HYRIA'S P.O.V.

Shock is an understatement when I saw a pair of red eyes surround us.

I know that I am unlucky. But I never thought that it might come up to this point.

It's as if my unluckiness leveled up in a short span.

"They are not harmful, right?" Hyria asked Nadia.

After that, they saw a little squirrel stumble on the branch of a tree and fall.

But I never saw the body of the squirrel reaches to the ground.

I can not help but swallow my saliva.

Hyria showed me a paper with the words written as...

"I guess it is."

I look at the paper that is stuck in Nadia's hand. The wind blew as paper struggled to be free from Nadia's finger.

All I can think of is...

Is that it?

I mean, how are we going to escape from this mess.

Do you have any plans?

Can you do something?

Just, please...

Anything...

The vein in my neck is already visible due to the pressure of expressing my thought. But I can not put it in words.

"I will go back to him, just please do something," I whispered with such urgency and a little...

I mean...

Huge amount of desperation.

Nadia nodded and seemed to be please with what I said.

I felt a burden lifted as I sighed with relief. But after I opened my eyes. I saw a paper in front of my eyes.

I felt that time slowed down as I saw the paper that Nadia held so dearly just separated from her fingers and now dancing freely in the wind.

To my surprise, the paper produces another paper followed by a huge amount of paper.

The papers are like dancing in the wind.

To my surprise bird around us went wild and followed the paper.

Something grabs my waist and I felt that I am flying toward the bird.

I gasp at what Nadia is doing but stopped me from screaming. I felt Nadia's hand on my lips while jumping to the branch of the trees.

However, other birds started to notice our existence and started to chase us.

SHIER'S P.O.V.

I look at the man sleeping deeply on the bench for the last time before walking away from the park to find somewhere secluded.

I just thought of an idea on how to find Hyria in a fast way.

But this requires a lot of energy on my part.

I do have the ability to transport where Hyria is.

However, some things are needed to make it effective.

First is the tears of the target person I wish to find.

Second, The summoner has to have a sincere heart to find the person.

If it is just wishful thinking because you are bored. It will never work.

The third is a link, the closest object or people who have direct contact with Hyria that somehow connected to me or something I touch.

The person holding that object will be transported to where I am.

The same thing that I will be transporting to where Hyria is.

To my frustration, I cannot remember anything that I touched.

All the items that we bought were left at the park.

I did not even touch her in the market earlier.

I even felt that I have a contagious disease.

Every time I move closer she moved farther.

My feet stop in the middle of the forest. I close my eyes to find where Hyria is.

I sensed her aura through the tears I acquired, but it was faint.

It's as if they are far away from me.

Does she really want to abandon me?

I opened my eyes out of frustration. Something is not right!

I can feel that she is in trouble.

If only she has a companion.

I close my eyes again and try.

If only I find a link that is closest to Hyria.

HYRIA'S P.O.V.

Nadia's feet touch the branch after another with utmost speed and urgency.

I don't know what Nadia thinks. But, there is a lot of birds on our tails as the wind grew stronger.

"Nadia there are many birds tailing us." I just rolled my eyes.

Nadia is not even bothered to look back and continues to run.

As I am looking at the birds that follow us. I realize that Nadia is quite right. I need to be alive to protect the people who are

important to me.

I never thought that I forgot about something important when I strive to live all of my life.

"This time, I will not hurt you." Somehow I remember Shier told me.

He is quite gentle and serious while telling that to me it felt as if it was a confession.

Then a flashback of him keeps popping up.

"I... I'm sorry..."

"No, I should be the one saying sorry."

"For what?"

"For sacrificing you without your knowledge."

He is the first angel who apologizes for sacrificing someone like me without my knowledge.

Is that even a joke?

As if I will permit him to sacrifice myself.

"I will protect you from any danger from now on." I felt like crying.

I remember how naive he was. He is not like other angels from

the Smerte clan. He is too naive to do bad things.

"What have I done?" I just blurted out.

My sentiments stopped when suddenly, everything felt light.

"What is happening?"

After a moment I realized that we are falling.

"NaDIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nadia's grip on my waist got

dismantled cause of the fall.

After a second I saw Nadia coming onto me as we struggle to be closer to reach each other's hand.

"Is this your plan!" I shouted at Nadia but the latter doesn't

even listen and continued to reach my hand.

"IT'S FUCKING SAFE!" I blurted out sarcastically.

I always thought that I am ready to die.

Well, I thought wrong. My whole being is having a panic attack and never felt alive than before.

"SAVE ME!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs while reaching Nadia's hand.

To my relief, I touch Nadia's hand but the wind blew and separate us.

"NO!" I tried to swim just to get closer to Nadia again but it is useless.

Added to my frustration is Nadia keeps playing on the wind. It's quite awesome. I have to admit it.

"NADIA! SAVE ME!" All I can do is shout. That time I am falling faster than Nadia is.

Every sense in my body is aware that I am falling into the ground I can already see where we are landing.

If miracles happen and make it alive. I promise to protect Shier and raise him well.

I desperately reach Nadia's hand and when the tip of our fingers

touch a large smoke blew out of nowhere.

I can't see anything but I felt and an arm is carrying me.

The smoke slowly fades away that's when I saw a familiar face.

"I lost my sight of you just for a few hours. How did you end up falling?" I felt a lump of air in my chest and tears falling from my eyes.

Just why?

Whenever I saw his face, I became a crybaby.

It is not like me at all.
