It's natural for Ana to think that everything that happened was just a dream. It's been more than a month since the incident happened, Ana always visited the mysterious road but nothing happened.
"Am I really just dreaming?" muttered Ana in a daze.
The girl is sitting in the garden enjoying tea and snacks in the afternoon. Her eyes looked towards the mysterious path that had not appeared since that incident.
"But it's too real to be called a dream!" Ana muttered again in a tone that only she could hear.
She made all her maidservants leave herself. She needed time to think about all the strange things that had happened.
When Ana thought about the mysterious road again, an idea crossed her mind. This castle is an old castle with an unknown age, it's possible that the mysterious path is a relic of the previous generation.
After getting that thought, Ana started to act. The little girl began to often immerse herself in the library belonging to the Orde family and read all the books there.
Time passed steadily and finally a few years had passed. Ana and Peter have not seen each other since then.
###
5 years later.
"Ahh...I almost read all the books here, but I didn't find anything!"
A voice sounded with a tone full of complaints. A young girl holds a book with a black cover and closes it in annoyance.
That young girl is Ana Silver Orde. She had grown into a beautiful and charming young girl. Now 15 years old, next month is Ana's birthday and she is going to the capital for her high society debut.
The girl is very diligent in visiting the library belonging to the Orde family and she does most of her daily life by confining herself in the library.
"It's been five years, I never saw that mysterious road again and I didn't meet the boy again, he must have grown into a handsome boy." said Ana sighed.
It's not that Ana didn't try to get to the forest by normal paths, she had tried but she couldn't find the tree she marked that time, Ana didn't dare to go too deep into the forest and also she couldn't tell the people around her.
Ana still hopes for a miracle, she knows that the location of the forest where she appears is quite far in the forest. She couldn't think that it was a childhood dream but it was too real for her to forget and she only remembered as a dream.
"Should I give up now?" said Ana sadly.
She had searched and kept searching, almost all the books in this library she had read but there was no clue as to the mysterious path, how to use it or the reason it suddenly and mysteriously activated and took her to the same forest twice.
Why? Why when she didn't expect to meet the boy instead she was suddenly taken away by the mysterious road and arrived in the forest, then met the boy again.
It's been five years and Ana doesn't know how the boy named Peter is doing, Ana doesn't know the boy's origins, she only knows his name.
Their last farewell was really unpleasant, she suddenly disappeared just as she had promised Peter to wait for him.
Ana put the book she was holding on the table and walked towards the library window.
"What is Peter doing right now huh?" muttered Ana looking out the window.

While by Peter's side, the boy also grew into a charming handsome boy, as well as his pure white and strong-looking wolf form.
After they parted that day, Peter came back and saw the bad man tied to a nearby tree and he became confused as to who did it, he became curious and started to interrogate the bad man.
#Flash back#
"Hey...who tied you to the tree?" asked Peter with a look of interest.
The man was silent, his mind blank. He didn't even notice that Peter had returned and was talking to him.
Peter frowned then approached the man, he saw a blank and frightened look in those eyes, seeing that Peter was getting more confused.
"Hey..." Peter said waving his hand in the bad guy's face.
"Hey..." again Peter said hey with his hand waving in the bad guy's face.
"Hey!!" shouted Peter finally impatient because there was no response from the man who was still alive but seemed dead.
The evil man flinched, then he came back to reality. He was really scared and shocked to see the two beings from the forbidden area use the long lost ancient magic 'Teleport'.
The evil man looked at Peter in confused face because he didn't seem to be fully awake yet.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Peter irritably.
The evil man finally fully regained his senses and he looked left and right as if searching for something.
"What are you looking for? Your friend?" asked Peter coldly.
Peter thought that this man had another friend who had come to save him and was waiting for the right moment to ambush Peter when approaching the bad guy who they used as bait, well... kind of a cliché plan that sneaky people often do.
"Hah?" asked the evil man still confused.
tsk!
Peter snorted in annoyance, then spoke again in a tone that grew colder as if he could freeze the world.
"What are you looking for? Don't tell me you have some other sinister plan? Well...call them out, I'll make sure to kill them all." said Peter with a bloodthirsty pressure.
The evil man shuddered in horror, then he stuttered out, "n...no!"
Peter glanced at the evil man, his face filled with suspicion.
The evil man felt short of breath and scared to see the cold glance given by the boy in front of him. He was sure this boy had a secret and that was the reason why the beings from the forbidden area were looking for him.
"Did...Did you...didn't see anyone else on your way here?" asked the evil man carefully.
"What nonsense..."
Before Peter could finish his cursing, the man cut him off hastily.
"No..I'm not talking nonsense. They...they...they are looking for you!!" shouted the man again in despair.
Peter looked at the man inquiringly, his face was very cold and he looked a little angry, probably because this evil man in front of him dared to cut him off.
For some reason, after all that had happened, Peter felt so strong, so strong that he could kill this man if he wanted to, very different from the previous Peter who was beaten by those bad guys.
Well...Peter was very confident in his abilities, especially if it was only one on one, no... even if the same situation were to repeat itself, he would not let his guard down again, Peter was determined to become stronger, let alone the golden light that could not explained it is still a mystery.
Peter wasn't sure if it was his power or something else, it was clear that the golden light had saved him and of course he won't forget Ana's cry for help that made the golden light shine.
The two possibilities that Peter concludes are, that the golden light is his mysterious power or the golden light is Ana's mysterious power.
While he was thinking all this, Peter did not know that he would never see the little girl who had suddenly disappeared again.
