It's all so dark, I feel like I'm sinking into a black river without a bottom, it's so cold, I feel so alone in that pitch.
I died? Is this heaven or hell? I don't know where I am or what I should do, I just want to be with the people who make me happy.
I see it coming from above, it was someone swimming towards me, coming towards me, that someone extended his hand to me, was it to save me? I knew, I am at the bottom of a lake or river, how did I get here? I am very deep, if this person comes here he will drown with me.
Come back… don't come here… Please...!
That someone came to me, he holds my hand tightly. Unfortunately I couldn't see his face, just the color of his hair and clothes, both his hair and his clothes were white as the clouds in the sky.
Who are you? Why are you here? You will die if you try to get me out of here.
For some reason, as soon as this person held my hand, everything my vision reached was illuminated, everything stopped being so dark, I could clearly see everything around me. Small and large fish, seafood and seaweed. That sea was transparent to me. I even touched a fish that was passing right by me.
But suddenly the scenery around me changes, the sea gets dark and the person disappears, ceasing to exist, it should be a dream, some fruit of my head. The only real thing left was the memory.
My body hurts a little, why is it?
I look around me, I realize I am in some room in a hospital, because the room was a little relaxing to look at, there were also machines next to me that were used to treat sleeping people, these machines were and are still used when healing magic does not solve itself. It's true, I'm on a stretcher in a hospital room, somewhere. What happened with me?
I just remember being on the train and… my head hurts if I try to remember, what happened on that train? That's it, what came next is a mystery.
I look to the side, there was a white door with a window right in the upper center, I see and hear the sounds of people talking, it's coming from outside this room.
Why am I here ...?
My bedroom door opens, who will it be? I look to the side to see who came in. I was a nurse, she seems happy to see me, even though I have never seen this woman in my life.
Nurse - oh by the holy moon, you finally woke up !! You really woke up! Miss Hartmann will be happy to hear that you finally woke up.
She jumps in joy and leaves the room with a smile on her face and very happy. What was she talking about? I heard almost nothing. Wait, did she say "Hartmann"? Hartmann is Eleanore's last name.
I need to get out of this hospital bed, I don't feel at all comfortable staying in that white, lonely room. I get up, my body hurts a little, is it still because of the battle in Sapporo? Going there just to face Leviathan must not have been one of the best Ideas.
Wait, leviathan? My friends!! How long have I been unconscious? Not this one, I promised myself that I would be with them as soon as they woke up. They need me!
The nurse passes by the bedroom window and notices that I'm trying to get off the stretcher, she desperately enters the room and puts me back on the bed, she looks very worried, but I need to see my friends.
Emília - mine… my… friends...?
Nurse - everything will be fine, it's okay, we'll take care of you, you don't have to worry about anything else.
I didn't understand what she was saying, but I did understand that she wants me to stay here. I just hope my friends are in the best physical and mental state possible.
A week has passed since then, and I had to go through a lot during those seven days. The process of my rehabilitation was not so difficult, the doctors said that I got seriously injured that day on the train, they had to use advanced magic so I wouldn't die and that it was a miracle that I survived because if it weren't for Eleanore being around my side, I should have died.
The strange thing is that I had to take several medicines every day, wasn't it easier to use healing magic? On the third day here, I couldn't stand my curiosity anymore and I asked my doctor why I had to go through all that, even though I felt good.
He said: "Miss Hartmann asked us ... in fact, she demanded that we do this, that we give you the best treatment possible or she would destroy the building. That girl scared me so much so much everyone in the building, was that or we ... Well you understand. " he looked worried, he was shaking and he kept looking around.
But it finally ended, on the seventh day Eleanore came to pick me up, and for some reason, as she passed through the front door, hospital staff were throwing flowers wherever Eleanore passed.
Eleanore - hey, Emilia! I'm glad you're okay. Come on, I'll take you to an inn.
Emília - right ...
We walked to the inn, halfway to the inn we had a conversation.
Emilia - do you know about my friends? If they are well, these things ...
Eleanore - yes, they look great, they even woke up. They should arrive in the city in a few days.
Emília - this is great news, I couldn't take it anymore.
Eleanore - I know that. The nurse called me and said that the patient named "Sanae", all she knew how to do was complain that her best friend was not there with her when she woke up.
Emilia - Oh, what a shame, I should have stayed there… Ai ai ai ai !!!
Eleanore - look on the bright side, you got 3 days off here.
Emilia - huh… Really? Why?
Eleanore - the superiors realized that your efforts lately have been of a high level compared to your Rank, thinking about that, they gave you a few days off.
Emília - wow .. oh, good, really good, I just have to see what I'm going to do ...
Eleanore - how about reading a book?
Emilia - book ...?
Eleanore - yes, a book. Whenever I read a good book, everything goes very fast, like time or bad things.
Emília - um… Okay, but I think I'll leave it until tomorrow, it's getting dark and today I want to sleep in a real bed.
A light breeze passes over my shoulders, making my and Eleanore's hair stand out in the wind.
Eleanore - I remember your first night in training, you had to sleep on the floor and the next day you woke up broken.
While eleanore laughed, I kind of felt good nostalgia just to remember those two passenger years with Eleanore and Stephen. It was a time that will stay in mind forever.
Eleanore - Emilia, can I ask you a question?
Emilia - what? Ah yes. Yes you can…
Eleanore - when was the last time you did something for the first time?
After your question I went a little still, I didn't know what to think, a cold went over my belly, but suddenly I felt happy.
Emília - I don't know what to say. I used to stay at home all day, every day, anything was new to me. So nowadays, I kind of consider myself a person who is discovering his world.
I was happy with my answer and Eleanore also seemed happy with my answer.
And when I least expect it, we finally arrive at the inn.
Eleanore said goodbye by slapping my head and leaves. I make the payment and go up to my room. It was not well lit, it doesn't even come close to being a five-star room, but it slept in huts in the middle of the forest, if I went through it, I can go through anything, so I hope.
Emília - I think I'm going to sleep…
Meanwhile, someone with white hair was entering the inn.
