"Umm... I can't say it. Mama says it's in a language that i'll only fully understand when i'm older. The only words I know from that language are from my spells. Most of the adults speak it though."

"Hmmm... Well I'm sure someday you'll be able to say it," I tilt my head as I smile brightly and huge. A laugh escapes me. "...In the mean time... Since you're lost, why don't you join us on our grand quest~?"

"An adventure!? What do u think vulcan? Lets go with them!" I wait a moment before saying, "Okay, Vulcan agrees, but where are we going Sini?"

My eyes widen. "What is it? Is it treasure? A spaceship? Vulcan's nemesis?" Many possibilities flow through my head like a water through a faucet.

I shrugged. "I'm... looking for these..." I sighed. "You're all... everyone thinks I'm crazy..."

I scuffed my feet on the ground.
"My friend... she... there was... well..." I sighed. I didn't like telling the story.
"She was found dead in the middle of the street. The government... they siad... they calld it an accident, you see. But... it wasn't. According to rumors, the street was empty that day. Everyone was home. It... it happened here, in Urbadelphia."
I drew in a breath, pushed away all the pain.
"Her friends... didn't believe it either. Friends who she'd met shortly after moving away from this city, to the place where I grew up. They were both our friends, really, and... they said that they would help me find out what really killed Kanna. And people I'd known forever turned to strangers before my eyes."
I pulled the glasses off of my face, looking down at them. "These glasses... they're a fad in the town I come from. They have... a limited kind of virtual reality. With the help of Kanna's badly-corrupted journal files, and her friends' cryptic help, I reprogrammed them, and ever since, they've been... seeing things. Things that no one else can see, even other people with the glasses. Things straight out of urban legend. Monsters, and... and places where the world seems to be changed, twisted, and possessed somehow..."
I trailed off.
"And.... things, even beyond that. Things that are invisible. The traces where these urban legends have gone... I'm looking for them. I'm starting to believe that it's that strange other world, that underside of everything we think is real, that killed Kanna..."

I had listened to Haraken's story. Its a sad one for sure and it has me frowning a little. My voice is a little shakey from the emotions that I've gotten from just hearing such a thing, "Damn... You are right... But that suks what happened to you friend... And if the Otherworld got her... I'm seriously sorry for you both..."

"I once asked Mama what death was...She told me that it was sad and painful. She said that life had a lot of mysteries, and that some were painful. I think I'm starting to understand. Hearing about your friend...it somehow...hurt. I wanna help you anyway I can. I think if I do I can figure out what Mama meant. I'm Zatch Bell and this is Vulcan."

I closed my eyes, accepting their sympathy - the strange little boy's and Sini's - and trying to wrestle with the emotions that I usually kept out of the way of the rest of the world... before they flew open again as I realized what he'd said.
"You're right."
"If the Otherworld got her, I feel sorry for you both."
I grabbed the blue-haired boy by the shoulders. "You... you know something, don't you? What you can do... the cryptic hints that I got from Kanna's friends... you're part of that, aren't you?! Please..."
I could feel things stirring that I couldn't deal with at the moment. I shoved aside the sadness, pain, the tears that were threatening.
"Please... you have to tell me... the things I can see... what... what happened... tell me what you know...."
I could barely get the words out in my own desperation.

I look away from the boy and think to say something. I feel his desperation and how lost he is... Maybe i can help him with what little i know. Maybe the blue boy doesn't know but i think i do. "I don't know exactly...but i have this feeling that is bothering me. I think one of them... that is, one of the 'bad ones' got to her. Mama tells me to stay away from them and avoid them as much as i can."

When he has grabbed me by the shoulders I had began to panic, but now... That desperation... he needs this... and no matter how much this is against my better judgement... I began speaking, "I could possibly be like your other friends yes... If they are more or less Otherborn, then yes... Humans born with part of the Otherworld, a place of pure chaos and evil, in them... They experience something called crossings where they have to fight for their lives to fend off creatures that inhabit the Otherworld."
I stop a moment for air and to collect my jumbled mess of an explanation together.
"These creatures are called demons and they want nothing more than to corrupt and destroy Earth as we know it... Your friend... Your friends were most likely Otherborns whom banded together to fight off the demons... And you're now... Gone friend... I don't know... I..." My mother told me to never fully revel myself, I've done a lot of that today. But now I have to stop. "...That's all I can recall off of the top of my head..."
Poor Specs... Didn't realize he had such hardships...

The way Sini says this hurts deeply and though i try to hide it, I can't. 'Demons want nothing more than to corrupt and destroy earth as we know it...' It plays in my head over and over again. I think of my mama and myself. I begin to think, 'Am I really a monster like that?' 'Is mama?'. I find that I cant say anything now. My mind draws blanks and even though I wanna speak I can't. All I can think is, 'Is this really how everyone sees me?' I'm scared of the thought.
