She looked at the radio, her eyes filled with tension . She checked if there was a message recorded for her.Finally she found one!.
She brought it near to her ear to listen.The message had a surreal tone.It was the same boy speaking:
"Hello Anastia.I hope you have reached the orchard with no trouble.I can predict when you opened the book first and you weren't able to find the answers.
So,you seeked answer from this device,
How ironic?.
Who is the Pope,you wonder till now.?To be honest,"He is just like a pawn in a chess board created by someone and I am a horse protecting the shadow of the devil who is seeing everything and you...Maybe the one who is playing?..
But let me tell you something,"Pope is the key role in your origin.In other words,...you are the biological daughter of her.
Anastia heart sank as the confession of the reality but she didn't stop listening ,the message continued..
And ah other stuff?..You shall discover it in other unconventional ways.Soon his voice disappeared,as the sounds of someone typing on the type writer was heard.Sound of someone mumblings was heard in the recording,"Maybe the world never existed...Everything was the imagination led by the will to never undiscover the truth.I repeat,"Those who dare to question reality shall never find home."
Soon the recording ended and Anastia pulled it down from her ear.
Her eyelids weren't even blinking.She looked up in the sky silently.There were tears streaming in her eyes as the truth was finally revealed that,
"She was the biological daughter of the Pope."
She finally realized that the Pope's actions were out of love and protection for her and from now on the memories associated with him shall haunt him and words were wrapped as regret.She swept her tears and glanced the other way .There she could see a shadow of someone with a lantern gesturing her to follow.
Without hesitation she went near it.The shadow turned around and gesture her to follow. Soon they began to walk .The dream like state of the surroundings were still there , all eerie and mysterious ,The shadow kept a distance between them so its identity wouldn't be disclosed.
They walked miles and miles just like a poem she read,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
Finally they came near a village.The shadow stopped and spoke in a heavy gruff voice:"We are here ."
Go to the 10th house on ther river side bank.You shall find a home."Anastia nodded and thank him for guiding her. without questioning his intentions .She spoke with a smile filled with sympathy."Thank you!
May you find peace.
As these words escaped her mouth.The shadow replied in subtle yet painful tone,
"I have nowhere to go..Because in a world led by chaos.
Peace doesn't exist."
His words hold the truth and impacted Anastia.She couldn't deny it as she was the witness herself but she decided to choose kindness and hope,
"You know everyone deserves peace."
Wind blew as those words echoed around the air
And left just like that she left .Her presence made the shadow feel something in heart but he couldn't put it in words. The shadow turned around and glancing one more and soon it left with his lamp and continued to fulfill his purpose,
"To help as many souls as it can :).
As he was a wandering soul himself."
