The first day, I dreamt of Leon, the ruler of Leo. It is an exetremly long dream given that I sleep quite long 😂
In my dream, there is a magical crystal craved by the gods that held strong power. In order to prevent it from fallen into the wrong hand, the keeper/protector decided to broke it into several tiny pieces & entrusted the fragments to several clans. For years, evil beings trying to collect those magical fragments but failed. However, the demon king had raise & the next protector went missing. Several clans were killed & their fragments were stolen. Some are lucky enough to hold their last breath & pass their fragments to the other clans. My clan able to hide our tracks until the second last head pass us the almost completed crystal & dead. The demons followed him & found us. Fire was everywhere. Notice that we won't stand long, my parents asked me to run away, bring along the crystal to the holy land and seek help from the gods. In the end, I reached the holy land but I am the last head of clan. Whenever I touch the crystal around my necks, my heart aches for which I know my home is no longer exist. Finally the gods had agreed to assist me in protecting the crystal. Although they are not suppose to interfere human world, they make an exemption because the world will fall into chaos if crystal was lost. Leon volunteered himself as "my" protector.
He is confident & loves to order me around as if I am his servant. He always complain that it is troublesome yet still goes extra miles to fulfill my request even if it is dangerous. Later, I found out that he often went missing. I tailed him one time & saw him visiting an old crazy man in a prison like room. Then, a female high ranked demon appeared & called out to me. This is the time Leon noticed my secret hiding spot. He rushed to my side & used his power to fight her off. Later, he explained to me that the old man was his mentor who takes care of him since young. However, his mentor went insane when he loss control of his power & were locked away. He blamed himself for unable to save his mentor. That's why he longed for more power in order to protect. He said he doesn't want to feel the hopelessness once again. The gods decided that it is no longer safe for me to stay there & requested that we went undercover somewhere else.
Leon & I started living together in the nearby town where we have a normal human life. One day, when I was shopping for food. I heard from the seller that there will be a festival in the town. Given that I had never attend a festival, I begged Leon for permission to attend as he must stay by my side. He warned me that it will be dangerous because demons are more active & powerful at night but I insisted so he was forced to come along. I was excited to see new stuffs around but Leon seemed like he was bored & said that he will stay at the corner. "Don't walk too far & bring me some food when you are back" said Leon while sitting in front of a water fountain. It's almost midnight, the stalls are slowly closing. I brought food & went back to Leon. But I forgot to buy drinks so I have run & get his drink under his clearly annoyed face. I first went to the public bathroom. When I come out, I noticed some women & men are staring at me. Later, I noticed that somebody in the festival costume had been following me. So I grabbed Leon's drink & ran to his direction. "Leon, help!!!" He turned to me, rushed to me & took his drink away from me. When he ran past me, he said to me "Hide somewhere safe. I'll get you later." Instead of using his power, he lurked the fire breathing demon away from me & ran towards somewhere less crowded. Then I realized that: although the festival ended, there are still lots of people wondering around. Leon can't use his power in front of people!!! Damn! It's too late. Leon had already disappeared from my sight.

The second day, I dreamt of Aigonorus, the ruler of Capricorn. It's a short ones since I dreamt it during a nap.
Ok, the story starts with me announced my engagement with Aigonorus to my family. I received blessings from my family and friends. However, Aigonorus kept his poker face without saying a word all the time. When we reached our home, he said he was tired and wanted to sleep. I start wondering if he regret of proposing to me while staring at my engagement ring. When I sit on the edge of our bed, I asked if he still love me. He stared straight at me & pull me down the bed into an embrace. I was angry & trought that he wanted to make an escape by using me as a body pillow like he always did. But then...He kissed my forehead with a smile & whisper in my ears " I do". I hugged him tight & buried my face into his chest. We both fell asleep.
The next day, while I was making breakfast, Aigonorus told me that he will be away for a few days as he had to carry out a secret mission under the king's order. I waited for him at home. When he came back, I noticed that he looked as pale as a paper & asked if he was feeling unwell. He patted my head & answered that he was just tired. When I took his changing clothes to our room, I saw him struggling & almost fainted. I rushed to his side to support him while he hold on to the table & chair. I was worried. He laughed weakly & ensure me that he will be ok after a nap. But I am sure that it's not the truth. He finally gave in & told me that he was poisoned after being attacked during the mission. He took off his white uniform & revealed his bare skin. There are a few black color crack lines with the shape of neurons spreading out from his right chest. I was shocked as gods have incredible healing skills. To left such a serious injury, the attack must be extremely strong.
Since that day, Aigonorus's body becomes weaker & weaker to the extend that the other gods can't give a good solution. At night, I found him holding a tiny glass bottle with blood red liquid inside. For some unknown reason, I have the feeling that the red liquid is something I locked inside my wooden box. I stopped him by snatching the bottle away before he could drink it.
"Aigonorus, you know you can't drink that!!! You don't know what will happens! What if something happen to you?! Are you going to left your wife alone?" I said it out with a trembling voice.
Aigonorus gently wipe my tears away.
"I know but we don't have other option. No matter how serious the side effect will be, it is worth gambling if it means I will get more time to spend it with you."
" Do you really have to?"
"Yes." He hold my hands and answered.
I placed the bottle in the middle of his palm & watched him drank the liquid.
The black color marks dissapeared from his chest but he lost his immortality. We hugged each other. I promised that I will help him overturn the side effect.
