The Guardian: The Elementalist

Alesse disappeared II

Aqua found herself in bed. The surroundings were no longer pale blue. This time the colors are different and brighter.

Unfortunately he did not care about it, especially since there was no Baraq to harass him, he could enjoy the view of the moon from the window.

"Ofless? You haven't slept?" ask Hendra. Aqua did not answer, she continued to watch the moon. "What are you looking at, Alesse?" asked Hendra curious, he also tried to approach the window.

"Aren't you tired of staring at it?" ask Hendra. "This is enough for me compared to the pitch-black seabed" Aqua replied.

"Why do you compare it to the bottom of the sea? Are you all right?" ask Hendra again. "I don't know who you are. Let me tell you, I am not Alesse, " said Aqua.

Hendra was silent, he did not expect that the boy realized that he was not Alesse.

"Se... since when did you know that?" ask Hendra. "From the beginning, since I entered this body for no apparent reason" Aqua said.

"Be... means you already know who you really are? Why do you seem to be quiet? You didn't say anything to us?" ask Hendra.

"Of course I know who I am, I am Aqua. How important is it to tell you who I am? My own existence is not meaningful enough for someone" Aqua said.

"Eh?" Hendra did not seem to understand what the boy was talking about. He tried to think for a moment, but his mind with what the boy said was very much different, he felt himself misunderstood.

"Tu.. wait a minute! So you're not Alesse Jawara? Your name's Aqua? Am I right" asked Hendra. "Yes. Do not ask the same question over and over again. I was lazy to answer him, " said Aqua.

"Be.. look, Aqua! Do you know who you really are?" ask Hendra. Aqua immediately turned around and showed her sharp blue eyes. Unfortunately he could not be upset, he could only stare hard at Hendra for not heeding his words.

"I thought I told you not to ask the same thing. I'm Aqua, that's all," Aqua said, staring back at the moon.

"Oh? Be...is that? Then I'll go. Sorry to bother you," Hendra said, then exited the room while closing the door. He also breathed a sigh of relief. He broke out in a cold and pale sweat, expecting the worst to happen.

"What's up, baby?" ask Andin. "I think Alesse knows everything" Hendra said. "What's? How come? Where does he know? Who told him?" Andin asked a lot of questions because he was very surprised.

"Mom.. No, baby! I was in a panic because I thought Alesse knew his identity!" Hendra. "So that's just your guess? What makes you think that?" ask Andin.

"I don't know what to explain because I almost told him about his identity!" Hendra. "Are you crazy? We'll be done if he finds out!" andin.

"It's not like that, baby! He suddenly confessed that he was not Alesse! Of course I was surprised and asked many questions about his identity, but he only said that he was not Alesse, but Aqua," said Hendra.

"Aqua? Who'sis that? Why did he claim to be Aqua?" ask Andin astonishment. "Come on, I'm still having panic attacks, I'm going to lie down for a while" Hendra said.

Andin felt uneasy because of her husband's words. Finally he tried to make sure of himself and opened the door to Alesse's room.

"That's right! It's too sudden, usually Alesse calls me mother instead of calling me 'you'" Andin said.

"I am indeed not Alesse, not a child who has a soul younger than his body as well" Aqua said. "You know about the new soul that's in Alesse's body?" andin asked surprised.

"Of course, because I am also a newcomer, in the sense that I am also one of the souls residing in that body" said Aqua.

"I suspected! Is there another soul besides you?" ask Andin. "I'm not too sure, I never care how many people are in this body. It may be the same as the number of changes this body undergoes. I heard that he continued to change following the shape of the soul that possessed him," said Aqua.

"If there's another soul besides you, how many have you met so far?" ask Andin. "Maybe two. An arrogant-looking noble boy and a new soul itself" Aqua said.

"That means you two talked to each other?" ask Andin. "of course. Even if I ignore it, the existence of the new soul is very weak. Maybe it will completely disappear if I ignore it" Aqua said.

"So....how much does the new soul know about him?" andin asked, getting curious.

"Don't know. The boy was almost the same as me, he wasn't too interested in himself. As long as he doesn't get distracted, I don't think he'll find out" Aqua said. Andin fell silent, he suspected Aqua of something.

"Why do you seem to realize that I wish the boy knew nothing?" ask Andin. "I already know who exactly the new soul that resides in this body," said Aqua.

"Enough! You'd better never tell that kid about his identity" Andin said.

"I don't mind. But....." Aqua looked at Andin sharply, before long her eyes suddenly began to turn orange.

"But, if only someone dared to disturb this body. Making my existence threatened, I will not hesitate to become his enemy. In short, we will all be your enemies if we intend to exterminate this body" Aqua said. Instantly his appearance turned orange.

"Eh? Aye? I'm taking over this body?" The boy seemed confused himself. "What's up, Aqua?" ask Andin.

"Hmm? I'm not Aqua, you know! My name is Baraq" said the boy. "You must be one of the other souls! I didn't trust the blue boy too much. What do you think of the new soul?" ask Andin.

"New soul? Which new soul? Oh? You mean Alesse? It's cruel you don't even call him by name! Is it because he's not the real soul of your son's body? You think he lives in this body out of his own will?" ask Baraq. Andin felt smitten by that question.

"I see it as a foam floating in the sea. He doesn't even know who to assume you are. But aren't you guys too cruel? What kind of ridiculous reason does it make you not think of him as your son? Even though he's a newcomer, but in his memory keep thinking of you mother and father! You want to reason that your child is just a shell and the contents are fake? The Alesse I knew hated to believe that! He believed in science more than magic! He didn't want to believe he was a fake!" baraq said emotionally, his hair was filled with flashes of electricity.

"So.....is that what Alesse told you?" ask Andin. "Even without him saying it, I knew his feelings. His existence is not wanted by you and now either he is where. Perhaps you will never see Alesse calling you father and mother again" Baraq said. Since his mood seemed bad, he immediately went out to look for some fresh air.

Hendra who was listening to their conversation immediately fell silent, he also felt very guilty for what Alesse felt.
