Bottle of Stories (98)

Jayson and Kid went outside to experience the cold morning wind. They strolled around the garden of the resthouse. Jayson watched the people return to their homes or continue walking the cement road. Some establishments are prepared in opening their business again like nothing happened. A sweet hum tickled his ears. It was a young and innocent voice harmonizing with the rustling of the leaves. Jayson knew who it was and he wanted to ask him a question. However, he cannot gather the right words to say, so he sat on the ground and let the grass give him comfort. He waited for the song to fade into the wind. He turned his head at the back and saw Kid caressing the plants. "I met you in my dreams." Kid did not stop examining the different shaped plants. "I was there too so I can see how much you changed." "Why do you always talk like we have met before?" "Try punching your gut. I hope that answers your question." He giggled. Jayson raised his brow an

"Why aren't you happy? I thought we are friends?" Leivo paused as soon he felt a cold blade on his neck. "Do not come any closer to Rey." Jayson recovered from the curse but his memories are still intact contrary to what Leivo said. "Jayson, no more fighting!" said Kid. "We can't trust him. He might hurt Rey again," said Annie who is still holding her bow and arrow. "I'm sorry, I was just protecting my parents' wishes. Rey, I'm sorry. I realized that I have no control over my actions and Rey's presence alone can release my own desires. I want justice for my family but it hinders me from making any friends. This is all their fault, the Skar family." Jayson did not believe what Leivo said and he did not put down his weapon. "Can you forgive Skars if they apologize to you?" asked Rey. "No, they can't bring my parent's life back. But you are different, we are friends! You should forgive me.&quo

"Did you hear that? Someone just called my name." Annie and Jayson shook their head. He heard the voice again, it sound more desperate this time. He looked for every house nearby but he see no one. "Who's voice is it again? Annie? But Annie is here." When he turned his head, his friends were not there anymore. That's why he felt something off. The voices of his friends are only on his head but the one who's calling for him goes straight to his ears. He tried to find where the voice came from by walking on the streets until he finally went back on the field and saw the guardian of dreams once again. "I'm now allowing you to leave this place, but before that." The guardian approached him. "I want to give this to you." He touched Rey's forehead and his eyes glow brighter. Everything about Rey's family history flashed in his eyes. It was very detailed and it gets to the point where he saw what his ancestor did to Kid up to his

Annie released another attack for Leivo just to test how strong his shield is. It showed a little crack that gave her a glimpse of hope that she can beat him. She nocked her arrow once again when a strong wind disrupt her balance. She also prepared for this too, as long as she keep her distance she can bring damage to him again. Kid can focus on protecting Annie now that the museum is basically empty. If some unforeseen events happen again, they can easily pick up their momentum and defeat Leivo. "Stop sabotaging my plans! You just want to take Rey from me why are you doing all of this? Guardians, really?" Leivo seems desperate but Annie did not let that stop herself from attacking his magical shield. Together with his ability to control the wind harshly, he let out a request to Kid. "Hey guardian, tell your friend to stop interfering!" "What are you talking about? I'm not a guardian, I'm just a kid," he said while still hiding. "I can't w
