(1st PoV Reo)----
Time passed by and the moon now was hanging in the sky. I noticed that there's no any star or anything in the clear dark sky.
'Bring back old memory.... to think this was that kind of the world....' I smiled a little while glancing at the sky without stopping my track.
It's been a few hours since I began to run, I think I almost reaching to my destination as the trees that surrounding me decreased.
------
'Something off that keep bugging me since start... what kind of forest is this....' I mumbled as I looking back to the forest.
I finally get out from the forest not long ago. Reorganizing my mind and ignoring the strangeness of the forest I turn back and started to walk toward vast meadow where a tall wall with a flickering light could be seen.
'but... with my clothes... no money.... it might be troublesome...' I stopped my track suddenly.
"Who..." I frowned while taking a step back.
A ripple appeared not far in front of me, it was darker than the night color, so I could recognize it.
After a few moments it became bigger with size of adult, the ripple started to distorted as a spark of black lightning spreading around the ripple
After a few second, a fair skinned hand appeared from the ripple. After that a legs with a black stocking and black shoes came out from the ripple.
'Stocking?.. but those familiar feeling...' I feel alerted and weirded at same time.
Not long after that, the figure came out from the portal, it was a girl around 18 with height around 160cm, she has an otherworldly beauty. A long ash-colored hair, fair white skin, a silver colored pupil with black eyes, she also has a perfect body for a girl around her age. She wear a tortilla colored trenchcoat with a black sweater within, and a long skirt with same color.
There she was standing there while looking at me as the ripple gradually disappeared.
'She gave off a elegant and calm aura around her, but the way she look at me with that affection gaze....Not only that.. her gesture... felt familiar'
"What..." I mumbled softly. She then chuckled.
"We met again.... Reo..." she said, her voice was soft and gentle, it's was looks like someone I know. I kept silent waiting for my answer, but then she opened her mouth as she gave me an understanding look.
"I'll let you know... but first... [Shatter]" I felt like a sound of glass shattered, then I started to turn back, there I could see the space shattered, and a girl could be seen in that place.
She has a long silky silver hair that grow until her waist. She has a black eyes, a fair white skin with a slender body that wearing a white and black strapless suit that exposing her shoulders, a short black shirt with glowing silver circuit-like string and two tail on the side with a white artificial flowers on it. In the left side of her head there's a black hairpin that looks like four pointed star with half size of palm. Meanwhile in both of her hands there's a black elbow gloves with silver glowing circuit-like string on it.
Her face was pale as fear could be seen in her eyes. I just look at her and asked calmly.
"Since when...." She looks frightening, her body was trembling, but she forced her mouth to move.
"Unconscious... forest...." she said in a low voice.
'That time huh...'
"Who are you.." before she could talk I heard a voiced behind me.
"Lucia... A Higher being in this world.... Say Reo.... What are you gonna do with her?" She said, hearing last part of her word, I could imagine she smiled mischievously.
'That would not happened...' I shook my head while getting rid of that thought.
"It's fine... she didn't have a bad intention toward me anyways...." I said while taking a glance at my back for a moment. After that I look back and see the girl, Lucia was keep silence while lowered her head and not uttering a single word.
"How do you know..." The girl behind me asked.
"The looks at her eyes..." I said then started to turn back. There she look at me with in silence, as she was about to say something I interrupt her.
"Anyways let's go and walk toward the city while talking about it..." I said while walking toward the city, then she smiled.
"Sure..." she said with gentle voice. She looks like she waited me. As I passed her, she began to move and walk side by side with me, leaving Lucia in the back.
