As a kid I always had a weak body, the doctors said that I would not live past my teens. That time my parents were devastated, I was a child back then, but remembering the crying faces of my parents I thought that it was something that I did wrong. And so to make sure that I'll never have to see them sad and crying, I made sure to hide the pain whenever my illness acts up. Sometimes it gets very hard, but I had to be strong to make sure they'll be happy.

I convinced my parents to enroll me to a normal school, they've insists that I should go homeschool for my health but I convinced them nonetheless. I told them I would like to be like other children, to be able to play with them, have lots of friends and enjoy life to the fullest, I told them with my biggest smile.

At first I felt I was treated like a fragile thing at my school, it was something I don't want to be treated as. It was hard trying to fit in with my health, can't get to worked out, can't hang out after school, but I've made the best of the time I can spend with the friends and classmates I had. After all life is about making bonds with others, and that's what I did for this limited time I have.

The time came when my disease has reached at some critical stage, my 'normal' life has shifted. I no longer went to school but spent most of my time at the hospital. It was sad that I have to leave my friends and teachers at school, but i was glad that they sometimes visit me at the hospital. Still though even at hospital I did my best to do i could to do with the time that keeps getting shorter and shorter.

I've met and befriended my fellow patients at the hospital, people that are in the same circumstance as I. I would often spend time with them visiting every room that I could, the nurses and doctors were very nice to let me have my way to befriend my fellow patients whenever I can. Spending time with them just talking and relaxing, just making sure to let them feel that they're not alone and to encourage them to live life to the fullest and never lose hope.

One day, my classmates came by to visit, they came to see my well being and have some fun at my room. We talk lots of things and played cards, It was fun. I thank the heavens for giving me such good friends. After getting tired with our silly plays, a close friend of mine showed me a trailer of a video game. It was a new game release of the final fantasy series a game that I've love since I was a child. Thank God it was already a complete game version when my friend showed it to me, they've just release the PC version, I don't know if I have enough time left if it was divided into some parts that i have to wait to play the complete version.

The game was... incredible! Although I agree to some online comments that there were large part that were rushed but, I've enjoyed it. The bonds of the prince and his bodygu-- friends, their brotherhood was something incredible. There were a lot of fun stuffs, the adventure was fantastic... the sad parts... were devastating, but it was something I'll treasure with this short life of mine.

...

I always knew my time was limited, I did the most of the best with this life. I made increadible bonds with my family and friends, and I thank them for doing their best to make me feel like a normal person. But alas, it seems my time has reached it's end, I'm still thankful that I've live long enough to reach my nineteen years of age, and now after saying my thanks and gratitude to my parents I layed my eyes on the poster of something I would have like to read. A poster of Final Fantasy XV Dawn of the Future, somehow deep in my heart I still wish and long to have the chance... a chance to at least read that ending, an ending I wished for the characters to live...for them to live ...happilly.

".....*sigh* I ..wish.... to ... see...m-oore..." A tear flows down my eyes as i breathed my last.

...

Gaia has long been watching this child eversince he was born. It was a child with such a pure soul but destined with the burden of short life. She have seen many children of her like this in her long time of existence, few have the exact same circumstances as this child. But it was only him that have never faltered in his pureness of soul, he have never cursed or blamed his short lived fate. He always tried to bring happiness to his fellow humans regardless of his conditions, he was someone she have enjoyed and lovingly watch in that short amount of time.

But it was in his last moment that have touched a string in her long life as the planet's conciouseness. Something she never thought she'd see in him, she felt his feeling of longing, a longing to see more of a story of the fate of her sisters children, a story of the many among the stories she have brought to her world. The fate of the children of her sister Eos that she had brought as an enterntainment is her world, a game nonetheless.

Hearing him utter his last words, and the feelings she have felt, for such a long time somehow brought tears to her eyes. Determination filled her eyes when she felt his pure soul depart from her world. She have seen other gods did the same for their own purposes, and now she will do the same for this child.

