▪▪▪ POV : Wilhelm ▪▪▪

Remember the mana lake that help Seras evolve into a lamia when she was still a night viper ? Today instead of training i'm going to go and check that lake out with Seras. We bring ton of food and 10 water bottle with us, the lake are pretty well hidden so we don't have to be vigilant of other creatures. Oh yeah ! Wolfy are out hunting right now, our connection can help us locate each other so she will probably come after she's done playing "game of tag" with the ghouls.

-••• 20 minutes later •••-

We stop before a really big tree, i don't know how high it goes but the damn thing width must at least be 70 meters, the tree leaf look like some sort of crystal, it shine magnificently. Seras told me monsters especially undead don't like to be near this tree because the miasma level are extremely low while the light are too blinding for them to see, back then when she's still a night viper she hate this tree too, but she were hurt badly that day and were being pursue by a bunch of undead so she have no choice but to hid near the tree. The lake entrace were a hole cover by vines, if Seras didn't point it out to me then i would have miss it. I leave the entrace wide open for Wolfy to find then jump down the hole with Seras. The place is magical as fuck ! There are a bunch of firefly thingy glowing all over the place, a few tree could seen here and there, the clearing near the lake were cover by a mattress of green grass and last but not least are the blue shiny lake. I officially announce, this is the most beautiful place i have ever seen ! The moment i set my foot into this place, all of my suffering, my worries, my anger seem to disappear.

"Are you not feeling well, Wilhelm ?" - Seras

Before i know it, tears are streaming down my face. Seras asked me, her eyes were full of concern.

"No i... it's just... It's nothing, don't worry about it" - Wilhelm

I fall down on my knee, don't know how to answer her question, hell, i don't even what i am or why am i struggling so hard to keep this pitiful life of mine, going on an adventure, survive, they are just to cover my real reason for getting stronger, what i want is revenge. I have been drowning in my own anger and hatred for so long and forget how beautiful life is. I'm so stupid dammit...

"It's going to be fine, i'm here for you now so let it all out" - Seras

I buried my face onto her chest while she was stroking my head, we stay like that until i stop crying completely.

"Uhm... Sorry" - Wilhelm

Ugh... This is so embarrasing.

"Don't mention it, this is what friends are for, right ? And i know you would have done the same thing for me Wilhelm" - Seras

She smile at me warmly.

"......." - Wilhelm & Seras

Whoa ! I'm having my first awkward moment ! Awesome !!

"Thank you.." - Wilhelm

I whisper in REALLY low voice but she must have heard it because she's giggling right now. Thank you very much Seras, for being my friend... For being in my life.
