Chapter 9 – "Elluka" "Recollective Orgel"
Years have passed since the commitment of the original sin. Eve decided to take care of Mary's twins and Adam was reluctant at first but agreed to it somehow. Eve wanted to call them Hansel and Gretel but Adam disagreed. Sooner or later he also called them Hansel and Gretel because that was how Eve was calling them.
Hansel and Gretel was always playing around in the field but not with the other kids but with just themselves. As always, Eve was sitting on the rock where she would always sit and watch Adam and Kane. She was not bothered by the fact that Hansel and Gretel only wanted to play with themselves. All she would do is staring into the sky and wait till dusk. When Hansel and Gretel noticed that their "mother" is not paying attention to them, they would sneak into the forest and wander around and Eve wouldn't even notice till the stars came out.
Hansel and Gretel would walk while holding each other's hands and wander. Walking aimlessly, they stumbled upon a lake with an island on the center and a bed of flowers on it. Gretel was amazed by the pretty flowers and made Hansel swim to get there. Hansel disagreed because he's scared of the water. While they were arguing, a woman showed up on the center island and bended down to smell the flowers and she noticed two brats were arguing on the other side. Gretel noticed the woman and stared until she went behind the single tree on the island and disappeared.
"What are you looking at?" Hansel asked.
"That pretty woman with blonde hair over there. She was sniffing the flowers then went the behind tree and disappeared". They went around the lake to see if there really is a person behind the tree. They were none. "But… But… I saw her…". Gretel stated.
"You must be hallucinating, just like our mother". Hansel said. While they were walking around the lake just to check, they heard music from somewhere. They saw a man in ragged clothes just near the lake and listening to a music box. They were lured in by the music because it was somewhat familiar to them. They approached him and asked about the music box.
"What? You can hear it too? I'm surprised. They say I'm crazy when because they can't hear… but you can! Can you?". The ragged man said.
"Yes we can. It has the same melody as the music box we have at home". Hansel and Gretel said synchronized.
"REALLY? Mine is only the first part of the song, maybe yours is the second one I have been willing to find! Tell you what, if you let me listen to the second part of the song one last time. I'll tell you a story behind the music". The ragged man offered.
"Okay, but you will have to tell us the first part of the story and if we become interested, we will bring the music box tomorrow". Gretel also offered. The ragged man agreed and he began to open the music box and tell the story.
In the forest of Eldoh, a woman with blonde hair was walking to the biggest tree of the forest. Even though she was alone, the forest spirits wouldn't dare play tricks with her for she had an intimidating aura. When she reached the biggest tree, she called it out and asked for something.
"Oh Great spirit of Eld, What is it that I need to gain immortality? Here is an offering for I wish a wise answer". The woman wished placing flowers on the roots of the tree.
"Red… Precious… Sanity… Magic… Love…". The spirit of Eld said in a weak voice.
"I do not understand! Can it not be clearer?" The woman shouted. The spirit did not speak again. "Grrgghh, another riddle to solve". The woman said angrily. She then left and went back to the kingdom of Leviantha. When she was leaving, another woman approached the big tree and place flowers on its roots and asked something.
"Oh Great spirit of Eld, what is it that that woman had asked you for?". The woman with pink hair said.
"Life… Soul… Body…Heart…". The woman somehow understood that. She left and went off to follow the blonde haired woman.
In the Kingdom of Leviantha, also known as the Kingdom of magic, where people who have the power to use magic dwell and use it for the sake of others. It is ruled by one powerful magician who, by him or herself, can defend the kingdom and in exchange, can live a life of a royal. At the center of the kingdom stood a clock tower and it was built by a famous engineer. Also, there was a laboratory that was famous for its magic presentation inside its halls.
The blonde haired woman came back from the forest and went straight to the Magic Laboratory. When she was at the entrance, she saw a girl crying and seemed to be lost. The blonde woman approached her.
"Are you lost little one?" the blonde woman asked.
