Is it a dream, or is it a reality? That is the question some have been wondering. Once you got knocked out you wake up to another side of you, a mature older side of you. What you will see on that side will pain you, the one you met, the one you love changed in time. The question you hold is if its a dream?

Laurence POV

Everyone lined up with posture and well balance. Garroth was next to me as people were shoulder to shoulder. "Attention! Today we commence Training! What you have learned the past week will be put to the test! So listen up Maggots and find the person you will be fighting with!" The commander yelled out, blowing my eardrums out. The commander continued on calling names till they called Garroths name. "Garroth from Okasis, you up against Dante. Laurence from Meteli, your up against Azzura from Bright port!" He yelled again. From bright port! I heard that village was in a war with the western wolf tribe. I looked over to see a women with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes staring at me. She had a green armor with a symbol in the middle that represents Bright port. She started to walk in the direction I was in and stand there with her hands on her hips. "Azzura training to be a guard in Bright port. You must be Laurence from Meteli, am I right?" She hold out one hand for me to shake. "Correct. Nice to meet you Azzura." As I shook her hand. She turned her head slightly as she saw someone. "Garroth?" She asked. I turned to see Garroth looking at her with wide eyes gleaming. "Azzura! I can't believe its you!! You look so different!" As he came and gave her a hug. "You know her Garroth?" I questioned. "Yes, we met in Okasis when we were around 10-11. She then left because her parents got a special offering over there." As he smiled widely. They started to continue there conversation leaving me and a man with blue hair waiting. "Wow... He just left you like that fast." He said. I looked at him with wide eyes. He had blue bush hair, blue eyes, and what seems to be a winter armor set. He had two katanas as his weapon, and he had this small smirk on his lips. "Sorry to ask but who are you? I mean I know your Garroth's component, but I didn't get your name?" I asked. "My name is Dante. I am from a town around a winter environment. Sorry I can't tell you my villages name but that's personal." He stated. I nodded my head in agreement to clarify him that I respected his privacy. I then felt something on my shoulder, something heavy, something metal-y. I looked up to see Garroth, his armor for some reason, made him ...handsome. (I guess this is how the Garmau fans see him) My face turned a bright red as he was that close to me, I... didn't want it to end. "Laurence and Azzura report to the arena!" A guard from Pikro village announced. Azzura and I ran to the arena in a instant flash. "Here are your own weapons we supplied you on." He handed me over an emerald green sword, and Azzura a steel/stone sword. A flash of a memory came in my mind, I was a 5-6 years old when Hayden adopted me. My first gift from him was a rare emerald sword, it was small dagger but I loved it with my heart. I had that dagger for three years until I lost it in the river when me and Cadenza were attacked by these creatures. Dark figures came close to us and told me that it wasn't the last time I will see them. I felt the Emerald sword with my hands, with wide eyes I looked directly at the guard. "H-How did you f-find real e-emeralds?!" I putted back my gloves. "Lord Hayden gave us a small emerald dagger and more supplies to make it better. So, here it is, your emerald sword. You guys have four minutes till the match." As he got out the arena. "Laurence!!!" I heard Garroth yell, coming up to the arena. I then feel him hugging me, my face turned a bright pink and looked at his face/helmet with wide eyes. "Be carful Laurence, Azzura is the most toughest girl I know in and I-I don't want you to get hurt." I opened up a little area in his helmet, looking right into his crystal/ocean blue eyes. "Ill be fine Garroth, j-just don't worry." As we released from our hug. "Are you ready Laurence?" The Pikro guard announced. He turned his head, looking at Azzura, and in response she nodded her head. He raised his hand up then in a flash raised it down. Azzura ran in a flash, while I followed. Our swords clashed into each other as we added forced to our steps. Slowly, I pushed her to the ground, and there she was at the position of surrender. I was pleased to see she quit that easily, strange Garroth warned me that she can knock you out and put you in a comma. I looked over to where Garroth was at, he started to move frantically like he's trying to warn me about something. "LAURENCE!!! WATCH OUT!!!" I looked at him confused until I felt an extreme pain on the back of my head. I hit to the floor as I saw red pouring a bit from my head and nose. My vision went blurry and black hit me, like the darkness.

Light shined in my eyes like I just closed it for a long time, there I stood at a grave. I knelt down as I felt sorrow filling me up, like I couldn't move at all. What happened? I read the grave stone to see who I was morning at. Un-grath, Ungrath was that persons name. What a strange and special name, I looked up to see the background, it was outstanding. Like I was in a village, there next to me was a bridge, and behind me houses and a plaza. There I spotted out Lucindas tower, across from her tower was a bright pink house where Kawii~chan lives, another house with a book on a flag where Emmalyn lives, a family house where Corey, Emma, and Kyle lives, and Cadenza's house. Wait how do I know these people?! I mean I know Cadenza but these other people I have not even heard of, AT ALL!!! "Laurence..." A soothing voice called, it sounded like Garroth but his voice was not that deep. I turned to see a guy with dirty blonde hair, and crystal/ocean blue eyes. It cant be?! Its Garroth, and he looks mature like a 20-30 year old young adult. My head felt light headed as if I'm not used to this weight on my head. I grabbed onto my fiery orange hair and... WAIT A MINUTE!? WHAT HAPPEND TO MY LONG HAIR?! D-DID I CUT IT? "Yes Garroth?" I responded. Hold up a minute as well, my voice sounds fantastic!! Am I a young adult as well?! I touched my hair to feel it short, and... fluffy? I looked at my reflection on a small puddle and to my surprise I was back to my regular self. I had light brown fluffy hair, and got back my blue eyes. How I missed them so... wait how come I decided to get my regular hair back and cut it? I looked up to see Garroth with emotionless eyes. "Aphmau told me that you have the pendent." He eagerly asked. Wait, who in the nether is Aphmau?! "Yes its safe in hands with me, now what do you need?" I responded back at him. "Give me the pendent now. Aphmau told me I can hold it." He growled. "Aphmau never told you at all. I will not and I refuse to give you the pendent!" I snapped back. He came closer to me with a sudden whisper, a whisper freed from telling a person. He took out a diamond sword and smacked me right in the head. He searched in my pockets with pleasure, I looked at his eyes, it wasn't my Garroth I knew. It was a person that was manipulated. He laughed softly and ran away. There I was flat on the ground with no motion at all. My vision went black as my feelings were hurt. Why do I feel so guilty, so sad, so strange? Why am I crying? D-Do I have certain feelings for...Garroth? N-No it cant be, he's my friend. But he makes me feel happy the week I met him. I felt motionless, I couldn't move at all. My legs were wobbly and my head was still in pain.

"LAURENCE!!"

"L-A-U-R-E-N-C-E!"

"I...kinda...like...you..."
