"Alright everyone, that''s it for today! Good job!" Jean emerged from the shielded room with a clapping hand. Then came Nate who looked like he just woke up from a nap. Alexander a this point was really exhausted. They''ve been training for hours now and his old, powerless self might''ve collapsed then.

    "Your majesty! You were amazing with that arrow!" Vexxanna came to me with her eyes glimmering.

    "Ah- well it''s actually nothing. I''s he least I could do." I shyly replied as I smiled at her.

    "What?! What do you mean that it''s the least that you could do! No one does it like you your majesty. I might''ve only seen one archer which is you but I''m sure that nothing compares to your ability with that weapon." I laughed at how enthusiastic she was at praising me. Opening my mouth, I was about to talk back when I heard Nate''s voice calling for me..

    "Your majesty. We must go now. You have dinner with the others!" The others looked defeated when they heard such announcement from Nate as they wanted to have dinner with me tonight.

    "I''m afraid mother has called me." I tried to joke which was effective as my teammates faces immediately lightened up as they laughed. Nate on the other hand was far from being amused.

    "Let''s have dinner sometime. And who knows, it may be inside the royal quarters." My hands waved at them as I started to walk towards Nate but when I did turn around, I saw the excitement on their faces especially Leo who looked like a kid who got promised of a great present from someone.

    "Have a good night your majesty!" All of them said unanimously with their heads bowed down.

    "Jean? Are you going with us?" I asked Jean who was with the others.

    "Ah, I am flattered your majesty but I think I might pass. I too feel exhausted despite not doing anything." He chuckled with his deep voice. I only nodded and waved at everyone once again before Nate and I left the area.

    Nate gave me a towel to which I am thankful for because I was practically drenched in my own sweat but I did not smell anything aside from the fragrance I sprayed on me this morning.

    "I have to say your majesty. What a fine actor you are." Nate snickered. I glared at him before I gave a word.

    "Nate. Not here." He immediately stayed quiet after apologizing. When we got inside, I practically dragged myself to the shower and cleaned myself. I was feeling really tired that my eyes were feeling very heavy and so was my body. I quickly dressed comfortably before jumping on the bed.

    "You have two hours to rest your majesty. I''ll come back later to wake you up. I''ll just make preparation for this evening."

    "Okay Nate. Thank you." My eyes were closed when I spoke to Nate. I only knew that he left when I heard the door close and after that, sleep was upon me.

    "Alexander. Come to me." My eyes fluttered open as I heard a very familiar voice. When my vision started to stabilize, I came to a realization that I was no longer in my room but was in a different place. I was outside specifically. The bed was here which is weird. I felt like I transported myself to some other place while sleeping.

    I looked around and saw a lot of trees. I was surrounded my tall mountains that was filled with greeneries. The breath of fresh hair made my body relax even more. The sun was up high but it didn''t feel like it''s rays were burning me. Birds were chirping. I could hear the faint noise of the waters on the small stream nearby and I could see butterflies hovering over the huge field of flowers that was around me.

    "Alex." I jumped lightly as someone called me. I turned around and saw three people who I have never seen before. They were wearing such garments that I haven''t seen too. They looked ethereal they could almost resemble the gods.

    A lady smiled at me and my heart felt at ease in an instant. She held her hands towards me and I took it without hesitation. When my hand touched hers, it felt like I was in the clouds. I got out of bed and followed her and the other two men who looked like they were in their thirties but still looked very young and handsome.

    "Do you know where we are?" One of the man spoke. His voice rang loudly as if we were in some secluded place for his voice to bounce back. I only shook my head as I looked at the surrounding.

    "This is where you inherited your powers sixth one. At this place. Where the gods were betrayed by their fellow god." My eyes widened as realization hit me. They are the gods that fell from their pedestal."

    I immediately got to my knees and bowed before them. I also remembered about me cursing them which made me even more nervous that I suddenly was.

    "Rise Alexander. One shall not bow to his kind." I looked up at them with a confused stare. I do not get the things that they are saying.

    "We wanted to visit you Alexander. As soon as your power came about. But I must also say that it is such shame that it didn''t dare show on the right time and you had to deal with an abyss mage who is not what he seems to be." The lady spoke.

    "I- I do not understand." I spoke being more confused.

    "Young one, something has awakened in your world and we fear that is something that yearns to steal what we gave to you." The other man spoke.

    I stood up and looked at the three of them with my face all confused.

    "My powerful lords, I am afraid that I do not make any sense of whatever it is that you are saying." Stated I truthfully.

    "Be vigilant Alexander. Old memories have been locked away. The devil prey on you in the coming days. Figure the truth and find the man who went on to look for you. The devil will not only use you, but him too. The promise you gave to each other still remains. But we are bothered as it may get washed out by the storm that will give you a drowning rain. Find him Alexander and be united once more. That is the only way to defeat the devil who has conquered the land before."

    I was about to ask them once more when I noticed someone calling me.

    "Alexander! My love!" My eyes were wide as I turned around and saw someone from afar.

    "Go to him Alexander. Before it''s too late." I looked back at the gods with wide and teary eyes. I was no longer in the position to make sense of what was happening. I just started to run to where the man was, but despite my efforts. No matter how hard I try to run faster, the gap between us seems to be widening. I ran and ran but a man who was dripping in blood emerged on my way towards the person in the distance.

    "I''m going to kill you!" I screamed as the man who was drenched in blood came running at me with a dagger.

    " Death shall come upon you for I will take what is mine!"

    "Gah!" I gasped as I sat up from my bed. I looked around and realized that I was in my room. It was all a dream. My heart was beating abnormally as the same went for my breathing. My throat felt very dry and my body was really cold.

    I sighed one more and dropped my body on the bed. I have never been so thankful to be in the same old room that I am in now.

    I got out of bed and went to grab a glass of water. I started to prepare for tonight''s dinner, trying to evade the thoughts that wants to invade my mind. I shouldn''t think about it. Not now or ever. That was only a dream, a work of the mind. It''s even more unrealistic than how it should be. Meeting the gods who has long departed this dimension.

    I picked out a casual suit for tonight as this was only going to be a normal dinner. I sighed once more and went on to fix my hair inside the washroom. Facing the mirror, I combed my hair neatly as I stared at my reflection. Everything was normal until I saw something on the side of it. It was hiding behind the wall but I could clearly see the half of its face which was peeking. The hairs in my body raised as I saw its red eyes and creepy stare. I didn''t know what happened but I just screamed and shouted for Nate.
