Chapter 2 The Meeting
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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 called out for Sister Lily.
“Oh I broke my glasses” Justine said as he picked up his round eye-glasses on the floor
“I am s-sorry” Stella answered
“U-uh?!” Leis was taken a back and drop his glasses “O-oh no! I-it’s not your fault!” he said stuttering as he shakes his hand left and right. A blood comes out on his nose and Stella jump on her feet, feeling the electricty craw up on her knees.
“O-oh no! you are bleeding!” she said as she abruptly pulled out her handkerchief and put it on Justine nose “I am really sorry” she said. Their knees suddenly give up on them taking back the adrenalin rush they once have.
Stella looks at Justine, unknowingly their eyes met. A burst of laughter comes out, filling up the dusty old library. Droplets of tears drop from Stella eyes as her heart continue to laugh on what just happened. They catches their breathe for a second and chuckle for more
Sister Lily and Aeriol comes running finding the two clumsy head on the floor laughing.
"S-stella" Aeriol called out. She waves at Aeriol with her gentle smile as usual, while Justine fix his hair a little and hold the handkerchief on his nose. As soon as he reaches Stella, he checked for wounds and bruises. She smiled, thinking how Aeriol acted like a mother hen towards her. Forgetting about the throbbing ankle to the fear of getting scolded. Hence, a mother hen never misses any pain. The clumsy Stella received a cold look from him, and a good scolding when they got home. Aeriol immediately lift her up and carry her to the table. "Your leg" a crest on his forehead formed
"Just a small sprain" she answered
"It is not" he protest as he carefully removed Stella's shoes. He pulled out the roll of bandage and gently wrap her ankle.
"Where is Lynx?!" he asked
"Oh, we are looking for Lala. We split up" she answered
"He shouldn't let you alone. What if it was not just a----"
"Konnichiwa!!" Lynx greeted. As soon as he entered the library dagger of eyes were immediately throwed at him.
"HEY!" Nathaniel called out as he tries to catch his breathe. This is death for Lynx, not just a friendly death but death death. As he roams his eyes he saw a nose bleeding man, Aeriol wrapping Stella's ankle, the scattered books and broken stair, Father Rhen pilling books back on the shelves, and lastly is Nathaniel with his fiery rage.
"O-ok" he stuttered and chuckled as he raise his arms "Let's just all calm down" he said slowly as he tries to step on his right little by little "Everything can be fix by good communication" after he said that he sprinted away not leaving any of his presence behind.
"Get that man!" Aeriol shouted and gasp of wind blow on the direction of Lynx while Nathaniel continued to run after him. Stella laugh on everyone reactions, especially the way Aeriol shouted. Lynx looks like a theif or a killer that the detectives had been looking for.
"This is not a laughing matter young lady" Aeriol said. Stella immediately closed her mouth and nod obediently 'It is' she said to herself
"Master" a man in black tailed coat came in "Oh Dear" his eyes widened and run towards to Justine
"Thank you for the treatment" Justine said as he slowly stood up and pick up the book Stella was holding before. "Father Rhen, the books are already with Tala hope they can be useful for the children" he said as he hand over an envelope.
"Thank you Justine, would you like some cup of tea?" Father Rhen asked
"N-no I need to leave" he said
"We apologies for this" Sister Lily said as she lowers her head
"It is no one's fault"
"Master are you ok?" he asked
"Dont worry, I just slip and fell." he answered
"We need to take you to the doctor immediately" he said agitatedly
"I am fine, can you pull over the car? I want to rest"
"Yes" he respond politely
Justin Gatchallian is one of the main donor in the orphanage. He always has a weak body and moving for just a hour really put a strain on his body.
He walks towards Stella and Aeriol stood up "Hope you'll get well soon" he said and hand over the book to her. He slightly bend over and whispered "Nice meeting you"
"I am too and thank you for saving me" Stella said and hugs the book
"Thank you for saving her" Aeriol said as he extended his hand
"I never felt more alive" he said as he shake Aeriol's hand.
"I'll get going now" he said and went on.
Aeriol stared at the man until his figure blurs.
"A-Aeriol?" Stella called out
"Yeah, I am sorry just zone out" he immediately responded "I will just help Sister Lily and the others" he said. Stella nods as she watches Aeriol walks away. She opens up the book and this time there are words written on it.
This is the day they meet again, the stars were out and moon is shinning brightly. His heart is dwindling on the wicked fire as he once set foot to save his Princess. Memories are ajar and her heart is in scatter. A flower blooms tonight as one of the fragments reappears
Then below there is a painting of a green vast land, dark sky, stars, and moon. Stella smiled finding comfort on the painted picture. She brush her index finger on it, but like a wet ink she smudge the beautiful scene. She immediately rub the green ink on her finger to her skirt and close the book. She looked at Aeriol and Sister Lily tidying things up, no one seems to notice but her heart leaps higher than the height she fell into.

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
MoonLight Chapter 3.1 Who am I
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
MoonLight Chapter 4 The First Fragment
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"

“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