She pleaded the heavens to let her have this pure soul and grant his wish. The heavens have never heared Gaia asked for a favor even once, in fact she was free to do what she want to other souls in her world, but it was a law for the heavens to take back pure souls as this, back to heavens. But seing the resolutions in Gaia's eyes, for once... they'll grant this wish, along with something to help this pure soul in his journey.

...

I never thought death would have this comfortable feeling, I was for such a long time free of the pain from my disease. A heartwarming feeling I felt as I continued my sleep like state.

'Why does death feel like just sleeping? Huh?' I tried getting a grip of my situation.

*inhale* *exhale* 'Relax... afterlife or something should just be around the corner....*exhale* ---!!!' Hey why am I breathing when I'm dead? I'm supposed to be dead right? Why do I smell flowers and feel something soft and warm in my head!

I hurriedly opened my eyes after feeling the ridicolousness of this situation, and got up in a hurry.

"Ohh... You're awake at last my child."

An etherial-beautiful-motherly face and an angelic and holy voice welcome me as I look at the person---goddess? in front of me.

Somehow the sorrounding of field filled with lavanders and pure bliss of clear skies and the touch of the fresh brezze never came to my senses as my eyes keep glued on this goddess. I've seen some of the most beautiful celebrities in my life by joining charity works back when I was still alive but, this level of beauty is something definitely out of this world.

"fufufu *giggle* I thank you for thinking like that, but I'm afraid were short on time so let's get on with it" She cleared her throught when she saw me still looking dumbfounded at her.

OHH! She can read my mind! No!!! This can't be I need to redo my first impression.

"A-ahem! I-I'm sorry for s-staring... It's just ... I've never got to see someone as beautiful as miss..." I stared at the ground embarrased by my shameful sttutering.

She laughed for a while after hearing my reply, the longer I hear her laughter the redder my face gets. Then suddenly I felt a hand touched my face as the hand guided me to face her. The embassment somehow gone after feeling her touch and looking at her face that stared warmly at me.

"Rest easy my child. As I've said before, thank you for your wondeful thoughts. Now that you have calmed down, my name is Gaia and I'm here to grant you your first and final wish in your life." Her voice was clear as crystal, and hearing her say the words grant my wish, a tear fall the side of my face as though I have found my paradise.

.....

Before I knew it I was hugging the goddess beauty Gaia, and now I'm regretting my actions as I tried to find a reason to find my way out of this embarassing situation.

Seemingly reading my mind again, Gaia patted my head like a mother to a child as naturally as normal we parted our hug.

"Umm... I'm sorry...again... for my impulsiveness. Haha that was embarassing" I scratch the back of my head as I try to smoothen things out.

"So uhh... My wish huh? Did I really have one?" I was wondering what wish i did ask for, for all I know my life was pretty much fulfilled.

"I see...Hmm. You might not remember this, but it was your wish on your last breath." She suddenly pulled me close to her as her forehead move to touch mine. Seeing her face up close I help my breathe as my whole body felt stiff from this beatiful woman so close to me.

When her forehead touched mine, memories of me enjoying playing final fantasy xv was playing in my head. The fun times and the sad times forever engaved in my heart where linked their forever. The only regret was not finishing, or rather having the chance to read its last work, The Dawn of the Future.

"... I see" Before I knew it our foreheads were already apart and she was there standing waiting for me to remember. I was thankful for making me remember that last wish.

"Then can I read it here now?!" Enthusiasm filled my heart to have that chance fullfilled.

Gaia smiled at me but shakes her head. "I have a better offer. One I would also like you to accept, but should you refuse is fine too." Somehow i felt a feeling of sadness upon hearing her last part about refusing.

"Ohh okay. Then I would like to hear it please." I always don't like it when seeing other people being reluctant on me, so I smiled merrily at her. She smiled back with her ever present motherly smile that have warmed my heart multiple times now.

"Thank you for hearing me out. Then my offer is...for you to live in that world; the world of Eos, and fulfill what your heart wants."

No matter what kind of request I planned on accepting it. "Okay then, I accept! ---...W-wait wait! what do you mean live in Eos?! T-that's imposibble that was just a game, right!?"
