The old man in front of Sean smiled faintly, making the hanging whiskers look like they were happy.

Sean blinked his eyes many times, his mouth agape to form the letter O perfect. Yeah, Sean can't ignore Lord Shutanhamun's old face. Although Sean does not know him very well, but Sean several times concluded that he...... Deities.

“Are you a god?” asked Sean plain. His eyes twinkled, making the old man in front of him smile wilfully.

“You're sure if I'm like that?”

Sean nodded. “More than anything.”

“But I'm not a god.” The old man nodded. Sean flicked his lips, his eyes rounded big. His eyes were stifled, surprised.

“Then, who are you? If you're not a god?” ask Sean again. This child was getting curious, especially the white hair mane invited many questions in his mind.

“I am only a higher-up in the heavenly land. Someone who is raised by many people, but I am not a god.”

“If you're not a god, then why would you want to meet me. I don't even know if I should be proud to see you, or if I should humble myself. You are a person who is raised by many people, then why did you meet with me!”

“You...”.

“Iya. Who am I?” sean Sambar. “Do I have a special reason to meet with me!”

The old man walked slowly, trying to master the situation. Every now and then he took a heavy breath, then twisted his heels, turning his back to Sean. One hand fluttered into the air, so that a picture appeared...... Floating in the air. Some kind..... Dream caller picture. I don't know, Sean doesn't understand, how he did it. Sean acknowledged his power.

“Wow..” Sean was surprised. Amazingly, even Sean did not know what kind of magic the Great Lord was using, to the point that he easily took out a picture just by stretching out his hand once.

“You, your Mother, also your Father. You are already destined to be knights who will serve the heavenly land.”

Like a movie theater, it was as if there was a remote controller that controlled every single image displayed by the great magic.

The old man skillfully showed me various images, where Sean was clearly seen as..... Knight. Yeah, Sean knows that. But it's ridiculous that Sean is a tough knight, while his body is skinny, except for extras. His stomach was hard, stocky, and slightly muscular although according to Sean skinny for the size of a fighter on the battlefield.

Oh, Sean remembers a little. People in the housing complex, often say very handsome. Sean often heard the compliment. But for Sean, he's not. She's ugly, not even as charming as most people say.

“OK, I don't care what you say,” Sean said, he equalized the position of the establishment, right next to the old man, Sean tried to help melt the atmosphere. “I just want you to get me out of this weird place. I've heard enough of your chatter!”

The old man again grunted with a smile, his hand gently rubbing the thick, long gray beard. Staring at Sean, everyone was doing it in this place. Where Sean shouldn't have met these freaks.

“You don't want to come with me first, surround the palace above this paradise?” ask the old man.

Sean shakes. “I don't want to obey your will. You better give me back, meet my Mom and Dad.”

“This fast?”

Sean nodded. “I'm tired of seeing weird people, weird places, and all that weird stuff. I want to leave this senseless place soon.”

“You sure?”

Sean nodded again. “More than you asked.”

“Good. Then you can leave if that's your will.”

Huh... Sean flabbergasted. Even Sean was just boasting, but that easily this old man said, obey his will. He ignored Sean, more often caring about the hair hanging on his chin.

He said relax. Not usually. When he was in Nebula, he didn't even want me to leave. But why is he now....

“You didn't hold me?”

The old man smiled pettyly, after which, he turned his body, turning his back to Sean again. There was not the slightest doubt from that face, Sean was able to judge it.

“I have no right to keep you here. You want to go, then I can't hold you.”

Is correct. He won't hold me back. This old man is very indifferent to me now. You useless old man. He doesn't understand anything about me.

“Not my fault.you asked.”

Yeah, Sean knows that. Not that, if the request must be fulfilled. Doesn't every request, it can be in Kabul or not. He should have asked first, what was the reason.

Even the old man didn't ask first why Sean did it. I want to get out of this place quickly. He didn't, he only cared about one thing. That's the beard, Sean's upset with him. Once in a while, Sean wanted to burn or shave off the white hair.

“I'm leaving now. You don't hold me back!”

Sean left the old man alone. The old man was still the same, not turning his head when Sean left. Sean looked at the old man once in a while, but he could not help Sean. Until he steps away from the white man.

“I guess, he'll ban me from here. Turns out, he didn't do it,” Sean said hoping.

Sean took the road—like castle fortress. On Sean's left right side was a cloud, while under the palace, was a settlement that floated in the air. It can be said that this is a bridge like many built in famous cities.

In Europe, yes, Sean remembers. He had seen a bridge built using a pile of stones. Just like now, Sean found something similar here. But it wasn't the typical European bridge Sean got. Just a replica.

“I hope, I'm not in Holland.”

Sean's gaze focused forward, from afar, Sean saw someone he knew very well.

“Jessica?”

Sean squinted his eyes, he was sure it was Jessica, the girl who was now taken away by big-bodied men. Probably soldiers.

“True. That's Jessica,” Sean said with his beliefs. “Jessica!” shouts Sean.

Sean tries to chase after the shadow of the girl who is now lost behind a dense fog, covering his path.

“Jessica! It's me, Sean!”

Sean ran fast, he wanted to reach the girl— to not be separated from her. Sean doesn't want to lose his best friend again. Whatever happens. For Sean, it's just Eed who's gone, Jessica isn't.

However, because Sean did not see the footing of the road he passed, Sean accidentally mired down—when the small road of rocks in the perfect chisel was split suddenly.

“Akh.... Jessica!” sean shouted echoing.

Luckily, Sean did not fall down immediately, but Sean swiftly landed his hand at the end of this split road. Sean goes to great lengths to get up, while under Sean is...... Ah, spooky. Sean couldn't describe it specifically.

When he looked down, Sean saw that underneath was the sky. In fact, if Sean falls there, Sean is sure, he will die. Horrified, moreover this was a height. Yes, this palace stood above the sky, clouds enveloping a place as beautiful as this.

“No. I can't die here. I should be able to find Jessica and Eed!”

As the two names overshadowed his mind, Sean grew even more eager to rise to the top. He could not ignore his safety at this moment. Although with great difficulty, Sean had to get out of this distress that tested him.

Sean looked up, as he looked up, Ligong, he....

“Ligong, you.

THE ROARK!!!

“Akh..

Sean did not expect, the black creature did not help him. Instead he scares Sean with his terrible muzzle, makes Sean laugh, then release his footing at the end of the rocky road that split, when Sean finally fell down. As a result of shock, Sean forgot to continue to survive.

Floating through the air, even Sean's wings were currently unfriendly. Sean was pushed down, as if this was the end of his journey.

“Mother.....”.
