Before you start reading, I have to say something first. I write it quite poorly (at the description part) so please forgive me because I totally SUCK at describing things. I write this story purely out of fun and I don't really put a lot of time in it so….
The building has four floors including the ground floor and the area of a floor gets smaller every floor, from the bottom to the top. The building is colored in white and it gives off a calm vibe to whoever is inside it. The material that is used to build this building is unknown but it can make every single corner of the building bright, even without the sunlight shining in. It also make the building feel like a sacred palace.
At the North side of the ground floor, there is a library. A man was sitting on an antique chair, reading a book while drinking tea. Behind him lie all the books in existence. All the books on the bookshelves are all arranged in alphabetical order and were kept clean. Walk past the bookshelves and ye shall see The Book of Time which records every event that occurs since the beginning of time.
Suddenly, a loud of continuous footstep broke the silence of the library and the owner of those footsteps ran from the third floor to the right side of the man.
The man put down his tea and book as it floats in the air and turns his body to the right side.
"What is it again, Rhinne?" He asked.
She is a teenager wearing a white robe. Her pure and innocent looks with blue crystal eyes as her beauty could even make the goddess envy. Even though she is a teenager but she still has the heart of a child.
The man could not resist her cute and beautiful face and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"You are getting even more beautiful as each day passes. You are undoubtly the most beautiful female in existence."
Her face started blushing from the man's compliment and lay down her head. He smiled. He patted her head and uses his right hand to raise up her head by lifting her chin. He uses his left hand to move her snow white hair aside so that he could see her watery blue eyes.
He removes his hand from her chine and stood up. He moves a chair to this right side by using his power and let her sit down.
"So, what do wish to ask, Rhinne?" He sat down and looked at her as he asked.
"I heard Alicia was sleep talking and it seems like she was having a good dream. so I was wandering that you could tell me how to have a good dream."
"That wouldn't be a problem. But first, tell me-"
"A dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep." She said it out nervously with the fear of saying it wrongly.
"Good. It seems like you know what I am going to ask." He smiled.
"Of course, since you always ask me to say the correct definition of the topics that I asked you."
"Tell me Rhinne, what is YOUR definition for dream."
"Umm…Events that once occur and events that will take place in the future. Simply said, the Maple World."
"Then what kind of dream do you desire to have?"
"A dream that has no connection to the events of the world. A dream that is separated from The Great Flow of Time in this world."
"I believe that you already have the answer."
A sad expression appeared on her face and she lay down her head once again. She knew that her wish is impossible to happen.
"As the Transcendent of Time all you can see is the events that happened in The Great Flow of Time, even in your dreams. To put it shortly, the Destiny of this world. Your soul can only see the dreams of time and the time of dreams."
Rhinne tears started dropping down quietly.
He sighed.
"You should consider yourself lucky that you can still sleep unlike Chronica, which will cause Grandis's destruction by only sleeping."
"But I want to live as a human! I want to live freely without being bound to this place and can dream freely. I want to do anything I want, I want to live and die, I want to love you and have children but I can't! All because we are Transcendents! Why is this our destiny?" She raise up her head and look at the man eye to eye.
He uses his hand to wipe away Rhinne's tears.
"I know you want to be human, me and Alicia also craves to become humans but we can' is our jobs to make sure the Life, Time and Space of this world will always maintain balance, until the end of the world."
"But…"
He hugged her and wrapped her in his arms.
"Don't worry. One day, sooner or later, we must choose an heir to inherit the title as the Transcendents. When that time comes, we can live as humans. We just need to wait, so be patient okay?"
Rhinne nodded her head when he finished talking.
"Then, if we get married one day, I wish I can give birth to a pair of twin, a boy and a girl. Then we can live happily ever after like in the fairy tales. Okay?"
"Anything for you Rhinne."

"Mother! Mother! "
Rhinne snap back from her flashback when the Zero Twins call for her. She was originally sitting there to watch the night sky, but somehow her thought travels back to time.
"Mother Rhinne, it is time for dinner."Beta said.
"Really? Mother Rhinne? Didn't we agree on just 'Mother'?" Alpha said.
"Says the person who was embarrassed to even call our mother 'Mother' in the first place."
"Because I, I mean, WE didn't meet her before the 'first place' so we are not that close before with Mother."
"Now, now my children. You shouldn't be fighting with each other. Come, sit beside me."
Both Alpha and Beta make a funny face to each other without being notice by Rhinne before sitting down.
"Do you see that star?" Rhinne point at the brightest star with her finger.
When both Alpha and Beta look at the star their mother pointed at, they notice something is wrong.
"Mother that's-"
"I know. There is a hole between the wall of Mirror World and Maple World and it is expanding."
"But that shouldn't have happened! If the hole IS expanding then-"
"Worry not, my child. When the wall disappears, I can finally go to the Maple World and spend my time living as a human."
"Mother that would be impossible."
"It should be impossible. But look closely at that star. Feel the star's existence with your soul and you will know."
The Zero Twins listen to their Mother and feel the star's existence. A few moments later, they feel a large amount of power flowing from the star to that hole.
"Do you feel it my children?"
"Yes, but, how? How is it possible?"
"That star is the brightest star in existence. You can see that star in any corner of this world. It contains a mysterious and tremendous amount of power—It gives hope to those who pray for miracles. "
"So it can make Mother live in the Maple World without one of us disappear, correct?"
"Exactly as you said my brilliant child. When I go back to Maple World, I will turn into an ordinary girl and I can finally live my life as a normal human." Rhinne's eyes shine with tears.
The Zero Twins look at their mother's happy face with a faint smile.
"Well then, let's go and eat our dinner shall we?" Rhinne said happily.
The Zero Twins smile to each other and walk into the room with their mother.

"'The Hope of The Star' is the name of that star." The man finally put all his things into his backpack.
"Do you really have to? Won't the world collapse?" Rhinne looked at him with her worrying eyes.
"I can't stay here forever. After I leave, you can Alicia can leave this place and a new Transcendent will be born to take over my place. This Transcendent will live as a mortal and will maintain the light in this world. His existence alone will maintain the Space in this world without even him knowing."
"Then, will you come back when I lose my transcendalism and become a human?"
"Of course I will. I can't leave my wife living alone as a human now can I?" He smiled. Rhinne giggled as he finished his sentence.
"Wait, I have something to give you."
Rhinne took out a crystal pendant from her pocket and hold it with both of her hands so that the man could see it clearly.
"This is The Crystal of Time. Whenever you miss me or the Maple World, just look at it and it will show you whatever you want to see."
He looked at it for a while. Then, he slowly grabbed the pendant and wears it.
"Thank you Rhinne. I always love you."
"Me too."
He bends down his body a little and kissed he on her lips. Rhinne blushed immediately.
When he leaves her lips, a portal opens up behind him and he carries up his backpack. He steps right into the portal and stopped. Before the portal closed, he turned back and said,
"I will be back."
