The entirety of the world was white. Small bubble shaped-like things moved around. Countless thoughts moved around me at an insane rate. I moved not.
"…"
I woke up. Looked left and right and realized I was lying beside Cloud and Mera. I removed the leg from my body and noticed. It was morning. What just happened?
I was in a very usual state of mind. Whenever I read a book and I have to figure out the ending or the way the story goes next.
Cloud woke up beside me with a loud moan.
He looked at me, carried Mera to the root of the tree and strangely smiled. He whispered to himself whilst looking at the palm of his hands. He bent to the grass, spreading his arms feeling the floor in random directions.
"Here you are" he said talking to the grass.
Cloud pulled out a book from the grass, dusted it and sighed.
He faced me not long after and said "Moonlight, are you done with everything"
"With what" I replied confused.
"Everything with the house" he continued.
What does, he means everything with the house, Does, he means if I'm done with everything for this house.
"What do_"
"I mean if there's nothing you still haven't finished" he replied, cutting my question before I finished.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm done with everything with the house as of now. I read all my unfinished books to get over boredom before evening.
"No, don't think so" I answered.
He hummed and replied "Good, because we are leaving today"
Huh. What, does he mean?
"Last night, I spoke with _. No, Great Uncle said we are leaving today" he continued on.
What does he mean we are leaving today when we haven't even learnt or even mastered Elro. I need an answer for this.
I began to question "What do ___"
"I know what you're thinking right now" Cloud interrupted.
"Huh"
"I'm sure you're asking how did I know? Right." he proposed.
I nodded.
"Well, you see …" he began explaining.
Apparently, we did master Elro and were asked to fight_ spar Great Uncle. We destroyed the entire field and as time passed, our immense strength was reducing.
We fought [coughs] or were pushed to play with Great Uncle until the stars of the night showed their presence. Something, something happened and Mera slept first, followed by me and hours later Cloud slept.
How was I able to fight without ever fighting before?
"And that was how I was able to interact with Great Uncle and learn of the fact we are leaving today" he said, ending his speech.
Wait. "We have mastered Elro" I asked.
"Yep" he replied nodding his head. "Though we have to go to school to learn how to use it effectively" he tones sounded irritated saying that.
When did all these happen, I don't remember mastering any form of Elro. The only thing I remember was Great Uncle explaining and him giving us two choices to choose from.
"Moonlight"
When did all these happen?
"Moonlight" Cloud called tapping me on the shoulders.
I was spooked but regained consciousness.
"What are you thinking about let's go for our last test". He spoke.
Last test, "What did you just say" I asked trying to recall.
He stayed quiet and stared at me.
"About some test?" I asked again.
"Oh that, there's a test" he replied placing his hands at the back of his head with a smile.
"What's the test", I pushed for an answer.
Cloud looked at me for some seconds and replied "You ask too many questions, let's go"
And he walked off. He still looked back and gave me a hand gesture indicating I should follow. So, I followed.
I looked back and saw Mera still sleeping comfortably on bed made out of flowers. Where did that bed come from?
As we walked through the hallway of the 2nd floor, a bunch of questions crossed my mind: If we are leaving today. That means that whoever is picking us. Is already here? Maybe I should ask Cloud?
We were already at the end of the hallway that takes minutes to just pass through. A twisted stairway placed at our front connects all three floors together.
"Finally, the only simple place to pass through" Cloud sounded relieved saying that.
We reached the third floor and headed to our rooms. As we got closer three figures appeared in the distance: a black-haired woman, Febia and Great Uncle.
Cloud rushed to the area and I followed.
As we rushed closer, the woman's face became visible. I knew her. Her face was same as the one that stood at my front when I was still a newborn.
According to Cloud, her name is Phoenix.
