***LEN MIRRIA***

I knock at the door of a cream-colored house near the harbor. The door immediately opens revealing a purple-haired person, Gakupo, smiling idiotically at me. He points at his cheeks, "You missed a spot here."

Mirroring him, I wipe it off with the back of my hand and sure thing, a dark stain from what I did earlier is left behind.

"So, did you meet someone strong?" he lets me inside his house and I ignore his question. I sit on their sofa, a soft blue covered seat which I just labeled mine. "Ahh… I guess since they all died, you didn't." he answers his own question.

"Can I speak to Luka?"

Before Gakupo could answer, a pink-haired beauty steps in and stands beside her husband with a smile. "Yes, what can I do for you, Len?"

In Rilla, in our world, there are two different races. Humans and fayes.

Humans and fayes are quite similar to each other. They live in Rilla and they believe in Cosmos, the creator of everything. They breathe the same air and do almost the same things. But Fayes are blessed with the ability of magic and that is enough reason for the human's antagonism towards fayes.. Because of this difference, both races don't get along well.

As the relationship becomes harsher, war started on who will rule the lands. Like any war, it was bloody, a chaos, there was death everywhere.

The fayes had the advantage in the war of lands for they have their abilities that can cause immediate damage to humans but the humans have this adaptive ability. Some of the humans, are granted by the Cosmos, skills that are unique from others, and from this skills, the humans created items that have the same abilities that fayes can do. These skilled humans were called Blue Bloods, for they use their blood in the creation of the magic items.

By using magic items, humankind and fayekind become of at the same standing in strategic matters in the war.

But the Cosmos became angry. When the final battle was set, before swords and spells were unleashed, a storm in between the races appeared. Lightning streaked the sky and the goddess of creation appeared before the two races, the Cosmos.

"You imbeciles. I've created this world and I made you, humans and fayes, to be the balance of it. Why do you fight and destroy the beautiful things that I had made? Is it because, you, humans, long to have the ability of Magia? Or is it because, you, fayes, believe that I am in favor of the humans? Nay. You are both wrong. You fight because you don't understand each other. Then I shall create a connection. A connection where humans can have the ability of Magia and where fayes can see what I see about the humans. You'll light that connection and create your story. Entertain me. Dance. Sing. Act."

"But be warned, these connection is also lethal, for humans may abuse this power and fayes may succumb to the new feelings that they might experience."

The Cosmos disappeared but the storm stayed, flooding the war fleets of both race.

No one died but the war was stopped because of both races' fear of the goddess' wrath.

And unknown to the two races, a different kind of fayes appeared: they have the appearance of beautiful humans yet have the destructive ability of the nature itself. They are called the Enchantresses.

"What can I do for you, Len?" Luka tucks a lock of pink hair behind her ear as both Gakupo and her sits in front of me.

"I believe you know of it already."

She smiles and waves her right hand over a table between us. A large leather bound book appears, its cover having intricate designs of silver colored swirls and spirals. Her hand stays above the book, chants a spell and it flips open. Its pages waft the smell of shelved parchments. The flipping stops revealing a blank yellowish page in the book.

"Ask your question," she places her hand neatly back on her lap.

"Rin Kagamine," is all I say. The page then is blotted by a black dot, a line follows and a curve, until it writes a letter in a cursive form. The letter turns to words and the words becomes sentences.

Rin Kagamine doesn't exist.

I click my tongue and glared at Luka. She blinks and smiles, "It's not broken, I tell you. It's stating the fact. Rin Kagamine doesn't exist. In our world, I say."

"Our world? What do you mean about that?" I ask but she shrugs and gives me a feigning look.

The clogs in my mind begin to turn using the hint that Luka told me. Rin doesn't know anything about Rilla and magic because she's not from here? Then, why is she an enchantress?

I try another word again, "Rin Kagamine. Other world."

The page erases the current writing that it has and writes another one. This time, it writes plenty of places from different worlds written in smaller fonts and enough for the page to be filled. Luka and Gakupo stare at it and whistle. "It appears there is quite a number of Rin Kagamine in the universe."

I don't take the time to read all of them and says another, "Rin Kagamine. My enchantress."

It takes time before it erases the entire list it made before writing something that might not be worth at all. But this time, instead of writing something, it shows a black and white picture of a certain mirror that I'm familiar of. Under the picture, the book writes:

Mirano Dimea et Krono

"Mirror of Dimension and Time" Luka whispers, awe obvious in her voice. "I didn't know it still exists."

"I didn't know you didn't know something," Gakupo comments.

Luka giggles, "Yes but, in history, that mirror was broken when the Witch of Time used it to turn back time."

Upon hearing the name 'Witch of Time', I, who was wondering why the book showed me that mirror, look at Luka and asks, "The Witch of Time? Do you mean 'Rillianne'?"

