Always (Claude De Alger Obelia)

Twenty Four

How long has it been?

It's been three years ever since Diana came back as the blessing of the Goddess given in the empire. It's also been three long years torture for certain head of the holy knight.

"gasp!"

The certain heterochromia eyes snap wide open as Theodore woke up

Looking down to his own hands, the man was crying in his sleep once again.

"Nngh"

He cried, burying his face into the palm of his hand

For the past three years ever since he snap out off something right in front of the world tree all alome crying. He had never felt peace. All he felt was confusion, longing and broken.

He doesn't know what he lost. But whatever is it, it's breaking him that he'll rather die.

So he made up his mind, brush away his never ending tears, change his clothes, wrapping the blindfold in his hand that was only thing that is keeping his sanity and went to where it all started.

The world tree.

But then, upon arriving in there.

"What are you doing here?"

They both spoke at the same time

"Well young man, I was the first one to ask"

The Lady in white long dress, a short black hair and purple iris was straight at him

Yet all he could do was to stare at her in suspicion

"I have something I need to ask"

He stated after a good couple of moments

"I don't know why I'm doing this"

He added

"But I always feel like you took something important to me"

His heart was aching, for the past few years he always felt like crying, it was to the point like where he doesn't even know why he exist. And he didn't even feel that bad when he lost his family.

"Give it back"

The woman could only look at him with amusement, letting him continue to speak his heart.

A silent tear roll down his cheeks

He didn't even know why he was crying.

"Please give it back"

He was no fool to realize who was this person right in front of him

"Do you know what you're asking for?"

"Please give it back, it hurts"
