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 crawled out to mind "Why won't you join us on a game" he said
"I dont condone on any childish pranks or games as such" he said with his nice british accent
"Then what if I told you, it was set by Aeriol" Lynx said copying the accent of Nathaniel's.
"I don't think he have" he replied. Lynx come closer to Nathaniel's ears and whispered "We can't tell Stella, but it seems like Lala is missing. Aeriol is talking with Xeron right now seeking his help" he said eighty percent lie and twenty percent truth. Lynx eyes widened and clears his throat.
"Then, we must go" he said sharply"yay! Great!" Lynx leap joyfully "So, Stella and Nath whoever finds Lala first wins! Go!" Lynx screamed
"I t-thought---"
"ss-sshh Stella, our dear Nath is helping us." then he winks. In Stella's mind it is like setting up Lala and Nath together. She doesn't really have to find her find her but just to let them cross path together.
"I'll go to the library" Stella shout and brisk walk to the library while Nathaniel went near the woods and Lynx the silly little fellow whose presence seem to be unnoticeable followed Nathaniel on the woods.
Nathaniel felt like someone's is following him "pistol' he whispered and fire shape like pistol formed on his left hand. The pistols was silver with red firery linings all over. He heard footsteps and a voice which he knows for sure belongs to Lalaine. His steps were slower and sneakier, he hides at a tree and jumps out "Hold out your hand!" he fiercelesly shouted. Lalaine who is holding a basket of flowers immediately stood up and hide the two girls behind her.
"W-what the hell!" she screamed "Are you killing us?!" blood rushes on Nathaniel's face but his tan complexion seemed to hide it. Lynx whose been hiding all this time comes out laughing out loud "Hold out your hand" he said immittating Nathaniel's serious tone.
The man already had his fun, it is time to kill him for good. That was the words running on Nathaniel's mind as he loaded his gun. Lynx who is still laughing out loud slowly backing away as he keeps immitating Nathaniel sexy british accent.
"Time to die!" Nathaniel's screamed and runs after Lynx who is now trying to save his life from the angry beast.
"hey man I am just joking!" he said still laughing as Nathaniel's continuously run after him.
Lalaine shook her head and let the two little boys run after the other.
"It looks like the grown up are more childish than we are" she whispered and smiled at the two girls.
She went back holding hands with the two girls, they run towards to one of the Nun and showed their beautifuly braid hair.
At the library, Stella roam around and looking at the wide varieties of books. For her this looks more like an orphanage for old books. Suddenly, a book on top shelf caught her attention, she grab the step-up-stairs. She climb up and pulled out the book out of the shelf. "The Moon Princess" was written on the front, the author was not there and as she flips the pages she haven't seen a single word. She noticed on the back cover of the book there is small stone imbued in it. As her curiosity hightens, she touches the stone and something pierce her finger. The book lights up, she immediatel closed it and hold it near her chest. Maybe the stairs are just old or maybe her shoes was just slippery, she lost her balance pulling the book shelve down with her. The man immediately drop the pile of books he is holding and runs towards her. The shelve and books slammed on his back making him grind, while Stella's right leg was caught on the books falling.
She opens her eyes feeling the pinching pain on her leg and the soft brut arms that catches her
"Are you ok?" he asked. Stella's eyes widened, her heart starts to give her a riddle 'Are you in the dream again?'
