Chapter 3: The Revealing

I eagerly looked at the creature with wide eyes, trying to make sense of it. As it turned……..it was him with horns on its head. I was shocked and my mind went crazy. How could a human have horns over its head?!

Meanwhile Viktor smirks at me and teases me with his gorgeous eyes.

I was still in shock, trying to make sense of what I just saw. I looked at him and tried to have a conversation with him but no words came out of my mouth.

He looked down at me, staring and said softly almost like he is whispering to me: Done staring, little kitten? I must say you look adorable when you stare like that.

I had no words, my face had grown into as red as a tomato. I shook my head, trying to seem normal, I looked away for a few minutes and took deep breaths to calm myself.

I finally looked at him and asked in a quiet almost like a child trying to speak.

I finally find the courage and askedhim: so……what? I mean how are horns there?

He looked at me and said: I told you yesterday too. I am not a human.

I was quiet for some moment, trying to find the right words for it. I looked at him and then asked: then what are you?!

I kinda sounded like I was trying to make myself feel less like a fool but I was still kinda embarrassed about the way I acted before.

He smiles and said: I am a lost soul in this world, trying to find my place. I was never born as a human, I was born for something else, I still can’t figure out about.

I looked at him: a lost soul? So you came from heaven? What’s it like there?

He laughs to see me curious about all this and said: maybe you could say I am from heaven, but you know not every thing you assume is great. Heaven is hard at its own place too.

I look away trying to understand then I shrug it off and changed the subject: so you have special powers?

He looks at me: every creature in this world has a special power, you have a special power too, I have it too and this forest which we are in has a power too. We just have to find it.

I smiled at him: you talk just like my mom, she was like this too, always giving out quotes like these to me and my dad.

He nods and took my hand and tugged me to follow him.

At first, my face burnt a bit, the feeling of his hand in mine and to walk together but I try to keep that feeling inside me and I continued following him.

For about an hour we walked and walked, and I was tired and stopped him to ask;m: how long will it take more to reach wherever you are taking me?

He smiled with those blue eyes of his, shimmering in the brightness from the sun: just a bit more, trust me.

We started walking again and we reached a beautiful place- 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐲, 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡, 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭

All this was like a dream come true. I was amazed, and in excitement I give him gentle smacks on his back and he shakes his head smiling.

I almost screamed: How did you find it?!!

He looks at me: it’s my most favorite place ever, I was born here, and it’s like my second home after that temple you saw where I actually live.

I was still in shock, I ran to the river and played with the water and went in and called out: come on! Let’s play together

I splashed the water at him.

He joined me in too and we played for hours untill the sun set and at night it felt like I was in a different world. I wanted to live here forever.

He smiled at me and laid beside me on the grass.

He asked softly: are you enjoying it?

And I excitedly said: of course I am!!! I wanna live here

He smiled and said: I would love a company too

And that way, we shared our thoughts and spent the night at that magical place together…………….
