Some time has passed and in certain city, there was a local legend about short young girl teaching classes on academia for many years as one of the top professors. In contrast to her small frame, she was mature, wise and acted like a noble lady, with her own humor, but newer seems to age a day. People often mistake her for an honorable student. It dint help that she attend some other classes as student and conduct research on her own. She often keep forgetting that she is shorter that she though she was. She newer bow down before any adversary, even if she cant win. She had a habit to mental count, how many times she heard a specific phrase directly addressed to her, no matter if it was complimented, insulted, funny or a notable comment. All that with a youngster smile and zing as she was enjoining living her life full of attention, good or bad.
One time, she was walking from one of her lectures, notoriously (in occasions) seeking for an alternative route, as for a short adventure. Today, she totally stroll onto abandoned side alley, then into a blind spot. It was like she on purpose putting herself into a position where she can be ambushed with no option to run.
And as expected, a masked person in a long cape step down its foot, revealing its presence as it step out from the shadows. On a first glance, one can describe this individual as a mysterious assassin, to well accustomed to live in a shadows.
.
The girl turns toward the person as if she know that she is followed. "Oh… Little daisy flower… You arrived a sooner that I expected. I sensing from you, that my mistake about the true weight of the side effects, turn out to be painfully obvious. The curse is one thing, but it was the great size of my grown soul that had its special touch in the entire formula. But once again, I will say that it was me, who benefited from the youngster zing. While the matured strength insist everything."
That person step in front of that girl and knee down like a herald before its princess. Removing its hoodie and mask, it reveal of face a man who had been through many, many battles and hardships. It also was the person who once made a pact with the person standing in front of him. It even talk like someone who made a peace with himself long ago. "Before all, my mission is complete. You have my gratitude for that. Now, there is only one thing on the To Do list. I arrived to pay my price for you. I will not leave you as long, I will be capable to do it."
.
The girl stay calm. "I see, that you though a lot about this destined meeting. The same apply to me, but from the perspective of meeting an old friend after a lo~ong time. That lead me to a question: Do you even understand what that means? To be with me?"
"Yes My everything as human. Do not worry about my current state. If it wasn't you, then I will try to sold my soul to a devil. I am glad it was an angel, who I meet."
.
She throw her hands to side. "You don't know that is the same race, but different department, right?... Never mind, because of my lack on foresight, I feel a little bit guilty about you. For that, I was preparing for you arrival, by working on a solution to certain specific problem. But because I lacked the study specimen, I was working on a memory. So lets go, there is a lot to discuses and try."
"You will have my services for eternity."
.
She starts to walk gesturing for him to follow. "Once again, you have (No) idea of what that actually means: When death is just a distant memory of a wish."
He stand up to follow. "Not true… Only a glimpse. That was enough. A fine pay, when I won our debate about you don't doing anything." As those two walked away the discussion turn on a food topic.
