Delton said nothing. He took out a vial from the pouch. Holding it out, he directed a question at her. "What is this?"
Susan eyed the vial. Then, she eyed him. "A cure to the poison that Alana drank," she answered calmly.Delton smiled. He put the vial back into the pouch. "You're too kind," he said. "Shouldn't you say, you have no cure?" A sinister tone mingled in his voiceSusan inhaled deeply. She understood the malice in his tone. Then, she responded, "I have no intention to add more bad deeds into my account. Plus, someone like you knows best that it isn't nice to hurt others let alone to have the thought of doing it.""Well said," Delton replied with a smile. "Very well, thank you for your kind assistance. We will do the rest." He tossed the pouch into a small black hole that warp in the air.Susan nodded and she disappeared from the chair. Then, Delton disappeared seconds later....Back at the villa of the Hedo CoupThe day of the departure arrived at last, and Jennet was still asleep when the day came. She woke up from her slumber when she heard a loud bang from the outside of her room. No, the sound came from outside the villa! She lifted her head and squinted her eyes. Everything around her was bright as it was already the day. Then, she glanced to her side and found the spot beside her was empty. "Hue?" she called out for her husband. At the same moment, she spotted a few black figures flying outside the window. She flinched on the bed. Then, she hurried up, scooted to the corner of the bed and held the blanket close to her erratic chest. Her eyes widened in fear when she saw the figures appearing at the window again. "Hue!!" she screamed her husband's name. One of the mysterious and hooded dark figures, stopped when it heard her scream. It veered around slowly and saw her in the room. It flew closer to the window and peered inside, looking straight at her face. Jennet broke down into c
Horan was sitting leisurely on the chair, enjoying a cup of tea, when a message popped on the wall inside the Immigration Hall. The cup slipped through his fingers and shattered into millions of tiny sparkles in mid-air."Oh my..." he heaved a sigh. "They are coming earlier than expected," he whispered. Then, he, without averting his eyes from the wall, flicked his fingers. The shattered sparkles regrouped and returned to their normal form, then, they returned to his hand. 'My snails are going to go crazy...' he mumbled inwardly as he took a sip from the cup.Just as he surmised, the hall was in murmurs. At first, it was only whisperings, but as time passed, the whispering became louder as the snails started to talk among each other."They're finally here!!" One among the snails screamed as if the world would end. Following the scream, the other snails started to burst into tears and some of them wailed in fear. The Immigration Department was in chaos!Horan sighed deeply. He stood up
Fine creases appeared on Jennet's forehead when she failed to digest the explanation. She was utterly confused!Hue chuckled and kissed her head, "Don't worry, you can take as much time as needed to get used to my world. Take it easy, okay?""Okay," Jennet nodded. Then, she inhaled deeply when she thought she could take a break from tiring her brain to adapt to new things at once.Then, the couple continued to enjoy the scenery of the huge garden where tiny and sparkly flowers in the form of cute children, as big as a human palm, ran around. Their flowery heads bounced whenever they jumped and the ground would chime whenever their feet landed on it. The green and sparkly grasses took various forms, too. They turned into trees that lit up from every direction, turned into swings and a lot more; just for those tiny flowers to have unstoppable fun. Suddenly, a gust of wind came, sweeping up thousands of pollens into the air. It compacted in the air
Suddenly, she pushed her husband through the door and his body disappeared from her view. A loud voice, cursing madly, reached her ears but, she stood calmly by the door while she looked at her nails. Horan stayed silent before her, rendered speechless by her obnoxious act.Shortly after that, Hue's head emerged from the door. His face was as dark as a bottomless pit and he was dead angry. Saying nothing, he pulled his wife in and both of them disappeared from view.Horan stepped in after they were gone. The door dissolved in the air, leaving the Immigration Hall in dead silence. The snails in the hall prayed hard for their master to return in one piece while some of them were crying silently in their seats....Hue, Jennet and Horan stood beside a crystal clear stream where stones and pebbles of various colours lay at the bottom. Fishes of various species were seen swimming underwater and some other unexplained creatures that look part human part fish
Then, she looked away, towards the huge garden or it could be considered a forest in the human sense, and saw a house further inside. Around the house, there were lots of lights illuminating it. The area of the house loomed in dark blue with mists and fogs, and a cool sensation all over. The feeling was the same as in the early morning. It was so beautiful and no eerie feeling came out of it.Jennet found herself venturing into the forest and reached the house which was a huge mansion. The place was surrounded by flower hedges, and the flowers took the form of little children. Those flowers were playing around and, a translucent being, with the appearance of a mermaid, was looking after them from the river bank near the mansion that circulated its compound.When Jennet reached the place, the flowers dashed away and hopped behind the trees and bushes, hiding from her. From the bushes, they eyed her and she could see all sorts of flowers. The mermaid dissolved into water and was no long
Hue brought Jennet to his mansion which resembled a castle. His wife gaped in awe when she saw the magnificent house at a close distance.From the gate, and on each side of the paved road that went straight to the entrance door, there were rose gardens. In the rose gardens, there were fountains and in total, there were four large fountains around the mansion. The large fountains shot water into the sky and formed one crystallized water net above the mansion. From afar it looked like a massive umbrella. The crystallized water net dispersed lights that created Aurora Borealis and the aurora's majestic colour lit up the entire place. The roses glowed in different colours and the paved road glowed in warm white lights, all of it was easy on the eyes. The nearby trees glowed a soft light blue colour, the leaves glowed a soft light green colour, and the grasses on the ground glowed a soft light yellow and green colour. Veils of mists mantled the surface of grasses and leaves. From afar, th
Hue woke up from his slumber when somebody whispered in his ear. He lifted his head and saw a silhouette waving at him. He made a hand gesture at the silhouette and then glanced to his side; where his wife was sleeping soundly on her side.He kissed her cheek lovingly but when he noticed her frowning in sleep, he held his breath. Then, when she didn't make any other movements and snuggled with a pillow, he smiled.Then, he put his feet down and the moment his toes met the surface of the water, the surrounding morphed slowly, beginning from the water under his feet; turning into floors. Then, the lake and the mountains disappeared and were replaced with chairs, a dressing table, glass walls, a balcony, a swimming pool and so on.He looked around as the place morphed completely into their bedroom; just like the one they had in the Reality World. Then, he stepped out of the bed and went out to the balcony. The entire mansion had morphed into their forest villa. Everything was completely
Jennet felt much more lively and energetic after her hunger was appeased. She strolled around the villa with Gomi without needing an escort like before. It was all thanks to the socks from Kith that helped ease the discomfort while she walked. Hue wasn't around because he was busy making preparations to welcome their children and he had left the island, to go somewhere."So, how long have you been my husband's familiar?" Jennet broke the silence when they were in the garden, admiring the sparkly roses.Gomi growled softly, and then it grunted. It looked away, hesitant to answer. But, after a while, it turned its head back at her."Long enough..." it answered in a low but gentle voice."How long?" she asked. 'Long enough' wasn't an answer that could satisfy her curiosity. After all, she was from Reality World who sought absolute answers.Gomi bared its fangs at her. But, it didn't do anything else as it sat on its hind legs. Their eyes met. "I was already by his side before his exile,"
