When they turned on the light, it left a blue hue over the room. In the center of the room was an old fashioned record which played the familiar music they heard, and throughout the entire room were instruments, which had grown a bit dusty, but were still standing in good shape.

Nina made her way to the record, brushing her fingers on the chimes along the way. She cut off the music.

"I don't recognize all these instruments," Patricia claimed.

"Some of them are ancient Egyptian," Eddie told her. "Like this." Eddie picked up a trapezoid-shaped wooden plank with strings stretching across from either end, and with metal pegs at the top end. "It's a Qanun."

"And you know this...how?" Patricia asked.

"We remember all this stuff," Nina told her and Fabian. "From past Osirions and Paragons most likely, but it's all in our memory. I didn't know these memories could be passed down."

"Why would these be here though? And even though many of them are ancient Egyptian, why would either of you be this connected to them?" Fabian questioned.

"It's not just the instruments," Eddie claimed. "It was also the music, but this whole room is just a part of our history."

"Look," Patricia pointed out. She walked a few paces, bent down, and picked up a tape recorder. "Another recording."

"Shall we go back downstairs and listen to it?" Fabian questioned.

"Maybe it entails the significance of the music," Nina pondered aloud. "Let's go."

The four of them went back downstairs and summoned the rest to the kitchen so they could listen to the recording. Fabian pressed play.

What is this room? I've found a room of such great beauty and significance to me and I cannot pinpoint exactly why. The only excuse I have is distant memory, almost as though from my childhood, but still not quite so. More so another life in another time. The melody drew me to this area I had not at first noticed. And when I entered this room, something strange struck me in the core, and I do not yet know what. The melody was ancient Egyptian, no doubt, and I am forced to believe it'll have some importance in the near future.

"So, we don't yet know what the music does," Nina sighed.

"Maybe-maybe a vision will happen this time," Amber suggested.

Eddie and Nina nodded to eachother and looked towards the others for approval. They both reached for the tape recorder and were instantly tossed into a vision just as their fingertips came in contact with the recorder.

They were tossed to the real world, in Alice's home(the Chosen One at the time). She woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and cried aloud, "Don't go into the room!"

Her breathing was harsh. She glanced to her right, seemingly looking right at Nina and Eddie. She stared there for a while.

"Can she see us?" Eddie whispered.

"She shouldn't be able to," Nina responded.

Alice got out of her bed, her nightgown dropping over her feet. She went towards Nina and Eddie, and they parted for her to keep waking as she passed them and went to the wall right behind them. It had the picture of the Osirion-her Osirion at the moment.

"Damn you," she muttered. Her fingers brushed on the portrait of him. "Why must you do this to me?"

"Ok, this must've happened at the time the Osirion went into the room," Eddie figured. "And Alice is seemingly in love with him?"

"Or worried since he is her other half," Nina suggested.

"I love you. I know I shouldn't, but I do," Alice moaned.

"Ok, maybe she does love him," Nina changed her mind. "Good thinking, Eddie."

Alice turned around, her eyes widening as she clearly stared at Eddie and Nina. "Who're you?"

"Y-you can see us?" Eddie questioned.

"Of course I can see you-how did you get in here?"

"Before anything gets out of hand," Nina chimed-in, "we're the Chosen One and Osirion from your future and currently we're in a vision. We didn't expect you to see us."

"If I wasn't the Paragon myself, I wouldn't have believed you."

"We know what's going on," Eddie admitted. "About the Osirion leaving you to go to the mansion. His family is there as well."

Alice looked down and breathed harshly. "Damien must've assumed he was protecting me. But no...he's hurting me. Tell me, is he alright at the moment?"

Nina and Eddie glanced at eachother. Nina responded, "At the moment."

"Please, take a seat," Alice brushed her hair back as the three of them sat on her bed. "At the moment, you say? No spoilers, please."

"Obviously you're in love with him," Nina said.

"Yes," Alice sighed. "Sadly he has a family of his own, but with us spending so much time together, I don't see how we couldn't have an emotional connection. If the Osirion and Paragon can resist any urge, even without one slip-up, then they truly are-magical."

Eddie and Nina looked at eachother awkwardly.

"Are you two together at the moment?"

"No!" They both exclaimed.

"No," Eddie repeated. "I have a wife, she somewhat has a boyfriend, and we're more brother-and-sister-like than anything else."

"I see. Well, please don't allow me to get to your head. I don't wish to make your lives awkward."

Nina and Eddie knew they were waking up once they heard their friends' voices fading into existence. They farewelled Alice and slowly came back to reality, sitting up from their dreaming position.

"What happened this time?" Joy asked.

"We spoke to the Chosen One," Eddie admitted.

"Did she say something important," Alfie questioned.

"Um, nothing much about our mystery at hand. It was just a brief conversation."

"Yeah," Nina agreed.

~~~~~
Later on, Nina invited Fabian to her room. He sat beside her on the bed.

"Is everything alright?" Fabian asked.

"Yeah, yeah," Nina nodded. "You of course know we're on break now..."

"Yeah..."

"And I want to know what you think about us. Being on this break still hasn't given me much time to think, due to this mystery, so let's just take a moment and think."

Fabian nodded. "Well-well I think we're perfect together."

Nina looked at him for more. "That's it? Hey, Fabian, have you ever had a questions you were just dying to ask me?"

"Yes. Yes, I have. There's actually been one I've had for years."

"Then why haven't you asked it?" Nina questioned.

"Because as many times as I rehearse it in my head, I feel like it won't be perfect."

"What makes you think I need perfect?"

"Because all perfection needs perfect."

They gradually grew a bit closer. Nina continued, "I'm not perfect. I don't want to be perfect. And I don't want a guy who tries too hard to make everything perfect for me, because I like him just the way he is, even if he isn't trying to impress me. He goes overboard in trying to make everything this utopian fantasy that we just can't have, and it hinders him from-"

Fabian suddenly kissed Nina. "Is that imperfect enough for you?"

"Fabian?" Nina gasped. "Since when-"

"-did I choose to be so bold? Did I take the initiative to kiss you without your consent? Nina, I love you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. It's about time I built up the guts to say so. So, I have an engagement ring in my room. Maybe we can have a proper proposal and reconvene from this little 'break'."

Nina smiled and nodded, her head seemingly in the clouds.
