A surreal day:

We found a local library in a village we were visiting. It was not a big library, but still better than no library at all. Yun got so excited & asked if we could stay here for a while. Everyone seemed interested at first, but gradually they all got bored & went out with the excuse of finding food & a place to stay at night. Yun stayed, & so did I.

While he flew to his own world of books, I started to search for some specific subjects. Here is what I found as a result. Now I know that some species can turn into beautiful human beings by "True love's kiss"! (This didn't work the last time I got mine.) Also, there are some other species, like mermaids for example, who become human by making a contract with witches. But they have to give something special instead, in order to get what they want.

In some other books, there is another solution called the "Black Magic". I can get a great deal of magic by casting a magic circle. All I need is to have a copy of the spell & the circle's map itself, and a few candles. Hmm, that won't be hard if I use the fire which our group makes during the camping time as my candles. Yep, that'll work… oh good heavens… Yun is standing right behind me!

-"What are you reading?" he asks. Now I have to make the books accidentally fall! … Oops!

-"Woah! The book fell! Let me pick it up." Yun goes under the table for the book, while I stealthily take the circle & spell's page. I'll have to return them later anyway. Perfect!

Some hours later:

I have the spell & the circle's page in my mouth. We're now sitting around our night fire. This fire is the key to solving all my problems. At the right moment I'll jump through it holding my circle & the spell. If it works, I'll turn into a beautiful human that Yun can love & hug & kiss!

Well, this is it. When I reborn as a human, I'll say goodbye to my squirrel life. To be honest, I had so many good & happy moments as a squirrel. I ate delicious food, & made kind friends. I'm so grateful to every single one of them. First there was "Shinah", my first real friend, who gave me home, & trust. Then there was Yona, who always smiled at me and brought adventures to us. And at last, I met Yun.

It's not like I won't see them again. I just won't be a squirrel anymore when I see them again. Okay, it's time. Nobody is watching. I gather all my strength, and jump. Then I see flames. They are so hot & furious. Will I be able to make it on time? It may be harder than I thought. And then, among the dancing flames of fire, I see Yun's concerned face who is running to me, & hear his voice calling my name: -"Aoooooooo!"

Yun, I'm going to see you later as a human! My Spring Holiday!

One last look, then I close my eyes, and all pictures & sounds dissolve into silent black.
