"LOVE IS NOTHING BUT ~
AN INVESTMENT OF AFFECTION"
A BIG LAND FLOATING IN THE SKY
FOR HOW LONG??
100 YEARS.... AFTER DEMONS ENDED ALL OF HUMANITY...
IT WAS A BLESSING BESTOWED BY GOD HIMSELF
UPON THIS LAND....OR SO THEY SAY---OR IS IT??
HOW IT'S FLOATING IN THE MIDST OF NOWHERE???
IT'S STILL A MYSTERY....
SOME THINKS IT'S UNNATURAL
YET IT'S RIGHT BEFORE THEIR EYES
FLOATING IN THE SKY
DRIVEN BY WIND -----
BLESSED BY WIND ----
CURSED BY WIND -----
AND WHAT DO PEOPLE CALL THIS BLESSED COME CURSED ISLAND???? - THEY CALL IT ~~
"THE LOST ISLAND"
WHERE DID THE NAME CAME FROM??
WHY DO THEY CALL IT THAT???
"HEY! HEY! OJEE-CHAN"--(GRANDPA)
A BUNCH OF KIDS ASKING AN OLD MAN -
HE'S QUITE FAMOUS AMONG THE KIDS BECAUSE OF HIS CHEERFULNESS AND THE STORIES HE TELLS
---- THE STORY ABOUT THE WORLD BENEATH THE SKY
"HEY! HEY! OJEE-CHAN!!
WHY DO THEY CALL THIS, THE LOST ISLAND???"
"HMMMMM" THE OLD MAN MUMBLED
AS HE ACTED OF THINKING DEEPLY
"IT'S BECAUSE, THE DEMONS BELOW THE SKY----
THINKS THAT THEY LOST US ----"
"EEEHHH!??!??!? THAT'S SO LAME!!!
OJEE-CHAN!!!! YOU'RE SOOOOO LAMEEEEEE!!!!!!"
THE KIDS CHIRPING CHEERFULLY
AS THEY MADE FUN OF THE OLD MAN
AND WENT TO PLAY, LAUGHING, JUMPING, RUNNING
"HAHA!! YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!! LET'S PLAY EVERYONE!!!"
A NORMAL AND A VERY CHEERFUL DAY....
BUT SOMETHING OMINOUS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
WHAT IS IT??? HOW IS IT GOING TO OCCUR???
"NO! NO!! NO!!! I CAN'T DO IT!!!!"
INSIDE A HOUSE, GLITTERING IN SUN RAYS
A GIRL NAMED RADHAYA IS LITERALLY CRYING
AND BEGGING TO A MYSTERIOUS PERSON
WHO'S IDENTITY IS UNKNOWN, EVEN TO HER.
THAT PERSON IS FORCING RADHAYA TO DO SOMETHING THAT SHE ABSOLUTELY CAN'T!!!!
EVEN IN HER DREAMS!!! NIGHTMARES!!!!
"NO!!!! I CAN'T DO THIS!!!
I CAN'T DO THIS TO KRISSHO!!!
I JUST CAN'T!!!! PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!!!!!"
"BUT YOU HAVE TO!!!!"
THE TALL MAN IN DARK VEILING CLOTH
HOOD ON HIS FACE AND EVEN ON HIS HANDS
THERE WASN'T EVEN A SINGLE POINT LEFT
WHICH WASN'T COVERED, SO THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL EVEN WHAT SKIN TONE HE HAS UNDER THE VEIL
HE TELLS RADHAYA -
"YOU HAVE TO DO IT!!! CAUSE IF YOU DON'T -
THE LOST ISLAND WILL COLLAPSE ON THE GROUND
AND ALL THE PERSON YOU CARE FOR WILL DIEEEEEEE!!!!!!
IF YOH REALLY WANNA SAVE THE LOST ISLAND
YOU HAVE TO DO IT....!! THE COST IS NOT THAT MUCH
COMPARED TO WHAT'S ON STAKE!!"
RADHAYA BURST INTO TEARS !!!!
WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO TO KRISSHO????
SHE GOES OUTSIDE, WALKING DOWN THE STREET
THINKING WHAT SHE'S GONNA DO!
SUDDENLY A VOICE -
"HEY! RADHAYA!!!" FLOATED IN THE AIR
THE CALL CAME FROM A TALL MAN WITH SHORT HAIR
"OH NO!! IT'S KRISSHO!!! WHAT DO I DO NOW!!!
