Valentine's Day!"
Selviya Is showering and getting ready for Valentine's Day. After she was done, She got out of the bathtub. Kuai is putting the towel that covers her wet body and her hair in their shared chamber. He knows that she is in the bathroom.
She quickly got out of the bathroom. In front of her Hairdresser, She dried her hair with the towel. After it dried, she used her ice magic to make it glow and soft, and then She combed it with the comb. Kuai was looking at her. She was Glowing like the ice goddess she is. His goddess. He knew that she was getting ready for an occasional matter. Nonetheless, he didn't care; she would be breathtaking like she always looks. Then she wears her clothes magically; of course, she is saving time.
"Qīn? Mind tell ming why today is important to you?" Kuai Liang asked, He is smiling softly at her.
"Qīn'ai de! It's Valentine's Day!" Selviya giggles at him.
"Oh? So that's what you're getting ready for? Valentine's Day?" He teased, Cocking an eyebrow at her.
"Not just Valentine's Day, my love! In a few hours, Virginia is going to hold a big celebration. Hearts Day" is what they call it, but anyway! We will sneak there, pretending to celebrate a little. Then we try to find a clue as to what happened, or maybe the Cryomancers went to Virginia!" Selviya commented as she was doing her makeup. I'm not going to call it makeup; she only used mascara, lipstick, and eye kohl inside. Because she thinks too much makeup makes her look like a clown. Unlike Aliyaa, Scylla, and Kitana, Selviya is not much of a makeup girl.
"Oooh! I'm all ears, I knew there is a cunning, beautiful woman behind that pretty face of yours!" Kuai Liang replied, Rubbing both of his hands Excitedly.
"Hm! Of course... I have been planning this for months. Aliyaa will be busy with Arouj on Hearts Day. So we will go and enjoy ourselves a little, then our work will begin! Simple as that!" Selviya replied, and she got up. Twirling the car keys with her index finger, Kuai Liang came closer, kissing her, and she kissed back. The duo quickly melted in the kiss as they began to moan.
Might you tell me where you are going? Qīn!" Kuai Liang asked.
"I'm going to bring sweets and cards! Won't be long!" Selviya muttered, and he nodded, letting go of her.
Selviya left their room. On her way, she saw Cyrax and Smoke chattering with each other. She thought to herself, They also deserve To celebrate Valentine's Day, given that they suffer from these abomination robots, she doubled the Sweets and cards. She also thought of the younger Kuai and Bihan. She doubled it, too.
"Good morning, Beautiful!" Smoke greeted, Cyrax smiles at her.
"Good morning, amigos! How are you today?" Selviya replied, chuckling at them.
"We are fine! How are you?" They both replied.
"I'm great! I'm relieved to know that you're fine, guys!" She Uttered.
"Do you know what today is?" Smoke asked, Wiggling his eyebrows.
"Hmm.. let me guess! It's National Day of Health?" She lied; she felt embarrassed by them; they are a bit closer than they seem.
"No! Dorky! It's Valentine's Day!" Cyrax Chuckles at her.
"Oh! Really! Well, I'm not much of a calendar person, so I'm really in a hurry!" She excused herself and then left. Damn, this is so embarrassing," she breathed to herself.
Reaching her car. She turns it up. Waiting 5 minutes, she left for her favourite sweet place, Ladurée."
"Good morning!" Selviya greets the Workers in the shop.
"Good morning, Mademoiselle!" The Shopworker greeted him back.
Please, I would like to order 8 boxes of Mix Valentine's Sweets! Oh! And I also want Valentine's cards. I would like to write on them!" She ordered, and the shop worker nodded.
"Sure mademoiselle!" The shop worker Is preparing Her order. He pointed towards the corner of the card. She nodded to thank him. She picked up eight cards and began to write on them: For Grandmaster Kuai Liang.
To the Grandmaster Of the Lin-Kuei, my love, my Boyfriend...
"To my best Boyfriend, who will be my husband in the future, I'm going to give you this. You are the only man who I truly loved, who truly loved me, and who understood me in return. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you and I were Destined to be together. And I love you with all my heart and life. Happy Valentine's Day, Qin'ai de! From Selviya Levsloky!"
"It's a bit messy, but he will like it, I know!" She said as she smiles.
The second one is for the younger Kuai Liang.
