The pain that we feel uncovers the mist.

It brings about feelings of newfound bliss in bliss we find courage.

To dig deeper into what really is pain is a gift.

Time: An hour later

_____

I gasp.

Looking around immediately, I find myself lying on a flowerbed.

There are so many kind of flowers around me.

Touching my neck when i feel a sting, i got up on both feet and grabbed my stuff that's on the floor.

I had no idea what stung me but there's some blood when I look at my hand.

"H-Hello?"

No one is around.

Checking my phone, I realise that it showed no service.

The time.

It wasn't even moving when I stared at it for a minute.

I timed it with the stopwatch function in the phone.

"Watch out!"

While I was walking backwards on my feet, looking up at the trees to only see that I couldn't see the sky.

A voice yelled at me.

Stumbling, I end up falling on my butt as I winced.

"Thank God."

Where did that voice even came from?!

"Who are you!"

I scoot aside to lean my back on the tree trunk but yelped when a pair of arms were wrapped around my waist.

Looking back, I came face to face with an elf fairy?!

I'm astonish by him.

You could say is because of his look.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Sorry for scaring you. The Queen told me to make sure you are alright until you wake up."

Moving away, he let go of me and I just hugged my bag.

You gotta be kidding me.

"Am I in the elf fairy's realm now?"

"Yes, you are. You came in suddenly."

What?

"B-But how? I was going back to the school from Haward."

Technically speaking, I whisper to myself for that and look when I heard birds chirping.

It's definitely a forest but it's too beautiful actually.

And I do know that elf fairy don't actually stays in the same world with us.

Their world isn't a place where other people could access.

"You didn't request to see the Queen?"

"No, why would I? I'm just a mundane."

I answer him and he stood up straight, face written with realisation.

"You are Hazel aren't you?"

"You know me?"

And he flashed me a smile.

"I'm Marcus. It's my pleasure to meet you."

Instead of a hand shake, he actually placed a hand on his chest before giving me a gentleman bow.