"*sob*… We came here… for the magic shows… *sob*… now my parents have vanished and… *sob*". The little girl cried.
"Hush little one, let us go see where your parents are". She grabbed the hand of the little girl and started walking into the city of the kingdom. The little girl was crying while walking and soon enough, her belly began to grumble.
"Pretty sister, I'm hungry… *sob*". The little girl cried. Fortunately, they passed a bakery shop. They went back and brought some bread. As they were leaving the store and they were walking, the girl brought out the bread and tried to eat but, "Pretty sister, this bread seems to be hard". The little girl complained. The woman took the bread and whispered something to it and gave it back to the girl and then she ate it. "*Nom* It's delicious *Nom*". The woman gave a quick smile then continued to look for the little girl's parents. After a while of talking, they heard screams of help for a fire has broken out. The woman ignored the weeping citizens and just continued walking while the little girl was still nomming on her bread.
After a while of walking around, they gave up and went back to the magical laboratory. At the front of the laboratory, there was a woman looking around.
"Oh hey! Irina! What are you doing there?" the blonde woman shouted.
"Oh, Elluka, where have you've been? I was searching for you all day!" Irina rushed to Elluka.
"I was helping this poor little girl find her parents".
"Really? Because there was a couple who lost their kid just a while ago. They're inside the lab and watching the magic show".
"How could they watch a magic show when they're kid is missing?" Elluka rushed into the lab looked for the parents and while dragging the girl.
"Wait Ellu-!" Irina trying to stop Elluka. When Elluka got inside, she yelled.
"Who are the parents of this child? Answer!" Elluka angrily shouted. The audience was shocked and startled before screaming. "KKYYAA! It's the famous magician Elluka! She is so beautiful in person!" the audience crowded over Elluka, wanting to get her autograph, and the little girl got separated from her. When the audience has left, Elluka remembered to be angry at the little girl's parents. She walked outside it was already nightfall. There stood Irina and she approached her.
"Have you seen the little girl I was with earlier?"
"Yup, her parents found her and wanted to give thanks".
"Ggrrgghh. I wanted to scold them!"
"Apparently, they were not watching the magic show; they asked each person in the audience if they saw a brown haired girl somewhere".
"Ohhh… Well that's good".
"and by the way, Brother Kiriru wanted to know if you want to have dinner at our house".
"I would be glad!" They walked to the direction of Irina's house.
"And they all lived happily ever after" The ragged man said laughing and closing the music box. It was already dusk.
"That was an interesting story, stranger" Gretel praised. "But it's already dark so we have to get back home or our father would get angry".
"Ohh okay…".
"We will bring the music box tomorrow, same place and same time?" Hansel said.
"Yep! Same place, Same time!" the ragged man said cheerfully. Hansel and Gretel ran back to the fields but unfortunately, their mother was not around, so they ran to their house. When they opened the door, a mad Eve was in front of them.
"Where have you've been? When I woke up, you were not in the fields!" Eve angrily shouted.
"Well, if you weren't sleeping, you could have had a better eye on us wouldn't it?" Gretel answered.
"How dare you answer back! Where have you been anyways?"
"At the lake, swimming". Hansel lied.
"Then why didn't you wake me up to tell me?"
"Because we wouldn't want to disturb your peaceful sleep mother". Hansel and Gretel said synchronized.
"Gggrrgghh! This children are impossible! Adam! You handle them!" Eve shouting at Adam and then walking upstairs in a angry manner.
"Children, your mother is very worried about you. You should always listen to her and tell where you are going". Adam pleaded. "and also, you two are grounded for a week".
"BUT-!" Hansel and Gretel synchronized again.
"No buts. I want you to apologize to your mother, eat your dinner and go to bed". Adam said in a soft voice. Hansel and Gretel followed.
As soon as they were in bed, "Tomorrow, let's sneak out with the music box and go to that stranger at the lake again". They both said at the same time at each other and then giggled and went to sleep. Gretel was hugging a doll because she couldn't sleep without it.
