Chapter 28 - What’s next

What's Next

[ scene: Colt and Luna are sitting on a hill overlooking the village, far from anyone]

Colt : "I think… that was the weirdest confession ever. A confession without words. And when I finally said it… You already knew."

Luna [ laughing] : "No, to me.. it was perfect. You needed to say it and I needed to hear it."

Colt : "Well, now that we know where we stand, I have to ask.. I know you said there was no turning back but, there is a lot about me you don't know. Are you sure you want to-"

Luna : "Whatever it is… that's causing you this much distress, I know one thing, you're a good kind person, that's what matters."

Colt : "How can you say that!! You know what I'm capable of doing. You know what I've already done!! And I don't even feel guilty, I'm nothing but a monster and, even worse, I'm proud of it."

Luna : "Yes, you've done plenty, you saved me, granted this village years of peace, restored my father's arm, then saved us again. If that's what a monster is, then I want to spend the rest of my life with one."

*Colt stares at Luna… tears run down his cheeks*

*Luna embraces his head and gently strokes his hair*

Colt [shocked, as touches his cheeks and look at his hand ] : "I'm… crying!! I … how long has it been??!! This hadn't happened for a long time."

Luna : "I'm happy for you."

Colt [closes his eyes, hugs Luna] : "Thank you."

I'm going to protect her… I'm going to do everything to make her happy.

She's given me a precious gift…

[In the void, the pink and violet flames increase a little more in size]

[scene: Time passes. And when Colt calmed down… the sun started to set]

Luna : "So… what's next?"

Colt : "We'll need to tell my parents…"

Luna : "Think they'll accept it?"

Colt [reminiscing about every test he put his parents through] : "After everything I've seen … yes."

Luna : "How do we do it?"

Colt : "I was thinking: you come with me."

Luna : "In a human town… how'll that work?"

Colt : "Oh, yes, you wouldn't know… let's go see your family."

*gate*

Colt : "Now, don't say a word, alright?"

Luna : "At least tell me what this is about…"

Colt : "It'd be faster to show you, besides who wouldn't want to show off to the one they love?"

*Luna's face and ears turn red.*

I love it when this happens.

"Invisibility"

*Luna vanishes*

*Knocks on the door, the door opens, it's Lana*

Lana : "Oh, Colt you're back… but, where's Luna ? "

Colt : "Let's go inside and I'll tell you."

[inside]

Zeno : "Welcome back, young man, but where is Luna? Wasn't she with you? and… did your aura get smaller?!"

*Colt starts laughing*

"Invisibility off"

*Luna appears from behind him.*

Colt : "See! That's how… and most humans can't even see auras"

*Laughs harder*

Zeno : "What is the meaning of this?!"

Luna : "Easy grandpa… Colt said he wanted me to meet his parents… and when I asked how… he planned this to show us."

Zenon [in shock] : "You can turn things invisible too? What can't you do?"

*Lana and Levi laughing in the background*

Zeno : "So that time… with Agnar."

Colt : "Yeah, you thought I snuck in… but what I really did was turn myself invisible while suppressing my aura and flew right in front of his eyes."

Zeno : "You can fly too?!"

Colt [ looking at Liam and Levi] : "I thought you'd already told him."

Liam : "The village was in crisis.."

Levi : "..So.. we forgot."

*Zenon smiles accepting the facts, Lana laughing*

Colt : "I take it, that you're okay with it ?"

Lana : "After this show… how can we not be?"

Zenon : "Besides, Luna seems eager to go…"

Wait, wha-

*Turns around , looks at Luna, sees her excited face and moving ears*

I didn't see that coming.

Luna [happy] : "I've never been to a human town before…"

Colt : "Well , if it makes you happy… Let's go"

*Raises his arm*

*A glowing gate appears*
