Chapter 31 - Chapter 29: A Tale Of A Thousand Years Ago.

 I was always suffering from poverty.

My family was Poor. We had no food for days.

One day I asked my mom.

"Mom? When will dad come back?" I asked as she looked at me. Her face was dead.

No expressions. Nothing to show a hint of emotions. She opened her mouth and spoke.

"Soon Yi nuo... Soon." She said as I then walked to my room.

My stomach was grumbling. I wanted to eat.

Hunger was a painful thing to feel in this time.

Food is essential for Humans to live.

Am I going to... Die?

Fear. I'm scared of death.

I didn't want to die.

I need to eat something.

I'm so hungry...

I was about to lay on bed until I suddenly heard a loud noise.

I followed the voice quietly and there I saw...

My dad's body.

He's... dead.

I walked to touch the body.

It was cold. 

How long has dad been dead for...? I don't know...

I tried to sneak back to my room but when I turned around I saw mom standing there.

"Yi nuo.. Your dad... he.. He tried to run away and leave us! I stopped him." Execuses.

She killed dad. She will probably kill me too...

I began running.

I left home and never wanted to look back.

As I was running my feet felt cold.

Oh right. It was snowing...

It was getting colder but I kept running.

Until.

I tripped and fell face first into the snow.

I didn't have the strength to stand up.

Down there...Face on the snow. I began crying.

I heard footsteps as I looked at the direction of the sound.

A man.

He had blonde hair. That is all I can remember.

And his Name.

"You seem to be troubled Young one." He said as he held an umbrella over my head to stop the snow from falling on my head.

"My name is Aros. Would you like to join me Please?" He said as I then with tears in my eyes I nodded.

I did not know who this man was.

But if he were to give me a sense of peace... And save me...

Then I'll do what he says.

After all... We must do what it takes to survive...

---- A few years later. ------

I've been with Aros for some years now.

He's been nothing but nice to me.

I was going to die that day and he saved me.

I feel like I owe him my life.

"Yi nuo. One day a descender will arrive to the tower. Are you ready to sacrifice yourself to help him on his journey?" He asked me as I thought about it.

I definitely would do it.

"Yes. I will do it if that is what you wish." I said as I smiled at him.

He then pat my head and said.

"And worry not for you won't truly die just yet. It's already been prophesized that He'll come saving you." He said as I wondered.

So I would sacrifice myself and then He'd save me?

My sacrifices are worth it if it's enough to repay my debt.

"Will that mean Yi nuo... live?" I asked as he gave me a hat.

"Yes of course, Now You must go on to live and aid him My dear." He said as I then smiled and nodded my head.

"Yes! I'll do my best!" I said as he then put a talisman on me.

Then I passed out.

When I began opening my eyes I found myself in a Hotel.

Why was I here?

Was this my duty?

When will this person arrive?

Will I truly be saved after my sacrifice?

I had many questions.

And he was gone too...

Ah, I was all alone again.

----- The Present. -------

It's been a thousand years since I was put here.

I wondered when he will arrive.

I'm getting hungry... I better find someone to drink blood from.

As I began looking That's where I stumbled upon Haruki.

He saw me. He was talking to ghosts too...

Just like the story.

Will I truly be saved?

He seemed like a big brother figure to me...

I respected him and Helped him.

And then well... I died.

or so I thought but I'm in this white space... All alone.

All I can do is Have hope that one day He will come and save me.
