Thanks for the review, Leafstar! Hope you'll enjoy this next one too!

For those who like my story... please, let me know about it with a review!

The fires, resting on the candles, were stretching a lot: they disappeared along with the wind, as smoke was now coming from the top of the white candles. The fire from the chimney gradually shrunk, while smoke was raising between the logs.

The kids were all turning their heads and backs multiple times, seeing the entire area now assuming a dark blue tone.

I have… enough…

"So, my theories were true..." Mirii raises her face up, frowning, as her eyes were resting on the ceiling. "You came up with this whole plan, thinking to get rid of us by using magic illusions."

"Wait… don't tell me he's going to run away?!" Grina frowns even more, while staring at the girl.

I'm coming…

"Oh no!" Hun turns his head, as his eyes could track the stairs. "Let's all jump from the windows!"

"No, Hunry!" Grina raises her left sleeve first, then her right sleeve.

She keeps her frown, as she stands up from the chair and steps forward 3 times. She stands still, in front of the armchair's left side positioned almost in the center.

"I'm getting sick of running! I'm also getting sick of having this young appearance!" Her head tilts down, looking at her large pajama. "This guy is not going to make us grow back, until we knock him down on the cold, cold floor."

Bars pulls himself up, leaning on his hands, walking near the girl: he was frowning too.

"I'm with you, girl!" He pushes his right palm on his left fingers, as a cracking sound immediately follows.

He does the same gesture with his left palm on his right fingers, followed by a cracking noise. Mirii walks near the sofa, as her eyes were glued on the door-shaped hole, where the door was previously standing. Hun runs, stopping near the girl and standing on her left side: his eyebrows were lowered.

Red eyes appears above the pieces of the door.

Do you want to… fight me?

"Yes! You left us no choice!" Grina clenches her fists, bending her back forward a little.

The red eyes blinked multiple times: they rose a little, as light-blue smoke was appearing below. The smoke was taking different shapes: thick pants, a sweater with a jacket on and a head behind the red eyes. The kids raise their heads, slightly.

On the top of his head, there are two tentacles tied up in a white rubber band. On the red eyes, black irises grow out. On the top of the eyes, thick eyebrows grow too: they lowered. The jacket has a large checkered patch on the right side: the left corner is a bit shorter than the right one, with multiple arc shapes on its edges. The jacket has two large pockets: the right one has a small hill near the bottom.

The man lowers his head, as his eyes stare at Grina: she left her mouth open, moving her back a little backwards. He sinks his right hand on the jacket's right pocket: he pulls a knife, with a thick tang. It has dark spots on the tip area, with small holes on its edges.

"Your little fists are futile. I have a knife." He raises the knife.

"So, you decided to appear tall, leaving us shrunk down…" Grina's eyes scroll down until his large shoes, then scroll up until his head. She lowers her eyebrows, spitting near his shoes. "Disgusting."

He looks down on the spit, then looks back at the girl.

"Your size is not considered an advantage for me." He turns his head on each kid. "It'll make the events more legit."

"Legit?! What are you talking about?!" Grina roars, bending forward.

"You… … did you ever know about your ancestors?" He lowers his knife.

"Ancestors?! Dude, which thought road you took now?!" Bars grits his teeth.

"Wait a moment, Bars." Mirii turns her head over him.

"Uh?! What's it…?" He turns his head towards the girl.

She steps forward, lowering her eyebrows.

"I'm sure he was thinking how we know the same persons he met in the past… am I correct?" She holds on her hips.

The man nods, as his head was turned on the girl.

"You have her same skills…" His legs move on the left, as his body was now facing Mirii. "Always on track, always ahead of us all."

Mirii raises one of her eyebrows.

"Do you remember her full name?" She stretches down her arms.

"Anna Kelpshell." He raises his head, as his eyes look on the ceiling.

Mirii gasped, as her hands rest on her mouth.

"No… n-no! It c-can't be!" She shakes her head. "My last name is Kelpshell!"

"She always wanted to visit the city… often her dialogues were based around that theme… she even wrote down a letter, meant to be sent at the most prestigious university of that time... located in the middle of the city." His eyes were glued on the ceiling.

