Ariel opened her eyes and found herself in a dark place without lighting.
There, there was only him and another girl with something familiar to him.
The girl only cried for a while, Ariel who was puzzled looked around and found no clue whatsoever about her current location.
Feeling that he would not find the answer himself, Ariel approached the girl carefully. If not for the Aura emitted by the girl, Ariel would not have noticed any difference between the two of them.
"Excuse me, may I ask you something?" ariel said as she approached slowly. He has certainly learned from his experience that not everyone he meets is good, only some are really good and one of them is the figure he cares about today. Surprisingly, Ariel could not remember her name and face at the moment.
The girl did not reply, but, her crying stopped and she rubbed her eyes a few times.
When the girl turned to face Ariel then the beautiful and charming face she had, if Ariel looks soft and weak, the girl was the opposite. He looks firm and bold, even so, this shows more clearly his appeal.
"Ah, I'm sorry. My name is Rose, I brought you here." said Rose after wiping her eyes, her brown hair fluttering and her beautiful eyes glistening as there were still tears in them.
"No, it's okay. If it's true that sister is the one who brought me here, can you tell me where we are?" ariel asked with a hint of fear in her heart.
Rose saw that and smiled kindly before answering Ariel's question, "We are in your dreams. I'm not kidding, we're really in your dream." Rose replied with a smile on her lips.
Ariel of course did not understand the girl's intentions, only, she knew the girl was not joking.
"Then, if this was my dream, how could I meet a sister I don't even know? Doesn't this make no sense?" Ariel became even more confused and asked some of her curiosity.
"That's one thing, you may not know me, but I know you. Or at least so, I guess." Rose began to be confused as to how he explained.
"The point is, I invited you here of course not without reason." Rose took a deep breath before exhaling, "I want to share my memories, maybe this will be quite painful, but you might be quite happy with this, just consider it a gift from me."
Ariel who was getting confused was about to ask something back, just that Rose's delicate hand had already touched her forehead.
"With this, now, you are me and I am you. We are one, even though you and I are not in the same physical one.".
After the girl's words were heard, Ariel's gaze blurred and slowly twisted back memories that should not have belonged to her.
"Look at her, so pretty and funny. Just like you Jeanne." The shadow of a man was faintly visible in Ariel's gaze.
"Rose, come! Follow dad, we're going rabbit hunting today."
"Rose beautiful mother, you should know, in this world, there are many secrets and truths that have not been revealed, you do not have to dismantle them, but you have to be prepared when the world wants to expose all the secrets that are on you."
"Rose! Go then! You have to stay alive in this world" said a woman who previously claimed to be Rose's mother. Meanwhile, all around them there was only a blaze everywhere, it was unknown whether it was at home or elsewhere.
That day a retired general who happened to be passing by finally picked up Rose, and made her a student.
Rose's memories roll back and speed up time, this time Ariel sees something she never expected.
"I'm Rose, who are you?" said Rose, who was a child at the time, to a brunette boy with cold eyes.
Even so, it was clear that the child was not entirely the same as the look in his eyes.
"Leo, I'm Leo" he replied emotionlessly, seeing the suffering and trials the boy had faced could not be measured either by Rose, nor Ariel currently sharing her memories with the girl.
Rose immediately took him back to his new home and showed the boy to his Master.
His teacher who was none other than Zheira smiled before then receiving and having Rose prepare the room for Leo.
After that, time again accelerated, "Leo, I want to tell you something" said Rose, whose heart was pounding like a horse's step.
Leo just stared as flatly as ever, at a glance, if Rose did not know the young man, he would have thought that the young man was not interested in the slightest.
"Eh, it doesn't seem to be." Rose hurried to cancel her speech out of fear of the rejection she got.
Leo immediately approached her and Rose reflexively stepped back until finally stopped by a tree that was two steps behind her.
"Why not be? Though I've been waiting for what you want to say, is that how much you hate me?" Leo looked sad this time.
For the first time, this young man before him showed an expression he could recognize clearly.
"Not that, it's just, I'm scared ... " Rose turned her eyes away. The shame is now soaring high and ready to blow his chest.
"Pronounce" said Leo with a sad face that had still not changed.
"I ... A—" Rose was about to say before being cut by the young man.
"I love you" said Leo without giving the girl a chance to finish her words.
Rose naturally flushed and became embarrassed, just that something forced the two to delay it.
A wolf-shaped Ashura lunged and tried to attack them, of course, Leo managed to kill him.
But the problem is not that easy. Hundreds, or even more, are lurking from the darkness of the night
"Leo! I'm not strong anymore!" said Rose who at that time had felt a great dizziness and his eyes were twitching due to fatigue after running.
"Hurry up Rose, they're close!" said Leo who looks very panicked, Ariel can feel the sadness and despair on the face of Leo who has grown up.
"Damn, they've surrounded us." Leo looked even more desperate. Ariel knew, right now they were lovers because there was one memory that had crossed some time before.
"Leo ... " Rose looked at Leo with a heavy heart, he knew. They will not easily survive this incident, so he has resolved to sacrifice for Leo.
After one Ashura and another took turns attacking, they were finally able to rest for a while.
Disaster is never to be expected.
That day, Rose breathed her last in front of the raging Leo right after her departure.
Ariel and Rose still had a chance to see the young man's rampage to the end before finally completely leaving the world.