She nods, "That mirror was owned by the Enchantress of Dimensions, her sister. There's not much information about it but it lets you see to the past, present and future of the different dimensions."

The mirror, Rillianne and the connection to Rin being severed. Rillianne was at Rin's dream, so the possibility of her coming back to Rin is high. It could be the reason why I can't hear Rin anymore but

I try asking the book about the mirror's whereabouts but it pauses, starts to write something, erases it and writes another one until it scratches the whole page and closes the book.

"Oh," Luka blinks, surprised at the book's attitude, "I guess, the All-Knowing Book also don't know everything at all." The book seems to hear this and as if sulking, disappears in a puff of smoke, leaving ashes behind. Luka gasps, "How dare you," she sighs to calm herself, "I guess I need to make a new one, one who doesn't throw tantrums like a child."

"Is there another way to find the mirror?"

The pink-haired shakes her head, "I'm sorry but, if the book doesn't know it, I don't know it either, since I'm the one who made it."

I sigh rather loudly.

"How about that map?" Gakupo suggests.

"What map?"

"The map where you can find the end of the legame? Since when you asked the book about this Rin's whereabouts, titling her as your enchantress, the book gave a specific answer. So, I think if you ask the locator, you can -" before he finish, Luka stands up and claps her hands.

"Splendid! I didn't think of that!" a yellowish scroll appears in front of her. She grabs it, unrolls it and puts in on the table. Like the page in the book, it is blank.

"This is the locator. A very rare item that finds the unknown or known ends of the string," Gakupo explains, his arms crossed over his chest.

"How does it work?"

He grabs my hand and unsheathes a knife from his buckle belt. He, then, cuts me a bit and let the blood drip on the scroll. The drop of blood then moves to the center of the scroll and a map appears on it. The single dot of blood is located at Gakupo's house, here.

"That's odd," he looks at Luka, his brows furrowed in confusion, "Is this supposed to do this?

Luka looks down at the scroll and shakes her head, "I don't think so. Usually, it shows the two dots even how far each are. But right now, it's only Len's location which appears."

I look at the red dot closely and somehow, I feel like I am about to be sucked in by something that I don't know.

There is an uncertain beating in my chest. It feels like it's been squeezed tight by a certain something close to ropes. And the dot moves.

The single dot becomes two, the new one beside the other. A single black line can be barely seen in between them. Then the new dot moves far away and stops at a certain place.

I frown as I see where it stops.

Off all places, why is it there?

I take a breath and the tightening in my chest eases. The dots become a single one again.

"We're sorry Len," Gakupo runs his hand through the long locks of his hair, "We don't know what's wrong with this locator."

I look at them, flabbergasted, "Wait, didn't you see that?"

They look at me questioningly, "See what?"

"For a bit, when I was looking at the scroll, the dots became two and the other one moved to here," I point at the place where I least want to go.

They look at the place I've pointed and Gakupo looks back at me worriedly. "Len, this place is…"

"I know," I massage the in-between my eyes which is starting to get tired. After knowing the place, I just start to get tired. I didn't get to sleep this few days because of talking to Rin and I guess the fatigue is catching up.

"If you want, I can go with you," Gakupo continues.

I shake my head, "No. Luka's expecting, right? You need to stay beside her always."

Luka smiles and says a thank you. Gakupo on the other hand, continues to stare at me with worry.

"We'll be closely watching you," he pats my shoulder and sighs in resignation. He knows me, not best but at least he knows how stubborn I can be, "If ever I find you in danger, we'll immediately come to you, understand?"

The place where the second dot stopped was by the Mystic Falls. In a cottage near it, was a place where we used to live.

I remember that I like being in that cottage. Because there was just this certain warm feeling that invades in me as I ran around the house. There were also endless puzzles in that place. Puzzles that if solved, can lead you to another place, which is why, I called these puzzles 'keys' because they open certain doors leading to different places.

The whole cottage is a puzzle itself.

I don't know why we live in that cottage even if we have a castle. I don't know why there are certain things in that cottage that are precious to her. I don't know why I feel nostalgic around the place. I don't know why every time I try to solve a puzzle, she would frown at me and tell me to take it easy and let time unseal those keys. I don't know why she told me that, so I finished all the puzzles I could find.

Until I found that one last puzzle.

I tried to finish it. I haven't even solved it yet. And yet, someone burned the cottage when I was away looking for a gift for her.

She was inside the cottage then.

That was the time she disappeared.

And now, I am surprised to see. For the whole eight years that I didn't come back here, the once burned to crisp cottage is back to what it was once, a quaint two story cottage.

I find it odd. For the form and the mystery that shrouds it is the same to once it was.