"Happy Valentine's Day! Don't worry; one day you will celebrate Valentine's Day with your loved one! From Selviya Levsloky!" Selviya finished writing this letter. Although it hurts her to read it, it's encouraging, isn't it? He hopes it did not hurt his emotions.
The third one is To the Older Bi Han, who was Noob Saibot.
"Happy Valentine's to my future brother-in-law from Selviya Levsloky!" Selviya chuckled at this. It's a bit soon, eh?
The fourth one is for the younger Bihan.
"Happy Valentine's Day to You, and I hope you find your Valentine soon! From Selviya Levsloky
The fifth one is Cyrax.
"Happy Valentine's Day to you, Cyrax! I hope you find your Valentine and celebrate with your loved one! From Selviya Levsloky!" She chuckles again.

Seventh and eighth The last two for her parents!
"To the best mother in the world! happy Valentines! To the best mother and Friend too! You were with me in my darkest days and hours, and you provided me with love and taught me everything you knew about etiquette and Grace. Thank you and happy Valentines from your beloved daughter Selviya Levsloky!" She nearly tore at this...
"To the best father in the world, you and my mother have brightened my days and life. If it weren't for you, who would know where I would be? Or what will I become? Your existence in my life means so much to me. You taught me strength and muay thai, while my mom taught me the way of the ladies and grace. For that, I thank you. You were the warmth and love, while Mom was the wiser and stronger. Thank you so much for this From your beloved daughter, Selviya Levsloky.
And for Anthony!
"Happy Valentine's Day to the best Chief Ever! From Selviya Levsloky!"
"mademoiselle! It is done; I enveloped them, and there is also a discount for those who buy multiple boxes! It comes with this cute macaron, heart-shaped!" The shopworker said
"Lovely! Add the macaron ones, and I'm ready to pay!" She replied, and as she finished writing the cards, she went to the cashier's register.
"All done, Mademoiselle! Oh, it will be 40 pounds, and thank you!" The shop worker said she paid the bill and then left.
"Thank you! And come again!" The shopworker mumbled
As she got out of the sweet shop, She headed towards her car. She even bought Valentine's cards and chocolates for Anthony. How could she forget him? She got into her car. Turning it up, she goes to the police department.
The policewomen and policemen were happily Celebrating Valentine's Day. Selviya loved it here so much, but she must go to her parents after giving Anthony his card and sweet,
"Good morning, Anthony. Good morning How are you? I'm fine, by the way!" Selviya says, then chuckles.
"Good morning, Levsloky!" All of them replied.
"Good morning, baby girl! I'm fine! I'm glad to hear you're fine," Anthony muttered happily.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Selviya cheered as she gave him his Card and sweet box.
"Thank you! Happy Valentine's Day too!" Anthony Chuckles, Handing her Valentine's card too
"Ooh! I'm really happy that I came here, but I'm in a hurry. Adios!" She giggles, and then Anthony leaves, and everybody smiles.
She goes into her car again. Now to her parents! She arrived at her parent's house. She feels excited and happy!
She uses the buzzer, and her mother, Maria Levsloky, opens the door.
"Ooh, good morning, daughter! How are you today?" Maria says she smiles at her daughter.
"Good morning, Mother! I'm wonderful today, and so are you!" Selviya Replied as she came in.
"I'm great!" Maria added
"Selviya! Good morning!" Aran said as he hugged her.
"Good morning, Dad!" She chuckles
"Today is Valentine's Day, so! Happy Valentine's Day," Selviya says as she gives them their cards and sweet boxes.
"Ooh, that's so sweet, daughter! But you don't have to." Maria Uttered.
No, don't say that! It's Valentine's Day!" Selviya muttered. They chuckled at her.
Fine, hehe, it's Valentine's Day." Aran smiled at her.
She stayed with them for an hour.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go. If you need anything, call me!" Selviya uttered, and before she left, she hugged them and then left.
"Goodbye, and thanks for the sweets!" Both of them replied.
Now to the Lin-Kuei! It is now 9 a.m. Selviya left at 7 a.m.
Getting into her car again for the fourth time...
"Now to the Lin-Kuei!" She chuckles
older Kuai Liang is worried for her. It's been a while now, and she didn't come.
"Hey brother, what's wrong?" Older Bi-han asked.
"Nothing brother, Just pondering something!" He replied that he didn't want to worry about his brother. His brother didn't need to worry or be annoyed anymore; he had enough from his years as a Noob Saibot.
"Hehe, Kuai. You were always a terrible liar!" older Bi Han taunted.
