Mikael, wake up.

The future has already changed.

You're alive.

You must wake up..... They are waiting for you.

<Mikael POV>

It feels like I dreamt a long dream.

I wake up in a place that I didn't know. The first thing I saw was a ceiling that had a pure white color..... This is not the Awakening, right?

"I didn't remember that I have a ceiling with a color of white. "

I tried to move, but my body was stiff. I'm shocked that I couldn't shift my body, I remembered that I and Niña were tired but I think it was not enough for me to have a cemented body. I feel like I sleep for a decade.

"Haha as if"

I forced to move my head and I saw the surrounding. I couldn't recognize this room. Where am I?

One thing that shocked me was...

"Why there are tubes and wires on my body!?"

I see hospital equipment besides my bed... What's going on!? Did I get sick?

" Maybe Someone kidnapped me...no. it's impossible, no one's in their right mind will try to kidnap me, especially if I'm in the Redemption Guild. "

I recalled that I sleep in the Headquarter. It's on the island in the middle of the ocean. You could only use boats and planes to get there. No one could abduct me, added that the building had high security.

"If there's someone who tries to enter my room, I can easily sense it... Although Niña is different, I can't detect her. She's practically invisible."

I'm 237 now, my heightened senses could determine any changes in the area.

"Seriously, where this place? Yesterday I'm with Niña..."

I remember her lovely and sexy- ehem! It's not the time to reminisce! I need to find where I am!

I could move my fingers now... It seemed that I need to wait to fully move.

"I think around 2 hours, I can move again. "

My muscles and joints started to contract and soften. My strength was returning.

Perhaps someone injected a drug into my body?

I'll wait until I can move.

After some time, at last, I could move again. I took out the tube and pads that were attached to me.

I stood and survey the room. I'm right, I didn't recognize this place.

"I'm not sure if we have this kind of room. Kyle has a good aesthetic and he will not choose this kind of gloomy atmosphere. "

Maybe I'm in a Hospital? That could explain why there's hospital equipment.

"But why am I here? I'm confident that I never get sick. My body is almost immune to any disease."

I open the door and realized that my deduction was right...

"Yes... I'm in Hospital."

In a walkway where there's a row of chairs on the side, I see nurses wearing white uniforms.

Patients that were walking while some were using a wheelchair. It's the common thing that you'll inside the Hospital.....

"Si- sir! You- you wake up!?"

A nurse looked at me, her eyes widened... I didn't know why she was having that reaction. Is it bad that I woke up? Is there a problem with it? Should I stay sleeping?

"Ah, yes I'm awake?"

"Doc! Doc! Someone call the doctor! Patient Tibano is now awake!! Sir, could you please return to your room. A doctor will visit you to examine your condition."

The nurse urged me to return. My mind was blank and I think I'm oblivious about this. Did I really get sick?

I remember that I'm healthy.

What happened?

A doctor faced me after he finished his examination. He determined that there was no wrong with my body.

"Mikael Tibano, I'm going, to be honest.  You're six years comatose. You sleep for around six years and five months. This hospital took you three years ago, your brother pays your bills so you don't have to be afraid. For now, you can-"

"W- what the f*ck are you talking about!? Comatose, coma? That coma? Six years!?"

I reached his collar and lift him, I didn't want to hear that kind of bullsh*t! My mind tried to process what he said but I couldn't accept it.

"Doctor, it's not a good joke. If you ever say it again I will crack your head. "

"W- Wait! Release me, I know that you're confused but I can prove it to you! Nurse pass the mirror to Sir Tibano!"

The doctor prompted the nurse to give me the mirror. I look at it and I saw that...

My face, it's matured, I aged... No, no, no. This is not real.

"Try to find some calendar. You will learn that it's February 23, 2027. I know you can't believe me, but you need to..."

The doctor tidied his necktie and watched me with melancholic eyes. No don't look at me like that, don't pity me.

I choked, is that it? So I'm 26? You're saying that I spent my six years laying on bed!!??

"My friends, where are they? Niña, do you know her!? How about my brother!?"

"Sir, you need to calm down! Your brother will be here, we already called him. As for your friends, I'm sorry but no one visited you... Klein and your Granma are the only ones who visit here.

"....."

I don't know anymore. I lost my strength and kneel.  This is not real. This is not real. This is not real........ This is too much.

Why did it happen to me? For what reason!?... No, I already knew it. I recalled the lizard that bit me whole.

"Hydra..."

Lightning came out of my body, hatred controlled me. That Hydra, I will kill him if I see him again.

"Si- sir! There are patients outside, please don't cause a ruckus here!"

The nurse stopped me. I stared at her and I see the fear inside her eyes. I regulated my emotion and ease the lightning. 

*baam!*

I decided to punch my face since it's the only way to alleviate my frustrations. They gawked at me but I don't care.

I guess I'll wait for Klein.

"Kuya!"

After a couple of minutes, a tall handsome man appeared. I knew that he's Klein based on his appearance but he changed... He changed so much that I couldn't identify him.

I mean he even has a beard.

I do some math inside my head.

18+6= 24

So my brother is now 24...... He's not the little brother that I know. He's different.

He's now an independent adult, the suit, branded shoes, is that a rolex? Anyway, he is different from what I remember.

I feel like I'm seeing a stranger.

"Kuya! I'm glad that you wake up! I know that you can overcome the curse. You wake up earlier than I expected!!"

The handsome man hugged me, I awkwardly hug him but my mind was in a state of confusion.

There's only one question that I'm eager to ask.

"What happened?"

I said.
