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 "Must go now" as she sprinted to the orphanage Library
"S T E L L A!" she screamed.
"Oh my!" Stella was taken-a-back and smiled. Her second mother came.
"What happened?" she immediately holds her bestfriends hand and her eyes seems to be looking for something that might give her a clue on what happened.
"Just fell from the stairs, it is no biggie" she said with the soft smile on her lips and eyes shinning than it was before. She noticed the blush on her best friend face and the grin she thought was lost long ago. When was the last time she smiled like this..
Ah! Yes, it was the day when she said 'I think I love him' and things went all wrong from there. The day where things were blissful as the night falls then suddenly, all of her being got swollen.
"Remove that worried look" Stella said "I am fine" she added "In fact---"
"Don't say it" she interrupted
"Don't say what?" she asked confusingly
She was pulled back to the reality, the present of the matter, and just the present. She chuckled removing the uneasiness in the air. "Dont say that you are fine and your ankle can kick a horse toosh" she said and they both laugh
"Toosh?" she asked "Who say that word now a days?" she laughs
"Well, I do, and it’s cool. TOOOSSSH" she said dragging the words and giving it a rhythm "TOOOOSSSSH" they both sang
"So you're saying?" Lala asked
"I am saying, in fact I met a guy and I feel something special about him" she said as she tries to lower her voice as if the other guy is just inside the room.
"Hmmm" Lalaine took a glance at Aeriol, briefly their eyes met.
"Yeah, he save me from the fall" she softly bites her lower lip
"Hey, dont fall in love ok!" Lala warned "It is not ok to fall in love to a stranger" she added
"I know, it is just that momentarily I felt he is the man in my dreams"
"ohhhhh" Lala sways her hips "Is he handsome in person?"
"Can't say" Lala pouts and sit next to her as they both watch Aeriol struggle lifting the box of books.
"I wish all those books fall on you" Lala whispered
"Hey!" Stella said
"Sorry" then she chuckled
On the other side of the orphanage, Nathaniel is sitting beside Lynx unconscious body. Then a man wearing an odd-looking-clothes comes forward along with Xeron.
"Master" the man quickly bowed down as well as Xeron "The man seem to be just an ordinary human; his nose keeps squirting blood” he said looking a bit worried “Although the skills of the man in tail-coat quite surpassed humans. He noticed me when I follow them out" he added.
“Thank you Lavrel, glad their meeting is just a mere coincidence” Nathaniel said “How about the killings?” he asked
"Yes, Lord Aeriol had received the package" Xeron responded "The library was imbued with magic as Lord Lynx suspected but this magic didn't come from any kingdoms" he said and give a parchment like paper to Nathaniel.
“Lafiere” Nathaniel chanted. A white smoke comes out on the paper and it smells like mud. “This is ancient magic, the one was used by witches and sage along time ago. This is used for protection. The seal can only be broken if the owner of the treasure claims it back” he said snapping his fingers three times until the smoke and fire disappear.
Lynx slowly opens his eyes as he is done listening. He sit up, Xeron give him an indigo colored stone that they used in absorbing the magic in the library.
"How about her memories?" Lynx asked "Do you have a clue where we can find them?" they lowered their head, there is no clue at all where they can find the lost memories.
"We still can't find a thing" the man said
"We only have limited time" Lynx said as he sat up "Continue the search, and please don't let anyone notice you"
"Yes!" they responded in chorus and disappear.
"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?" Lynx said as if the words are some of magical clues that can give him all the answers.
"Our first clue is the first moon, we waited for the new moon but nothing happened and tonight will be the first full moon after that incident" Nathaniel said
"Who own the priestess that no one else can steal..." Lynx repeated "If only we know where the King is, we might know the answers of all this."
"He disappeared too, along the memories of the Priestess" he sighed "As Aeriol said, no one knows if the King is the real owner. No one can own her." he added “Maybe, just maybe Leis is right. The King had died.” he said retracing himself back.
“We are not sure, Leis is still asleep. We are not sure” Nathaniel protest.
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
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"
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
“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
