Aeriol heard the loud bang then immediately went to the room where Lynx and Lala were. He saw the two goblins hugging, and goblin Lala is crying.
"Fi" a soft wind blew away the green smoke and help the vines to clean up all the mess.
"Aeriol!!!!" Lala screamed out crying. She runs towards him and pull for a hug. "Help me" she cried and cried and cried. Aeriol just shook his head and hug her back.
"Now, now," he said softly "I am sure Lynx have the antidote, right Lynx?"
"Nope," Lynx said straightly, as he tries to remove the green specs on his clothes
"Really?" Aeriol confirms
"Really" he answered, then Lala's voice echoes across the room.
"Aeriol" she cries
"Ok, ok" he said looking directly to Lynx as if signaling lie-lynx-lie while Lynx gesture response is a big 'X'. Aeriol sighed. "Will find a solution, for now, go take a bath with some herbs. It might go away"
"Yeah, yeah" Lala nods, wiping away her
It is still fresh in Lalaine’s mind. It was as if just happened yesterday. A young girl lost in the woods and a girl who just wants to be lost in the woods. Her mind is crying and shouting, her heart is breaking. Lies and tale-tale are going around the kingdom, no one wants to listen to the truth. Who wants to listen to the truth anyway, right?She sat down and break a few sticks murmuring to herself“You should fight! You should have said they are wrong! You should have screamed and slapped their faces!”“You should,” a girl said to her. “You should” she repeated. Lalaine look directly into her eyes“How can I?! They already have their own truth” she said“And so?”“You know how tiring is to be kind?! How tiring is it to be the understanding one?! You are tied down” she screamed“I know, your voice just echoes back to you”“So, I don’t know&h
“You did your best,” Nathaniel said as he lays the cup of hot tea on the table.“Have they woken up?” Aeriol asked“Lala did, but Stella---”“Lala is missing!” Lynx screamed out as he tries to catch his breath"She is what?!" Nathaniel leaps to his feet, running towards Lala's room. He sighed and lay his back against the wall, he saw this coming. I think everyone saw this coming."She left a note tho" Lynx said handing it over to him'I will be back.'"We need to find her, Aeriol!""Let her be, she needs it" he paused and paced slowly. His eyes travel from the bookshelves to the door, to the window, and back to the bookshelves again. He too needs to pause. He needs to go back to the kingdom and look for answers. Should he meet Fate again? or the Collector? Who will be there to be at his disposal?Lynx, on the other hand, seem to know what is going on, the more this two stay in the world of the humans they will lose their power. Unlike him or Lala, they can stay here. They are not part
The life in my world And sweetness in my word A nightmare I had She turns into a dream Dried up your tears my lonesome Princess I will be your guard Protecting your kind heart Draw a smile once more Stars will shine at its core As the moon sets the night Another fragment will unfold
It's just another dream for Stella. Stars winking and the breeze starts to pierce her skin. She stops as she felt her knees wobble. "How many times do I have to have this dream" she murmured. Suddenly the water in the lake starts to shimmer, directing her to the tree of fireflies. Her heart starts pounding when she saw a familiar figure under the tree. She gathers her strength as her knees try to stand her up and give her a little courage. Two steps forward... Then another four steps... Six...... Seventh .... Tenth... Then she stops, 'Is this right? Should I go and see him?' her clutter mind asked her. Then her feet take ten more to twenty or a hundred, she doesn't know anymore, she just stops counting as the figure gets clearer and clearer. "You are here" the man spoke, then their eyes met. Now, the four-steps seem to be an inch away as her eager body wanti
On the front gate, Stella and Lynx decided to take a break and ask some of the volunteers to take over for a while. They walk at the back of the Orphanage to take a peek on what Lalaine is doing. The kids seemed to be playing around and few nuns are watching over them. Stella and Lynx roam their eyes a little bit more but their blue haired friend is out of nowhere. "I'll check the Library" Stella said "She is just probably looking for someone else" Lynx answered. Their eyes suddenly pointed at the man with hair as dark as blood and mood as fiery as the sun. He is tapping his feet, arms cross and eyes that seem to be stuck on the same scene. "What an impatient fellow" Lynx said as they walk towards Nathaniel "I can't seem to find Aeriol, he said to meet here and it's been hours" when it was just been a couple of minutes. Lynx wrap his arms on Nathaniel's shoulders as he gently shakes his head "Now, now." he said with fresh and naughty idea craw
The man holding Stella, gently lay her down. She removes the books on her feet and crawl out. He slowly stood up, pushing the shelve back on it's place as if his aching bones are clueless on what it did. "Is everyone ok?" Father Rhen said running towards them "Y-yes Father" Stella answered as she drag her right leg “B-but I don’t think he is” pointing at the man stacking up the books as if his joints are as healthy as it was before “Justine” Father Rhen called out “Are you ok?” “Yes, I think the books really made an impact” he chuckled. Momentarily, Stella thought it was the man on his dreams yet this man has a black hair that covering his eyes. His skin was so pale that the ray of sun doesn’t dare to touch it. She just can't seem to understand the leap on her heart and image she saw moments ago. “I think that girl sprain her leg” Justine said as he points to her. “Let me call Sister Lily” Father Rhen immediately runs and cal
Back to the woods, Lynx is kneeling down as his eyes watching the clouds pass one after the other. While Nathaniel loading his gun."I want to thank the gods for giving me this life" he said clasping his hands together and fake tear drop on his left eye."Natty" Lalaine suddenly called out. A sigh of relief lets out from him and sun seem to be shinning brightly, his savior came. "Let's chill, okay. I know it pisses us off but I think having fun is good. It doesn't hurt anyone, anyways" she said"Stella fell from the stairs and broke her ankle looking for you" Nathaniel said in calm manner as his gun disappear."W-WHAT?!" Lalaine presence becomes cold, the water from the stream floats on the air and created a huge ball ."Goodbye world" Lynx whispered and the ball of water splash on him then floats his unconscious body to the stream."Is he dead?" Nathaniel asked worriedly as he watches Lynx floats away."Nope" Lalaine said and smile "
Stella went home but apparently her friends doesn't know how to go back to their respective houses. Aeriol is carrying ingredient for a good hot pot. Lynx is soaking wet and just trying not to get the cold. Nathaniel is carrying bags of fruits and beers. Lastly, Lalaine is simply being pretty."Hi Nana!" they all greeted"Oh dear" Nana said in surprise "You’re all here” she added."This girl sprained her leg and left us no choice" Lalaine explained"What happened to you?" she walks towards Stella and sat her down"Just a little clumsy" she responded "but I am fine now" she looks at the swollen ankle"You know I have a very good herbal medicine for something like this” Nana said as she strokes Stella's hair"Thank you Nana" she smiled "But first let Lynx take a bath, he fell into the lake and now he looks like a baby chicken run down from the rain" they all laugh except for Lynx."Ha-ha-ha" he said mockingly "L
