When they go home that day, all of their neighbors are waiting for them, they are all very eager to hear, what have happened to Dexter, in the hands of the Faith Healer. They want to know every detail, as if they are expecting extra-ordinary thing is about to happened there. Dexter does not want to talk to them, for he knows, in their eyes, he is different from them, until he has proven, he is not. Dexter is uneasy, and at the same time, he is tired, very tired, for what the faith healer has done to him. He has been tortured physically a while ago, and now, among his neighbors, he is being tortured mentally.
He does not know, what they want to happened with him? Is he an evil spirit?
Every time, they look at him, or talk with him, he can sense, they are trying to figure out what is something wrong with him. They are trying to know, if he is really the Dexter, they come know befor
After all day ordeals both physical and mental, Dexter has able to have a peace of mind at home with his family. For most of us, family is our comfort zone, our hiding place, family is everything to us. Dexter simply wants to be with his family, after all those nasty things that have happened on his life. He wants to be with his mother and younger sister, he wants to see them in good health, in good living condition. That night they eat dinner together happily, they have spent long time in the dining table, because, most of the time, his mother asked him, to tell them, what really happened with him in the forest. They are still amazed, with his story, that a beautiful young lady, in the name of Shayne, save his life, and take good care of him, while he is still sick and weak. They want to hear, how she looks like, what she wears or what kind of dress she had and the house she used
Dexter come to the bed, that night, with smiles, on his lips. He is happy because he has able to talk to Shayne. His longing for Shayne, has subsided, he can communicate to her, even she is very far from him. He has loved a mystic woman, who have mystic characteristic, that is hard to believed with, in the modern times. Maybe it his destiny, to fall in love with her, no matter how their world and life style differs from each other. Love known no borders. Love is mysterious. Love is powerful. Dexter prepares himself to lay down in the bed, he is alone in his room, it is his old room. It is the place, he used to take a rest before, after his tiresome office work. It is good, his sister and his mother had kept it clean. His things are all intact in his room, his books, his guitar, his old cloths, and other personal things. When he opens his cabinet, he notices the old passbook still kept t
Dexter feels he is tired and sleepy after a long stressful day, he went to his room and prepare himself to rest. He first have look, with his mother, who is still watching the late television show. She is already a senior citizen, she open complain, she wakes up early in the morning, the reason, why she watches late shows so that, she will sleep late and would not wake up early. Joana is already on her room sleeping. It is only his mother, remains awake. “Ma, it is already very late, you should sleep by now” he said to her. “Ok, I will just finish this” she look at him, and then continue watching.Dexter lied down his tire body in the bed. He is still contem
Joana who is sweeping the yard from the fallen dried leaves, she happened to see Dexter, who is with the birds, with the flock of birds, who are very close to Dexter, and giving him, some forest fruits. She was amazed and surprise, how he able to do such impossible feat, that no ordinary person can do.She come close to her brother, in a safe distance, not to scared away the birds, she observed him for a while, it is not an ordinary thing to see her brother has tamed wild birds, like an ordinary domesticated animal. When she can no longer hold on, she talks to Dexter. “How come you have tame that birds? They are all wild” “I don’t know, they just come to me”
When the woman, who performs the ceremony to cast the evil spirit had left, Dexter can still smell the scent of incense she had used, outside and inside their house Dexter notices that his mother is putting something wrap in a small plastic bag in the corners of their house, while saying some sort of incantation, possible taught by the woman who performs the rituals, a while ago. He did not contradict nor object to what his mother is doing. It is so hard for a son, to tell his mother who is older, than him, to stop, what she is doing, she will not listen. She will also, will be having a hard feeling toward him. It is far better, to just let her otherwise it will not bring any harm, to any one of them. It will only make them believe in something that is not logical or practical.After sometimes, Dexter has a talk with his mother.&n
Every morning the birds come to the tree near the house of Dexter, the people have learned it and they come to see, the wonderful view, the group of birds, coming from the forest, giving wild fruits to Dexter. The fruits contain wide variety of wild berries and some other small fruits, that the birds can carry on their beaks. The birds are also of different sizes and colors. It becomes an spectacle view near the house of Dexter, having different types of birds gathered every morning. Some, used to take a video of it, while some , simply watch and enjoy the show. “How you able to tame those birds” they commonly asked him. “I don’t know, what I know, when I am in the forest, Shayne introduces them to me” he replies 
