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 fishThen, 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,"
Jennet was at the bank and stood beside her husband, gaping in awe, again. As curious as she was, she gazed at the unexpected yet hard-to-believe that she was standing before workers in armour. She thought they would be dealing with...well, people with arms and legs...Thousands of cacti, with their brandished spiky armours or prickles, were the workers inside the banks. Their intimidating appearance made people's stomachs turn into knots. Fear was the veil that masked anyone's heart when they laid their eyes on those formidable-looking cactus.Jennet gulped as cold sweat, in fine-looking tiny beads, appeared on her forehead. She eyed her husband with fear transpired in her gaze."My eyes didn't lie to me, right?" she asked in bewilderment. "I'm seeing cactus at the counters." She shook his body as if doing so could help her find an immediate reply from him.Hue bit his lips, trying his hardest to muffle his laughter. His wife's speechless mien looked so adorable and hilarious!"Y-you
"She is asking how many you can offer after you judge the quality of the clothes," her husband answered."J-judge? You mean I have to evaluate these before I get them?" she was surprised.Hue nodded his head, "Yes, you have to evaluate it and then offer the seller how much good deeds it is worth. Here, it's the buyer that put the price on the goods sold by the seller.""Oh," Jennet exclaimed as she nodded her head. The explanation was very different from what she was used to.Then, she asked for her husband's opinion, "But, what if I say, I want these for one good deed? What would happen?"Hue inhaled deeply as he explained calmly, "Then, these clothes are of low quality and thus considered bad products. The seller won't display it anymore and they will only display new ones that are of good quality. But, there's another thing you must know, buyers must evaluate the goods honestly because if they don't, they will gain bad deeds for the attempt to trouble others.""Oh wow..." Jennet wa
Jennet grabbed his arms that secured her waist firmly. Her gripping strength was too strong and Hue found himself clenching his jaws."Honey," she looked at his face, gasping, "d-do you have any idea h-how it feels to be in l-labour pains?"Hue thought twice and then he shook his head and answered with a straight face, "I've never given birth in my life so, I cannot tell."Jennet gasped and groaned when she felt pain in her stomach. Her grip on his arm tightened. She gasped heavily. "D-do you think the babies are c-coming early in the m-morning?""I've no idea..." Hue shrugged. But, then his eyes widened when he recalled something important."Are you in labour pain?!" his loud voice nearly burst Jennet's eardrums. He just remembered the day of her due...Jennet scrunched again, "I, I don't know...but, I think my water just broke... I don't think we can make it to the hospital..." She breathed in deeply. Then, she groaned as she held her waist.Hue turned antsy before her. His brain su
Meanwhile, outside the hospital and on one of the floating islands in the sky, a fierce fight was going on. Fire spheres flew here and there. At the same time, water spheres shot back at the fires spheres, preventing them from hitting the nearby islands. Screams and cries shook the area when the island's spirits screeched in fear, thus forcing their dwellers to flee into safety. Animals and people alike were seen fleeing further into the clouds, leaving their islands."Hue, stop this madness now!" Kith shouted, and backflipped in the air when he avoided a fire sphere that was flying in his direction. While he backflipped, he shot water spheres at the fire sphere that flew past him; extinguishing the flames.Hue, who was no longer in his sane mind, ignored his plea. He had been consumed by the intent to kill and he kept firing fire spheres at a crazy speed towards the silver head.Kith was unlucky as he was hit by one and his body fell to the ground. There, he groaned in pain as numbn
"I am Jennet Lockhart!" claimed the silver-haired woman. Delton furrowed his brows. He had no idea a foreign woman had the gall to make such a claim. He had just returned from the palace and heard of something bizarre from the emperor who was reluctant to divulge the truth. His mood deteriorated after the meeting."Can you prove your claim?" he asked coldly."My ring!" she said loudly. "Hue gave me a ring as proof!"Delton glanced at her finger. There was no ring."I'm sorry, but I don't think you can play around with such a claim," he said. "Lying will add more bad deeds into your account.""I'm not lying," she slapped the bed. "I am Jennet Lockhart. Get my husband here to verify this claim!"Delton exhaled. "I'm sorry but it's improper to call upon him to verify your claim. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"How could she claim she was Jennet Lockhart when her appearance differed greatly from hers? This woman must be desperate to get away from her punishment.The woman we
'Apologies for not helping much...' added the spirit.Delton sighed. "Never mind."He turned around and gestured at the reapers to leave the place....After visiting the nursery, Jennet asked to go out for a date.Hue smiled. "I love that idea. Where do you want to go? The gardens?"He was about to get bored and she proposed such an amazing idea to kill time. He was grateful that they clicked.Jennet smiled. "Is that a great place for a meaningful date? We have not gone on a proper date before. I want it to be a proper full-day date!"Hue responded after pondering, "I guess going to the garden is great. Unless you have a place in mind.""I do have one in mind," she said. She gave him a side glance and then smiled widely, "Can we go to the market again? Just the two of us."Hue's face dropped. "The market? Again?" Disappointment was clear in his voice.Jennet leaned closer. "Please, honey. This one time, please..."Hue scratched the back of his ear, contemplating. "Uh, can we go to a
