Ion poked at the fire. They were camping out again at the borders of the latest city they had arrived at.
If he didn't know better, the priest actually preffered camping out in the outskirts of town rather than to stay at an inn.
They were as he knew somewhere in Eastern Europe. Still looking for and hunting the Contra Mundi.
He looked over at his side and noticed that Father Abel was once again off to himself away from the fire and looking longingly at the sky.
He didn't find the father's actions odd any longer. Hell, he was acting like that for almost six years now.
Six years… he thought. How time has passed. Things have changed. Esther was a queen now. He smiled at the thought. She's going to be a wonderful queen.
Yes. Everything has changed. He himself even changed. He was not the bratty noble he was before. He was more silent and more calculating. Naïve was never a word again to be associated with him. He excelled in his skills and had done much to thwart the plans of the Contra Mundi alongside Father Nightroad.
If only Esther could see him now. He had grown a foot taller and his hair had grown a bit longer. But what had changed in him so much was the look in his eyes. Innocence was lost there. He would never be called cute or mistaken for a girl ever again, and he wondered if Esther would be happy or disappointed to see him.
He sighed. Esther would have accepted and welcomed him whatever he had become. Yes, that is how she is. So forgiving. So kind.
He sighed again. In this quest that he had taken upon himself, when would he ever see her again? He missed her.
A soft rustle of robes was heard at his side. And for a moment he looked at the man that he had followed for six years. He was still looking at the sky. He wondered what he ever found in the night sky that warranted so much attention from the priest?
As if his question was heard, Ion heard Father Nightroad whisper a name that had been plaguing his thoughts himself.
"Esther…"
Ion smirked, and followed Abel's gaze into the night sky, his thoughts confirmed.
The priest missed her too…
