"Goddess... Uhmm Goddess Eine wakes up... Goddess Eine we have to go its near dawn" 

I'm now awakened by Sai, my follower. It's time to make the move. It's time to get inside my palace and go to the Candle room. I just hope that everything will go smoothly as planned.

We are now preparing and just waiting for the guards to change shifts. It's kinda hard moving with my long royal white dress so I cutted its ends and it became short. I cut them until they reached my knees so I could walk or run more comfortably.

---

It's time, the plan needs to be done. 

I ran into a wall near the entrance as Sai confronted the guards. I took that opportunity to get inside the palace. 

"Is someone there?" I heard a guard that may have spotted me so I ran quietly and hid. 

As the guard became sightless I carefully went out of my hiding spot and carefully found my way through the hall to the Candle room.

I have been successfully sneaking through the palace until in one of the rooms I guess the library I heard people talking. I stopped and listened to their conversation as they may know something.

"Any idea where she may be?" Says a man with a very low voice.

"Maybe with a follower of her Sir. That is our 1st choice" answered a lady.

"How about her Father? 

"He went back to his place full of hatred, pain, and misery" 

"The son?" 

I didn't even have a chance to hear what they were saying about my Brother as I heard some steps getting near so I had to hide before they saw me.

Finally I'm at the Candle room but even though I'm already here and I know that no one will come in all of a sudden I somehow can't get out of my head the people talking a while ago at the library.

Who are they? What do they want with my family? 

*Sigh* 

I have to focus on the candles right now. I'll have to deal with the conversation later on. 

"Now where might be the candle of my Mother"  I say as I look at every candle.

I wave my arms like I'm dancing and the candle's follow the flow of my hands. Hmmm somehow I can't find my Mother's candle.

"Where would it be?" I asked myself. I stopped waving my hands as the candles stopped as well. I looked around observing the place and I saw some trail of a melted candle. 

"What is happening?" I'm really getting confused and a lot of questions are popping in my mind. 

I rushed back to my spot and started waving my hands again and looked for my Brother.

"There" I said as I found his candle.

"What are you doing with the humans?" He is in the human world... But why?

I was about to look for other clues but then I heard a man shouting outside the door and is ordering someone to open it.

I GOTTA HIDE!

"Why are these candles floating in the air? Has someone got in here?" In my spot I can't somehow see who is the one speaking but I know that he is the voice looking for me and my family at the library. 

He might be the one behind all of this... I wanna look and see who it is but I can't. I have to stop myself because if I get caught I wouldn't be able to go find my brother and ask what he knows.

I heard their footsteps getting lower until I heard the door closing. Before I finally went out of my hiding spot I looked around.

"I gotta get out of here. '' As I went I took my brother's candle so that they wouldn't not be able to find my brother.

"UGH. The door won't budge" Somehow I think they closed the door. There is no more exit on this place except this door.

I guess I have no choice. Before I do my magic I put my ear at the door itself to hear if there are people outside but I can hear none so I put my hands on the doorknobs keyhole and melted its lock. Yes I have the ability of heat which you can refer to fire. 

I hurriedly went back to Sai's home and I arrived in a destroyed house.

"WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!?!?" I ran towards the broken house looking for Sai and there I found her critically injured under a pile of broken woods and metals.

"SAI! What happened here?!?! Who did this to you?!?!" I am kinda panicking right now as I don't know what shall I do. I did not think that this might happen.

"G-Goddess Eine... P... P-Please leave now before they find y--" 

"SAI?!? SAI?!?!" I can't understand everything that is happening. Who are the one's I heard at the library? What happened to my Mother? And why is my Brother in the world of humans?

Once more this is setting and I have to get out of here as I have no place to go hide. I don't wanna leave Sai's corpse but I have no choice.

"May us the Gods and Goddesses bless you Sai. Thank you" 

As I left Sai's corpse I rushed out of my place and went to my Father's place to see what he was doing. I know that they will not let me in too but here I do know a way where I used to be when I was a kid.

I have a glimpse of my father's room and I can see him crying... It's very unusual for my father to cry. I don't really understand how emotions drive oneself to act.

I went straight to the gateway to the human world to find my brother. I am kinda nervous as the gatekeepers may not let through.

"Goddess Eine. What brings you here to the gateway?" An old gate keeper said. I took a deep breath before answering.

"I needed to go to the human world to find my brother"

"Ahhh yes he went here yesterday with a woman" He replied. 

A woman? Who was the woman with my brother?

"Pardon?" I ask confuzely.

"Well pardon my Goddess but I didn't see the woman's face I may rather may thought it was a woman too as I am old and nor sure of things as I see" He explains.

"The gate is open My Goddess" A young keeper stopped me from asking another question. I am also running out of time. Of the people after my family saw me here they may follow me to the human world too.

I was about to go through the gate but I looked behind and said "Take care Father I will be back".
