****(In Monsayah village)****
The night was serene and quiet, only the rustling sounds from the trees could be heard a the autumn chilly breeze blows over them gently. The saphaire full moon light illuminated the surface of the earth creating long large shadows from the trees and hilly street as the moon reflect on them.
Running under the languid moon is a young girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. Her short white flared gown was now covered with dirt, her bare feet now numb for running for too long and her long black siky hair straggled in the air as she run endlessly and her loud hyperventilation engulfed the tranquility of the night.
She had no clue that tell people who were after her quit a long ago, she just want to make sure she's in a safe place far from predators who wan to take her back to that dungeon. She knew they will never quit going after her until try her and this time, they'll just kill her. She had no inkling what those weird creatures want from a fragile thing like her.
She wanted to quit running when re numbness in her body eleteriorated but that conjured up the memories of her life in that dungeon. The torture, pains, abuse, loneliness, phobia and trauma. There's no way that she want to go back there. She chanted words of encouragement to herself and kept running until her environment suddenly changed, she halted, breathing in short pants as her eyes wandered about, she was now in a forest. Strange. Too sudden to be real. And the darkness in this forest is thicker than the normal night.
Fear. She wantedto scream but thanks to the torture and torment in hat dungeon and now she has phonotrauma and couldn't ale a sound.
She looked up to the sky which now has no moon, no stars, only fog dilating in trice as if thunderous rain is Threatening to descendants.
When the fog finnaly dispelled leaving only the strange darkness, she felt like she was being touched in the forehead, the warmness followed by the touch engulfed her whoever body that she couldn't point a finger and at the same time, light overwhelmed the darkness in the forest, shining brightly till it glanced her eyes then he heard people talking around her.

"Its been three weeks already, Master Leo" "Almost a month" "Are you sure she'll be alright?" Sally demanded sitting beside the pale figure in the bed and a man sat at the other side of the bed and glued his eyes on the sleeping lassie who didnt give any clue of waking up any time soon. He was woried an unable to think clearly. He was amazed when he found her but furious when he realized that some creatures were chasing after her and before he could save her, she was unconscious. And why she's sleeping too long is because she's trapped in her dream.
"Send for Lynn" was all he said without shifting his gaze from her. "Pardon?" Sally thought she misheard him. "Send for Lynn" He reiterated and Sally didn't ask why but did as told , she stood up and left the room.
"Everything willl be alright..." "Very soon, Krystal" He muttered when Sally left. He sifted few strand of hair from her face to her temple and almost immediately, the door open revealing Sally and and another girl whose name is Lynn. Leo retrieved his hand and watch the two women approach the bed. Lynn bowed slightly to him and sat beside Krystal in the bed.
"I need you to check if she's trapped by dark magic or darkness" He said calmly sparing her a glance."Master Leo, I'm sorry but if she's trapped by dark magic, I won't be able to get into her dream" Lynn said phlagmetically "Why?" Leo demanded "Because she's not just a Saint but a supreme saint, and if I force myself into her Dream, I'll be trapped as well" She explained
"Find out first if it's dark magic" Lleo said baldly and resumed staring at Krystal.
Lynn began by casting some spells and bright energy emerges from her palm before she placed it on Krystal's forehead and the light dispelled almost immediately.
"She's really strong" She mumbled retrieving her hand quickly and Leo frowned.
"Just giv her some time, she'll be alright" She added and Salt sighed in disappointment. "What happened?" Sally asked walking forward to the bed. "She's trapped by darkness in the dark forest" Lynn responded, Sally was about to ask another question but gasped instead when she saw Krystal's lips slightly pouting. "She's awake" she gasped and all eyes stared at Krystal's pale face whose eyes were now open.
Krystal stared at the ceiling for a while like someone who just got resurrected. Her paled purple lips pouted again but no words can out...just then she heard someone talk.
"She's awake" She turned her head slowly to meet with pair of brown eyes. She tried to sit up but her back hurt for lying for too long and she winced. "Lynn, tell the maids to prepare her bath and break her meal here" Leo instructed, he was excited but didnt want anyone to notice as he conceal his feelings with expressionless tone.
Lynn quickly left the room and Krystal turned her head to the person talking and met with Leo's grey eyes. Her eyes widened with shock. She felt like she know him somewhere...