"What are you even saying, brother?" Kuai Liang grunted, clearly annoyed at him.
Soon Others will join the Hall. younger Kuai Liang and Bi Han, Cyrax, and smoke too.
"Hey, Selviya didn't come yet?" Young Kuai Liang asked
"No, she didn't." Grandmaster Kuai Liang replied.
Moments later, they heard someone running and coming to them.
"Happy Valentine's Day, people!" Selviya announced this as she threw little hearts of paper at them.
"Here's one for you," she says as she gives young Kuai Liang the box. He looks at the box with bewilderment.
"These are for you," Selviya said, handing over Cyrax and smoke.
"And ones for you two," she gave the two Bi hans.
"Last one for you, Grandmaster!" Selviya gave him the box as she giggled.
"Um, thanks, but what's this?" Young Kuai Liang commented.
"It's chocolate!" She uttered.
"So that's why you left; I knew it, and you knew it on Valentine's Day." Cyrax chuckles at her.
"I knew that you were Sherlock in disguise!" Selviya giggles.
"Thank you, Selviya, for these chocolates!" Both Bi hans answered.
"You are welcome!" She muttered, and she looked at him. The older Bi Han seems tired, and he has black bags under his eyes.
"Sorry to intrude, but have you have trouble in sleeping? You know because of your..." Selviya asked, out of curiosity.
"Yeah, no kidding, being a Noob Saibot is the worst thing ever!" Older Bi Han agreed.
"Tell me more about it; it's just like being in an endless, unending nightmare!" Younger Kuai Liang chimes in.
"Yeah, I guess you know the feeling!" The older Bi Han says, looking at the other Kuai Liang.
"I know someone who can help! She is magical and wise! She will help you!" Selviya declared, and then she looked at the mirror, hoping she could call Aliyaa through it. All in the hall seemed a little bit confused by this, except the Grandmaster. Not Aliyaa who answered her, but a demonic woman with a white bang and Seductive attire, Shoving Selviya out of her way.
"Sareena?" Grandmaster Kuai Liang called.
"Yes, it's me! Thank you for healing Bi-han!" She came and hugged Kuai Liang and Bi Han.
"Um, Sareena, there's something you need to know." Grandmaster Kuai Liang said:
"Well, it's not my brother who saved me. It's her!" Older Bihan pointed to Selviya, who was on the ground because Sareena pushed her out of the way, but she got up and rubbed her clothes.
"I'm not going to brag, but... yeah, he's right!" Selviya Muttered then chuckled.
Sareena looked at her, Looking at the boxes the men carried, Sareena felt hurt inside that Bi han is interested in Selviya and not her. She loved Bihan, but because of this new girl, Selviya, she felt her love and happiness being thwarted by this new lovable stranger. But she misunderstood it all. It was Selviya who gave them all the chocolate boxes, not the other way around.
"Hey! Since it's Valentine's Day, I would like to give you this; Um.. you know, Today is the day of love and such." Selviya awkwardly suggested, and Sareena looks at the box that was offered to her. Sareena will then understand it all. It wasn't the men who wanted to give her the chocolate; it was her!
"Thank you so much! But... what's your name?" Sareena spoke as she gladly accepted the box.
"My name is Selviya Levsloky! What's yours!" Selviya answered with a bright smile.
"It's Sareena! Thanks for the box!" Sareena smiles happily after all; there is nothing to be afraid of. As she opens the box, she is surprised and awed by the colorful chocolate pieces. All with heart shapes and decorations.
She took a piece, took a bite of it, and wow, then she took another one.
"This is so beautiful and delicious; thanks, friend!" Sareena said happily; her cheeks were pinkish-reddish.
"I'm really glad you did!" She replied, then went to the mirror. This time Aliyaa looked at her.
Aliyaa was doing her makeup, But she did it magically. Fast and Lovely.
"Ooh, Selviya.. hehe, good morning, and Happy Valentine's Day!" Aliyaa awkwardly said, chuckling.
"Good morning! And happy Valentine's too, but as you see, we need your help!" Selviya uttered
"Oh, I see, your boyfriend's older brother suffers from nightmares, huh?" Aliyaa guessed. Then she magically appears in front of them.
"Oops! My bad, I forgot the gifts!" Aliyaa apologized, and the chocolate boxes appeared magically in their hands. All of them were astonished, and the newcomer seemed to be a beautiful woman with an elegant dress and hairstyle. Smoke and the younger Kuai Liang were looking at her in awe.
