"Monkey!"


    "So this is where you went." Iris rushed to get the white monkey.


    "Iris."


    Iris turned around and realize that everyone was looking at her. Particrly someone who was releasing a murderous aura directly at her. That sinister smile somewhat sent chills to her.


    "I need to check something on the yard!" Nichs said.


    "Ah right, I need to get ready our food for dinner now." Rein said as he started to walk away.


    "I''ll help Rein too." Dorris rushed to follow Rein and Elred, he walked away without saying anything.


    ''All of them left, more like they escape...'' Iris said cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Then she wryly smiled at Mya.


    "Hi!" She scratched her head looking apologetic to Mya. "Monkey just suddenly ran off like that. Did something happen?"


    "Nothing in particr." Mya sighed. "Your monkey just almost ruined the naming ceremony of my ship."


    "But I heard that its already fine." Iris said with all smiles on her face. "Ah but I do feel bad since I''m the owner of monkey, I need to take responsible for all this mess."


    Mya gave her a suspicious stare. "Why do you reallye back?" Mya said.


    "Well. Hahaha. It seems you got me." Iris tried to avoid Mya''s questioning gaze. "The thing is..."


    "The thing is?" Mya asked patiently.


    "I''m already a wanted criminal here in Hacien and it seems even in Aravan, authorities were looking for me, so..."


    Mya gave her an understanding smile. "Ah, I see..." She cut off Iris'' words.


    "You coulde with us, dear author, if that''s what you want."


    "Reall-I mean, of course, haha, you should have me in your group, since I basically wrote everything. My knowledge is very useful to any of you."


    ''Seriously, what''s with the does anything follows the script anymore statement from before. But I guess this is not a bad thing. I do want her to join me. But does she need to be sassy about it? Hah. I guess the author was a bit the tsundere type.''


    "Very well," Mya said with a smile then she extended her right hand to Iris. "Wee aboard, dear author."


    Iris returned the gesture and ept Mya''s handshake. "Great."


    Then both of them turned to the ship.


    "So its name is Bituins, hahaha so very like you. Lame." Iris said which made Mya frown.


    "Hah. Well since you ept our allegiance, you are now stuck with thisme one." Mya said, her smile was a bit strained.


    "Then be grateful that I''m here. As a writer, I need to make sure that everything would be as exciting as possible as it..."


    Iris paused, no, not only her. But everything fell to a standstill as they look at the view unfolding in front of them.


    Behind the ship, the skies were already starting to change in the colors of orange and blue. Birds that wereing back from the hunt within the calm waters of the sea could be seen as well.


    And the frequent sound of the waves, rocking forth to the fiord, only added more to the mesmerizing scene in front of them. The ray of the setting sun cast a warm and looming shadow over the ship. It was like it was covering it with a nket to give warmth to its cold heart.


    The day has once again ended. But it felt like, something new would soon arrive. A new nk chapter full of uncertainties was now beingid out to be written with unknown stories yet toe. Mya clutched her chest, breathing the cold and refreshing breeze of the air. How she could wish that this scene wouldst forever.


    ''So many things happened and the future is full of uncertainties. I do hope this warm moment could stay forever. But I guess all I could do is to absorb it in my memories.''


    "Mya," Iris called softly.


    "The truth is, I want to restart everything again."


    "You mean, you''re still going to destroy the world then restart?" Mya took a few steps away from Iris.


    "Not that idiot." Iris sighed. "For the second time again..."


    <em>''It''s not toote for you to change.''</em> Baru''s smiling face before he died shed to her mind. "I want to relive my life once again for real this time and live without regretting anything anymore. And I got the feeling, that if I go with you, I could have that life."


    "Is that one of your author''s instincts?"


    "No, this is what I''m feeling as a normal person would feel this time."


    "A normal person..." those words left some bitter taste in Mya''s mouth. She put both her hands in the pocket of her robes. Since she reincarnated here, being a normal person became too far for her.


    But what would a normal person be like when both she and Iris are reincarnators? From that, one couldn''t be considered normal when they got their past lives intact to them right?


    "I see..." Mya smiled. "Them I hope we could all achieve whatever it is we want to achieve."

    Extra Scene:


    "Ouch."


    When they finally reach the cooking area, Rein suddenly halted his footsteps which made Dorris bump to Rein''s lean back.


    "What is it?" Dorris said as she rubbed her head.


    "There''s a ck cat eating." Rein pointed which made Dorris look ahead. There was indeed a ck cat! And it was nibbling on the fish.


    The ck cat felt their presence. "What are you looking at?" Its voice was cold and its red ruby eyes were familiar to them.


    "A talking cat?!" Both Rein and Dorris eximed.


    "Who are you calling a cat? Do you want to be killed?" The cat seemed to realize something at that moment. "What happened to me?! I became a cat!" The cat passed out from shock at whatever had happened to him.


    Rein and Dorris exchanged confused nces at each other.


    "That familiar voice from the cat..."


    "Howe?" Dorris'' simultaneously asked.


    "I shall report this to Mdy." Rein said as he scooped the unconscious cat in his arms. "You could prepare now the ingredients for now until I return."


    Rein started to stride away. "Wait, Rein!"


    Rein paused as he nced back to Dorris. "What is it?"


    Dorris nced sideways, a bit hesitant whether to speak or not. She just shook her head. "What are we having for dinner so I could prepare the right ingredients."


    "You could decide on what''s avable there. I''ll help outter." Rein simply started to walk again but before he couldpletely go away.


    "Dorris, I did say that I didn''t trust you." Rein paused for a bit, "but whatever that happened before, I knew you wanted none of those things, I will still be with you, as your friend. But if you hurt Lady Mya once again, I don''t think I could give you a chance a second time around."


    The wind blew, fluttering Dorris'' hair and the hem of her clothes. "Rein." She mumbled softly.


    "Both I and Lady Mya, wish for your happiness." Rein continued walking. "So don''t worry yourself anymore in such trivial things that we hated you. Let''s restart again, alright?"


    A single tear fell from Dorris'' eyes.


    "Yes!" She screamed happily in reply. Her heart was filled with so much warmth. Then Dorris went on preparing the supplies needed.


    Life is full of uncertainties and ups and downs, but how you live it, sometimes is up to you to decide whether it will be a sad or happy one.
