Eleni looks around, a bothered look on her face as she sees the familiar houses and shops she used to see back then.

It made her think what Draconia looks like now in the real world.

She starts to walk around the village, rejecting some offers that people have given her.

Everyone was lively and the atmosphere was full of joy. Everything was normal and it looked like no trouble is heading towards the kingdom.

"Yah, Park Jisung!" She turns her head at the loud voice of the boy. There she sees a young Park Jisung with another young boy.

Their dragon wings were evident and both still have their scales on their neck.

When you were born a dragon, you will come out from a mother's womb as a normal baby but as you grow older, your ability to turn into a dragon will come.

That is why both young boys still have their wings and scales.

When they reach 15, they will be able to control their ability to transform into a dragon and they will get their powers as well.

Both boys look like they are around 10 years old and that could only mean one thing.

The current Park Jisung is re-living his childhood life. It's as if the teenage boy is having a dream.

Eleni watches the two boys eat the snacks the other has bought whilst she tries to get a hold of why this was happening.

"The curse..." Her eyes slightly widen when she realizes that the curse has a side effect.

The reason why Jisung wasn't breathing is that he was literally re-living his childhood past in his mind.

It will make him think he's back at home as a young boy without any idea he has already grown up.

"It doesn't only weaken you but it makes you live in an illusion, well played," Eleni smirks, walking towards the two young boys.

"Hello, you two." She softly says, not wanting to scare the two.

"Hello, big sister!" The other boy cheerfully says while Jisung hides behind him.

Eleni smiles softly and sweetly. She slightly knees down to make eye contact with the young boys.

"I won't hurt you. I just want to ask why you both are wandering freely. Don't you know there are bandits here." Eleni says,

Jisung flinches and holds onto the other boy's arm tightly. The other young boy tries to look tough as he crosses his little arms.

"We're both 7! We can handle bandits!" The boy says as Jisung only looks more afraid.

"Ah, really? Can you handle me?" Eleni says, making the two boys focus on her.

Eleni's eyes became dark blue with a hint of purple and yellow. It was actually gradient; from dark blue to yellow.

Eleni smiles as the two boys look at her with shock.

"Make way! Make way! The royal family has come!" They heard a guard say as the people start to gather on the side, making a huge path in the middle.

Eleni gets up and starts to watch the royal family pass by in their carriage.

She notices her parents and Jiyong, smiling and waving at people but a wave of shock hits her when she saw her young self.

The young Eleni looked lonely and quiet. She even tries to hide when she makes eye contact with someone.

Eleni looks away, remembering how she felt back then. She snaps out of her thoughts when she felt a pull on her hand.

She looks down and saw the young Jisung alone, holding her hand while his friend had disappeared to somewhere.

"Big sister, why is the sky turning grey?" The younger asks, Eleni looks up and Jisung was correct.

The sky was turning grey and black clouds were forming. She starts to see a glimpse of the red moon showing as the black clouds start to move.

"We need to hide. War is coming." She says, tightly holding Jisung's hands as she runs her wah through the crowd.

She takes glances at the sky, seeing how worst it can get.

She enters an unknown building, seeing no one is inside. She quickly locks the door and covers all the windows before turning her gaze to the young Jisung.

"Jisung, listen to me." She walks towards him, kneeling down as the boys become confused.

"How do you know me?" He softly asks, Eleni pats his head before hugging the young boy.

"Listen to me... this is an illusion." She says,

"Illusion? What do you mean, big sister? Is the black sky an illusion?" The boy asks and Eleni breaks the hug, looking directly at Jisung's eyes.

Her eyes were glowing the same colors as before.

The familiar sensation of power and energy running through her veins once again.

"Park Jisung, you are not 7! You are 18 years old! This is an illusion, this is not real! You're a teenage boy who is unconscious." Eleni says,

The young Park Jisung blinks a couple of times, not understanding what Eleni is saying.

"What do you mean big sister? I'm 7 years old!" Jisung says as Eleni hears thunders and screams outside.

"Park Jisung, you are a teenage dragon. You study at Enchanted High. You are friends with Chenle and Renjun." She says, her hands on his shoulders.

"Snap out of it and get out of this illusion. Park Jisung!" She shouts, slightly shaking the young boy.

She felt a huge wave of energy hit them. She looks around, noticing everything is frozen on its place.

She walks towards the window and peeks. People are frozen, the sky is frozen, basically, everything is frozen.

The next second, she hears a loud thud behind her. She turns her gaze around, seeing the teenage Jisung unconscious on the floor.

The young Park Jisung is nowhere to be seen.

She walks closer to Jisung, sitting down beside him as she places his head on her lap.

She caresses his head. Her touch was delicate and she notices Jisung flinching a little.

She notices the surroundings around them has started to disappear.

The furniture, the wooden walls and floors are all disappearing into mana. Soon enough, they were under a tree in an endless grassland.

Flowers were blooming, some were already hidden because of the green grass.

Eleni could feel the freshness from the breeze and the leaves from the tree were falling on them.

"Never knew a shy boy like you would have such a calm and beautiful mindset." She mutters and then hears some groans from him.

Jisung opens his eyes, looking at his side and notices the grassland.

He immediately sits up before feeling the grass on his hands. He then turns around and sees Eleni there.

"What happened? Where am I?" Jisung asks, his voice slightly trembling.

Eleni sighs, leaning back on the tree as she keeps an eye on Jisung.

"You got cursed into re-living your childhood in an illusion. Snapped you out of it and now, we're in your mind." She says, crossing her arms.

Jisung looks around, noticing how peaceful his mind looked despite him overthinking most of the time.

Is it because he was unconscious?

"The others are probably experiencing the same as you... living their childhood because of the curse." Eleni exclaims,

Jisung picks up a flower before taking Eleni's hand. He gently places the flower on her palm.

"Thank you but if I'm conscious again, won't the curse still weaken me?" Jisung asks,

Eleni nods, placing the flower he gave her beside his ears.

"Which is why once we got out of here, you'll stay asleep but we'll be going to my mind."