I CAN'T FACE HIM!! I CAN'T DO THIS TO HIM!!!
I JUST CAN'T!!"
RADHAYA KEEPS REPEATING TO HERSELF!! MURMURING CONTINUOUSLY!!
"HEY RADHAYA!!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???
I'VE BEEN LITERALLY SEARCHING
THE ENTIRE AREA FOR YOU!!
WHOAAAAAA!!
THIS BLUE HANFU (ANCIENT CHINESE ATTIRE)
LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL ON YOU"
RADHAYA STUTTERING IN ANXIETY -
"HAHA... THANKS
I'VE--- I'VE --- BEEN HERE THE WHOLE-- TIME.....
BY THE WAY....WHY ARE YOU IN ARMOR???
ISN'T TODAY YOUR DAY OFF???
AND THAT WINDMARK ON YOUR FOREHEAD
STILL HASN'T GONE YET????"
"WHOA!!! SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!"
"I'M SORRY! UM....BY THE WAY... KRISSHO
I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU

KRISSHO SHOUTED OUT OF EXCITEMENT -
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!
WE ARE ABOUT TO DO THAT... RIGHT????
WE ARE ABOUT TO KISS??!??!! RIGHT?????!?!?!!
YAAAAAAAAYYYYY?!?!????????
I AM SO EXCITED !!!!!!!"
THEY WENT TO THE FURTHEST CORNER
OF THE ISLAND...
ALONG THE WAY THEY WERE SILENT
RADHAYA OUT OF ANXIETY
KRISSHO OUT OF EXCITEMENT
"I AM READY!"
KRISSHO BURIED THE TIP OF HIS SWORD INTO THE GROUND AND SAID -
"UMM...
JUST FOR CONFIRMATION
WE ARE HERE TO KISS RIGHT???
IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON???
IT'S KISS RIGHT???"
"UMM.... YEAH WE ARE ABOUT TO KISS.....
WITH NERVOUS SMILE ON HER FACE"
RADHAYA REPLIED
"I AM SO EXCITED, RADHAYA!!!! IT'S OUR FIRST KISS!!!
BUT WHY ARE YOU SO TENSED???"
"WHAT?!!" RADHAYA STUTTERED AGAIN!
"NO! I --- I -- I'M JUST SHY!...
SINCE IT'S OUR FIRST KISS"
AFTER THAT THEY KISSED
YEAH....THEY KISSED..... IT WAS THEIR FIRST KISS!!!!
WITH THE IMMATURE AND INEXPERIENCED
SWIRLING OF TONGUES, TSUNAMI OF LOVE'S AQUA
THEY LITERALLY MELTED
AT THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT....
BUT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE....
EVERYTHING CHANGED
THE VERY UNFORTUNATE HAPPENED....
RADHAYA PUSHED KRISSHO OFF THE CLIFF!!!
AS KRISSHO COULDN'T PERCEPT THE MOMENT AND WONDERED - "EH? WHAT???!? WHAT HAPPENED??"
HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND
HE COULDN'T GRASP THE SITUATION
AT FIRST IT FELT LIKE A LIE
A DREAM OR RATHER SOMETHING
HE'S PROBABLY IMAGINING
LIKE AN INTRUSIVE THOUGHT
HE WANTED IT TO BE FICTION
BUT ALAS IT WAS REALITY
HIS LOVER PUSHED HIM OFF THE CLIFF
THE MOMENT HIS FEET LOST THE GROUND
A CHILL WENT THROUGH HIS ENTIRE SPINE
MAKING HIS BODY GO NUMB FOR A FEW SECONDS
AS WELL AS CAUSING MIND GOING BLANK
BUT THE FRICTION OF WIND
AND THE FORCE OF GRAVITY
SMACKED HIM BACK INTO HIS SENSES
AS HE FALLS IN THE DARKNESS OF DEMONIC ABYSS
AS RADHAYA FAILS ON HER KNEES
CRYING AND SCREAMING
- "I'M SORYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
NARRATOR - WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE TO CAUSE THIS HAPPENED? AND WHAT WILL HAPPENED NOW THAT
THIS JUST HAPPENED??
WHY RADHAYA PUSHED HIM OFF THE CLIFF??
WHO WAS THAT VEILING PERSON??? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO KRISSHO??? WILL HE SURVIVE???
