All of us woke up with the morning birds singing for us... how delightful 

I lazed myself like I always do in my tend. Without noticing I manged to lay mt foot on Ray peaceful sleeping face * Oh crap * 

Ray raised his head with a discomforted face, trowing some " I'll choke you when you're asleep" mood face. I tried to calm down " I'm so sorry Ray I didn't meant to- " 

Ray's face changed and he layed a finger over his lips, for me to me quiet and pointed to the other side of the tend. I looked in that direction and I smiled: Hayato and Ma'am here snoring so loud! One of them had one arm on top of Gillian's face, Anna's hair was all covered in patches and Alicia was inside Nigel's bonnet 

Ray's hair bang hid his face but somehow... I could feel his brilliant smile

I whispered to Ray " Do you want to wake them up?" Ray turned and looked down laying a head on Jemima's hair " No...let them rest for a while, I'll go prepare the food" 

" You're quite the Master Chef now, right Ray? Smiling and being soft like that..." 

" STUP UP ANTENA! If you want food you have to watch your mouth!"

While Ray prepared everything, I started to wake everyone. Minutes later we were all ready to start walking towards Mister Minerva's secret hideout Hayato knew about and told us about... I couldn't wait any longer

" OMG You're gonna love meeting boss! He's the best ! I'm so exited! Can't wait to see him again"

Gilda smiled and pat Hayato in the head " But aren't you excited always excited about everything Hayato?" 

" I mean yeah! But this in another level! They're talking about Boss here!"

Anna got even more curious: everyone did " What is he like, Hayato?" Hayato flinched his nose and his eye shinned looking at the highest florest  branches: " He is tall like a tree, he was eyes blue as the cleanest lake, he hears a cape like a god and... he was this fantastic silver hair!"

I shivered at Hayato's description * It seems like a description of Norman* Once again he appeared in my memory, smiling so softly... I recall when we panted a tree together... 

*Tell me, Norman how tall our tree is now? * The flowers just happen to unbutton: How pretty they are!

Still, We kept hearing Hayato's crazy histories as I, Ray, Gillian and Nigel guarded everyone, making sure no demons would attack us * I was sure the trees protected us*

" Oh it's here! We arrived everyone! It's here!"

Everyone gasped at the sight of a huge tree, 20 meters tall with golden leafs at shined so brightly, almost like the sun. The hole on in looked like a door of an old castle:

" It's me, Hayato! " The wise snow night owl"! Let us in!"

Gilda had to put her glasses right and Ray actually looked surprised when the tree searched for Hayato's hand and touch it like a human hand, making million branches and roots create a long doorway for us: " WOAH

" I told you guys didn't I? Boss is the best!"

" Also, is what you said a secret password or something, Hayato? " Don looked really interested: opening secret doors was kinda of a hobby of his

 " Yeah it is...but don't tell anyone ok?"

" But we all know about it now Hayato!" Anna pointed out us all of us started laughing and vowed that we would pretend we didn't know about it to keep Hayato's "reputation" clean

" Just come in! Man I suck at this!"

When we got inside we couldn't bealive your eyes: a hole town built inside the tree, in a maze of stairs, houses, food stores fulfilled our sight with wonder. I could hear children laugh...but when I looked up I was blinded by the refection of the white clean clothes hanged on the million stretches

*It feels like a different world... I saw this only in my dreams until now... Can you see it Norman? I will see it for you*

" Don't mind all this children...Boss rescued all of them when he destroyed the plantations, so they're the same as us" Still, Alicia, Shelly and Jenimima seemed like they had already made some good friends, Ma'ma was right...so many kids in this paradise! In the heart of this tree: 

" Emma! Boss I waiting for you! He will see you now and the others later!"

" All right! I'm going!"

Hayato pointed me the way, and every step I got up, I felt more close to this great person that had the power to move all those hearts, move all those children who had fall into dispare.

I myself has attracted to his light, holding my pen with all my will, as Hayato opened the golden door, coated in gold and wood, surrounded by red flowers, bloody flowers of a self destructive love: " Here you go! Hope it all goes well!"

" Thank you, Hayato"

The door flinched and my green eyes meet his, tall like a tree, with a silver hair like the moonlight: a good, a savior, a mastermind, a kind soul

How great is to find you once again
