Cough* Cough*, excuse me but my throat was hurting and why I write that you ask..., well I don't know either :D

Anyhow thank you for once again reading my latest chapter and so I wish to you happy reading :D

Sherah's POV

Well it looks like I luckily got out of that situation or else I don't really know what I should say to Saladin's question even though I really have no clue as to why I blushed a lot much more frequently.

I think it's normal for a girl to have those expressions if they were beside a man they like but I don;t have that sort of feeling towards Saladin.

Though I got to admit that I really can't seem to hate him anymore even though he was an asshole.

There was one thing that made me feel happy right now which at the same time want to hit myself due to how I finally befriended Saladin.

The inn was in complete tatters and I don't know why my room was the only one that didn't receive the blow.

Even the back of the inn was covered in rubbles from massive debris laying waste on it.

I went out the inn and wanted to check as to what is gonna happen to the town since this attack and I found out that a lot of survivors were repairing their houses while some were still mourning on their lost ones.

The paved cobblestone streets which was the most walked place in this town were messed up in some of the sides causing it to look like those pathways in ruin places.

My front hair was getting on the way and so I placed it behind my ear while making sure that there isn't any dirt on my face though I should have done it earlier before Saladin saw it, oh what am I saying...

The noise of hammers hitting nails, soft cries, and especially the sound of flames getting washed away by water was all I can hear.

It was getting dark as the sun in the horizon was getting lower than before and the bright white moon appeared to its opposite direction in the sky.

Clouds were bundling up while moving constantly at their shores which honestly gave me distant memories where I used to sit down with my father on the grassy plains while also being with my most closest friend and watch the sky without a care in the world.

It kind of made my heart ache from remembering that everyone in the past that I know is gone except for my mother who has only me to take care of her and the only one that can save her from her disease.

Though now I can't do that as I'm far away and the teleportation would take time before it is fully ready which made me only pray that my mother's disease doesn't get worser before I meet her again.

There are a lot of things that would end me before, if it weren't for a certain someone and that is Saladin which I kept on thinking if I should give him something as a thank you gift but that isn't my type of thing to do that.

Though who says it is not worth to at least try which made me think as to what he likes and remembered that he needs his kitchen tools but where am I supposed to find those if the town is still in a after crisis state.

I didn't know what to do but I had an idea and that was visiting the black smith place which is nearby and I always saw Saladin entering it every time as i look for food sources with Kioni before.

The stalls that Saladin look at the most were obliterated but didn't have their weapons or precious scrolls in them as I walk past it while feeling the slight breeze of the air shuffle some of my hair upwards.

After some time I finally reached inside the black smith shop which was also devastated but was in a state of getting repaired by the owner who was carrying some of the rock inside the shop out which I asked if I could help but he declined my offer while saying

"It is not the job of a young lady to be carrying rocks as this old body of mine looks frail but still is superb from remembering all the experience bundling up from doing smithery" - Old man

I then smiled and ignored what he told me not to do which I then started carrying the largest boulder out the shop which made the old man shocked as to how I can do that.

It is not like my strength is overwhelming, it is just that I'm carrying a boulder almost double the size of a normal ball and if you compare mine to Saladin it is like comparing a pebble and a house.

He kept on telling me to stop helping him as it may hurt his pride as a man and at that moment I already knew that I should ready give a halt to helping but when I actually did, every thing that needed to be cleared was already done.

The old man then asked me after noticing that his shop was cleared saying on what he can do for me if I gone to all this trouble on helping him which I then told him to prepare me something that I won't share on what is it to anyone except maybe... later.

He was kind of shocked to what I said but quickly dived to making what I requested which I payed for it before he could actually start working and you might be asking as to how I have money and even if I did why didn't pay for it back then at the inn for my own room well to tell you the truth, i try avoid using my money as much as possible as I was saving for enough cash to purchase a remedy to cure my mother disease and would do anything which so I even let Saladin pay for the inn room instead.

I didn't want to lay back and just sit down while await till the my request is done which so I decided to read a book that i took out from my pouch.

There was one thing that made me interest on this book much more even though I reread it so many times and what is it you ask well..., it is the romance in it.

I'm kind of the type of person who likes reading so it can pass my time or actually anything that helps me relieve my boredom.

After reading I don't know how many pages, I felt sleepy and made a yawn which my body was directly telling me it is bed time.

