"Center of all"
-Valdan-
"Wait a minute, that thing - the core - is on the way. It's blocking the heart's wound. We gotta move it away!" My anger's flood to my head.
"Calm yourself, Valdan." Ridan told me calmly.
"Listen to him, Valdan. You don't know her thoroughly. That wound - she pointed at the wound - is only an emotional scar from her dream. Although the pain become real, it is not a serious wound after all."
She - the woman that repelled me and told us about the core - stepped closer to Dexx. She bowed down and then whispers something in her ear. Whispers or not, it's magic! The wound started to closed up and then Dexx falls back asleep.
"It's only temporary though. It won't last long. Her wound will start to reopen in time. I don't have any remedy for it. And every time it opens, her life will be shorten." She backed away from her and then looked at me, " Keep this charm. My words are the only one who can calm it. When the wound reopened, put it straight to her chest until she calms down. Be careful with that."
She whispered something to herself again and then she was gone. I ran to where she last stood. I talked to myself, " Who are you??"
An unknown voice answers, " You will know who I am, sooner or later.."
"Val, look at this charm..", Ridan opened up that locket. It's a beautiful locket. Inside it, there's full of an ancient words that no one could read, the 'Hertize'.
"Yeah, it's beautiful. Those words.. It calmed her down, huh? I wonder what does it says.."
"I have no idea. Records about the long-lost 'Hertize' are only 'The Ancestors' and 'The Gifts'. Nothing said about reading it anyway.. Crap, I'm totally lost."
"Me too.."
Ridan stayed beside her, still looking on the beautiful locket. I walked out the room and throw myself into the couch. I slept the whole night. Unpeacefully..
-Ridan-
I stayed beside Dexx while looking at the locket. "What does it mean??" I kept thinking about it until a little, bell-like voice, called me.
"Ridan, you there??" Her face looks really pale.
"Yes, sis. What's wrong? Another nightmare??"
"No. I want to tell you something but promise me you won't tell anyone else even Valdan nor your girl. Please, I beg you.."
I sighed - I hope she didn't hear it - and then smiled to her, "Promise."
"Thank you - Her smile looks sad - This is what really happen..." And she told me everything that happen.
"I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think that's the same Angel you know. It looks the same but has different persona, like something made him to turn that way.." I explained it to her.
"I know maybe he wouldn't be with me together until forever, but at least, I..want to be with him a little bit more longer and I wish he stays that way.." Her eyes are welling up. Tears started to ran down through her rossy cheeks.
"Calm down, Dexx. You don't want Valdan to be more worried about this, don't you??" I tried to calm her down with my advice. She looked at me and nodded but still she keeps crying. I hold her hand tightly. Her freezing hand hold mine tighter.
"Don't leave, brother.. Don't ever leave me when I'm alone.. When I need you..", she whispered to me and then fall back to her sleep.
"I can't gurantee that, sister.. But I will do the best as I can to help you.." I keep holding her hand until I, too, fell asleep.
