand, tried to pull back.

But then she took a deep breath and firmly hold that magic wands into her hand. Suddenly waves of spark flared in air and glow the entire cave.
