The woman, the mother of the strange family whom Isaiah had just tried talking to, seemed to pay no heed to him.

"Can't you hear me?" Isaiah thundered, filled with much trepidation, as at that time, the giant man had raised his pitchforkto the air like Neptune hoisting a trident and was about to throw it at him. He knew this time that a hit from that pitchfork would be the death of him.

But apart from the fact that Isaiah was almost about to get killed, there was something else in tg background of it all that was strange. The lady in the flowing dress had continued making her pudding as though there was nothing wrong going on, as if she had not screamed to call for help from her hulking murderous husband.

And the children, they too had gone back to playing with their toys: the girl with her doll and the little boy with his toy train.

"What is this?" Isaiah asked. "Is this some kind of madhouse? Are you all some kind of robots? What's wrong with you all?"

But there was no time to ask

    Isaiah's first and last night in the town that time forgot was a bag of troubles. Some hours before the sun was completely eaten by the west side of the far horizon, he had said, "it's getting extremely late. Where do we sleep?"Elena ignored him, throwing a look to a side of the room where she wouldn't see his face."Oh, there's plenty of room in the town," Tanuk said. "We just have to find one for you and Elena to be in.""What?" Isaiah asked sharply. "Yes? I was implying that we find a worthy room for the both of you to be in.""Why? Can't I just have my own place?" Isaiah was greatly aggravated by the prescription. "Why do I have to share it with her?""Isaiah... Lord Isaiah..." Tanuk called out in a more reverent tone, "if you don't stay in the same room, you will give the townspeople a bad image of the both of you. And these people have lived for such a long time in these conditions, all hoping for a time when the prophecy would come to pass and their Lady Elena would be happy

    Luke and Jackson had woken up that morning with the sun streaming through the open window Isaiah had left when he fled through the roof to go meet Elena. At first, it had seemed as though he had just gone out extremely early for class, but soon it hit them that their friend and schoolmate was nowhere to be found."Where could he be?" Luke asked, thrashing around the place. "He took his phones with him.""He did?" His friend, Jackson, asked. "Well, this is strange. What do you think must have happened to him?"Luke pulled himself out from under a bed, his face now tightly squeezed, angry. "I have a hunch. I think Isaiah has been kidnapped.""I don't think that's possible," Jackson said, adjusting his glasses. "What do you mean kidnapped? He was right in this same room sleeping. How could anyone have come here from the window without us noticing anything? I don't believe such a thing happened. From what I can tell of him, he might actually really have just gone on a long stroll.""Well,

    "A servant of Elena, huh?" Isaiah asked in irony. "Let me guess, she sent you here to convince me to join her mad circus, didn't she?" "No," Kate said. "Elena hasn't sent me on anything..." She was sitting down on the steps below the building before standing to look Isaiah in the eyes. "You just told me you were her servant, so why should I believe what you're saying?" "Being her servant doesn't mean I am here to convince you of anything. Moreover, you can hide all you want. You can run and leave, but you can't really escape your destiny. We don't force that on you, do we?""It seems forcing it on me has been the only thing you've been doing so far..."Kate sighed. "You haven't understood this yet, have you?" She asked.She was wrong. Isaiah understood it perfectly, and perhaps, even more so than Kate herself. But his problem was not the aspect of understanding it, but that the project, in its entirety, was extremely contradictory to all the values that had been taught to him from

    Isaiah now understood. His mind was capable of grasping everything that was said and everything that was left unsaid in so fast a moment. He grew red. "So you're saying that I am destined to be with you?" he asked, directing the question to Elena. Her eyes lingered on him intently in an intense way. "Yes," she said. "And by what you just said, you're over 300 years old," Isaiah commented, in awe. "How are you still so young then?""My noble bloodline makes it so that I don't age as you humans do, Isaiah. And if you continue in the path that I have laid before you, you will unlock the same power dormant in your gene, just like me."Isaiah still did not know how to react to the whole thing. He took a deep breath. "So I guess I never had a choice in all of this?" He asked."Everything about you, down to the minute aspects of your being, had already been decided the very first moment you found yourself in this world," Tanuk said. "All of us have destinies, some less than others, while

    Tanuk had a puzzled look on his face. "What do you mean by everything? Have we not told you everything you wanted to know? The scroll you have on you holds a secret of our ancient civilization. What else do you want to know?"Sweat dripped away from Isaiah's forehead; he wiped a bit of it from his forehead. "What I want to know has nothing to do with your ancient civilization but with me. I want to know why I had to go through all of this. And I don't want anymore lies now—I want the truth. I know that you all know what is going on."Tanuk passed a stare at Elena over his shoulders, and Isaiah could perceive a silent cry for help from him to her.Elena, meanwhile, sneered at this, throwing her gaze away. "What's going on?" Isaiah's voice was becoming more desperate. "There is no way I would believe I went through all this for nothing. I just robbed and destroyed a house, and now I am in a strange town where nothing seems to have progressed in age past the 1800s. Tanuk stared once mo

    Isaiah stayed quiet for such a long time after the call ended, eyes just staring ahead through the windscreen. Elena was still driving, wondering what exactly was so profound that was told to him by Costa that made him so silent. She felt things had gotten boring ever since and now sought to spice things up. "So are you going to just keep staring at the road like that?" She asked and got no reply afterwards. He just kept staring ahead, and only the sound of the car's engine and the drive through the road filled her ears.She yawned. "You've become quite boring, Isaiah. What are you thinking?""Can't you see, Elena, that I have done something extremely stupid?" He asked, shifting his gaze now to her. He seemed like a man that had seen whole galaxies explode. "Can't you see that everything I have done has been for naught? I really betrayed myself, compromised myself, destroyed a building, and stole a scroll, and all of it, I did for nothing...""Hmph, Isaiah..." She began. "Don't tel
