Heya... This chapter is specially for Valentine's Day... For you people out there reading this, Happy Valentine's Day:) This happens throughout the course of Fia's dream and memory...
All five of them were walking across the bridge within the ruins of Nelde and Fia was soaking in the atmosphere, in awe of the beauty around her. Gazing around, trying to memorize every single detail of her surroundings, she suddenly felt a light nudge on her shoulder. Turning to the direction of which the nudge came from, she saw Ein smiling at her and pointing towards the direction opposing her.
Puzzled, she looked back and gasped in wonder. In her concentration of looking at the plants growing around her, she had failed to notice that evening had arrived. A deep hue of orange light flowed through the canopy above them, breaking the slight darkness around them. Tiny dust motes could be seen dancing around in the fading light and the flowers that bloomed above were cast partly in shadow and illuminated partly in light.
Despite the fading light and increasing lack of visibility, the beauty of the flowers was further increased by the contrast between the blackness of the shadows and the bright colors they were endowed with. A few moments later, the sun had set totally and they were plunged into darkness. However, this lasted for only a few moments before there was a tiny glow coming from above. Each was like a tiny gem or star, that glinted in the darkness, providing a gentle bluish glow that lit up their path somewhat.
Looking up together in silence, they merely stood there in silence... looking as one, breathing as one and feeling as one... This moment could have lasted for an eternity and it wouldn't have mattered to them. This moment was, however, broken by the yells of others for them to catch up.
Breaking out of their reverie, they ran up to the rest of the group together in silence, but kept a short distance behind. There was a moment of silence between Ein and Fia... not an awkward silence, but rather, a silence of understanding... an understanding of which required no words...
A few moments later, this silence was broken by Ein. Scratching his head lightly, he looked at Fia in the eyes and whispered, "You know... That moment we had just now..."
However, Fia placed her fingers gently on his lips and smiled, "Shh... I know..."
Taking her hands gently away from his lips, Ein continued, "Many people around me say that miracles never happen... that things will never last and are bound to fade away in the end... That moment we share... the things we felt... This memory I shall always treasure... I have never experienced a miracle till I met you... And that miracle is you..."
Tearing up in her eyes, Fia merely smiled and leaned her head on Ein's shoulder. At that moment, they latched both their hands together and followed the other three. The time where they would have to fight the Accursed within Nelde would soon come... But this moment, no matter how brief and short, would be shared between them now... and would be theirs to share only... forever...
Yep... In case you haven't read the author's note I always put on top of my chapters, this chapter is for Valentine's Day and takes place in Fia's DREAMS AND MEMORIES... Please review and tell me what you think. ;) I'll be adding up another chapter soon...
God bless, Azarethian Titan