The news that Dexter can heal a broken limb, spread like a wild fire in the community. It becomes the talk of the people. They have exaggerated what he has done to his nephew Ralph. Some said, the ankle of the boy is totally broken, is very much swollen but Dexter able to heal in three hours only. They even talk, that Dexter, has made the birds, come to him every morning, as if he has able to talk to them, and they obey him, as their master. They concluded that Dexter has gain extra-ordinary power, the reason why he can make miracle, because he has lived with the enchanter for three years, and he has gained some power from her. That night, after dinner, Dexter is again on his favorite hung out, the shade of mango tree, he is sat down, in the bench located there. He contemplating what have happened and what he has done, that he himself, is also surprise, he can do that, healing
Dexter don’t know what to do in the face of a new problem, to cast away evil spirit in a particular person. He has not done it before; he does not know how to do it. These people are all insane: thinking that he can do everything they wish him to do. Yes, he has healed, those people, who have some minor health problems, but this case now, he is facing; is different. “What are you going to do with me? Are you going to destroy me?” it is the possessed girl. “We are only going to make you better; we want you to be ok” one of the men said. “I am not sick, you are the one sick” she said, then she rolled her eyes up and down. Dexter and his mother, are very much troubled, by the coming of
Certain part of the forest area was spared for destruction, for the meantime, when the team of developer leave the area. However, it is not a permanent success, those people, who have able to purchase and titled the forest reserve, will surely try it again, in some other time, in the future. Now the fight for the preservation of this area, rest in the shoulder of the next generation, they should learn how it should be done, for themselves “We should plan for our future; time is running fast” Shayne told Dexter. “I m happy and contented with you I cannot ask for more” Dexter answered “I know, it, but we cannot set aside the truth in between us, I am spirit th
The subdivision developer chief engineer of the forest sends an emissary to Dexter, telling him, his help, is badly needed, begging him to help them, find a way to solve their problem, the forest spirits are intervening their works, and hampered their operation. If they will not able to find ways to solve their problems, they will not meet the deadline, it will mean a big loss to the company. Their CEO cannot allow this to happen, the blame will fall on them, they will force the men working bellow, to do nasty work, to have result, at all cost or else they will lost their jobs. Dexter talks to Shayne and tell her everything, he wants to weigh out everything. “Did you intervene with their works” Dexter asked Shayne. “No, it is some other spirit of my kin
The five Paranormal students come out of the forest with half bake work, they have encountered the unknown but they have not able to have video tapes about what actually happened and transpired inside the forest during faithful night of their observation. All of their equipment are functioning well, but all of them failed to record anything worthy to support their theory, that extra-ordinary things actually happened, that mythical creatures actually exist and it is not just a fictitious characters in the folk tales. But how they can prove it, in the scientific way acceptable to the academic community, where they belong? They should able to cast all doubts and questions about supernatural phenomena, the reason why they come, to this forest reported to have thrive with extra ordinary stories, but they have failed. The old belief and saying that you can’t take pictures or videos with dwarfs, nymph and fairy, seems true based on their own experience. Possibly it is the reason, why

Joana makes a frequent call to her brother, informing him about the condition of their mother. Dexter is very thankful that Joana is taking good care of their mother. The doctor attending their mother, was also surprised by the fast recovery of his patient, he expects, in normal rate, the old woman would recuperate in a week time, but here it is now, she doing well beyond his expectation, beyond what medically happened in normal phase of medication. “It is good, your mother is recovering fast than normal” the doctor said to Joana. “Thanks God, we will able to go home early” Joana replied. “You can settle down all your remaining bills and by tomorrow, you can go hom
After the hold dupers was apprehended by the authorities, a thorough tactical investigation, was done, and all of it was focused to the lone forest ranger, who flush out them out of the forest, without a single fire of gun.

Half awake, Dexter walks outside the castle of Shayne contemplating whether he now exist in human flesh or in pure spirit, as what his, dream had induced to his mind a while ago. He is still confused of everything. What he is sure, Shayne is spirit appearing before him in human flesh, so that he can see and touch her.
