Morning arrived at last, after the long night. Claude opened his eyes, feeling sick and tiered. He sat up and thought about what he saw in his nightmare. That man he constantly saw told him something useful for once. Claude had figured out the haunting puzzle.
"The Hoffman Ruins is our target." He said to no one in particular. He stood up and made his way downstairs to find Rena gone and Westa eating at the table. She lifted her head and looked at him.
"Oh, I see you've woken up." She said.
"Wheres Rena?" Claude asked, as if he didn't know.
"She went to" Westa began.
"The Shingo Forest, right?" Claude finished.
"Yeah. She was talking about Mr. Flac as she walked out of the door, but I have no idea what she means."
"Well, I'll go talk to her if you want me to."
"I would like that. Shes never been that concentrated on something like that." Westa said in a concerned tone. Claude stepped out the door and looked at the peaceful village. Arlia, of all towns on Expel, was recovering from the tragedy that bombarded El quite fast. If you looked at this village, you could hardly tell anything happened. Claude began to walk toward the forest of beauty as some children screamed happily. As he passed the church he remembered the time he and Rena first met. He smiled softly and continued on his way. He entered the forest and begin to look for his loved one. (^_^) Claude found her within a few minutes. Rena was facing the other way, away from Claude. He decided to sneak up on her, just to see what she would do. He quietly walked up to her and grabbed her. She jumped and fell into Claude's arms.
"Hey." Claude said as he started to laugh a little. Rena leaned into him.
"You think that's funny?" She said.
"I'm just laughing." He said. "Westa told me you were talking about Dias, is that true?"
"Yeah."
"What about'm?"
"I, had a strange feeling that he's not on Expel." She said quietly. "Like he's gone forever."
"Oh? And how is that?"
"I'm not sure." She snuggled up to him and looked into his deep blue eyes. "I just do."
"I almost forgot." Claude said. "Oh lord, how to say this, I don't know." He let go of her and turned around. At this point he regrets keeping his nightmares a secret. "Uh, for the past, week, maybe more, I've been having these nightmares, all about the same thing." Rena walked up to his side.
"That's terrible," She said.
"Yeah, but in the end of every one of them I see a man who always tells me something." Claude said.
"Things like what?" Rena asked as she grabbed his hand.
"Things like, 'Come with me and change the past, fix the future, that kind of thing." Claude replied. "I didn't believe any of it until now."
"What makes you believe that what he says is true?"
"Before I woke up, he said, uh..." Claude wasn't sure if he should tell her or not. He didn't want to her to think that he'd just been dreaming. These were some kind of sign, like a huge puzzle.
"What?" Rena asked.
" 'Although he is here, he is not. The almighty Ruins, hold the answer." Claude said as he looked at Rena who looked nothing but confused.
"I, I don't understand." Rena said.
"Everything this man says is like another piece to a puzzle." Claude explained. "And this, is the final piece."
"That makes sense, but, who is he?"
"The one the man was talking about?" Rena nodded. "Dias. Somehow, he had the same vision or whatever, and trusted the man and ended up in the past." Rena looked amazed. "Dias is trying to tell us that he is in Expel's past and needs our help."
"Now this all adds up." Rena said. "But one thing, who is this man?" Claude looked away.
"I can only think of two people he looks like. Either Narl...or..." Claude hesitantly finished his sentence. "My, father." Rena looked at him like she was worried about his sanity. But she knew better than to do that.
"And you have no idea, right?" She asked.
Yeah." Claude said quietly. There was silence. The only noise was the birds signing and the trees swaying. The chilling wind made Rena shudder and she moved closer to Claude. He pulled her in for a hug.
"Why am I saying things like this? I bet you don't believe me." Claude said. Rena looked up at him and kissed him gently.
You're wrong, Claude. I do believe you." Rena leaned her head on his chest. "I always have and always will."
"I'll remember that." Claude said. He leaned forward and kissed her deeply. Nearby in the trees stood a man, watching the two quietly.
"Enjoy this while you can." He said softly. "Cuz this may be the only moment you can enjoy for quite some time." He stealthy made his way out of the forest, dropping something on his way out on the main path.
