In a realm unseen by mortal eyes, high above the mundane world, the God of Earth paced anxiously within his ethereal palace. His name was Zephyrus, a deity more acquainted with worry than with wrath. The grand hall was lined with clouds that shimmered like silver, but even their beauty couldn't soothe his frayed nerves.
"Luna! Where are you?" Zephyrus called out, his voice echoing through the celestial chambers.
From behind a wispy curtain of stardust, a small fairy with iridescent wings fluttered lazily into view. Her name was Luna, and she was renowned among fairies for her unparalleled ability to nap anywhere, anytime.
"What is it now, Lord Zephyrus?" she asked, suppressing a yawn.
(Can't a fairy get some sleep around here?)
Zephyrus wrung his hands together, his eyes darting nervously. "It's him. That boy—Alfred."
Luna arched an eyebrow. "Alfred? The human? What about him?"
(Probably another one of his overblown concerns.)
Zephyrus gestured toward a translucent pool reflecting scenes from Earth. In it, Alfred sat alone in his clubroom, his stern expression causing yet another misunderstanding among his classmates.
"Look at him! Every step he takes, every move he makes—it's unsettling!" Zephyrus exclaimed.
Luna glanced at the pool, then back at Zephyrus. "He seems... pretty normal to me."
(And kind of boring, to be honest.)
"Normal? Did you see how his classmates scatter like leaves in the wind? He's a menace to the balance of my world!" Zephyrus insisted.
Luna rubbed her temples. "Maybe if you stopped spying on him, you'd feel better."
(Or maybe I could get back to my nap.)
Zephyrus began pacing again. "I can't just ignore him! What if his aura of intimidation grows stronger? What if he starts... affecting things?"
"Like what? Causing more rumors?" Luna retorted.
(This is ridiculous.)
Zephyrus stopped and turned to her, eyes wide with fear. "Exactly! Rumors lead to fear, fear leads to chaos, and chaos disrupts the harmony of Earth!"
Luna sighed deeply. "So, what do you propose we do about it?"
(Please don't say anything that involves me.)
"We need to... remove him from Earth," Zephyrus declared, his voice dropping to a whisper.
Luna blinked slowly. "You want to eliminate a human because he looks scary?"
(That's a bit extreme, even for him.)
"Not eliminate! Just... relocate," Zephyrus clarified hastily. "There's a world called Eldoria—a place of magic and adventure. He'd fit right in there."
Luna crossed her arms. "And you want me to send him there?"
(Figures he'd rope me into this.)
"Precisely! You can guide him through a portal and ensure he stays there," Zephyrus said, nodding fervently.
She shook her head. "Why me? Can't you send one of your other celestial beings?"
(Or better yet, handle it yourself.)
Zephyrus looked at her with pleading eyes. "Because you're the only one I trust with this delicate task. Plus, you're already familiar with the process of interworld travel."
Luna rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine. I'll do it."
(The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can get back to sleep.)
"Thank you, Luna! You're doing the cosmos a great service," Zephyrus said, visibly relaxing.
She fluttered over to the pool, watching Alfred as he poked at his bento in solitude. "He doesn't look that dangerous to me."
(Just a lonely guy with a bad case of resting stern face.)
"Don't be deceived by appearances!" Zephyrus warned. "Now, how soon can you set up the portal?"
Luna snapped her fingers nonchalantly. "It's already done. The door in his clubroom will lead him straight to Eldoria."
(Maybe this will be quick and painless.)
Zephyrus sighed with relief. "Excellent. Now, we must ensure he steps through it."
As they watched, the door in Alfred's clubroom began to emit a mysterious glow. Alfred looked up, curiosity evident in his eyes.
"He notices it," Luna observed.
(Of course he does. Who wouldn't notice a glowing door?)
"Good, good," Zephyrus muttered, wringing his hands again.
Alfred stood up and walked toward the door, hesitation momentarily flickering across his face before he stepped through.
"And there he goes," Luna said.
(Well, that was easy.)
Zephyrus beamed. "Wonderful! Now, all we need to do is make sure he stays there."
Luna turned to leave. "Great. My part is done. I'll be heading back now."
(Time to catch some Z's.)
"Wait!" Zephyrus exclaimed, blocking her path. "You have to go with him!"
She stared at him incredulously. "Excuse me?"
(Oh no, I did not sign up for a babysitting gig.)
"You need to accompany him to Eldoria and ensure he doesn't find a way back to Earth," Zephyrus insisted. "Who knows what could happen if he's left unattended!"
Luna threw her hands up. "Unbelievable. First, you want me to send him away, and now you want me to play chaperone?"
(This day just keeps getting better.)
"Please, Luna! It's imperative for the safety of our world," Zephyrus pleaded.
She groaned. "Fine, but you owe me big time for this."
(He better grant me a century-long vacation after this.)
"Anything you want!" Zephyrus agreed hastily.
With a resigned sigh, Luna waved her wand, enveloping herself in a soft glow. "I'll keep an eye on him, but don't expect hourly reports."
(Because I'll be napping whenever possible.)
"Thank you, Luna. You're the most reliable fairy I could ask for," Zephyrus said gratefully.
She smirked. "Don't push it."
(Flattery won't make me less annoyed.)
In a flash of light, Luna transported herself to Eldoria, materializing just as Alfred emerged on the other side of the portal. He stood there, eyes wide with wonder as he took in the fantastical landscape.
"Finally, Isekai!!!" Alfred shouted, arms raised in triumph.
Luna hovered invisibly nearby, observing him.
(At least he's enjoying himself. Maybe he won't be too much trouble.)
Alfred began strategizing his next move, talking about finding a damsel in distress to save.
She shook her head.
(He's in for a surprise. Eldoria isn't exactly a storybook.)
As Alfred set off on his misguided quest, Luna found a comfortable spot on a nearby floating flower and settled down.
"Well, since he's busy, I might as well rest," she murmured.
(I deserve it after all this hassle.)
Back in his celestial palace, Zephyrus watched them through his own pool. Seeing Luna accompanying Alfred, he finally allowed himself to relax.
"Perhaps now, Earth can return to its peaceful monotony," he mused.
He settled into his throne, but not before casting one last wary glance at the pool.
"I hope Luna can handle him," he whispered.
(And that I won't have to intervene again.)
Meanwhile, in Eldoria, Alfred unknowingly walked a path that would intertwine his fate with that of a lazy fairy and a nervous god.
As Luna drifted into slumber, she couldn't help but think:
(Maybe this won't be so bad after all. If he stays out of trouble, I can get some quality sleep.)
Little did she know, Alfred's penchant for misunderstandings was just getting started.
