Aaron's POV

How long has it been since then? Five years? Six years? I can't remember. All I have is bittersweet memories of my past and the ache in my chest that had not receded even after all those years.

Many people were jealous about me, having the best parents, having the best childhood, having a lot of love from others, but......that was just me when I was a kid before 10. Ever since 12 years old, my life changed.

My name is Aaron Eosphoros, both have the meaning of light which one is in the English name with the meaning of light while the other, that is the Greek name with the meaning of light. I still remembered asking my mum about the reason why I was called by this name, but......

"Aaron, do not fret about why you were called this. Just know that your father and I love you." My mother smiled at me and gently kissed my hand and wrapped me in a tight hug while I was mumbling and grumbling about her gesture, wondering why was she so affectionate towards me.

I did not learn about the meaning of my name even if I pressured my mum to tell me, sometimes wondering what was the reason that she never tell me the meaning of my name. I still remembered when I first stepped outside into the real world as a 12-years-old, still new about the environment and still learning to survive but inside my heart, was still fragile. I still remember those times when I joined into Xurenth, still remember all my missions, still remember the times I met my new friends and didn't kill them, still remember how I was locked up in the dungeons for it, still remember how I was broken out from the dungeons, still remember Allen fighting the other members and yelled at me to run, still remember........still remember........

But dreams were just dreams and reality were just reality. Those dreams that I used to have, about me being happy with my new friends and my family were gone just like small dust particles in the wind, unable to get back, unable to piece back together, an impossible dream. I used to always stand next to the windowsill, looking out into the outside world as well, thinking back on my memories and how it would have changed if I had not done all of the actions.

But.....

Memories overlap memories, dreams overlap dreams, memories overlap reality, dreams overlap reality and in the end, I didn't know if I was dreaming or awake, or just in between. But I didn't know there was one thing that changed everything, one change that showed that I was in a reality and not a dream. One secret that made me question the person I was and still am.

One single secret.

Hey guys, sorry for the last minute change for Chapter 1 and I am happy to say, this ends up really well and finally fits the plot that I had planned for so long. I am so scratching my itch of writing this book after not writing this parts for so long so I'm really happy about how it turns out. I can't wait for the next episode and I think some of you guys are having that feeling too. I hope to see you in the next chapter and please don't kill me if I can't update for so long as I still have my uni life and that life is killing me right now due to the closeness of the due date for my assignments. See you guys next chapter. Bye!
