Things couldn't get any better in Miach's life his beloved Cecelia has grown a bit and still an awesome child very quiet but always brighten up when Miach or another gentle person holds her.

he helped her make her first steps holding her hands and let go for a few seconds and held them again when she was about to fall down.
Miach thanked the gods almost everyday for bringing him and his daughter together he no longer feels depressed or feel he has nothing to live for once in ages he feels excited for what the future will bring

when he's facing difficult times his daughter is the only one that keeps him with both feet on the ground he also noticed he's a much positive person and and is more open to new things.
they did almost everything together even when he's with his family he would never leave her with someone else Ariels younger daughter had no problem with accepting Celia as a new member of the family but the others weren't very thrilled about it but Miach took no notice he won't stop loving his daughter just because some fail to be happy for him.

During sunset Miach held his daughter close when he had a walk through the forest Celia was sleeping soundless against his shoulder and woke up slowly feeling her fathers warm hands rubbing her back gentle Celia looked up and looked curiously around her when she heared the sound of chirping crickets there were alot of fire flies near the water making the forest glow.

When Miach slowly walked passed an old tree the forest began to lit up.

The leafs became golden he noticed the magical changes in their surroundings he briefly caught sight of the guarding phoenix's tail then the forest changed back into normal Miach did felt some kind of fear.

Scared that there were still elves around the forest and might attack him and cecelia might get hurt because of that he jumped when he heared a ruffeling sound but relaxed when it was small frog watching him jerking his tiny head to the side like it was trying to say

"what kind of frogs are you?"

Cecelia giggled when she saw it's throat swell up Miach let the frog jump on his hand and taught his daughter how to pet it gentle.

Then all of the sudden Miach felt a unpleasant tightness in his body the sky became dark within seconds and the frog got frightened and jumped into the grass,other animals fled too Miach felt That eerie sensation much stronger now.

Cecelia whimpered in fear,it alarmed him and sprinted to his horse and made his way back to the village,the wind is starting to haul spookily but became lesser when they traveled further away from the forest.

Miach made his way back safely,his heart was still thumping with fear as he kept his hold around Cecelia tight,

His friends could tell he seemed drained and very pale but seemed glad he arrived back and walked with him towards his house,his father was outside making hunting spears

"Hey Dad" Miach gave his father a tired smile

"Hello my lad hows the little one? are you okay? you seem startled"

"we are both fine" Miach responded rocking his baby slightly and Miach's face became serious.

"Father i felt something weird when i was in the forest im still trembeling Ceclia felt it too".

"What?"

"I know what I did was foolish,but I just lost the track of time.."

His Father was in no mood to scold him instead he sat next to him "My lad i've told you many times not to go to the forest late during this time of the year people are disappearing without a trail something could have happened to you"

"I know Dad i won't do this again i don't want to lose my daughter and i don't want to leave you behind i just didn't think it was real just a story to scare children".

well you know that's not true lad, and you know very well that your father never deceived you and never will" his Father said.

"I know Dad,and I'm thankful for that," Miach said feeling more thankful for not being scolded,he could have sworn that he was about to,there was worry and a tad of annoyance when Miach mentioned where he was but his face softened within a second.

Miach sighed and eyed his daughter who was trying to say something and focused on his father again i like to forget about what i felt in the forest i've learned my lesson but i like to change subject or i'll might get nightmares

"I understand lad get some rest" The Elder man said.

"Yes i will tank you for talking with me i always feel better afterwards"

"Goodnight Dad"

"Goodnight Miach see you tomorrow"

Miach did woke up from a nightmare about cecelia being in the forest chased by something unknown but waking up next to his daughter seeing her in her calm form alive and well was enough to get him through the night.

After a couple of restless nights Miach could finaly get rest without nightmares for weeks.
his daughter grew into a very bright child and stayed as lovely as always he was always scared she might turned into a brat but he's thankful she hasn't to him she's an angel in a mortal body and way too good for this world.
