"Hello? Is anybody here? Everyone?"

As Rachel opened her eyes, she was standing by herself in a space with a screen in front of her that displayed her family in the earth realm.

"Mom! Dad! Ricky! I'm here. I'm back!". She attempted to cross the gap between where she was standing and the screen, but a shield blocked her path.

"Sharon I'm sorry but it's time. She is running out of time, and her consciousness is almost gone." A man in a white coat comforted the family of a young woman whose body was almost completely lifeless.

"I can't do this. I can't let her go. Please don't leave us, Elsa, my daughter. Baby, I love you". The middle-aged woman with an aristocratic appearance was crying loudly and holding her daughter's hand as if she were about to pass out.

"Honey, you have to let her go. She won't be able to leave peacefully if you keep on holding her like this". He desperately hugs his wife while trembling and sobbing simultaneously.

"Mom, Dad? How can you just let her go? Doctor, please do something, we have all the means... just please...please try again".

Ricky slouches on the ground and hits his head against the wall. He prayed so hard that on his next life, he would find his sister's soul across the universe, and become siblings once again.

"I'm sorry, Son. We tried our best, but there's nothing more we can do. She can still hear your voices, so please say your final goodbyes".

"Elsa, my baby. Your Mom loves you so much. If there's a next life...I'll still choose you to be my daughter. Please don't forget Mom, Dad, and your younger brother Ricky. We all love you so much".

As she stared at the screen, her tears poured down and her heart began to ache so painfully.

"I'm here. No, don't leave me. Mom, Dad, I'm here, please".

After the Doctor removed the apparatus that connects in her mouth, she saw flashbacks of her time on earth in the form of movie reviews. Even though her life was short, she had a very good quality of life thanks to the love and care of her family. She was extremely lucky to experience unconditional love in the earth realm.

"Thank you, Mom, Dad and Ricky. I love you all. Thank you for everything."

Finally, Rachel let go of the borrowed vessel and bid her goodbye in peace. Her body began to shake once again, and she was transported to another space.

***

A space where it's serenely divine and all beings are extremely beautiful. There was a palace of creation where the Celestial Royals lived. A palace that floats in the heavenly sky and dragons can be seen flying and shapeshifting into their celestial form all over the place.

As she walks peacefully, she reaches her destination. The garden of Ila. She observed a celestial little girl running around and chasing the baby dragons as they played and laughed. When they manage to catch her, they put a flower crown on her head. They were having so much fun, but a melodious voice interrupted their play.

"Anya! My child. Come greet your Mother".

(Excerpt: Aine (Celtic) – Goddess of love, growth, and light. Her name means bright. She is linked to Midsummer's Eve. The name Anya comes from this Goddess name.)

Rachel approaches the woman, whose face is strikingly identical to hers. She has silver hair and brilliant blue eyes, a flawless masterpiece of beauty.

As she drew nearer to the celestial woman, Goddess Isis laid her palm in Rachel's heart and said,

"My most beloved child. Remember who you are".

Her voice echoed and Rachel's body shook from the touch as if her soul and vessel was put back to its original form.

***

She was then transported to a space where her soul transmigrated to the empire of Kratoryah. From the moment she was born, she was surrounded by admiration and love. She was the most sought-after child in the empire because of how much she resembled the Goddess Isis. Her parents are so devoted to her that they would do anything to ensure her happiness. But the little girl is unconcerned with material possessions and is mainly captivated by eating, playing, and reading.

A long-forgotten memory has come to light. She remembers her mother's love, the warmth of her hug, and the adoring care from her father and brother. It is a wonderful family, brimming with joy and love. She is overjoyed that light is pouring out of her heart.

As she is being shown images of her wonderful childhood spent with her family, another scene at the Carlyle palace banquet suddenly appears. While she was being carried by her mother, a stunning boy with hair as dark as the night sky and eyes as fiery as fire passed by on their side. Little Rachel reached out and grabbed his hair because she was so astonished by the color of his eyes.

"Pretty eyes." Little Rachel giggled and reached out to touch his eyes, but her mother restrained her.

"Your highness, I beg your forgiveness for my daughter's disrespect. She is naïve, so I shall discipline her as needed."

(Excerpt: Little Duke hasn't succeeded his father yet, so he was called "Your highness")

Her mother trembled profusely in front of the boy, whose family name is feared and worshipped throughout the empire.

"Hm, I'll look it over but on one condition". The boy smirks, curious to see the little girl's reaction.

"Please do say, Your highness". Lily is trembling with terror that they have offended the most powerful family in the empire. She lets down Rachel and bowed their heads.

He turned to face the little girl who was hiding behind her mother.

"Little girl, I want the cupcake you're hiding in your tiny pocket".

Rachel's eye bulged when the boy discovered that she had hidden the cupcake in her pocket. She will undoubtedly receive a scolding from her mother. A little tear trickled down her cheek as she hesitantly handed over her favorite cupcake.

"Please accept this cupcake as a gesture of my apology. It's my all-time favorite cupcake, Your Highness, so I hope you'll like it."

The boy laughed and unapologetically snatch her cupcake and indiscreetly ate it.

"It really is sweet and delicious. Now, give me another one from your purse".

Suddenly, Rachel hugs her purse and sobs, acting as though the cruel boy had been bullying her.

Sebastian laughs as he kneels down to speak to the young girl at her level.

"Little girl. I forgive you".

As the scene ended, Rachel suddenly opened her eyes.
