Will love blossom, or will she get back to the observatory without ever have discovering love? Read on to find out for yourself.
Yōsei's POV
"Miss Traveller? Miss Traveller. Are you alright?" Spoke a soft, gentle voice. My head felt like there was a boulder placed inside, weighing my head down to the pillow. The sweet voice spoke again, but I'm not sure if it was to me directly.
"She's waking up! Hurry and get some water and medical herbs please." It spoke, but there were more voices.
"U-uh, yeah sure Erinn! But I don't see why you even bother with her. She's just a stranger."
"Don't say that, Ivor! You know as well as I do that she needed our help! Now go fetch them herbs!" She replied sternly. I heard the boy, presumably named Ivor, leave the premises and out of earshot as I groaned in pain and began to sit up. I couldn't see anything, but I could hear a feminine voice of surprise as I did so.
"Oh no, Miss Traveller! You mustn't get up just now. You're still hurt from the fall." She exclaimed. I turned my head as I opened my eyes, revealing my ruby red orbs.
"Wh... Where... Am I, Ma'am?" I questioned quietly. She simply smiled daintily and replied softly with,
"You're in Angel Falls, Miss. You fell from the top of Angel Fall's waterfall and hit your head really hard. You were out cold for a few days but I'm amazed at how fast you recovered!" I looked at her confusedly. I was a Celestrian, of course I would recover quick! Wait. How... Can she see me?! How though!? I panicked, quickly grabbing the back of my clothes in search of my wings, only to find nothing. I did the same with my head in order to find my halo, only to have the same result.
This girl, presumably Erinn from what I heard before, looked at me as if I had cat ears. A few seconds later, I could hear someone running up the stairs. When he swung the door open, his features appeared gruff and uncaring. He had blond hair with a small quiff at the front. His eyes were light blue and he wore purple attire.
"I'm back with your stupid medicinal herbs and-" He cut himself off as he stopped to stare at me. He looked at me like I was the most interesting thing in this small town. I gave him a confused look, wondering what he could find so interesting.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" I asked to the young boy, presumably around my human age, sixteen to be exact. He shook his head and looked at me again, only this time to have soft, affectionate eyes. Was this guy for real?
"Well, hello there. Glad to see you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" He spoke smoothly. I raised a brow at his sudden change in attitude, but smiled nonetheless.
"Yeah, my head hurts a little though. Shouldn't be anything I can't handle." I replied confidently with a smirk. He stepped forward and kneeled down, handing me the medical herbs and the mug of water in a way that made it impossible for me to not hold his hand, no matter how much I didn't want to. I tried pulling off my sweetest smile, gingerly chewing on the minty herb as I drank down the ice cold beverage. After a minute of silence, Ivor spoke up once again.
"So, uh... What's your name?" He asked as I swallowed the dry plant. I looked up at him with a slightly surprised expression on my face, as if to say 'What do you mean? How could you not know me!?'
"M-my name?" I began. I swallowed, not knowing if they'd believe me. I cleared my throat and spoke quietly.
"My name... is... uhm..." I tried pulling off the old 'trying to remember my name' trick.
"Yō... Yōsei? Y-yeah, that's it. It's Yōsei." I stuttered, hoping they'd believe me. I wasn't lying or anything, but I don't think they'd believe me if I said 'Yeah, I'm Yōsei, Guardian of this place!' now would they? When I looked back up to face them, Erinn's face was a look of joy and shock, so she must've heard of me.
"Oh my! You have the same name as our dear guardian! This truly is amazing!" She cried as she jumped in joy. She certainly has heard of me. I can be thankful for that. I turned to Ivor, only to have him give me a look of Yeah right! I could see he didn't believe me.
"Well, I feel a lot better, I think I'll take a long walk." I said. No one seemed to object, so I hopped out of the bed and travelled down the stairs. I could hear someone following, but decided to ignore it.
I opened the wooden door and stepped outside. I began to walk over to where my statue resided, so I could pray for my safe return to the Observatory soon. I hope they're all alright. Ah, there it is, right next to the waterfall. I trudged over to the stone statue when I noticed somebody already praying there.
I couldn't see his face, but he had blonde hair that stuck out in every direction and he wore chain mail armour. In his sheath he carried a copper sword. I could tell he was a warrior by just looking at him. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing burgundy red ones that shot towards my ruby ones from the corner of his eyes. His eyes widened in the same way Ivor's did as he continued to stare at me, slightly gawking. My stars, he looked like me. He was, and dare I say it, so handsome! I could feel a tint of scarlet dust my cheeks as we locked gazes. He stood and turned to face me as he drew a cross along his shoulders and forehead.
The redness in my cheeks grew as I began to observe his handsome and beautifully shaped face. Oh my, am I...? Hahah, no. I can't be. Celestrians can't fall in love. But why did I used to have this tugging feeling that strummed on my heartstrings every time I looked at my mentor, Aquila? I shrugged the thoughts out of my head and my red cheeks vanished as quickly as my thoughts while he cleared his throat.
"Hello." He said plainly.
Senshi's POV
I came to this little town in order to find answers from the guardian, Yōsei. How I wished they'd have sent an angel to help guide me. But what's this? It seems my prayers have been answered! There she stood with eyes of ruby and hair as golden as the sun. My stars, she's beautiful. I've never seen a more beautiful angel. I noticed I was gawking a bit so I closed my mouth, just in case this angel thought I was beginning to swoon over her, not that I wasn't though, I'll admit.
"Hello." I said plainly. Was that all I was able to say to this goddess?! I thought as I mentally kicked myself.
"O-oh, hello..." She stuttered. She gazed at me with those beautiful ruby orbs. I couldn't stop staring at her, she was so delectable! And she looked so cute with that dreamy expression on her face. Before I knew it, she spoke again.
"I haven't seen you around my vill- Err, I mean this place... T-then again, I hadn't been here much when I first encountered this place." She spoke kindly. She spoke so formally, like she was of royal blood. Unlike me, I spoke rather normally, but my thoughts portray otherwise.
"I guess. I think this is my first time here, I came to pray to the Guardian of this place. You don't happen to have seen me before or anything?" I asked her politely. Despite talking to such a celestial maiden, I was still confused as hell. I needed answers.
"No, I'm sorry. I would have noticed you if I had met you previously. I never forget faces." She replied sadly. I felt a pang in my heart. Still no one I have asked has seen me around.
"But," I heard her speak up. I looked up to her, hoping she could help even just a little.
"I-if you want, I could help. You see I've nowhere to go, it would be a benefit for us both if we travel together. I could help you find whatever answers you're looking for, while you help me... Uhm... Hmm... Oh... OH! You could help me get more information about Celestrians and the Observatory!" She exclaimed. Her face showed confidence, but I could see there was probably something she wasn't telling me. I wonder what it is. I shook the thought from my head and smirked at her.
"Sounds like a deal." I said, the smirk still engraved on my face. I was so happy to have someone to help me. As far as I know, everyone I had met would give me the cold shoulder when I ask for answers.
"I'm Senshi, by the way." I said casually. She looked at me and gave me a warm smile.
"I'm... Yôsei..." She replied sweetly. Yôsei... What a beautiful name... I thought to myself.
"Well, we better head off if we want to get to the next town by sunset." I informed her. She looked up, nodding gently as we began to walk out of angel falls.
Our next destination is Stornway, The Castle Town. I can't wait, I can finally find some answers. I turned to Yôsei, looking her up and down. She certainly is strange, but I know there's a reason. Because there's something she's not telling. Hopefully, I'll find out eventually...
