Kai and Hela turned back to see a woman in her twenties smiling at them.

Their eyes widened when they took in the woman's appearance. It was one that both of them had seen many times.

They were so familiar with it that they could probably tell it from memory. The woman kept smiling as she moved forward.

She had light brown hair that came down to her waist in straight braids. Her eyes were ocean blue and looked as though they were shining in the light.

"Aizza." Kai and Hela both whispered at the same time as Aizza smiled and nodded.

"Of course it's me guys. What took you so long to find me?" Aizza asked while crossing her arms as Kai and Hela kept staring at her as though she would vanish any second.magic

"I think you guys are having a hard time believing that I am real. Here, let me touch you, and then you can see whether I am real or not." Aizza said while sighing as she moved forward and touched Kai and Hela's arms with her hands.A warm feeling of happiness spread over both of them and they felt as though they were both safe from any danger.

"It really is you Aizza. No one can soothe my mind and emotions like you can do." Hela said with a smile as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"Do you want me to try it? I might come off being better at it than Aizza." Kai said as Hela and Aizza both chuckled together.

"But what are you doing here Aizza?" Hela asked as Aizza suddenly went silent.

"This place is what I have become now." Aizza slowly replied as both Kai and Hela looked confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Kai asked as Aizza sighed before she turned to look at the city in the distance.

"When my soul first detached from your soul Kai, I had no idea where I would be going. For some reason, this place kept coming to my mind. And the next thing I knew, I was waking on a hill in this place. I had no idea how I came here or who I even was. It was as though my memories of my previous life had been wiped clean." Aizza slowly began saying as she kept staring at the city in the distance.

"This place had about a hundred or so spirits then but all of them were slowly dying from either starvation or thirst. This place after all didn't have any food or water source. When I saw those spirits like this, I felt that I needed to change it. And no sooner I had thought of changing things, fruit trees and lakes suddenly started popping everywhere.

It was as though the realm was responding to what I thought. I didn't understand how that was possible but I felt happy that the spirits here would no longer die. But one thing that I didn't know was about myself. I didn't know who I was, what my name was, or where I was. If not for the fact that I was surrounded with other spirits, I would have already gone mad by then." Aizza said while chuckling as she sighed and continued speaking.

"I didn't realize how quickly time was passing by. The spirits who were struggling to survive without food and water were now doing major civil advances. They started creating huts, rules and laws, job posts, and many other things. I probably shouldn't have known what those things meant yet I had perfectly understood them.

I was still curious to know about my identity but as time slowly passed by, my interest started to die down. I was instead focused on seeing how the spirits would further develop. But while watching them, my eye caught an interesting pair. It was a love triangle." Aizza said with a small smile as she turned around and gestured for Kai and Hela to follow her.

"The triangle included one boy and two girls where one of the girls liked the boy who liked the other girl who liked the first girl. I never really understood how love triangles really worked but when I was seeing them, I was interested in seeing how it would develop. It was honestly pretty funny to see each of them being clueless about the other's feelings.

They grew from being teenagers to becoming adults and none of them knew about the other's feelings then too. But everything changed when the first girl decided to confess her feelings to the boy. And guess what? He accepted them." Aizza said and went silent as Hela and Kai exchanged a glance.

They had been listening to Aizza's tale for quite a while and they still hadn't figured out the reason she had been telling them about this.

But despite that, they quietly followed her as all three of them suddenly appeared on a hill, and below the hill were the ruins of what looked like a city.

"They used to live here but people moved away from here to the city we saw before. Can you guess why the boy accepted her feelings despite never having any feelings for her?" Aizza suddenly asked while peering down at the ruins of the city.

"Because he was afraid of living his entire life alone." Kai slowly said as he realized why Aizza had been telling them this story.

"Yes, Kai, he was afraid of being alone till the time he would die. His exact words to the woman were 'I don't love you neither do I ah any feelings of attraction towards you. Yet, I have heard that time changes things. I am not sure whether things would work out or not but I am not afraid of waiting to see how things would progress. The only thing I am afraid of is being alone.' Those were his exact words." Aizza finished and the entire place went silent.

"Aizza, what happened to the other woman?" Hela then asked as she broke the silence.

"She died alone without ever telling anyone about her feelings." Aizza replied as the silence took over once again.

And this time, it lasted for a long time.
