"What the---?"The first person that my eyes landed with is Shier.I had never seen him so terrified before.He can be grumpy and irritated when the time that I tie him up.He can be curious to the point of being adorable that sometimesturn out to be unbearable.I wanted to walk close to him and ask.Why are you making that face?He is restless to the point that he doesn't even care about the wolves on his far left side.Oh... He's looking at us.I look at the situation we are in.Nadia is standing on the stone while carrying me in a princess-like position.However, the atmosphere is a little bit heavy.So, what I want to know is…What is happening?SHIER'S P.O.V.I was startled and looked at the noise ,so I look at the back.But with just a blink of an eye, Hyria is out of my sight.The only thing I heard is the cracking sound of the old leave going far away from me.I run as fast as I could to where the noise came from.My heart is beating fast because I just found her earlier and
Empty Space THE FIRST TIME
SHIER'S P.O.V.Time slowed down as I saw him bounce in just one step.My body felt alive while my eyes are stuck on the grim reaper in front of me.What is he thinking?Only a minute has passed and he is running away from me as fast as he can, so why is he attacking right now?The grim reaper is looking in my direction.

Empty Space AN INNOCENT CONVERSATION
“Hi”I still can't take my gaze off of her as I heard a sweet voice coming from the young lady.I can not hear them clearly since I am far away from them.So I decided to walk slowly as I enter a different dimension without leaving the situation in front of me.The young man who is currently floating in the air is blushing literally from head to toe.Urggg!!I touch my head unconsciously and can't help to scratch it.I don't know if this is a feeling of disappointment or frustration but first thing first.If I am not mistaken, this is Shier when he is young, though they looked alike. Call it instinct but they are strangely alike.So why is he running in a broad daylight without the stitch of clothes on!“Hi…” Shier said in a shy voice wearing that red face on.“Yeah… You should be ashamed of your thing dangling in front of a beautiful young lady!” So I thought.Even I can’t look but the young lady looks fine with it.She is calmly talking to him as if everything is alright.If it is
Empty Space INSIDE THE CAVE
CHIRPCHIRPCHIRPI stretched my left leg, It felt numb for a while. My hand moved to find and reach to hug my pillow, but somehow I can’t find it.I can feel the warmth of the sun touch my skin, and the chirp of the birds keeps ringing in my head as if they are telling me to move and wake up.The next thing I knew I'm falling. Thinking that I am still in a dream...My mind goes back to reality when I heard something fall on the ground.After a few seconds, I felt the pain in my body that eventually became numb. I can’t even move for a moment.I don’t know how long I waited, but I moved my body flat to the ground and saw a green leaf that dances through the wind along with the singing of the birds.“Wow…”Then my vision focused on the branch above me.I remember that I climbed to that place and slept there.“Oh, I fall…” So I thought It was part of the routine of my daily life.In this world, the pain and the numbness quickly pass along with the bruises. It quickly heals.It’s as if I
Empty Space WHO ARE YOU?
I scratch my chin as I saw Shier’s friend.His name is Heed, the appointed guardian and one of Shier’s best friends."She says humans are interesting when all she can do is collect things that those filthy humans used. “”Oh… he has a sharp tongue.” So I thought.“Stop being rude to her and let’s go to collect tears.”“You are the one who forgets your priority just to be with her.”Shier just looks at him void of emotion as if telling him to shut up.Heed, whose his friend for many years, knows what it means.He started to walk toward Shier and tap his shoulder.Then he walked past him.Together they stand not so far.However, I began to panic since Shier slowly disappeared right in front of my eyes.Just like Cerez, I can not follow him to wherever their destination and I will be alone again.I regretted following this young man.I have a bigger chance of waiting for Cerez, but not Shier.Should I just grab him without him noticing?However, that is impossible. Once I grab him, Shier
Empty Space HIS REALITY
I swear lightning caressed my whole body. I can not move an inch.I look at him directly as he walks toward me.I almost lost my breath when Shier stop in front of me.“I asked, who are you?” He whispered.Still, I didn’t move an inch as if my life depends on it.He lifts his hand and grabs the part in my pocket where the fork is.That time I lost my breath as if a hand grip my chest harder.I still remember his face when he saw me the other night under the moonlight.His shocked and scared face makes me want to hide in the dark again.What if he makes that face again?However, his hand didn’t get anything. Like he grabs something in a tin air.“Shier, what are you doing again?” Heed asked while looking back at Shier“Nothing,” Shier answered before he walked through me.At that time, I knew he is aware that I exist.He felt, that I'm around him.But I can’t stop following him now.All I know is…As long as he doesn’t know my face, his reaction will be my least problem.While walking,
Empty Space CHASE
After a long laugh, Heed looked at me. I can't help but swallow when I look at him. Somehow I felt a thirst deep down my throat. If stares can kill, l might be injured right now. It’s as if the Heed I know slowly changes into something he doesn’t. “You… you’ve changed” “No, I do not. You know that this is what people like. Well, they do react differently. But, we always saw the human ugliest part. You saw it too. If there is someone who changes here, it is you.” I just stared at him, doing my best to understand him. What is he saying” “You are always with me with our mission. Back then, you didn’t question what we are doing. But ever since you talk to that lady, you start questioning every little thing.” Is it... Is it me? “I know you are confused right now. However, don’t let that lady ruin what you are right now. This is our purpose.” I felt Heed was so far away from me when he stands in front of me. “What is our purpose again?” I look away at Heed as I question myself
Empty Space THE OTHER LAND
NADIE’S P.O.V.My head tilts slowly at the back of the tree, not so far away from Shier.If I have an eye, I am probably crying a river right now because I have to give up that fork.I was desperate earlier when he almost saw my very existence.At the last moment, I knew I had to give it up.But I promise myself that I will get it back before I can return to the present.“Just hang in their little fork!”I flinch when Shier grabs the little fork and examines it.The fork is a thing that is made from the future so there is no way that Shier knows this. Even his delicate skin forms a line on his forehead when he saw it.Then after a moment, Shier looks around. To my anxiousness, I almost fall from the branch where I stand.I am struggling to maintain my balance so I should not fall.When Shier didn’t notice anything unusual. He put the disfigured fork into his pocket and return to where Heed is.My head springs on the tree and starts following Shier at such a distance.Shier goes back t
