As soon as the cadence melody of the mystique nature, along with the sweet little chirp of the wide awake aves reverbrated around the sleeping forest, Dazea's soul begin to fired up again in color.
If common entities addiction is what have been prohibited by law, Dazea's own stimulant is the authentic and magical beauty of the eco-life.
Well, it might be a little unbelievable for a young adult to be deeply attracted in nature, however, the lady was kinda born different among all the kids in town.
She's nothing but the unseen diamond.
Despite the fact that she possessed along her name the remarkable surname "Azures", she was never been prominent like how her glorious ancestors were.
If all of them— the blooded Azures, left a mark on each of the hearts in town, Dazea is the complete opposite. She's nothing in everyone's eyes but a rare diamond which will never be essential.
Nobody look at her, nobody dare to gaze much longer than five seconds. Nobody wants to touch her, and that? she doesn't know why.
The only thing which is clear, is that loneliness honed her to be the nature's child. And no doubt, as day by day faded, she became contented in solitude.
She never wishes for more....well, not until she met him..
"I will be swimming on a falls under the moonlight beam?!!!!"
Imagining one of her before-to-die-list would be accomplished, Dazea giggled in joy.
Almost pushing the man out of the way, Dazea quickly motioned to run, but immediately got stopped— when Arden's hand tightly hold her wrist.
" You are really stupid, aren't you?!"
Dazea brows immediately furrowed.
" Huh? "
" Can't you see it's still dark? Do you really have to run like an idiot who haven't been on water for years?! " Arden exclaimed, obviously handling his uplifting tone..
But the lady didn't understand where he is coming from, thus she answered him with a question too.
" Huh? So.. what's wrong?"
But not a minute passed, the lady's eye grow wider, lips gleaming in joy, eyes full of admiration, and soul burning up in excitement, as she concluded a silly reason for the man foreign movement!
" Oh! Don't tell me you really care for me ange— awe! "
And with no more words he awaits, Arden violently dropped the lady's wrist as if there's something on it he despise.
" You wish. Angel like me won't low down just to pay attention to idiots. " He immediately winced in denial.
But instead of being insulted by the bladed words, the lady almost laughed overjoyed as she witnessed Arden sudden reaction.
" Pft! Alright, alright handsome angel! " She said, trying not to burst out in mocking satisfaction.
" Okay, you didn't care at all. I know angel, I knowwwww! The stains in your suit? As well as the dirt in your hands? Oh yes, that explains that you didn't reaaaaaaally care to m— "
" Oh just shut up and leave, human! " And with that, the lady's unwomanly laugh echoed in the whole woods. While at the same time, Arden perfectly skilled brows furrowed in annoyance.
" Pft okay! I won't run, just don't yell my dear angel. " Dazea unrestrainedly laughed as she mumbled the words, while the man, on the other hand, seems unpleased on what's happening.
Trying to calm his boiling head, he respires deep and smiled sarcastically as if he's giving a dangerous warning. He then uttered showing an obvious trail of annoyance on his tone;
" You walk ahead and wash yourself quick, or I will walk alone myself, and leave you here?!"
" Hey, no! You brought me along so don't you dare leave without me! "
" Then stop playing and quickly walk ahead. The falls is near. "
" You won't be coming with me? "
And for the ninth time of the night, his brows furrowed in annoyance.
" You stupid. Of course I won't. I'll be staying here. "
Dazea immediately understand what the angel means, therefore, she didn't asked neither tease him more.
But as she walks ahead, slowly leaving the man under a large tree, she never felt worried of anything. She walks confident that as soon as she will be back, he's still there patiently waiting for her.
And for the first time, on her own day, she smiles with no mixture of grief, pain, and self-comfort — but peace.
" Oh god, what have you given me... " She enclapsed her warm hands together , and whispered words to the almighty that are filled with nothing else but endless gratitude and happiness.
***
Watching Dazea's silhouette slowly vanishing in Arden's eyes, he immediately sat on a large ancient root, as the sight remains on where the lady have gone to.
And not longer than a minute, his own mind unknowingly wondered on the destined Nerveri.
' Really? I can't believe she's the destined hope for my kind. She's too naive, as well as quite silly to holds the race future! Pft! '
And as he reminisce all the silliness he witnessed since the first moment he laids his eyes on her, an unexplainable unusual curved suddenly formed on his stolid facade, that even Arden, himself, was shocked by it.
"Oh human, what have you done? "
***
As soon as Dazea's eyes witnessed the falls the angel have uttered, she's left with nothing but awe and amusement.
" Oh heavenly god..... "
Her body starts to burned up again in unmeasurable happiness imagining that of one of her before-to-die list will be accomplished on the same day she was born.
Truth be told, since she was kid, she dreamed to venture the aquatic beauty of the nature while under the beam of her undying friend— the moon. But she failed to accomplished it earlier, because of the roaring fear brought by the woods which made her soul weakened.
Aside from that, town's people babbled about something related to a mystical place which was filled with majestic entities. It was told that once you get lost at night, and you accidentally entered their world, you won't be back again unless you offered something.
Yet nobody's certain if the tale was true.... Nobody was sure at all.
" Am I still on the mortal land...? " Dazea whispered in amusement as she couldn't dare to believe that this particular place truly exist.
The falls seems simple, yet there's something on it which is indeed unexplainable and extraordinary among others.
But she couldn't figure it out...
Recovering from being deeply amused by the magnificent masterpiece of the almighty's skillful hands, Dazea quickly run into the water and immediately swam the depth of it's beauty.
She swim and swim as if she's dancing with the soothing rhythm of the night.
The cadence melody of the birds.... the quiet dropped of the falls.... the gentle wind from the east..... the lovely water as it flows.... the crickets on the hide— she's insanely dancing along with it.
She never stop until her body says "no" in tiredness.
Gasping for air, she chose to rest in the middle of the falls, floating with it's pure majestic-like water.
The cold breeze immediately wrapped her pale skin, yet the gentle beamed of the moon took all the freezing factor away.
Savouring the beauty of the quiet night, Dazea look upon the moon up ahead. Along with it, she unknowingly lift her hands above, as if she's trying to touch the divine moon whom silently illuminating the darkness of the woods.
After a moment, she whispered in silence;
" Did I chose the right path, my friend? "
And with no longer a minute she awaits, the gentle touched of the wind immediately answered in response. And with that, Dazea chuckles softly.
" So, do the gentle blow signifies a yes? Or a no? "
But along with her usual quiet night in solitude that was always ruined by her wicked stepmom, Dazea's spine petrified in fear, when a voice that hissed like a snake, along with a growling voice of a frightening creature, dangerously echoed not so far from her back.
" Finally... after centuries of waiting, you're almost mine, Nerveri..."
