by the words he heard from her. He just ruffled her hair and told her to stop saying weird things and just go back to sleep. Once again she easily brushed off his concern with her silly laugh and innocent smile.

 

 

Dream Of Requiem

I see myself standing all alone in this dark night, where everything is dead silent. Suddenly the snow starts flowing and turned everything white. On my hand I hold up the snow and watch it slowly melts in my palm.

 

What a fragile life, a voice suddenly said that to me.

 

And then I saw you...Gin, while I'm gathering the snow and then smile at you. How does I look and  my laugh sounds like now?  I asked you. But even if you tried to reply, I suddenly can't hear anything.

 

Tell me if you're feeling pain, tell me if you're lonely...I'll find and save you, anytime, that's what you must be saying as I try to read your lips movement, Please don't leave me alone, please I beg you! Aren't we share the same fate now! you keep in shouting in a soundless voice.

 

As the snow piles up, I gradually melts and disappear with the snow. You can't do anything but hold my hands tight. I'm so scared in this white world, where everything seems to stopped aside from the snow that still falling. But then I saw your empty eyes, with a single drop of tears on it.

 You're getting cold, yet I can't even melt with you on this snow, that's what you're lips are probably saying to me, Once again...I want you to smile to me!  your soundless voice shouted at me.

 

Someone gave this precious person my voice before everything turns white...Please someone let me hear once again his voice, I want to hear him call my name one last time.

 

When I wake up, I felt tears in my eyes and this unexplainable emptiness which made me cried out loud. Gin hurriedly run to me and asked me if it hurts anywhere. And for some reason my tears won't stop flowing and I can't stop from crying. 

 

You...Sigh...suddenly crying like that, I thought something happened to you while I'm gone for a while, Gin sighed and then sat beside me.Once again I'm being childish in front of him.

 

I'm trying to remember what was it I dreamt that cause this much sadness, but nothing comes into my memory. All I can remember was the snow slowly flowing and melting in my palms. Gin just sliently watch me and let me cried out loud. He didn't even once tried to stop me.

 

It take me a while before I calmed down and then I saw him breathe in a sigh of relief. He then pinched my nose and told me that I look ugly when I cried. I blushed from embarassment and tried to hide my face from him. He then gently pat my head and told me to go down and eat break fast with him.

 

He's gone back from the Gin I known, Is what I thought while looking at his proud back.

 

Lately, I noticed that he is not himself and been avoiding eye contact with me. I was worried that he's starting to hate my childishness now and might decide on leaving me alone. I won't be able to take this happiness I found in him be taken away from me. I wish for him to be with me forever.

 

When I came down, I saw the same grumpy face that I can't believe I'll missed this much. I like this better than the frowned and sad face he's been making lately. I, on the other hand tried my best to erase all of my doubt and childish concerns, then with all of my strenght...I gave him a smile.

 

To my surprise, Gin gave me a blank, expressionless face, which was a first time for me to see. And then he covers his face with his hands and then turn his back from me. I don't know if it was just my imagination but I saw his face turn red for a moment.

 

I tried to move closer and see how was his face looks like now, since I want to see all kinds of expression he has. He just shouted at me and told me to sit and start eating now the food he made for us. I can't help but laugh and giggle with this happiness I am enjoying right now.

 

There's no point of worrying about something I can't even remember, instead I have to make sure to curve this memories I'll have with him each day and treasure them.

 

Lost Race And Forgotten King

These creature called Jinni were born from "Scorching fire and Wind" several thousand years ago, even before humans were made from clay and mud. They are often describe much more intelligent than any spirit and demon. They are free willed, live close to nature and with strong magical powers.

 

However there are some of them who is good and some were evil, and even more of them are in between; evil yet sometimes good.They are trickster who live and become more powerful by tricking other beings, specially humans to succumb in their desires.

 

 It was unknown how long they live since but like other creatures they were also able to build their own society, culture, law and even have a king. 

 

The race of Djinns are filled with different types of appearance, but among them one stood out and was considered strongest of them all. Suddenly this unique Jinni suddenly appeared with a human form like appearance yet cold and aloof with his own race. He became their first king.

 

 

No one even dares to look on his eyes but still serves him unconditionally. It was as if they find a solitude place with him that will keep them from harm and protect their race.

 

This king that was showered with love and respect by his subjects shows less emotion and has a stone-cold, serious demeanor.No one can come near him and neither did he allow it as well.

 

His eyes were empty and cold, yet he has a gentle beautiful face that makes him attractive. He was often surrounded by those who felt desire for him. But  he on the other hand doesn't show any interest in any of them.

 

He would often goes out and just return after a long time, for who knows how long is it on a human's time period. They would frantically look for him everywhere, only to find him in the human world. It was like he found such interest in the humans itself.

 

However this king suddenly disappeared for good and leave behind his subjects that made the whole race chaotic. It was because of other evil djinn who was just afraid of him and won't surface but since he was gone many of them became anxious and excited  to take his place. They become such sly and ferocious race far from what they were known by humans. 

 

It was by then the ruler of heaven sees this and became mad, thus decided to end their race and scatter them into the wind. There are even some of them that was imprisoned in the process and was perished for all eternity. Terrified, contorted expessions swept on their faces as they watch their own race became near to extinction.

 

Our king...please save us! Their soundless voice keeps on repeating these words as they scatter in the wind.

 

Unknown to them, the real story behind their king sudden disappearance was yet to get unfold.

 

What was that? These are Gin's thought each time he found himself loosing his conciousness and see scenes, faces and voices he never remembers. 

 

As he look on the boring sky, he can't help but sigh again, Even memories, be it a lie or truth, I was deprived... sinking his self on this thoughts, time passes cruelly.

 

But even so he tried to gather the pieces of the scene he saw and understand that he had lost memories of his past that was the key for him to know his true self. But one thing he came to realized, that he was the so called "Djinn First King" and remembers that he did became a king before.

 

From time to time he met one of his own race and would fall on their knees then tells him that he was their king, even if he changed his appearance they would still recognize him. But since he can't remember the important pieces of his past he ignore them and run away.

 

However he now consider this place, he found himself  was quite good to live in. He was able to found as well something that's supposed to only ease his boredom for a while, but he then came to realize that this flower he found was now even more important than those memories he lost. 

 

He decided that if his past will just destroy this vanity lair he found, he might as well forgot remembring things of his past that doesn't matter to him right now.

 

Genie's First Love

The falling white flakes of snow has stopped falling, even the white powder that covers everything has begun to melt. Staring blankly while leaning on the window, I always watch the time passes like this.

Spring is coming... I turned my head and look outside. A young maiden with a long and straight, black hair was outside singing with the twittering birds of its joyous hum. Her silky hair streaming in the wind was beautiful.

 If my voice no longer sound beautiful would you still listen to it?

Argh!  I cringed my head when suddenly a memory of a woman who utter these words flashes before me.

Of course I would! I smiled back, kindly that it almost eerie.

Slowly I reached out my hand to her face and as if
