Prologue
In the forested area, Harliander is looking for an unfamiliar plant, which no specialist has yet to discover for his research. He is an expert in medicine and he's looking for a plant that could cure cancer.
However, he had been around for a few hours but he had never seen even a single leaf.
Harliander
Damn, I couldn't find one *sigh*. This tour of me is worthless! Why is it that my choice of place is here?
He couldn't do anything but to complain. Nobody cares, he is alone in the middle of the forest.
Harliander
This job is a pain in my ass! *he jokingly said* I only wasted my breath.
But why stop now? He tried to cheer himself up.
Harliander
Alright! I have to keep going. I need to find any body of water to cool myself down. It's burning hot.
Thankfully, he had seen lake. He jumped over it and enjoy the coldness. Unexpectedly, he stepped onto something. He picked it up and saw a glowing book.
It was blinding. He scanned the wet book and between those pages, he saw a red stone.
Everything is scattered. The books, the chairs... everything. I don't want to see this. No!
My grandfather... I can see that he's sweating hard.
Harliander
Where is it? *panicking*
8 years old Elian
Grandpa!!
Harliander
Elian, come closer.
8 years old Elian
What is wrong grandpa? *he comes closer*
Harliander
Remember, if anything happens, I want you to run as fast as you could. Do you understand me? *He taps Elian head with his shaking hands*
8 years old Elian
*nods* B-but I don't understand you.
Harliander
Damn it! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have agreed with your parents to let you stay here for some time.
I am confused, why is he cursing? Is something really going to happen? Something bad?
8 years old Elian
Grandpa, I asked mom and dad myself to let me stay here. It is not your fault.
Harliander
No, no, no. *he shakes his head* You're such a good kid. I don't want to let anything bad happen to you. Not you. I already lost your grandmother. *tears are now flowing down his cheeks*
He is still looking for something, when I stumble on a book. I fell.
Harliander
There!! *he yells*
He pulled me closer to him and opened the book. He took a stone out and put it inside my hand.
Harliander
Take it and hide it. Do you understand m--- *eyes widened*
Someone barged inside the house! Monstrous creatures!
They are very tall with a rounded face, their eyes.... is never to be found. They have a skinny body and their hand, it touches the ground.
Harliander
Elian, Run!!! RUN!! *he drops Elian from the window*
8 years old Elian
GRANDPA!! No! *Crying*
Harliander
Don't ever look back!
Before I could run, I heard a tearing sound. I followed grandpa's order. I run as fast as I could and hid myself behind a large rock. I don't know where I am.
8 years old Elian
*Shaking* Grandpa... pls don't leave me.
I gasped when I looked back. The house is still visible and--- it exploded.
8 years old Elian
No---!!!!
I tried to run back, but my parents held me. They are here.
Eilene
Elian stop it! Don't resist!
8 years old Elian
B-but Grandpa *crying hard*
Remer
I heard an indifferent sound with screams when your grandpa called me. He said someone barged the house, and we have to save you. We already called the police, but we're too late. *hoarse voice, he is trying not to cry*
Eilene
*tears flowing* He blames himself to what happened. He said, he should have known that this will be going to happen.
I dropped myself to the ground. I couldn't do anything... all I did was to watch the firefighters turn the large fire off the house.

There's a knock outside the door.
"Elian! Elian!"
A moment of silence.
"Wake up!"
Elian
*Eyes widen suddenly* Ah!!
Assistant Grace
Wake up Elian!
Elian
Oh, shoot!! *slaps his head* It's Monday today! Why the hell did I forgot that?
Assistant Grace
*Knock outside the door* Don't you want to have breakfast? I cooked for you.
Elian
Sure Grace, I'll come after I get myself ready.
Assistant Grace
No problem.
Elian
* Close his eyes tightly* Why do I always have to dream the same dream every night? I don't understand grandpa.
Elian
This always hunts me. Those unidentified creatures... where did they come from? *cover his mouth with the pillow* Aaaargh!
Elian
*Massages his head* I couldn't sleep well last night. My head is f-ing hurting.
Elian looks at the table beside his bed and open the drawer under.
There, the red stone is being kept.
Elian
I couldn't leave this here. I have a big suspicion that that creature will come back again to take this. I won't let that happen.
Elian
I have to bring this with me, always.
He gets himself ready and went to Grace after that.
Assistant Grace
So... How's sleep?
Elian
*Emotionless* Great.
Assistant Grace
Last night, I heard you shout. *Chuckle* I thought I have to break the door just to check if you are okay, but everything fell into silence. So I also thought that maybe you are just having a bad dream.
Elian
*smile* What about mom and dad?
Assistant Grace
Same as always, they went for a business trip. Maybe they'll come back after a week.
Elian is enjoying his food when he sees the glowing red color inside his pocket.
Elian
Oh, right! I almost forgot, our first period subject is our vacant today which is a good thing 'cause I have to go somewhere.
Assistant Grace
That's not a problem at all, just keep me updated or else your parents will kill me.
