Chapter [212] Regrets, Their Regrets.
Alan looked at the house with mixed thoughts, while his sister urged him to go on.
He stopped at the door, and as he was about to knock, he hesitated.
For a moment, a shred of hesitation clearly displayed his thoughts, his actual feelings.
Or was it really hesitation? Or could it be said to be fear?
*Thump*
His heart thumped, the amount of sweat on his brows increasing...it was such a sudden change.
He felt that it wasn"t him that was shaking...but then again he felt it was.
Inside of him was a fear...a fear of something he was yet oblivious to.
His hand, which was about to knock on the door stopped again...and shook.
"Should I do it?"
He hesitated.
"Should I do it?"
He was afraid.
But then.
*Knock**Knock!*
The sound of knocking shook him out of his stupor.
It wasn"t him...it was rather his sister.
He took deep breaths...and before he could come to a conclusion the door opened.
An elderly woman, with grey hair and striking blue eyes wearing a casual dress, opened the door.
"May I Help..."
Her eyes widened in realization as she saw who her visitors were...and her mouth opened wide with surprise.
She stepped back in shock.
She may not have seen them for quite a long while...but she could never forget those eyes.
A Pair of Blue diamonds as bright as the blue sky, And a Pair of Dark blue eyes as wide as the sea.

Elijah stood agape as he took in the scenery.
A beautiful sky, below him majestic neverending clouds. Above him a Sun that exuded a holy light like no other.
He almost fell in astonishment before he came to the horrifying realization that he was maybe hundreds of meters in the air...but then he wondered.
"How am I not falling?"
He wondered and then looked down to find a staircase of gold beneath him, stretching beneath the clouds and to the celestial Sun.
He stood in awe, admiring the beauty of the sun and its celestial light before...
The clouds beneath him parted and he heard the sound of footsteps.
The clouds, the majestic clouds parted and a figure walked up the staircase as the light of the sun increased.
Elijah recognized the figure...the same one he had seen fight the Devil, the Black Dragon.
The Angel that had fought the Devil, the black dragon was walking up the staircase.
Encased in the beautifully crafted armor and a majestic sword by his waist, on his countless back wings, he calmly walked up the staircase.
Elijah stared at the figure walking up with mixed feelings.
Such strength that the Angel, the White gold Dragon had shown.
He still had a hard time believing that...dream?
*Tok*Tok*
The melodious sound of Angel"s footsteps rang out, and as Elijah felt himself be weighed down with each step the Angel rose.
The light of the Celestial sun increased, the surroundings brightening up by the second.
One knee of Elijah fell
down as the weight he carried increased.
*Tok tok*
The Angel climbed the staircase unhindered and got closer and closer.
The Light of the "Sun" became brighter and brighter...to the point that Elijah could no longer even glance at it because it was too bright.
However, the eyes of the angel never wavered even in this blinding light.
The Angel walked up, and Elijah looked at the Angel now in his Shadow.
*Tok*Tok*
It seemed as if the angel could not see him at all, and phased through Elijah.
And now Elijah was in the Shadow of the Angel in the increasing light.
His face scrunched up as the weight increased and then...
The golden staircase started to disappear.
From the clouds, it slowly disappeared and it would soon disappear beneath Elijah.
Elijah stared in horror as the staircase disappeared beneath him, And he was unable to do anything because of the weight on his shoulders.
He descended, whilst the Angel ascended.
He fell beneath the clouds...and heard a sound that resembled to be a scream, shattering his eardrums.
The light covered the skies and fell, as rays of death...and the next thing Elijah knew.
He woke up in a pool of sweat, seeing his room"s ceiling instead of the Light.
He got up from his bed and washed his face in the bathroom.
"Hah..."
He placed his head under the stream of cold water and said.
"They won"t stop..."
He was referring to the weird dreams he was getting.
They were all so vivid...they felt so real it was terrifying.
He wondered always what the purpose or reason for his receiving those dreams was...and Agri"s silence was not helping.
The supreme dragon was weird, he would be completely absent from his life for certain periods which was annoying. And there was no pattern to these disappearances. And they also always happened at the worst times...
Elijah took off his clothes and went to take a shower.
He felt calm as the cool drops of water fell...but he heard a voice that made him scream like a little girl...he heard the Yandere Serena"s voice from out of nowhere
"Oh? Darling your awake? let"s take a bath together!"
"KYAAAAA!!!"

"...Hi?"
Alan said to the woman that opened the door, her mouth still agape.
She slowly approached the two..as Alan subconsciously stepped back but Samantha instead jumped into her arms and she yelled out the ident.i.ty of the woman in happiness.
"Grandma!"
The old woman had caught her out of a reflex as she stared intently into her granddaughter"s eyes...and tears began to form.
Samantha hugged her grandmother and was oblivious to it...but Alan clearly saw it.
"Umm...Please don"t cry?"
He said...still confused and unsure of what to do...but the old woman just smiled as she stared back at him, wiping her tears.
"...your finally back..."
She said...and thus a happy(?) family reunion occured
