Rien took the cup full of melted ice cream and threw into the garbage. He quickly took a shower, brushed his teeth and simply put, got ready for bed. He was exhausted.
A little while after, he reentered his room and slipped under the covers after setting his alarm clock at 7AM. He felt the necklace against his chest. Somehow, he felt safer and less lonely. It was like a blessing. He lay down there for a bit, his eyes half-open, awaiting a dreamless sleep.

The dreamless sleep didn't come. When Rien drifted off his soul slipped from his body. But this time it was in a dream form, floating above him as he slept, a ghostly form of the necklace glowing warmling around his neck.
Across the room was a door. This door glowed as well, beckoning him to go through it.

He wasn't expecting something like this would happen again. He stared down at himself... well, his body. His gaze went from there to the door. Half of him hoped it was just a dream. In dreams, you could never feel pain, right?
He floated to the door with difficulty. It isn't every day your soul gets separated from your body. He had no idea how to control his movements. After what seemed like an eternity to him, he made it and passed through the door.

On the other side of the door was a room. When he passed through the door the door vanished but he felt more physical here. Before him was a body, seemingly of a young woman with strangely styled purple hair. She seemed slight, but wore armor and carried a sword. Strangely the relic's glow beckoned him to lay a hand on the body of the seemingly lifeless woman.

He looked around, studying the area before he noticed the woman a few feet away from him. He felt like the relic was pulling him closer and closer to that woman. His heartbeat quickened, he was nervous; afraid. The woman, was she dead? He walked to her and lay a hand on her shoulder, hoping she wasn't and would wake up.

When he touched her shoulder both the body and the relic erupted with light, making it near impossible to see. The weight of the relic lifted from his neck as it shot into the lifeless body and the glowing form shrunk. When the light did clear a small chubby baby with purple hair was blinking up at him.

Rien stared at the little one for a moment. And she stared back at him. It felt unreal. Was she the woman who was lying there mere moments ago? He picked her up carefully when she looked like she was about to cry and gently rubbed her back, hoping she would find some comfort in his arms.

When he picked her up the door reappared-open so he could return to his body, taking the child to her new one. And with that Edel had arrived into the world.
