The Atlantean Compensator 16 My Life Until Now

'Guiado disappears, Herald went back to his bed, and hugged Muruem tightly..'

'He was feeling relieved that he got done with the decision finally.

But still, curious about what's the next journey of his life going to be like...

What kind of place the a.s.sociation is in?

Why it was never known or heard of before?

What does it even serve?

Are there other Atlantean a.s.sociations?

What kind of people will be there with him?'

'Questions like these were raised in Herald's mind, but he was more curious than feareful.

He truly accepted his fate.'

'Muruem not so much after, woke up.

She had work, although she really doesn't want to go or do anything. Her mood is at its lowest.

Herald sensed her movement and woke up as well,

Both eyes looked right through each other...'

'Muruem could no more tell what is behind her lover's eyes.

Herald on the other hand, knows how she feels. Fearing that their relations.h.i.+p would be lost as the dream he had showed made him appreciate her more.'

So he said. "Good morning my queen. You look prettier today!"

Muruem, smiling. "Is that so? That would make you feel worse about leaving for 3 months then."

Herald. "That's true, but there's a bright side to it.

After 3 months you'll get so much prettier and when i'll come back i'll be amazed."

Muruem laughs a little, then says "...So it is decided? You're going? "

Herald. doesnt take his eyes away from hers "Yes honey. It is the best decision."

Muruem stayed silent then replied. "I understand...

I really hope it is."

*...Very far away from where Herald and Muruem are having this conversation.*

'In a dark, dark vast room. filled with books all over it's walls.

Guiado is talking to a mysterious man hidden in the dark.'

Guiado. "I succeeded, Head Master. Herald will be coming to the academy starting from tomorrow morning."

*A very intimidating and strong, yet peaceful and smooth voice came out from the dark

It was the sound of the HeadMaster.*

"Great news, was it any difficult to convince him?"

Guiado. "A bit, i had to transport into his dreams to show him that declining will lead to an alternative fate line that he wouldn't accept, It is quite tiring to manipulate dreams of Atlanteans so.."

The HeadMaster. "Hmmm, take rest for the rest of the day my son.

I a.s.sume that the whole team is gathered by this point, right?"

Guiado. "Yes master. All 7 will be brought in here tomorrow morning."

... "G.o.d willing, your efforts are very much appreciated and needed Guiado."

Guiado. "It is my duty.

Excuse me now..."

"Guiado disappears again,

The mysterious man crossed his fingers and said."

"Seems like Judgement Day will be sooner than tomorrow..."

*Back to our couple.*

'Muruem, prepared herself and is ready to go for her job.'

"I cannot stay with you today even if i really want to, it will hurt me more..

So i'll spend the next few days with my parents."

'Herald gave her a look of being understanding and both then hugged for soo long, for about 5minutes, with no words said.

Until Herald told Muruem that he loves her a lot and kissed her a very sweet and pa.s.sionate kiss.'

"Be a good woman, and never get yourself into trouble."

Muruem. "Don't worry, do the same and remember that you'll be always in my mind.

Goodbye Herald."

Herald. "It is no Goodbye,

I ain't dying, hopefully."

Muruem. "You better not.."

'And so she left...

Herald felt really sad the moment she closed out the door. He knows that even his life is in more danger than ever, and he hates that he'll have to worry about her as well that she'll be left alone for most of the next 3months..'

'The decision was made and he cannot have any more regrets, he arranged all his stuff, cleaned the house to atleast help Muruem with everything he can. Prepared a bag in which he only took few clothes, his pen, diary and sketch book.'

'For the rest of the day, he called each one of his gang and asked them where they are, and went and met with them all. First is Yussein, who supported Herald's upcoming trip and was really happy for him, then Aylal and Zeko who were already out together. then Iscariot who was sad he won't see his loved little brother for a while now... And so on..'

'The only ones he couldn't meet were Merry and Oumad.'

Herald in fact, did not tell Oumad anything about the decision until their call...'

Oumad. "..Sorry brother i cannot meet you today, is there a specefic reason?"

Herald. "Yes, i wanted to tell you that i am going to The Atlantean's Academy tomorrow..."

Oumad. "...I never heard about it!!"

Herald. "I am surprised you never did, you've been awakened way before i am and Guiado told me before you? "

Oumad. "So it was Guiado!

For how long are you staying there?"

Herald. "He said 3months..."

Oumad. "I see, i wish i could meet you but i really cannot. Take good care of yourself!

I will certainly talk to Guiado about this and i'll find a way to contact you wherever you are."

Herald. "Alright brother. i will miss you"

Oumad. "Me more."

Herald hung up the phone and thought to himself..

"..It is weird, the pace of events that i am living. Even Oumad hasn't been offered to go to the academy..

*Herald smirks*

I guess I am some kind of a special power that they're needing more, although i find his powers to be way better than mine, he can see much more in the future than I.

Anyways, it is what it is...

Herald in that same night, wrote the last chapter of his Novel.

Ironically enough, the novel he was writing was to be called.

"My Life Until Now"

It was only fitting, to have it called such name.

Herald knows that his life is going to change drastically from this night moving forwards...'