Many hours ago...After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter."That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.'West gate...'She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.Thud, thud, thud, thud...Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.Jennet furrowed. 'I remember switching on all
Hue and Jennet were downstairs when they heard loud bangs coming from upstairs.“What is that?” Jennet glanced in alarmed, half-jumping from her seat. Hue rose from his chair and assured her to sit comfortably. “I’ll go and check,” he said.“Be careful, honey.” Jennet sat down, hoping nothing bad would happen.Hue went upstairs and realised the loud bangs had come from their bedroom. He grabbed a hanger from the laundry basket near the stairs. In his grasp, the hanger morphed into a sabre.“Gomi?” he called.‘Yes, master?’ replied a voice in his head.‘Do you sense something off?’‘Apart from the spirit is ill, nothing else.’Then, Gomi’s presence vanished from his mind. Hue didn’t think much of it because he was sure Gomi and the rest of their familiars were unhappy after the twins placed them under restrained orders. In Fantasy Realm, restraining orders were considered a major distrust of the master towards the familiars. But, if the familiars were innocent, they could refuse to s
Hue woke up when something buttery and toasty hit his nose. He unfurled his eyes and saw the Smell Folk dancing in mid-air. Their dance was very graceful and beautiful, unlike usual. It seemed as if they were celebrating something that was long forgotten.He sat on the sofa and tied his long hair into a low ponytail. Yawning, he placed the bolster on the sofa bed and approached the kitchen.Standing at the entrance, he eyed his wife, whose back faced him. She was donned in the pink apron he uses when working in the kitchen. She was placing sunny-side-up eggs on a plate."Honey, I thought I would be making breakfast today," he said.Jennet turned around and smiled brightly. "I was up too early today. So, I thought of making breakfast for us since you always made it.""Why didn't you just wake me up?" he asked."You were sound asleep, and I don't want to rouse you from your peaceful sleep."Hue scratched his head and covered his mouth to yawn. "Is this your roundabout way of asking forgi
The turtle inhaled deeply. He broke into a smile. "Yes, of course, because some of the stuff I sell needs the good deed.""Oh..." Jennet nodded her head. She was confused but she had nothing to ask because she had no idea what to ask. The more she delves into the sensitive case, the more she gets confused about everything around them.After the conversation, Jennet and the twins took their time to see all of the stuff on display. The vast majority of the items were human's everyday stuff and were broken. For example, the quills without nibs, shoes without soles, cups without handles, bows without strings and the list just went on.Jennet came across a hilt, the only one among thousands of items on display. She felt a strange sense of Deja Vu as if she had seen it before."That one is notorious and dangerously powerful, but had a sad story..." The turtle gave an intro.Jennet glanced and asked, "What happened to it?" She was interested.The turtle inhaled deeply. "He was once a powerf
Jennet rolled her eyes at them. "Arro, that is not nice. Please don't blatantly harm others.""But, he disrespected you. I can't let that slide."Jennet knocked his head gently and said, "Young man, you can't do that. It was my fault he got mad. I nearly stepped on him due to my carelessness. It's understandable why he talked harshly with me.""But-""That is enough. Let us continue shopping." She stopped him before he could speak his mind. If she said nothing, he would take revenge on her behalf.Arro hesitantly responded, "...Alright."Then, the twins walked ahead of her as she followed them from behind. She heard them talking, enthusiastically, about the festival that was going at full throttle.Jennet smiled and enjoyed herself looking around the place. Suddenly, someone brushed past her and something pricked her arm."Oww!" She gasped in pain. She looked down and noticed blood bleeding through the fabric on her left arm. Grimacing, she pressed her palm onto the cut to stop the b
"Can we go to the market again?" Hue paused, reeled his hand and turned on his heels. His brows knitted at what he heard from his wife. They were in the room, making the bed. "Why? Have you forgotten that you fell ill after our first visit?" He tried to pound some sense into her head. He hoped she would cancel her plans. Jennet clasped her hands to her chest and begged, "Honey, I just want to go shopping!" Hue raised an eyebrow. "Shopping?" It was a wonder how loosely humans think about their safety. Humans love to break the rules and never learn their lesson until it is too late. Jennet nodded. "I want to bring some gifts for my family." Hue exhaled and then sighed. "Honey, I don't think that is a great idea." "Why?" "Well, in my opinion, it's best to buy the gifts in the human realm. Get something that is more of a human thing because everything here is not normal to humans." "Then, how are we going to explain about our kids to my family?" She dropped the bomb a
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
