The girl looked at me,softly. The three guards were ready and armed,but I motioned them to stand down.

I walked to her slowly. I faced her,looking straight at her. My eyes had softened,she looked at me."A-Aura..." I smiled softly,we were a good distance apart from each other.

She ran to me hugging me,crying. "Alek...you're here.." Tears streamed down my face. She was shorter than me so she was looking up slightly.

"Sorry to ruin this moment but..Who is she~" Dante asked smirking. "The name's Dante~" she laughed to herself. "I already know your name. I know all your names." She looked at Laurance "Laurance Zhavl", she turned to Garroth,"Garroth Ro'meave"

She finally looked at me "Aura Luna Hunter..my best friend..." I smiled.

"You've..changed.."

Alek smiled softly.

"Thanks..I guess. If change is even a good thing." She chuckled. She was glancing in another direction,I started to worry.

"H-Hey"I looked at her "are you okay? You seem nervous.."

She looked back at me,smiling. "It's just been so long.." Tears were still running down her cheeks. Those tears were tears of joy.

She was laughing while crying,she did that very often. All three guards looked at us. "Girls and their emotions!" They said in unison.

Both Alek and I laughed. We had so much in common.

"Let's take you around the Village." I said,still looking at Alek. She hooked her arm in mine. "Let's go!!" She said with a smile. It's been so long since I've heard and seen her in person. She's grown up so much.

We had started walking around the village. Garroth was talking and explaining everything in his (hot,soft,MCD VOICE *cough* Andy! *cough*) angelic vo-I mean with his soft tone of voice. I had blushed every time he spoke,which was the whole time.

"Huh...So this is the Village?" Alek asked me once the tour was done. I nodded,still blushing.

Alek smirked.

"Don't you dare give me that look!" I snapped. She laughed and smiled,"You still have a crush on him!!". I looked away,rubbing the back of my neck nervously.

"S-S-So wh-wh-what i-i-if I-I d-do! I-It d-d-doesn't matter!!" I added quickly. She giggled and I glared at her,making her giggle again.

I rolled my eyes at her,laughing slightly.

~Time Skip~

Alek had gone out with Cadenza,who was forcing her into new clothes. Aphmau let me stay in the guard tower while the three guys weren't around,so I accepted her offer.

I stood where the balcony was placed,my hands crossed over each other,over the wooden railing.

I looked at the locket I had on. Today's was at golden heart(No not because of the "Golden Heart" himself) locket. I had one for a different day,aka three,the moon,the heart,and...a flame.

I looked at the locket then shot my vision upward,towards the sky. I sighed,missing my family.

I held it close,remembering the good times I had. Tears quickly flooded my eyes with the memories.

All I could think about was how that....

Flame...

That second...

In just a blink of an eye....

Everything is taken away... I cover my face with my hoodie,and I covered my face with my hands. That's when I heard someone was listening..watching from behind.

"Aura,I know you are in pain....."

Garroth...