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
Lalaine was shocked when she found Stella laying on the floor, the moon light illuminates her like flittering lights in the night. The crystal orbs surrounds her, slowly lifting her from the ground. She immediately called out Nana, Aeriol, Nathaniel, and Lynx. Aeriol immediately pull out Stella from the illuminating light and lay her to bed. Nathaniel and Lynx looks out the window and saw a beautiful red rose. As if the moon light blessing it. The more light it absorb, the radiant the color gets. Lynx trails back to Leis last words."The light of the first moon will lead you to it. The chorus of the song that will wake her up in a dream. Fragments of fragments will show. Her powers can destroy or restore. Wicked is the heart that love and weaker is the love that steals. Who owns the priestess that no one can steal?""Aeriol!" Lynx called out "We need to seal the flower" he said and jumps out from the window followed b
Stella’s head is pinching her hard, as she squints her eyes to the first ray of sun slips on her window. This is different, she is different. She feels like someone is gripping her heart and wanting it to stop beating.“You are my Luan”she remembers him saying. She is Luan, the orb showed her that. Then who is Stella? Who are these people caring for her and loving her? She shouldn’t be crying, it is still early. Her palms are sweating and her mind is running in deep. She is lost, if she could only close her and eyes then go back to the dream she had. Maybe, just maybe Aelius can tell her more.She holds her breath as she heard the door crack open. There is Lalaine peeking.What should Stella say to her, can she ask her who s
Aeriol immediately receives a call from James. He looked for Nathaniel and immediately went to the crime scene. They saw Gram hogging all the publicity and reporters"This is surely the work of Jack-the-ripper." Gram said as he brushes his mustache with his fingers."Do you have any clue who is the Jack-the-ripper?" one of the reporters asked"Definitely!" he answered concealing the fact they got no one on the suspect list "We can't just release anything for now. We are trapping our prey" Gram said as he laughs proudly"Maybe he is the killer" Nathaniel murmured making Aeriol smirk"Now, now, let's look at this scene"
“The thing about being a detective is the mystery, the clues left by the Murderer. Right now, we are getting closer” Gram said as the Reporters continues snapping photos of him and the wrapped-in-the-blanket-Officer-James.“Poor little James” Lynx said as he keeps snapping photos of the crime scene and Nathaniel's pissed-off-looked.“By the way, why a graduate in Philosophy is here?” Nathaniel snaps“Oh my, Remember I am a consultant” he winks. Nathaniel rolls his eyes and tries to disregard Lynx's entire presence.“We should get going,” Aeriol said“You know the killer?” Nathaniel asked in surprise
"You're back," he said. As he pulls Stella closer to him. The warmth and the heartbeat, he can feel it all. As he lay his lips on her forehead, remembering the day he first held her. He holds Stella hands as if it is his and only his. Walking through the meadows as her skirt brushes the familiar yellow flowers. She saw these on the fragments Aeriol gave her, they were a vase of yellow flowers in her room."This is one of our dreams," he said, stopping and held both of Stella's hands. "Stars are shining brightly," he said. Stella looked up and saw how the stars shine brighter in here. There is no moon but the field is light up by thousands of stars and fireflies."I got one of my fragments today," she said looking back to Aelius "I remember you, Lynx, and some details about Lalaine" she smiled as tears rolled down "They never left me," she added"So am I and will I.." pulling her a little more closer. "Luan, you may not remember all but your soul always and will remember" pu
“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
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
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
Another day has come, sunlight seeps through his window as his gorgeous blue eyes squint."Master your breakfast is ready," Fafnir said as he open up the curtains. The garden outside looks lush as ever, as fields of furze, bushes of different colored roses, and beautiful yellow dahlias make the sunny day jollier. Justine smiled and slowly sit up. His unsettled bangs are pushed back complimenting his sea rover-blue eyes and bristly eyebrows make Fafnir wonder why his good-looking master never gotten a fish in the sea. 'Oh yeah, the unsettling bangs' he said to himself"What?" Justine asked"Nothing" he responded quickly, then clears his throat and shrugs his shoulders "You must prepare now, you have a date this afternoon, and you have a pile of documents that needs to review"
"You're back," he said. As he pulls Stella closer to him. The warmth and the heartbeat, he can feel it all. As he lay his lips on her forehead, remembering the day he first held her. He holds Stella hands as if it is his and only his. Walking through the meadows as her skirt brushes the familiar yellow flowers. She saw these on the fragments Aeriol gave her, they were a vase of yellow flowers in her room."This is one of our dreams," he said, stopping and held both of Stella's hands.