When I looked outside through the window, the sky already darkened and the surrounding houses that were getting repaired by people who got their lanterns and torches to kindle the area which made the place look like something that I would enjoy looking at for good amount of time.

It might just be that I enjoy the moonlight on the sky or it just gives me vivid memories from when I small where I would play hide and seek beside the river with my friend.

The old man approached me with a box on his hand which was filled with darkened coal while showing scars that imply on how experienced he was with the forge.

I then told him while grabbing hold into the box with both my arms saying

"So how did it go?, did you make it perfectly with no failures?" - Me

He then laughed to my words and then replied to my words saying

"Off course it is well made and with no failures, this is the first time I heard some one say that in ages" - Old man

There was no point to look inside as it will ruin the straps on the box which so I gave my farewells to the old who also gave his but included words stating that I should return once again in a while and bring the one I will give this to with me.

I then nodded and gave a gesture of waving my hands to indicate a bye which then I was going to step out of the black smith shop until he told me to wait a moment.

When he said that, I turned around to see why he called me and then I heard him say

"Girl, do you believe in happy endings in life?" - Old man

When he said that, it made me think and then I replied while having a grin

"No and never will as life is filled with surprises" - Me

The old man then laughed and told me that I answered one of the best thing ever he heard.

After that, I continued making my way towards the inn while thinking as to why the old man asked me that.

There was no point to think a lot about it and so I just heeded to what I am carrying while wondering as to what his reaction would be when he received it.

Though I wonder if it would look strange for me to give him something like this just because my personality doesn't suit it at all.

Oh who cares, if he doesn't like it then I'll use it instead.

Saladin's POV

I am right now inside Sherah's and Kioni's room while sitting on a chair and checking my bag as to what happened with the creature I captured.

You might be asking as to why I am alone in this room..., well Kioni told me that she will be useful by training with Leth and Yin which so that is how I'm the only one here and Sherah disappeared while not knowing to where she gone.

Though I don't understand as to how Kioni would like to be useful... as I think it may be because she couldn't do anything when I asked her to stay put inside the shelter back then.

There was no point to over think that and so I pay more attention as to what I'm carrying and that is the jar with the creature inside it who is sleeping peacefully.

I shook the jar which made her(the creature) awake and got up immediately while hissing towards me after she found out on what I did.

Then I noticed that she looked at her body and there was no clothes which made her fluster a lot and fall to the ground while covering her private parts with her hand.

She then screamed to me saying that I'm a pervert while demanding for some clothes.

This made me kind of pissed as not only was it hard to organize my bag with just one arm but now the creature who cut off my arm is demanding something from me!

I then looked at her with my eyes filled with nothing but hate and killing intent which made her feel fear and crawled at the very back of the jar which is farther from me while showing an expression of anxiety.

There was something that I wanted to know from her but before that I grabbed a sheet of cloth from my pocket and I placed the jar on the floor due to how I lack one more arm.

I slowly then opened the jar after I placed the cloth on the floor and the creature was pleading for forgiveness as I turn the jar while also proposing that she would live to as a servant for me which then after I removed the lid from the jar, I dropped the sheet of cloth inside it which then made the creature confused.

Then I said to her to use that as a way to cover her body which she quickly did and then after words told me "Thanks" while having a downcast expression.

I then started asking questions after knowing her name as its bothersome calling her 'the creature or her' every time and so I found out that her name was 'Qino' which I though she was lying until she said to not make fun of her cute name and so it made me understand that she was telling the truth.

Thought to my self at first and then surveyed her closely and noticed that her scales were not there anymore while her feet was of a human but the only thing that didn't change was her cat like tail.

This made me curious and so I asked her as to why does she look like a human which made angry and yell at me stating that this is her original form.

I looked at her face which was showing her tearful red pupil eyes while she grit her teeth tightly and her silver short hair covers her other other eye.

Her head was then turning red from my gaze directing into this half naked creature or human or something.

Then I asked another question which was stating if she could turn to that creature I saw before again which she shook her head slowly while also I can see depression from her eyes.

Qino then told me that she isn't suppose to say anything more than this or else she will get killed.

I then told her that I would shake the jar if she would not tell which made her look at me with a surprised look while being filled with anxiety and says

"You would not dare..." - Qino

Then I replied to her statement while making a grin saying

"Are you sure that I wouldn't?" - Me

She then looks at the glass on the jar and then averted which then she looked at the sheet of cloth covering her, this made her gulp her saliva and look at me once again while having pitiful eyes.

