Chapter 4
50 years old
Oberon and Puck walked towards Titania's cradle. After a 3-month trip around the world searching for exotic mystical plants, it felt good to be finally come home.
Oberon looked at Puck, who was touching all the flowers in her sight. He knew what she was thinking. After spending a large proportion of 20 years together, he boasted to everyone that he knew Puck very well. He knew that she missed being back at the fairy kingdom, even though she would never admit it. He saw the brief expressions of homesickness during the 3 months.
Puck turned around, looking straight at Oberon. He smiled at her. She smiled back. Her whole face was lit up resembling the moon, the stars and the sun.
Suddenly, a rustle of leaves and a fairy Oberon knows by the name of Mustardseed burst through.
"MUSTARDSEED!" Puck's loud booming voice filled the whole entire forest. She jumped onto the other fairy and hugged him tight. Oberon shook his head.
"My lord…" Mustardseed tried to bow down with Puck wrapped around him. "My mistress is waiting for you."
"Right. I'll go off now."
Oberon didn't know how a peaceful what are you up to turned into a fight. He hated Titania for denying her love for Thesius again and again. He looked at Titania. His face weaved with worry lines and his face flushed with anger. He didn't care anymore. She always runs off. He knew that it was his fault. He didn't love her and he came to terms with that. But no one every play tricks or lies to Oberon. He wasn't angry that she slept with another man. He was angry because she was lying. He threw Titania one last look and stormed off.
"Oberon!" He turned around only half his face was visible to Titania.
"Leave me alone Titania. Haven't you done enough?" He barely registered her expression of worry.
He walked through the forest with a purpose. He didn't know what or whom he was searching for, but he knew that he had to get away.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard several giggles coming from behind the bushes.
"Puck?"
"MY LORD!" Puck screeched. She was sitting on Mustardseed's lap, playing with his hair. Mustardseed's hand was rubbing against her rosy cheeks. They both looked very much in love. The scene was almost sickening. He just had to get away.
"Oh. I'll just leave than."
