This is the continuation, and the second part of the (as planned) ADOLITSO Trilogy. This story picks up where the ADOLITSO: PROLOGUE left off, with Faize arriving on Lemuris.

Pairing: Of course, FaiLym.

Chapter 1.

Bit hesitantly, he streched out his hand which held the flower, and gently put it in in her pigtail.

Not really knowing what to do, he let his hand to reach out for her.

She sorrowfully looked down, and began to turn towards his way.

As soon as she noticed his hand, she cautiously looked up at him, and – to his surprise- she seemed surprised.

So she can now show emotion...? All thanks to... me? Faize thought.

Moments later, her surprised expression turned into a smile.

With a slow movement, she also reached up, but with both hands, and Faize also reached for her other hand. Hand in hand, they stood, staring at each other, both of them smiling, and not saying a word. It was their reunion, and should not be ruined with sensless words.

Because no words could describe the emotions they both felt.

They both missed each other.

They both had questions for each other.

But more importantly – they now had each other. Just she and him.

Together.

They stood like this for minutes. A small breeze passed by, ruffling both of their hairs' and making small petals of flowers dance in in the air, slightly brushing their faces.

A pair of violet eyes were locked into the smaller, golden orbs.

He was afraid what would she say. He didn't know what to say, but Lymle seemed to be alright with him returning out of the blue.

Suddenly, the golden orbs turned into stony, silver eyes, and his vertical position dramatically turned into horizontal with a burst of pain in his back and chest. Not to mention the immense warmth and growl that came from very close to his face...

"No! Doggie, get down from Faize!" Lymle's paniced, soft voice called.

Faize's eyes turned into saucers as the vicious demon dog still growled at him, his teeth bared inches away from his nose. Fear gripped his whole being,

"U-uhm, good to see you too, C-Cerberus." Faize managed to stutter as he shook beneath the unholy being. This was only oil to the fire, as Cerberus growled more and in a lower tone.

"Doggie! Get back now!" Lymle yelled and to Faize's utter surprise, the dog snapped his head back, and with an unbearable whine, he walked back to Lymle, who gave her dog the most angry stare Faize ever saw from Lymle.

"Don't ever do that to Faize again, kay?" she gave Cerberus a slap on the head and he whined even more, "I taught you tricks to amaze him, not to scare him away! You are a bad doggie indeed. Go back now." with a last, puppy-eyes stare, he disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Are you alright?" Lymle walked up to him, who was now in a sitting position. He gave her a smile,

"Yes. I'm fine. I bet he was angry at me for leaving you..." he looked away from her, to his toes.

"You know..." Lymle began, "I was angry at you in the beginning too." Faize closed his eyes, waiting for the rain of anger to shower on him, "But... I understand your feelings, kay?" He looked up at him, in awe. She was smiling again.

She looks so much prettier when smiling...

"But what you did doesn't matter now. You weren't the bad guy. Those Gregory were."

"Those were Grigori." He corrected her, smiling and stood up, dusting off himself. He then glanced at her, and noticed, she now was in level with his chest. "Oh my, you've grown, Lymle!"

"Of course I did, you dummy." She chuckled, "My curse was broken. But you could see that with your own eyes on that planet." She looked at him, beaming with happiness. Moments later, she noticed something,

"You are not wearing that cloak..." she began. Faize nodded,

"Yes."

"But... I told you that it looked kinda okay on you..." she seemed puzzled. Faize couldn't help, but chuckle, and he put his hand on the top of her head,

"And I also told you that I will wear it till I convince you it looks good. Hence it happened, I thought if I wanted to return to you, the best would be to dispose of it."

"That doesn't sound so logical, kay." Lymle blinked up at him from beneath his hand. "So... to put it simply... you took it off so I wouldn't be that angry at you. That's the real reason, isn't it?"

Faize couldn't hide his smile, "Not only you have matured biologically, your mental age has finally caught up with you. I'm impressed."

She pouted at him and now hid her eyes beneath her fringe and Faize pulled his hand away.

Lymle then asked, "And what are you planning to do, Faize? Did you just... visit?" her voice seemed to crack a little. The boy blushed and cleared his throat,

"I'm not exactly sure... I guess... I wanted to know how you... you behave when you learn I'm still alive." he said cautiously, carefully picking the right words.

"In that case..." she now looked up, her face once again beaming, "You must stay here, kay?"

Faize felt mixed feelings. One was utter surprise, and the second was the feeling of warmth and comfort. Could he... really stay here?

"You sure, Lymle?" he asked hesitantly, "Can you forgive me... after all that I done?"

"I told you before, that I understood your feelings about that time." she now sounded serious and so did her expression change, "I would not forgive you however, if you would leave me again."

"Am I glad to hear that your vocabulary has expanded too." his sarcastic sentence this time recieved a response. With a mischevious glint in her eye, Lymle tackled him in the stomach. Faize didn't really brace himself for such a contact so they both ended up rolling down till the foot of the small hill.

It took him some time to readjust his sight and after a couple of blinks, the face of a fake-angry Lymle, covered in grass appeared before him,

"I'm not a kid anymore, kay? Guess what, my range of possibilities had widened and expanded too!" she snapped at him, sitting ontop of him.

"Uhm... that might get one's mind to the wrong idea, Lymle." Faize said after a couple of moments of silence.

"You pervert! I meant symbology!" Lymle shrieked and slapped his head gently. She sprang away from him, and showed her back to him.

"Geez, Lymle... You've absorbed too much from Reimi." The poor Eldarian boy rubbed the top of his head, even though it didn't even hurt.

"So did you from Edge." she said, her back still facing him.

"Edge? How come it's not Edgie this time?" he stood up once again, trying to get the grass off of him.

"I've matured, kay?"

"I see." he rolled his eyes, then shifted his mood once again to serious, "I have a question though..."

Hearing his serious tone, she turned back to him, no sign of childishness or pouting visible on her features, "Yes?"

"Um... where will I live?" he asked dumbly, fidgeting a bit on his spot. She gave him a warm smile again, and he felt his insides melting instantly,

"You dummy Faize. With me of course. I don't want you to leave again, kay? So I must keep my eyes on you. To make sure you don't escape." She now reached her hand out to him, and he began walking towards her,

"I never considered leaving you again, Lymle." he said, smiling and held onto her hand, "Besides, according to our legends," their eyes locked onto each other, "this is my Utopia."

Hand in hand and smiling, they both departed towards the newly built village where now Lymle lived in – and where Faize will too.