Qino admitted her defeat and would tell me the answers I needed in exchange for knowing my name and what is my purpose in life which I answered easily and for the part of my purpose was quite as I don't know what might it be.

When I answered her question, she was giving me a doubtful look but then sighed and told me that she is ready to answer my inquires.

I asked her the first question and that was stating on what she is and also her companions doing here which Qino replied by saying

"I'm here because I was assigned to take over this town and those were not my companions but more like disposable soldiers or minions." - Qino

There was nothing to say about what she answered as it was quite simple and so I moved on to the next question and that was asking her if she knows anyone by the name Klinton (my uncle) which she honestly replied by saying she does not have a clue while even stating if it is some sort of food which made me believe her immediately.

I sighed due to how I was hoping that I could get some clue about him due to how he kept on mentioning the continent Vandraxian.

Qino was shivering while holding into the sheet of cloth tightly which made me feel sorry for her but I kept on remembering myself that she took my arm... but that doesn't give me an excuse to not treat a lady if she is in need even though what I am doing is quite cliche for a typical hero.

Author notes: "Lucas would be proud" - Monster Girl Quest reference

I placed my hand on the jar and used my enchantment while controlling it so that it wouldn't burn her alive but give her a feeling of warmness.

This made her confused as to what i have done while she opens her mouth while having a dumbfounded expression which revealed two of her pointy teeth.

Qino then looked at me and then blushed while covering half of her face with the sheet of cloth which then she told me

"D-do you have some sort of plan for treating me this well, or is this my last time that I can enjoy living until you bring me in a world filled with pain and agony?" - Qino

When she was saying that, I felt her cuteness getting into me which I manage to prevent it from remembering myself that she cut off my arm and who knows how many she killed.

She then asked if I have any other questions which I replied 'yes' and then asked on how her form changed while her size turned really small.

This made her expression look sad and then she said that I killed her when she was on her evolved which now caused her to revert back to her original self but with a price of temporally being small for a week or so though she can't turn back to the same creature again.

I then asked on what would happen if I kept her in jar even when one week passes, this made her eyes look to mine while being filled with anxiety and told me that I wouldn't want to know the outcome.

There was nothing worser than imagining a girl getting larger from getting stuck in a jar while thinking on what might happen.

Qino was thinking about something and then said to me

"Thank you" - Qino

When she said that, it made me confused and then I replied asking on why she said that to me which then she said

"I kind of disliked my creature form as its only abilities were growing my nails long, extending my tongue which in truth is gross as I get to taste the people and the final thing was the pestering scales on my body but I didn't mind the lizard legs as it was comfy to tell the truth which so that is the main reason why I'm thanking you" - Qino

This made me interested as to what she said and then I asked if she can attain her creature form once again but will it be the same and how can she get that power again.

She then replied to my question saying

"No my evolved form would be depending mainly from what creatures I ate and to your question about if I can obtain the form again then yes if I ate another creatures meat raw though it is disgusting" - Qino

This made me curious and was thinking on what would happen if humans did the same thing which then I asked her and she replied by bluntly saying no as only little amount of races can get that benefit.

Qino eyes were getting drowsy until I heard her yawn which made me look outside the window and noticed that it was night already and so I can't blame her if she wants to sleep now.

I then told her that she can sleep which made her shocked and questioned if I would do anything to her body while even playing around but I didn't say anything and just shook my head stating a no.

Her face was showing relief and then she cuddled up while sitting down and slept.

I've been wondering as to how this little adorable girl though she was a little older before, can kill innocent people while taking half of my right arm.

There was a little more that I wanted to ask her but I think I have to save it for later as she is sleeping currently.

I then placed the jar while closing the lid inside my bag carefully while making sure to not wake her which was making me think as to why I'm treating her like this and I can only say one thing to that, it might be due to her looks has changed while looking little younger than me, also don't forgot as to how she acted towards me.

When I closed my bag, I heard the door knock and so I told who ever was knocking to enter after making sure my composure was right while there is nothing out the ordinary in the room.

The person that entered was Sherah while carrying a medium sized box hat is colored grey while having a strap around it.

Sherah's POV

When I entered the door, I saw Saladin sitting on a chair while looking at me with curiosity as to what I'm carrying.

I then asked as to where are the others are which he replied telling me they are off to visit their house as this place has only one room left which makes me and Saladin sharing the room.

Though I didn't really care much about that right now as I'm quite excited as to what expression he is going to make after he found out what is inside the box.

