"My name is Selene! Not Malia!" Selene remembered as her memories return.

Tears fell as watched all the scenes surrounding her.

​​

Fragments of her memories being played simultaneously.

From her childhood to adulthood.

Collection of all her memories.

Seeing Alcyd's face and hearing his voice made her rush to the side where he kept saying.

"I love you more than this life of mine!"

"Shhh … Don't say that! You need to take care of yourself too or else I will be crushed to know you are suffering because of me." Selene replied to Alcyd while holding his face.

Together in the bed.

Skin to skin.

With their body wrapped to one another.

Sealing their moment with more kisses.

…

The scene changes time to time with other memories flooding in.

Reaching towards the transparent screen of her memories.

She realizes it was pointless to reach for something you cannot touch.

"Where am I?"

Confused …

And desperation sets in …

"Somebody heeelllppp me!!!"

"PLEEEAAASEEE!! I want to go back to his arms!"

Falling to her knees crying.

Because the return of her memories made her realized what she has done.

Aside from the evil and dark things she have done.

Breaking her promise towards Alcyd.

"I promised him … but I chose to leave his side." Selene held herself.

…

…

Time passed and a ball of light appeared in front of Selene.

Like a wisp, it floated in the air.

Trying to get Selene to follow it.

When Selene realized that the ball of light wanted her to follow the light.

She wiped her tears and began to recompose herself.

Following the light.

Curious and wondering to where the ball of light was leading her.

"Where are we going? Where am I?" Selene asked while she continued walking along the lead of the wisp-like creature.

At last …

They reached somewhere …

To a bright portal.

"You want me to go in there?"

The ball of light formed into a word, -YES!-

Selene was hesitant and reluctant at first but there was no other choice.

It was either stay and be reminded of her mistakes or do something and return to her normal life.

As she has decided, Selene walked towards the portal and entered.

Soon as she walked through the portal.

A new sight to behold registered to her eyes.

There was a huge garden.

Full of flowers everywhere.

And there was one lady watering some flowers nearby.

"Hi there! Can I ask for your help? Where am I? I need to go back home … and I do not recognize this place. I am kind of lost … you see!" Selene sought help from the lady in front of her.

The lady in front of her was someone familiar to Selene.

Her platinum long hair …

Her flawless skin …

And goddess-like features …

Selene was star-struck at the sight of her.

Remembering her previous dream.

"I have met you already before! In my dreams, warning me about something … To choose both, blood and heart." Selene reiterated the words from her dream.

--The heart and blood are both important. You cannot sacrifice the other. In order to keep your own, both must be protected and kept.—

After repeating the same words told to her in her dream.

The lady turned to Selene.

And greeted her.

"Finally, you have decided to return to those whom you love. But your path for return has been closed already my dear. We are now here … to wait for God's verdict for your eternal fate."

Selene could not believe that there was no way for her to go back.

Back to Alcyd's arms.

And fulfill her promise to stay by his side.

"NO!! That can't be … There should be a way! I am not yet ready! I want to go back to him … to Alcyd." Selene begged the lady.

From a distance a huge wolf growled at the words uttered by Selene.

Moving away from her.

Irritated at hearing her desperate pleas.

"I am sorry, my dear! Even I want to … the path for return has been closed."

Upon hearing that she could no longer return.

Tears fell …

Desperation becomes more intense than ever.

Looking around if there could be another portal or something she could enter into.

Alas! There was nothing …

"If you are looking for the bright portal … you will not see one! As I said, God closed the path for your return."

"I cannot let it end like this! I cannot leave them … They need me … I have to rectify all my mistakes. I CANNOT GO LIKE THIS!" Covering her face in tears.

Selene continued expressing her regrets and her plans to rectify everything she has done so far.

"So … you realize the danger and harms of resorting to darkness. Am I right?"

"Yes! I was foolish to think that more power can resolve all my problems and make the world that I wanted. I have not realized until now … that nothing comes good in resorting to darkness."

Selene cried and cried at the thought that she has died.

"Why is it always too late? When I thought things would be okay … then I get to suffer once more. Why do I have to keep suffering? I grew up without knowing my own parents! My brother leaving me on my own! Losing my second mother!"

She continued,

"Then my mate … being a son of the man who killed my parents. Why am I filled with so much misery? I never asked for all these things to happen. Life is really cruel to me!"

Feeling bad for Selene, the lady tried to comfort Selene.

A whimper from a wolf nearby could be heard as well.

"Well … God just wants us to be stronger and hopeful to his miracles … Because our life is full of tests."

Ending her words with … "Just like now!"
