Changes is the law of nature and it only means that people are not contented and will never be contented.
"Hi!" Leo said from my back. He just came in time and just finished my virtual power training inside my tent.
"You're just in time. How are you? How's Anna?" I asked and he sat beside me.
"I'm fine. Anna misses you so much. All she is saying is about you but she's fine." Leo smiled. "How about you? How's your practice here?" he asked.
"I'm fine and luckily, I'm continuously improving," I replied. "I missed Anna too but I can't see her for now. Please take care of her for me," I added.
"Don't worry, I will always look after her. Besides, she's a strong girl," Leo said.
"Thanks a lot, Leo. You already made a lot of things for me. I don't know how to pay you anymore," I said and I mean it. I know that I can do a lot of things even without Leo but because of him, my burdens had lessen.
"I'm not asking for any payment," he replied. "This sword." He pointed the sword beside the folding bed. "Is this the sword that has been stuck on trunk of the tree out there?" he asked.
I took the sword and show it to him. "I successfully got it lately," I said and gave him the sword.
"This sword is quite sharp and have a hidden power. If I'm not wrong, it's one of the swords of the guardians," Leo said.
"Guardians? Who are they?" I curiously asked and Leo give me back the sword.
"Some of the Angels that was given a task in this world had chosen to stay here forever. They vow to the King of Angels that they will protect this world from the evil plans of the demons and the from falling down one day. To prevent power exposure and abused in this world, the king of Angels took their power and sealed it in their swords. Those angels was called, The Guardians. They can control their own swords, it can drag them to fly and it moves as they wanted it to do," Leo explained.
"If it's a Guardian's sword, why is it here? How did I control it? I'm not a Guardian," I curiously asked.
"Maybe, you are the chosen one. The Guardians don't have power but they are still immortals. Once they gave up their duties and choosen to go back to Skies and Heavens, they will die here and comeback to the Paradise like a mortal. Before they can go back, they have to choose a new Guardian that will replace them," Leo explained.
"I don't want to be a Guardian. I want to help this World and make it a better one but I want it in my own ways." I said and went out of the tent.
Leo followed me, "the sword had chosen the right one, the right master. You wanted to take care of this world, that's a quality of a Guardian."
I throw the sword in the air and make it dance. I jump and catch the sword in the air. I happily strike it everywhere, throw it and catch it.
"That was nice," Leo immediately said when I went down.
"The Guardians, where can I see them?" I asked Leo.
"I don't know that but I guess, it's just near. If you are a chosen Guardian, your fate will lead you to them," Leo said.
I don't want to let him know that I found a strange large house in this forest. Besides, I've already told him almost everything about myself but he's still not telling me what is his mission. It's just fair if I keep some secrets.
"How's your mission?" I asked.
"I'm already working on it. Soon, it will be done," he seriously replied.
"You still can't tell me what is your mission?" I asked.
"It will only bother you and your practice. I better not tell you," he immediately replied.
"Fine," I said and pout.
"Do you really want to know it?" Leo asked.
"No!" I immediately replied and roll my eyes.
"Alright. It's getting dark now, I have to go home. Bye, Claire," Leo said and I didn't answer. He just shook his head and walked away.
"I will visit you in the other day," he said before he entered the secret passage.
I'm alone again. I eat the food that Leo brought for me. What if I sneak out and check who is inside that house. This is gonna be so exciting. I feel that the house is not just a simple one but it have something special inside.
I wear all black and carried the sword. I fly toward the large house that I've seen lately. As I'm getting closer, I've seen a lot of guards outside the house.
The guards wears a formal suit, long sleeves and slacks. They are like private guards and they have guns on their waist. I've seen 20 guards in total, they are placed by four in every corner. The house have only one door and no opened windows.
I hide myself in the nearest lofty tree. It's dark here and the guards won't see me easily. They are just using torches to light up the house, it's not a long range light. There are four men in the door and they are very alert now.
I really wanted to enter and know what's inside the house but how?
I get a rock and let my sword carry it. I control the sword so that the rock won't fall. I make it fly into the other corner and throw the rock into the roof of the house. "Booogs," it's quite a big noise and the guards run into the direction where the rock came from. I successfully tricked them and they are looking for me in the wrong direction now.
I immediately run into the door but I can't open it. I tried to push the door but it can't be opened. There's no doorknob, lock or anything that can be open outside the door. The house maybe designed which can only be opened from the inside. I don't want to destroy anything just to enter this house. Besides, I'm not sure what is inside and it can be very dangerous for me.