Saladin asked on what is up with me carrying this box which I replied telling this is for him.

This caused him to have a doubtful face as he stands up and grabs the box with only his left arm and then he asked on what is inside in it which I told him to see for himself.

When I said that, he gone over nearby the bed and placed the box on it and was trying to remove the strap with only his arm which made me feel sorry as to how it was my fault he is now struggling and so I asked if I could help.

He accepted my offer and so I opened the strap which was tied tightly together and waited for him to open the lid of the box.

Saladin opened it, and when he saw what is inside, it caused him to look back towards me while having a surprised look as inside the box contained a pan, a well made knife and other cooking tools that were outstandingly made while showing on how that old man talent from before.

He then asked if I was playing some sort of trick on him which I replied by saying it is not any sort of trick as I did it in a way to repay a portion of my debt towards you.

I think it was worth it as I get to see Saladin smile at me while telling me thanks and looks at the tools carefully.

There was one thing also that made me think and that was on I deeply appreciate the way he whole heartedly gives his gratitude from what I gave him, even though... it means I have to work extra hard to get enough money as those tools weren't cheap.

I was asked by Saladin if there is something that I always wanted, but I didn't give him any answer but I actually do want to taste his cooking though it is quite embarrassing to say.

Saladin then asked me if I wanted a meal from him as if he read my mind which then I can't hold myself to decline his offer and so I made a slow gesture of nodding while slightly being red.

He then told me that we should go downstairs as the food materials are stored there and that is how I spent my night eating Saladin's home made food which was bread with a bowl of spicy sour soup filled with vegetables.

Though I noticed that he looks at me more frequently then before while he was cooking which made me think that I had something on my face.

I finished eating the food he made while also he used the cooking tools I gave him in way of delicacy which kind of showed as to how he cared about it.

I never saw him being this kind towards me, and I'm kind of liking the personality he is showing while also understanding a tiny bit as to why those girls that were with him felt while traveling Saladin.

If you were to compare the high class food made in the castle from when I served Yurnixa as her body guard to what Saladin gave me, then it is a complete whole difference while Saladin taking the lead.

Not only was the soup nicely organized with all the vegetables being symmetrical in an order fashion, the spices and the way they were cooked with care was outstanding.

I might be a cook myself but it is nothing like his cooking which kind of make me hate myself losing to a man when it comes to cooking but I got to admit, he is going to be a great husband as he can cook and mostly do everything a wife is supposed to do, though I felt a little bit of jealousy as to who might be the one that will be his wife and I can expect that it be either that girl named Laura or Nyorin.

Though I don't understand as to how he is going to have both of them as his wifes as there are rules stating that individuals who aren't part of any sort of royal family could not commit polygamy.

Well it looks like it is time to sleep as I felt like my body is tiring real badly.

I then told Saladin that I am going to go hit the sacks which he replied by telling me goodnight though it was kind of giving me the shivers as it almost looked like we are newly weds or something and this is our house.

Saladin would join later as he has to clean the kitchen of the inn as to how he used it for his cooking.

Then as I entered my room, out of no where I felt a jolt of thoughts go through me which was telling me that I am going to sleep beside Saladin on the same room, this caused my face to blush a lot while I touch it with both my hands and was thinking on what to do.

Before he could enter the room again, I changed my clothes to the night dress that Kioni gave me not so long before and gargled my mouth in the bathroom.

Then I immediately went into my bed and covered myself with the sheet entirely as to how awkward it would look as to how he would see me with my face being completely red.

My pouch and sword hilt was already placed before beside my large bow on the corner of room which I didn't bring when I fought the creature.

I heard the door open while being followed with noises of foot steps which indicated that Saladin already finished his cleaning and already entered the room.

There was no helping it and so I peeked through a small gap I made as to what is he doing and I saw him changing his shirt which made me fluster and close the gap quickly while also I think deeply as to why does he have those nasty scars on his back...

His body was built in a perfect way while being not muscular at the same time, just lean.

Though I can't get it out of my head as to how this was my first time seeing a guy taking out his shirt and why am I this flustered about it.

I then wondered if he would react the same way if we swap places by now, but it made me think that he isn't that sort of person as he barely even looks at woman and minds his business the most.

Today was kind of different as ever since I gave him that present, he was acting much more calm and kinder towards me while even giving hints of him looking at me much more than before.

I didn't want to be stuck in the middle of thoughts the whole night and so I tried to sleep but I still can't as the feeling Saladin being in the same room as me is driving me nuts.

