The blinding lights emitted by an unknown source behind the door starts dying down as Lucian starts moving forward and follows the mysterious voice... As soon as he steps inside, the lights disappear leaving only the golden fire lited near the statue of gaia.
The unknown voice whispers to him... "come closer my child..."
Lucian follows the voice and walks toward the golden fire, just as when he was about to get close to the fire... The blinding lights were once again emitted and as soon as Lucian opened his eyes this time he found himself in a big library and with the same statue of gaia in front of him.
He spent countless hours perusing through the library... Lucian hears the voice once again and it leads him into a room where he finds a beautiful lady sitting as if it is waiting for someone...

Time passes without us exchanging words and that's when the lady spoke.
"You have grown up well, your clothes suits you well now."
The familiar voice touches Lucian's heart as if digging through his deepest memory... "mommy..." he mutters
The lady stands up and goes towards him... "Lucian... You're grown up now, that's good" a faint smile is shown as she looks straight to Lucian whose expression can't be tell.
"I won't expect you to forgive this mother of yours for leaving without a word but... Lucian mommy love you." The lady embraces Lucian with tears down to her cheeks.
"mom, you're warm..." Lucian felt the warmth and comfort in his mother's arm but there's still a part of that young boy that can't help but question the reason why his mom has to leave.
That part of him can't help but ask "Why did you and dad leave?" Lucian tries to hold back his tears as he knows that what he want is not the reason but instead an excuse for him to understand them and accept them once again.
Lucian is scared that the answer might not be what he wants to hear but he knows that he's ready to face anything just for everything to be clear.
"Lucian, my dear son... I'm sorry but I can't tell you yet but one day you'll know it yourself, until then strengthen yourself enough to face any battles you need to walk through."
"If you're here then that must mean you have already found it... I leave that message for you to realize your dreams and also to inform you about the world outside."
"some day you'll encounter some of them, they're called players unlike the humans of the empire their different but that doesn't mean you should trust them deeply,
The only one you can trust and rely on truly is you and yourself only."
The lady starts to fade, as if light is absorbing her. Lucian didn't let go of her mother until it disappears completely leaving only a message
