《Dissonance Of Aeons》Chapter 10: Second Chance
Advertisement
I've been working here for couple of months... It's not like that I hated working for Mr. Bill, it's just that I feel empty inside I wanted more... I need a deeper purpose...
I want to explore the unknown... to become an astronaut like my father was. I don't want to end up like this forever... Astraea thought.
Astraea? Did you manage to reach our daily quota? Are the products fully stocked? Bill said.
Yes... I will put the beverages later.. Astraea said.
Good, take care of those immediately I don't want customers take those beverages not cold enough... Bill added.
Yes, sir...
Like my father once said to me... "You can always dream big. Even if you die trying... Even if you're alone in the process... It will be worth it..."
I don't know dad... I never thought that being an adult could be this hard. I want guys to be back, you and mom just like the good old times... Astraea thought.
Astraea? Are you daydreaming again, get back to work... We have so much to do.. Bill said.
Yes.. Astraea said.
Bill closed the door of the store. Wild wind gushing through Astraea's hair as she gazes upon the distant.
Good work as always... You can finally rest now.. Take it easy okay... Bill said
Same to you Mr. Bill.. Astraea said.
Upon morning comes Astraea immediately rushed to the store and suddenly her phone rang.
Astraea? I need you to take care of things today... I have something to do.. Bill said.
Just remember to clean the floor after you're done.. Bill added.
Okay... Take care alright.. Astraea said.
When suddenly, a familiar face walks in to counter.
I'm looking for a girl... 26 years of age. Kinda looks like you to be honest.. the stranger said.

Uncle Harry? Is that you? I barely recognize you at all... Astraea said.
Astraea? Wow.. look at you. You've grown so much, last time I check you were this little. Oh, glad I found you. Harry said
When did you came back? I thought you were on a business overseas... I never thought... you came.. Astraea said.
I've heard about your mother... I'm deeply sorry about loss. You have my condolences.. she was... a good person. Such tragedy to end her life like that.
It's all over uncle... She's gone I cannot bring her back.. the best thing I can do is to move forward. Astraea said
Yes... Speaking of moving forward. I have a proposal to make. There's is an international school in Japan that teaches basic astronomy and astrophysics. This is the best course of study since your father was an astronaut. Harry said.
Uncle... I can't do that.. I can't let you waste your money on me, Astraea said
Bullocks! Take this as a gift for your late father and mother. You can spend anything you want from me.
Uncle... Astraea said
Is this a yes or no?
I'll think about it, uncle...
I don't want you to think about it.. I need your response right now.. Harry said.
I guess, it's a yes...
Perfect! We're leaving.. It's best to leave this place as soon as possible... Harry said.
But what about my job uncle? Astraea said.
No worries.. I will talk to Bill after we prepare for your leave. Get yourself ready. We're leaving tonight.. Harry said.
Tonight?? B-but...
No more buts... Come with me..
Harry opened his car and letting Astraea in.
Look at your clothes.. I need to buy some new clothes for you before leaving.
Japan is whole different country than this poor crime filled nation. And I don't want my favourite niece to get stuck in this country forever. Harry said

Uncle...
Yes?
T- Thanks, Thank you for everything..
No problem, my dear.
Astraea, we should buy these...
Harry squeezed a red bulky winter clothes.
This is the best thing I could find...
Wow, that looks amazing... Astraea said.
How much?
Don't worry... I will buy anything that you might need abroad.
Astraea grabbed the winter clothes and she searched for the price tag.
$1599 for a single clothes!!! No way I'm taking that! Astraea exclaimed
Just like I said, don't worry...
Moments later...
Astraea? Are you done?
Astraea nodded
Good we're leaving. Your boss told me that he's happy for you. It's such a good news to have you studying again, Harry said
Mr. Bill...
Don't look so sad... You can have another chance in life! Don't forget about it. Do it for your parents, Astraea.
You're right, uncle...
Astraea stepped into the plane's ladder for the first time. She felt a sudden rush of excitement, a fleeting moment.
Uncle, this is actually my first time riding a plane.. I'm a bit nervous but excited over all.
You should be... Japan is a beautiful place.
After several hours, Astraea woke up from the ride of the plane. She decided to open the curtains to see how beautiful the sunrise above the clouds.
Wow this is amazing... Astraea said
Yes dear... I will not get used to it.
Several hours later Astraea and Harry finally made it to their destination.
Welcome to Tokyo, Astraea. "The city that never sleeps!" Or is it New York? Bah, who cares same thing, Harry said
Wow! This place is so cold, uncle. I can barely feel my hands. Astraea said.
You'll get use to the cold... We should buy you some gloves I forgot. And we should eat too. *laughs*
Wow, this place is busy uncle. So many people, from all over the world. I never seen a foreigner before... Astraea said
Now that we're done I will show you the University... But first we need a ride.
Taxi!
Yes.. Tokyo International School.. Yes.. (speaks in Japanese)
Wow, uncle I never thought you could speak fluent Japanese already... Astraea asked.
I've been staying here for 15 years already... It's quite obvious to know the language, my dear *chuckles*
Astraea gasped.
As soon as Astraea stepped outside the taxi she is amazed how beautiful and huge the school is. She felt that her dreams came true.
Here we are! Your new school... Your new life...

Oliver never imagined that as he raced to drop off his best friend at fencing practice before going to work at his part-time job, the world would flood with magic, and change in a fantastical and unimaginable way, giving him the opportunity to adventure with friends, new and old.
