Chapter 7 : Dreams Came True
The big group of mummies surrounded the girls. They screamed....and before Selena could attack, El and Evan quickly ran towards the girls.
"MAGNUM BREAK!!"
The blows made the mummies went back a few steps, then Rhine and Kazu casted Heal on the mummies. They did it for a few times, and Selena's falcon attacked the remaining mummies.
Rhine and Kazu dropped themselves on the floor to have a short rest. El and Evan got worried.
"Are you feeling alright, Rhine?" Evan asked Rhine as she looked weak.
Rhine looked at Evan, and she was delighted that he was worried about her.
"Thanks for your concern, Evan. I'm just tired, that's all.."
Selena, Kazu and El looked at the both of them, and gave a smile. Then, they gave a small chuckle. Evan and Rhine looked at them, wondering what was happening.
"Looks like there was something going on between the both of you...and you never told me!" Kazu laughed.
Evan and Rhine blushed furiously and shouted together, "NO!!!!!"
Now, all of them laughed.
"Well, we better continue with the training..as soon as the both of you are feeling better." The pretty brown-haired huntress said.
The girls took a short rest, and they quickly got up once they were feeling better. They continued training until it was evening. They stayed in an inn in Morocc city and continued training for a week.
Finally, the gang was just a step away from being what they longed for. On that morning, they were determined to train harder. Selena will be much more alert to prevent them from unwanted danger. Xan was notified about this, and is expecting them to be back that night.
El and Evan slashed their way to being a Knight, and Rhine and Kazu casted as much spells to support.
"Just a step away!!!!!!!!" Rhine exclaimed in excitement.
The rest of the gang battled harder, and they counted on their last mummy for the day before they head to their job guilds.
But disaster strikes.....
Rhine got attacked by a mummy and she was out of energy to heal herself. Soon...she was lying unconscious on the ground while the others shouted, "RHINE!!!!!!"
All of them ran towards her. She was very weak now, and could barely move. Evan was in tears, and his hands were full of her blood.
"Evan..." those were the last words of Rhine..
Evan shouted and slashed the mummy to its grave. His anger filled inside him was unbearable. He ran back to Rhine, and she left the world. The whole gang was in tears, and Selena was blaming herself.
"No Selena, it wasn't your fault. This is destiny.." Kazu said, in tears.
El, who was next to his sister's dead body, suddenly noticed a leaf in her hands. He took out the leaf, and Selena had an idea. She knew that leaf could resurrect a dead person to life again. She took the leaf and threw it on the body. Suddenly, a bright light surrounded Rhine's body. Her body was glowing, and then she was back to life.
All of them were very happy and relieved at the same time. Rhine was wondering what actually happened and she could feel Evan hugging her. Rhine hugged him back and smiled. Kazu and El were very relieved and Selena was smiling.
"Rhine....I'm glad you're back..." Evan whispered to Rhine's ear.
Rhine gave a kiss on his cheek and he blushed.
Since the gang was in the same experience-sharing party, Kazu and El went off to kill some mummies and finally, they were ready for their job change. All of them jumped for joy and Selena was very happy. She quickly notified Xan about it and he rushed off to the church for the gang's arrival.
Selena and the gang went back to Prontera and the gang headed to the Church and the girls passed their test safely and was awarded their new jobs as Priests. Kazu and Rhine were jumping for joy and now the whole gang went off to the Knight Chivalry nearby the church. Evan and El managed to pass the test and was awarded the job as Knights.
All of them were so excited and Xan thought that he could prepare a feast for their new jobs. Back home, Selena and Xan were helping each other out to prepare the dishes. After a lot of cooking, it was finally time for dinner. The dishes served were so delicious that everyone was enjoying it.
After dinner, Selena thought that they should go to the park as it's quite nice especially when it's at night. The lights are bright and the sky is a wonderful sight. Selena sat next to Xan, Kazu and El was sitting together and Rhine was next to Evan.
All of them were talking and made jokes under the starlit sky.
"Selena....I was wondering if you had a....."
Selena turned to Xan and asked, "Had a what?"
"Erm...Boy...friend....."
Selena giggled. Xan was surprised. She replied, "Well, none after you..hehe"
"Did you still keep that ring I gave to you?" Xan asked.
"Oh, I threw it away." This time, Xan's jaws dropped.
"Haha...I was just kidding, Xan!" Selena took out her necklace which had the ring as a pendant. The ring was a very nice one, which had a diamond in the middle and had the word "Eternal" carved on it. Xan gave it to her for her birthday.
While Xan and Selena were reminisced about their great memories together, Kazu and El were making out too.
El was slightly scared at first, but he plucked up some courage. He pulled out his hands...and tried to put them on her shoulder. Kazu was surprised at first, but she laid her head on his shoulder.
Rhine and Evan were looking at the other two couples together, and then they looked at each other. They blushed for a moment, and Rhine rested her head on his shoulder too.
Evan's Point Of View..
I touched her hair...and it was very soft. Her eyes are so beautiful...as if it's the window to the world...
Rhine's Point Of View..
His shoulders are so wide...it feels very comfortable...his touch is firm...
Evan, who was rather scared at first, and he plucked up some courage. This time...
Evan's Point Of View..
I held her in my arms...
And I looked at her face...
Her beautiful eyes....
I knew...I couldn't stop this feeling inside of me....
I...I.....Kissed her...
Rhine's Point Of View..
He kissed my lips...
I felt warm...his lips were warm...
My first kiss....
(Back to the normal situation)
Xan and Selena noticed what was happening to both of the couples. They looked at each other and shied away.
"It has been a very long time since we had a chance to be alone.." Xan said.
"Yea....Actually have you been dating.....?" Selena asked.
Xan was surprised. "Erm..no..."
"Well...I have been thinking...Should we get back together..?" Selena asked again.
Selena was waiting for an answer, but he hugged her instead. She smiled.
"Yes." He replied.
Selena hugged him back, and they kissed.
Under the bright starlit sky

As love blooms...