The bed of Kioni was used by Saladin as I can hear the noise of the bed getting laid on by him which was kind of making me nervous as to how he is not so far from me.

I really couldn't sleep and my constant silent yawing was tiring me until I heard the a tune made from him humming it which made me think as to how beautiful the way it was composed.

Soft and happy while also telling me some sort of sad story that became happy afterwards, before I knew it, I slept due to how the humming of Saladin lulled me to sleep.

Some time before Sherah went out from the Inn.

Kioni's POV

I'm tired of feeling useless when Saladin is doing his best to protect people while I just stand still and also away from harm while having nothing to do but pray that he doesn't harm himself.

Though my prayers rarely ever worked as even when I asked to anyone from above to protect Saladin, it ended up with him losing an arm.

There was something strange about Sherah as if she changed, like on how she kept on looking at Saladin much more than before which was making me confused as to what she might be thinking about him...

Perhaps she finally..., no that is not likely knowing Sherah that might be impossible but there still could still be a chance...

I didn't understand much as to what Leth said but I pretty much got the gist of it.

The temptation of telling Saladin about everything is always coursing through my veins but I kept on stopping myself from doing so as it may cause much more problems.

Though it might be already to late by the time he remembers me and he already found someone in his life that is much more worthy than me.

So that is why I need to change as he already did and so do I, but there is this feeling that I already changed as if this is isn't my personality at all but some sort of illusion or my original one has been deleted.

There was something strange about this new Saladin as if he wants to tell me something but kept on avoiding it while also treating me instead of a woman but like some sort of sister...

I had the opportunity to at least learn some ways to defend myself which consist of me asking Leth and Yin if they could teach me ways to fight in exchange I'll do anything they ask.

At first they were making a puzzled expression but quickly accepted my offer after thinking about something which might be the thing that I won't enjoy from the looks of their grin.

They then asked me to stay at their temporary house and that would be sufficient enough for the trade off to the bargain which made me confused until I had a thought that they wanted me to go away so that they can make Saladin and Sherah stay alone with each other but that was just a thought and nothing else.

After some time, I reached the place of Leth and Yin which looked like a small house while being filled with an atmosphere of being abandoned.

There were no nearby houses and it looked desolated which give me the chills as to what they might do to me as I don't know them very well.

I was then forced to enter as Yin whispers to my ears stating that they will take care of me well in a freakish tone.

When I entered the house, it was filled with stuff that are similar to a normal one but from the outside, people would think different.

This kind of made me relieved as I expecting it to be filled with torture tools and completely distorted figures which were mutilated badly.

The place had its fair share of luxury and normality which made me think that this is a normal common house for anyone.

There were paintings on the wall which depicted flowers, mountains, seas, and especially ladies singing.

The silver chandelier which was kindling the living room nice as I enter it gave the place a pleasant cozy feeling.

A window with a black curtain was on the wall which clearly made a good view on the half moon floating in the sky.

It was cold outside but when i entered this house, it gave me the feeling similar to the time when I was peacefully drinking hot chocolate drink with my adopted father beside a fireplace.

Beautifully made glass table was placed on the middle of the room and surround by two couches and specially made single couch.

On the walls of the living room, were maps with marks on them and loads of writing written beside each of those in a paper sticked by a knife.

The hallway leading to the living room had doors which I believe was the bedroom and maybe bathroom.

It was a really nicely built place even though it looked larger inside then outside.

They then asked me to sit down on one of the couches which I did and awaited as to what they are doing.

I then surveyed the room and noticed that there was a door that leads to the kitchen which I can tell as there were culinary tools hanging on the walls of that room.

Leth then came and sat on a nearby one person coach and then asked me on what I would like to learn from them.

Yin was writing something on the map while minding her own business.

I didn't actually have a clue as to what I want to learn and remained silent while thinking of something.

He then made a close inspection on me and told that I was having a strange strong affinity towards darkness which was strange as humans don't usually have that sort of thing.

When hey inspected me, I noticed that his eyes turned yellow and emitted white hue which I thought was amazing.

But when he said I was out of the ordinary as I have a strong affinity towards darkness, it kind of made me confused...

I actually don't know anything about this affinity stuff but it still giving me this unpleasant feeling from knowing that I am good with darkness.

My concerned expression made Leth to say to me that to not worry as having dark affinity is actual some sort of gift as it is even rare to find someone in other races also.

