When Sakura fell asleep, she saw herself in an endless darkness. The brunette recognized it as the same void from last time, before she and her friends were spirited away into their current world.
"Another vision?" Sakura worriedly thought. During her time traveling with Aladdin, she would see more visions in her sleep. Though the visions didn't come often, when they did, the brunette was shown people dying and the bloody war from before. In these dreams, Sakura would see the three people in the middle of it all, fighting like they had before. However, this time was different. As Sakura prepared herself for yet another nightmare, she noticed that something was off. There was a small stream of light coming from her right. Frowning, Sakura cautiously walked over to inspect the light. As the brunette got closer, the light grew brighter, forcing Sakura to shield her eyes from it. When the light was gone and Sakura could open her eyes again, she gasped. This time, there was no fire, no dead corpses, and no people fighting. Instead, there was a lively kingdom, full of color and joy. Men and creatures alike were laughing and talking with each other. The sun shone down brightly, illuminating the kingdom even more. Sakura stared at the scene in shock. As she looked around, her eyes fell on a group of people, laughing.
"Those people..." Sakura murmured to herself. In the group there was a young woman with long, orange hair tied in loops and a rather large chest was holding a small baby. She was arguing with a massive, muscular man with long white hair, tied in a ponytail, and an eye patch on his left eye; a ring was pierced at the corner of his mouth. Next to them on their left was a tall man with dark skin, glasses, and short purple hair with two long strands in the front; next to the dark skinned person was a shorter man with light lime-green hair, some sticking up. On the arguing couple's right, was also a man with glasses and young woman. The man with glasses had light blue in a braid and a long scarf wrapped around his neck. Though he seemed like a bookworm, he was quite muscular as well. The woman next to him had long brown hair plaited into two ponytails. A sideways golden crescent moon with a jewel in the middle was on her forehead. The young woman was holding hands a small boy, around five years old, smiling as the boy laughed loudly at the arguing couple. A strange nostalgic feeling rose inside Sakura when she noticed something else.
"I wonder...are they in charge?" Sakura thought when she saw three more people in front of the group. One was a female with long magenta colored hair, some sticking up to resemble cat ears. She was staring at the couple, exasperated yet the woman eye's glitter with laughter. Next to her was a person draped in a pink shawl. Her back was towards Sakura, so the brunette was unable to see what she looked like. Next to the woman in the shawl was a man. His blue hair was put into a braid, but two wavy strands fell down his face. He had well defined muscle but managed to retain a slender figure. Sakura realized that all the people she saw were wearing Arabic styled clothing. All of them had a strange red mark in the middle of their foreheads, though it was hard to tell for the two children and the woman in the shawl. Sakura looked back at the blue haired man. A wave of sadness washed over her as the brunette kept staring.
"W-What is this sadness...Why am I feeling like this?" Sakura mentally questioned herself. Yet, she couldn't help but think he seemed really familiar, just like Andromalius and Ugo. As she tried to figure where this strange feeling came from, Sakura noticed that the blue haired man was staring at the shawled woman with a look of longing. Sakura noticed the magenta haired woman was looking at the man with the same expression.
"Unrequited love huh?" Sakura murmured, the strange sadness welling inside her heart again. Suddenly, the woman in the shawl turned around and Sakura was able to see her face. Unfortunately, the shawl covered most of her face, but the brunette was able to see her eyes. What shocked Sakura was that the woman's eyes were colored emerald green, the very same shade her own eye color was. Immediately when the green eyed woman looked back, the blue haired man looked to the side, his cheeks blushing a bright red. The woman who was staring at him also looked elsewhere, but she didn't blush. Instead, a look of sadness appeared on her face. Sakura immediately felt guilt welling in her heart, replacing the sadness that had originally surfaced. The group all began to laugh loudly, with the exception of two people. The light blue haired man with glasses frowned and the brown haired woman with a child pursed her lips worriedly. Both had seen the expression the pink haired girl had on her pale face.
Then, the vision faded away. Soon after, Sakura found herself in a hallway. It was quite beautiful, with gold arches and marbled walls. Delicate flowers were painted across a small part of the wall. As she admired the exquisite drawings, Sakura suddenly heard footsteps and voices. The brunette turned around and saw two people walking down the hall. One of them was the green eyed woman Sakura saw before. The woman replaced the shawl with pink hood. Beneath it, her emerald colored eyes shone out. The woman wore a white dress with tilted sleeves, exposing her left shoulder. White slippers were slipped on her feet, matching the dress. Sakura noted that the other woman was a new face. She had bright yellow hair that were in two ponytails. Just like the others, she also wore Arabic styled clothing, but with some more additions. A small green tiara shaped like wings was nestled on her head. A silver bangle tinged with green and yellow was decorated her slender wrists. Her clothes were also in shades of green and yellow. A pair of yellow feathered wings were on her back, fluttering slightly with anxiety. The person with the wings looked awfully familiar to Sakura. Then she gasped in shock when the brunette realized why. The woman looked exactly like Windy, one of the element cards in her deck. But why was she here? Just then, Windy began to speak.
"My Lady! Why did you agree to his proposal?" She questioned. "You must realize that he-" The hooded woman held out her hand, and Windy fell silent.
"My most loyal friend and guardian, you know why I agreed." She whispered. "As you know, our destinies are intertwined in order to maintain the balance. His proposal is simply the results of said destinies." Windy looked worriedly at the hooded female.
"I understand, but what if you truly fell in love with him?" She asked. The hooded person stopped walking and turned around to look at Windy straight in the eyes.
"I won't fall in love with him. His love nothing but infatuation and part of our shared fate" She replied. She turned around and started walking. "Besides, I am cursed to never love again..." Having heard all of this, Sakura began to ponder. What proposal was she talking about? What did the woman mean to be cursed to never love again? There simply too many questions that Sakura couldn't figure out. As the two left, the brunette noticed, out of the corners of her eyes, a figure moving behind her and turned around to see a familiar figure. There stood the blue haired man with the braid, staring along the direction where the two women walked.
"Is that why, all this time, you've been afraid to love?" he whispered. "Then, with my powers, I will break this 'curse' that binds you. I promise under my name, Solomon Jehoahaz Abraham." Sakura has no time to contemplate his words when the scene faded once more, and she was swallowed up by the darkness.
Sakura's vision turns up more questions. Who was the mysterious woman with green eyes? How does she know Windy? Who's Solomon? (I'm pretty sure you already know..." What is Sakura's connection to that place and those people? Stick around!
