[Rean point of view]

It's dark in here. Where am I, and isn't that

"Elise! Zerolith! Are you guys alright!" [Rean]

They're just there, floating around in this never ending darkness. I'm positive they're also shouting something at me once they realize I am here as well. Sadly, we can only see each other, that's all. I try my best to walk or swim or fly toward them, whatever action possible to make myself closer to them, but alas, it's unfruitful, when suddenly

"Alright everyone! Stand on your ground! This is Brother Ash we are talking about, and we have to give everything we have got to take him down!" [Rean?]

"Right!" [Other]

Eh! Is that... me? No, it can't be, right? Plus, that guy looks older and most importantly

(What do you mean taking down Brother Ash, and plus, Brother Ash didn't seem to age that much!) [Rean]

And there's around 20 of us fighting Brother Ash alone! I can recognize some of them, from Elise to Charlotte, they're all grown up! Princess Diana is also there, but who is the other eight? For once, there appears to be a male and female twin pair I guess among them, someone that looks like a female paladin, a saint and some lady who looks very strong, I get this impression that she's an adventure. There's also a vampire and as for the other four, I can't tell much about it.

"Careful!" [Charlotte?]

~Ice wall block~

"Thank you!" [Karon?]

Brother Ash try to kill Karon! That scythe of him is just centimeter away from Karon? neck

"Impressive, I knew he is strong but now, it's just ridiculous" [Strong female adventure?]

"Roar!" [Behe?]

And is that Behe! I just realized it! He takes the form of empress light behemoth just like before

and

"Buy me some time, I'll give everything that I have to..." [Diana?]

Just what is happening now! I need to see all of it, plus even Elise and Zerolith seems to be dragged out

.

"BROTHER ASH!" [All]

[Rean point of view]

It's heavy and

~Bump~

"Ouch!" [Rean]

"Wakey wakey sleepy head!" [Farhah]

"Sleepy head!" [Singa]

"Head sleepy!" [Charlotte]

"Fine, fine, but you could at least wakes me up properly" [Rean]

"""NO!!!""" [Farhah, Singa, Charlotte]

What a confident NO. I guess I should just wake up early every day to avoid this, which got me thinking

"!" [Rean]

"He is awake!" [Farhah]

"Farhah, it's rude to shout like that!" [Rean]

"Sorry" [Farhah]

She isn't

But last time I remember, we are in the church, fighting the Drakaini, Elise and Behe transform, I use dark rope to bind them and then... what next? And that strange dream just now, I can't remember it properly but I do remember Elise and Zerolith is there with me, but is that even Elise and Zerolith to begin with? Couldn't they just be part of that strange dream

"Finally awake huh!" [Kadeus]

"Still, such impressive recovery" [Ray]

"Oh darling "There she goes again" [Farhah]

"Now now, it's true that everyone have been worrying about them" [Karon]

"Wait, can you guys just tell me what happen?" [Rean]

"Well..." [Lily]

I see, so after Mahsuri come and save us all, Elise and I collapsed most likely due to our fever. Mahsuri been carrying us around from the church to the orphanage while treating us along the way. She also cure Sis Rafiah, her friend, Mr Bond, Kronbir, Elsa as well as Zerolith albeit minimally, but that's enough for Mr Flinar and the young healers to save them, for which they're now stable

"Thank goodness" [Rean]

and I have been asleep for one whole day.

"And what about the other?" [Rean]

"If by other you mean Princess Diana and other adventures, well they're currently arresting those responsible for the attack and frankly, they're way too busy now" [Liyana]

"I see, and is Grandpa Claude and Housey alright?" [Rean]

"They're fine. Housey can auto heal itself and once Housey had sufficient mana, everything going smoothly from there on, including healing Grandpa Claude" [Mara]

That's good news! As for the last one

"Brother Ash still isn't here?" [Rean]

I do remember some adventures going to Kiserre when Savel and Charlotte collapsed back at the ice dungeon, and again an adventure going to Kiserre to inform him that our home is under attack but sadly

"We still haven't heard anything" [Kara]

"Maybe the adventure got stuck with something big, or the adventure simply taking his time" [Ray]

"Possible, plus going there by foot do take some time" [Liyana]

I see... I wonder what's going on at Kiserre now, and that dream I just saw... was it a vision of the future?

For now, let me clean myself

"Can you guys go out first? I'll clean myself first and go downstairs in a couple of minutes" [Rean]

"Want me to help "I appreciate it but NO!" [Rean]

"Naughty boy "You know that's not what I meant!" [Rean]

"There she goes again" [Ray]

"Now I'm piss seeing them like this" [Kadeus]

"Lewd..." [Farhah]

"Lewd lewd" [Charlotte]

"Now now, we should just go out. Muse, that includes you" [Lily]

"Fine... but I might sneak around, maybe?" [Muse]

"And here I thought us succubus are more flirtatious" [Lily]

Now that they're all out

"So, do you saw that dream Zerolith?" [Rean]

"Yeah, it's hazy, but..." [Zerolith]

Well, Zerolith have been awake for some time but he chose to keep quite about it, maybe to embarrass to say I'm Up!

"I do remember all of us attacking Brother Ash, just why?" [Zerolith]

"Who knows. We should ask Elise as well" [Rean]

"Right" [Zerolith]

Elise should be awake by now as well. She strains herself much more than any one of us do, so in a sense, I kinda want her to sleep and rest more, but alas, her big sister pride will not allow it. Not that I am one to speak, I have my pride as the eldest as well

"Sigh... thank god you guys are alright" [Bond]

"Yeah... compare to the useless me... Anyway! Eat a lot will you!" [Kronbir]

"Yeah, eat as much as you guys can!" [Elsa]

"Don't force yourself too much though, these foods are meant to help all of you recover quickly, but nothing good happen when you become glutton" [Grandpa Claude]

"True, everything should be done under moderation" [Rafiah]

"Say the girl who summon a B rank monster and strain herself afterward!" [Yefefiah]

"Still, are you sure you don't want to join us?" [Erinmorlin]

"There are more than enough for all of us here" [Flinar]

"..." [Mahsuri]

She just sitting there in the sofa, looking at us. I heard that Princess Diana ask her something about the ten heroes but Mahsuri here simply refuse to answer her and now have been ignoring the princess

"Charlotte, Cupid, can you?" [Elise]

""Leave it to us"" [Charlotte , Cupid]

"I'll join as well" [Savel]

"I'll go as well! Don't leave me!" [Singa]

Haha, the three become even closer now, look, Singa become jealous a bit

I hope this can continue but..

(Alright everyone! Stand on your ground! This is Brother Ash we are talking about, and we have to give everything we have got to take him down!) [Rean?]

Just what is that

"Delivery to the mansion!" [Soldier]

"-.-. --- -- .. -. --." [Housey]

Some of the furniture arrives. Better eat quickly and help to cleanse and repair the mansion
