After Vincent had fallen asleep, He soon found himself in a dark space somehow knowing that this was his dream.

A lucid dream he suspected

"Is this how a lucid dream is supposed to look like"

But then he sensed somebody else.

A new presence in his dream.

Vincent turned around and saw his mother with 2 sets of white dove wings behind her.

'Mu-, No this is a lucid dream. I must have thought her up.'

'But then again didn't Azrael say that mum became an angel.'

'Could this….'

Vincent's head spiraled into confusion thus he decided to react to this situation with Caution.

''Son"

"My dear Cadmean, Come here"

He knew that this may be a dream but that did not hinder him from embracing her.

It felt the same to him, the warmth of her hug, the way she caressed his head.

Somehow this made everything that had happened to him fine.

The warmth made him feel so Helpless, weak, scared, and tired. The emotions that he had bottled down since the day that she entered a coma, he let it all out.

The pain he felt anytime he saw her lay lifeless on a hospital bed.

The powerlessness he felt when his superiors took credit for his work.

The anger towards the unfairness of life.

And the joy of seeing his mother well. He let it all out in her embrace.

Dominion Cadmean continued to embrace him, she too was shedding tears.

After all these years she finally reunited with him. She felt pain from seeing her son break down.

''My child, you must have gone through a lot"

Vincent stayed silent as he laid in her embrace, still doubting whether this was still a dream or not.

After a few minutes of hugging and shedding tears, he released her and looked into his mother's eyes.

His eyes held sadness and confusion as he asked, "Are you real".

'Is this a dream?'

'Don't get my hopes up

'Please tell me that it i's not'

As an angel, Dominion Cadmean was quite sensitive to empathy and the waves of emotions her child was giving were frightening.

Vincent looked at her with so much confusion, sadness, loneliness, and anger. She couldn't help but be also taken by sadness.

'Ah, My sweet child. If only I didn't leave you'

"I am real, my child. I took a break from heaven and came to see you."

Vincent nodded then hugged her again.

He wanted to stay here forever, he wished that he could.

But reality is often disappointing.

[I suggest you wrap this up. Your time limit has almost been exceeded]

"System!" He was about to lash out, but his mother stopped him

''Thank you for this opportunity system, I will finish soon.''

[......]

Vincent snapped his head to hear and looked at her with a pleading similar to that of a child.

She chuckled in return but then became serious and looked at him seriously.

''I have to be fast before the system kicks me out''

''Moth~'' He tried.

''My child, I do not belong here."

"I have accomplished my wish and my destiny, now it is time to head back to my place. But first, let me give you a gift''

Dominion Cadmean placed her hand on his head and muttered some words, her hands glowed for a second before settling.

Vincent was confused and about to ask but he was interrupted by the waves of Information entering him.

It was something that he did not know but began to. But it did cause him pain

"Your mental space is not unlocked yet, my child. That is why you feel such pain' but here."

She channeled more energy into her hand which glowed an even brighter light, she place her hand on the floor beneath.

The light spread out from her hand throughout the block expanse and covered it in brightness.

Soon the light receded and the entire former dark space was now a landscape space.

The ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. Beneath them was a path to somewhere.

A mental space of serenity it was now.

"This is the best I can do now my child, The rest would be up to you.''

[Your time is almost running out]

Hearing this, Dominion Cadmean hurriedly slit her wrist with her nail

The blood that dropped out molded itself into a seed, then she summoned a bowl of blood from her pocket space and placed the seed into it.

Soon after the seed absorbed all the blood and it changed into a plump red color.

She proceeded to implant the seed Vincent who was still in a trance.

After that, she slipped a ring into his finger. Vincent had recovered at this moment.

He was still receiving information but ignored it and looked at his mother.

He wanted to say something but then the system stopped him.

[This is enough, I shall eject you now]

Hearing this, Vincent's Mother hugged him tightly and whispered to him.

''My son, whom I am proud of. I know that you will do wonders wherever you go''

''Even though our time is limited, please know that I will be with you every step of the way of your journey''

''So get stronger and reach the heavens, there we shall reunite. But thereafter go beyond heaven and become the one at the pinnacle.''

"You'll be a great man Vincent and this time I shall watch you every step of the way."

"As I should have"

Hearing this Vincent replied with determination.

''Yes mother, I shall do my best''

Dominion Cadmean smiled in response and then the System ejected her from the astral space. Seeing her gone, Vincent's heart clenched but he knew that this was not a goodbye forever.

Vincent decided to leave this space too but before asking the system.

''System''

[Yes, Vincent]

''You are on my side, right?''

[Yes, I am, now and until forever. I will be by your side.]

[All I do is for your good]

''For my good'' he murmured to himself

Vincent did not comment further and requested for the System to put him to sleep.

/////Back in Heaven/////

Vincent's mother had awoken after she was ejected by the System.

When she awoke she found Gabriel cooking in her kitchen

As Angels they didn't need food but they enjoyed the taste thus food was more of a pleasure than a necessity.

Gabriel sensing her awakening went to her and embraced her, Dominion Cadmean hugged her back and let out newfound tears.

''It's okay Ariel, it's going to be just fine. Nothing will happen to him''

''…. I know that it's just that he has grown up so much and I wasn't there to witness any of it.''

Ariel continued to weep in Gabriel's arms, While Gabriel just kept on comforting her

/////With Vincent/////

Vincent had woken up feeling groggy, slow, and somehow different. He proceeded to take a cold shower which shook him up.

After that, He sat on his bed and decided to review what his mother gave him

As he read through what he received he was immediately shocked