Silence fell down for 3 seconds.

"Look, buddy: do you really expect us to believe in your story?! What if you are reading our minds, so you could come up with the names?!" Grina frowns, lowering her eyelids.

"If he could, he would never crash on that tree!" Mirii looks at the girl.

She looks back, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh… well… th-that's a good point, actually…" She laughs, closing her eyes, as a sweat drop appears near the left side of her forehead.

"Julie Inkol."

Grina gasped, looking the man's eyes, as they glow through the area almost covered in darkness.

"She was the one, who often runs around the fields… always have the brightest smiles… always giving out a hand to her friends…" He lowers his head.

A tear came down his left eye. Grina shakes her head slowly.

"My ancestor… she was really like this…?" Her eyes expanded.

"Yes." He nods, turning over the girl. "She always hugged me, when I was crying… until that day."

His left hand curls up in a fist, shaking a little.

"Until the day when their parents entered in my house and took them away! They were all going away!" He frowns a lot, raising his head. "THEY WERE AWAY BECAUSE NO ONE WAS LIVING WITH ME!"

"What?!" Bars lowers one of his eyebrows. "Dude… don't tell me that"

"I DECIDED TO LIVE ALONE IN THE FIELDS! THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY TRIED TO TAKE EVERYTHING I HAD! THEY… th-they…" Other tears were coming down from his red eyes. " They took away her… the only thing who made my heart whistle every day…"

He leans his hand on his chest's left side. The kids' eyes were getting watery, as their arms were all stretched down.

"My heart… it required more privacy… more seclusion from any creature who I could communicate with… that's why I choose the fields…"

"The farms…?" Hun rubs his chin.

"I didn't except to see all those persons around me… I was often behind the walls of my house… as I was drawing an event panel…" He rubs his eyes.

"Wait a minute…!" Grina lowers her eyebrows. "The game we were playing before… you made it?!"

Silence follows up for 3 seconds.

"It was one of my latest creations… before I'd propose the game, at the companies living in the cities… I usually let 4 kids play with it. They were the only ones, who knock on my door and talked to me… my friends…" He lowers his head. "They always wanted to finish up my games, even though some of them were very luck-based…"

"Except this one…" Mirii folds her arms.

He shakes his head slowly.

"They listened to their parents… no one ever knocked on my door again… … I didn't even know what happened to me, until I could raise a boulder with my thoughts."

"You weren't sealed inside that game box…?" Grina tilts her head.

"Later that day, an old woman walks near me… she told me about my fate and how well she knows my story."

Hun gulped.

"Did you just said… an old woman?!" He trembles.

"Yes. She promises me to let me see my friends again… or should I say… their descendants." He looks at each kid. "They would receive the game and play it in the middle of the night… that's the only thing she told me about."

"Look…" Grina lowers her head a little. "We are sorry if we didn't finish up the game… but we are going to, once the sun is seen!" She raises it back.

"No… you only had one chance… one chance to show me the truth. You are no longer my friends." He frowns a lot.

"Why you didn't visit our ancestors?! What we have to do with this whole situation?!" Mirii frowns a little.

"Your ancestors… they are standing near you, in this very moment."

Grina let her jaw drop, as she slowly turn in a direction: another girl was looking her face. She was glowing a very bright white light, as she was wearing a long dress. Near Mirii, there's another girl wearing a long dress, around a very bright white light. Near Bars, there's a boy wearing a shirt and pants, looking at him, surrounded by white light: he nods. Near Hun, there another boy wearing a shirt and pants.

"They were always there… pushing me away with their magic wind…"

The glowing kids were all frowning at the man. He sighs, raising his eyebrows.

"They changed the event cards, so you'd never complete the game. How awful…"

"Wh-why they are as young as us?!" Grina looks at the man.

"They are weak to this type of magic… they still were able to push me around, though." He looks at each glowing kid.

"Except when you are possessing an item, like our hummer." Mirii taps the floor.

"And when I'm in this form." He slowly raises his knife. "Your guardian angels can only watch you all… as my knife will cut out all your necks."

All the kids raise their fists up, almost covering their faces: they all frowned.