He then continued speaking by telling me that I can perform spells that can bind people or monster movement, have the ability to increase speed of anyone especially me, and especially powerful chantings that can create either high tier creatures or catastrophic spells that can eradicate any one in my path.

When he mentioned that, hope once again was shown through my eyes as not only can I help Saladin, I can also show him that I am not just a burden but someone useful.

While he was telling me all this details, I noticed that Yin gone inside their kitchen and came back just now with a platter that holds a plate filled with small muffins covered in what seems to be some sort of berry jam.

She then placed the platter on the glass table and asked me to not be shy and taste one of them which I happily did.

The taste was deliciously superb while also making my taste buds dance in an elegant way as to how I can't get enough savouring the flavor.

Leth wanted to take one also but was stopped from Yin hitting his hand and telling him that he can't have some which made his expression turned annoyed while looking at the grinning face of Yin.

Yin then grabbed a muffin and told Leth to say 'ah' which he did and so she placed a portion of the muffin in his mouth.

I can see that Leth was feeling embarrassed as Yin giggles as to how he is acting while for me, I was just having the time of my life on enjoying this muffin.

Some time later after we ate, I was served a drink which was milk mixed with honey which in truth made me confused on the synergy as I think that it will be a bad combination but I was mistaken as it was perfect to wash down the sweet muffin from before.

I then asked Leth as to how my training would consist which made him place the cup of tea he is sipping into on top of the table and told me

"The training cannot be done right now and so we will continue this tomorrow but I will just tell you that it will consist of you meditating most of the time at the start and later on we will decide on which to improve yourself" - Leth

This made me think a lot and wanted to ask a question but my yawn stopped me from doing uttering my words and so Yin asked me that if I feel sleepy already, then there is a spare room that she will lead me to where I can sleep soundly.

I wanted to decline and ask questions but I think it is best to save it for later which so I followed Yin to where the room is and that was one of the doors in the hallway which I already semi predicted it.

As I walk on the marbled floor with the pattern of cubes which had the similar appearance to the moon, I found Yin singing something that was similar to what Sherah would hum at night.

She then opened a room which showed me something that was similar to any bedroom as there was a bed, a window with striped curtains, small table and chair and especially a wardrobe where clothes are placed.

The bed was nicely cleaned and the scent of the room was flowery while giving me the nostalgia of when I was with my adopted father house.

I then asked Yin to why are they treating me this well even if I am a friend of Sherah which made her reply stating that they didn't have any guest for a long time while also my accompany makes them feel like they are a part of a family.

The way she smiled towards me, really was filled with caring and I couldn't help but smile back towards her while giving my gratitude.

Some time later, I changed my clothes to what Yin gave me and that was a blue shirt and black pajamas which was really comfy and then I did my daily routine of making sure that my face is clean, my hair still keeps its glow in the bathroom.

Now I am just laying down in the bed while staring into the ceiling which had a small chandelier swaying barely noticeable left and right.

There was something that caught my attention which was the noise of something moving, I then get up and looked.

I can't really see well due to the darkness but thankfully some of the moonlight from the window showed me a glimpse of someone.

This made me scared truly as it was abnormal for someone to be sitting down on my chair at the middle of the night while starring at me.

My heart started beating much more faster as I try cover myself with the blanket on the bed and think to myself that I am just imagining things.

Then I heard the voice of a girl telling me that the blanket will not even save me if I were not here to harm you.

I again tried looking at the chair and found that there was no one there but when I looked to my right..., I saw a girl with a majestic fiery red hair going which sways to the left slightly from the wind coming out from one of the window being opened.

There were four horns I could count and her eyes was showing the similar color to sharp blood red.

Fear was the feeling I felt the most as I just watch and could do nothing but stay in place as to how she survey myself with her piercing gaze.

She then said to me that I am nothing like before which made confused and then she continued onwards by saying that myself is nothing but a container to my original self.

After she got one last look at me with those haunting eyes, she disappeared while leaving me with nothing but thoughts from what she said.

Is it true... that I am fake... than... who really am I..., I just hope... that I will still love Saladin even if I revert back to my true self... though I think that impossible...

There was that fear of me being someone that isn't real in the first place but i really don't now...

After some time of thinking, I eventually fell asleep once again but this sense of anxiety will never subside away from me.

Thank you for reading and I really appreciate it if you would give a feedback to my novel of mine while also if you have free time, then can you pm me the plot holes of the story if it has one :D