I take a step forward and knock at the door three times. Nobody answers. I knock again, but not a single noise is inside. I push the door open and just like it once was, I hear some mechanisms of metal hitting each other. What welcomed me was still the same interior. The red seat in front of the fireplace, the wooden table in the kitchen, the chairs that I used to make a make-shift stand and the swirling stairs going up, everything is still in their rightful place.

The place is full of memories of me and her. Memories when I was the richest boy in the world. But now, everything is but an illusion. I am blinded by my longing for the past.

Thinking that someone is toying with me, I turn around to go out. With a few steps away from the outside, I hear a beautiful melody. The door suddenly bangs close and I lost my consciousness.

***RIN KAGAMINE***

Leon Kagamine isn't really my biological father. When I woke up, he was the first one to welcome me back. I don't know a single thing about everything. I don't remember anything. He was just smiling at me as I tried to recall who he is and who I am.

I was once dead. But the Tech Sorcerer raised me back. I was called a Neo-Child then. A new life from a previous. I wasn't one of a kind, there are others like me, but I was a bit different.

Neo-Children are deemed as a revolution to creation since the Tech Sorcerer made life after death. So some people looked down on us.

Leon stopped creating Neo-Children and those who are already made kept their identities hidden.

Neo-Children have advanced abilities compared to normal people. Speed, intelligence, beauty, charm and strength. We are superior. But they lack one thing, emotions. They do socialize with other people, but their reactions are based for what's good for them. We are programmed to do so. To be logical.

I was the black sheep. Because when I woke up, for unknown reasons, my chest ached and tears fell. I have emotions. I have dreams.

But these emotions are too much. That's why every year, I restart. I'll erase everything that I feel so I can live a proper Neo-Child life.

Because if I can't restart…

My heart aches, my body tenses. I keep on calling for someone's name that I don't know. I keep on hearing another voice, looking for me. And worst… I can kill other people. I can become another person. I can't be Rin anymore.

I can still hear the melody.

A warm feeling invades my whole existence.

Someone's warm hand touches mine.

"I promise, I won't let you feel that way again…"

I notice some strands of long golden hair, "Who are you?"

"What do you wish the most?"

I close my eyes, deep in thought, "I want to stay as Rin. I want to be me."

Her hand touches my cheeks, "Then you'll be Rin. The one and only Rin."

I open my eyes and see her gentle blue eyes. I am overwhelmed with happiness as I saw a familiar face of a woman.

She is the pretty lady that I've been seeing lately whenever I sing.

She smiles at me but slowly disappears.

"Don't worry. You have a new heart. A new life. All there's left is to look forward."

And then, I am alone in that black void.

***LEN MIRRIA***

When I woke up, I am in front of the antique mirror which I've dreamed off. Mirano Dimea et Krono. The Mirror of Dimensions and Time. When the book showed this, all I could think was the fact that we owned it while we lived here. This was the last puzzle piece that I couldn't solve.

The melody which lulled me to sleep plays again coming from the mirror.

For a bit, I was amazed, an inner want of finding more about where the music comes from bubbles in my consciousness. But I pull myself together. I'm here to find Rin.

I gently touch the mirror's surface. Just like any mirror, it's cold. My reflection's frown changes to a gape as a flick of light appears at my touch. I remove my hand and the light disappears.

Interesting.

I touch the mirror again and the light appears. I don't let my hand go and the light grows until it covers the mirror. The cold surface is replaced by warmth.

I close my eyes to feel the warmth but see a glimpse of golden hair under the sun.

I open my eyes so sudden for a picture in my head is suddenly stuck. I can't seem to shake off the wonder of her smile. I look back at the mirror and to my surprise, a girl is in the mirror, dressed in all white, her hand on mine, tears on her cheeks.

The feeling of tightening in my chest comes back.

"Rin? Is that you, Rin?"

She shakes her head and her mouth moves but I can't hear a thing. I observe the movement of her lips and understand, "I don't know if I am Rin. I don't who I am."

"Why are you crying?" a stupid question that I blurt out.

She smiles sadly, "I don't know either."

Then the melody starts to fade, the light flickers slowly to black, same with her reflection.

"What's happening? Where are you going?"

I hear a crack from the mirror and true, there is a large crack from the bottom.

She wipes her tears and gives one last smile, "I'm going far away."

The melody halts and mirror breaks.

I stay inside the cottage for a breather.

That girl gives somewhat similar vibe to the one from my dreams, though, she seems more mature in my dreams.

I once thought of it as a product of my tired mind and imagination but now, I take it back. It could mean something that I need to figure out.

When I take a step outside the cottage, the feeling of tightening in my chest, comes back again, a gust of wind forms around me and a magic circle appears below me. I panic for a bit, thinking that it is a trap but I hear something strange, a voice of a screaming girl coming from above.

I look up and true enough, there is a girl: the same girl I saw in the mirror. She falls on me and I feel something soft on my lips.

The magic circle breaks and disperses into small crystals, blown by the wind.