"Aliyaa!!" The younger Bi Han greeted her as he hugs her.
"Bey! How are you today? Oh! And I see that someone saved your brothers too!" Aliyaa chuckles as she looks at Selviya.
"Aliyaa! Thanks for the gifts, but we had something to worry about! My brother, Bihan, suffers from nightmares. Could you give him a little help? Maybe a potion?" Grandmaster Kuai Liang says,
"Oh yeah, about that. Well, let me see his memories and see what troubles him the most!" Aliyaa declared her hand came closer to older Bi Han's forehead, which triggers Sareena. Selviya noticed this and comforted her. Aliyaa puts her palm on Bihan's forehead, her grey eyes glowing.
"Relax, Sareena; she will only see his memories to know how to cure him, nothing else!" Selviya told her.
Sareena breathed calmly and listened to her.
Aliyaa is looking deep inside Bi-han's memories from his birth until his "death", She saw a lot of sorrow and pain, and she must admit that Bi-han's sorrow is really strong and nearly rivals hers. The sorrow of forcibly leaving his mother behind, The pain of abuse by his father to make him what he is now, although Bihan's senses are buried and never questions the morality of the old Lin Kuei, and so many more memories of killing Hanzo Hasashi without mercy and Killing all the monks that were in the temple bad memories came through, and all of them are strong, but No sorrow can rival hers. Opening her eyes finally. She took a breath for a while, then continued seeing the memories.
"Aliyaa, what do you see?" The Grandmaster asked her. he is patiently waiting for her to answer.
All of them are still looking at her. The Dark Black Aura around her is shifting; it's scary and powerful. All of them are afraid of it.
"I see. Sorrow, regret, and turmoil," Aliyaa finally answered.
"And much darker memories need to be forgotten and buried deep inside... You have a really deep, strong sorrow, but no one calls rivals mine. I feel a bit embarrassed by knowing your memories but never telling you about mine, So I'm going to share my sorrow with you!" Aliyaa continued, and with a snap of her fingers, a big round table and Victorian-era chairs appeared On the table are tea and coffee pots and Cups with saucers, snacks, and sweets. Sareena looks at the sweets and snacks; they seem delicious.
"I know that the three of you know my story, but not really the full details. My story began when I was 19 years old. My first loss wasn't my father; actually, it was my mother. Anyway, my mother had an illness called obsessive-compulsive disorder. At first, she was a wonderful mother, but then she became abusive; she used to hit me, Scream at me, and punish me for no reason at all. It was that day that I had enough, so I pushed her up the stairs. She fell. I heard her bones shatter before she died. She called me a monster. I was sad, regretting that I pushed her. You know the negative feelings. Yeah, I killed my mother unintentionally. Then there was this mage called Ashure; he and my aunt knew each other. My Aunt sacrificed my father to cure her son. Which was a lie from Ashure to Know if I am the promised child. That will give him incredible wealth and such." Aliyaa stopped, Taking a sip of her tea. All of them felt sad, especially The older Bi Han
"After that, My father fell ill in a day or two; he was dying in my arms. He told me he loved me no matter what and that I was a gift from God. I found out eventually that it was my Aunt who did this, so I killed her in front of her child's eyes. I made him forget by using my newfound magic. And I went out looking for revenge. I still remember these days. I went to Hudranoic. His name is Donovan. He taught me magic and everything I needed to know. And then I had my revenge; I finally killed Ashure!" Aliyaa Continued telling her story.
"I feel sorry. We didn't know that you had to suffer silently." Younger Kuai said.
"It's okay. Those days are gone now. Suffer no more!" She says this as she smiles at them all.
"So anyway, There are two options. One seems hard, and one is easy, depending on you and your limits to overcome it!" Aliyaa suggested with a bright smile.
"Which one is more effective?" Bi Han inquired.
"Both are effective! But it still depends on you!" She replied, She holds an object with her two fingers.
"What's this?" Grandmaster Kuai Liang said.
"It's called the needle of comfort; I used to use this to comfort me. I mean the potion deluged in the needle, not the needle itself; using the same object transforms diseases," she replied, as she handed the needle to Bi Han.
"Remember to softly jab the needle into your knuckles," she advised; she also handed him the potion bottle.
"Thank you, Aliyaa!" Bi Han thanked her.
"Aliyaa! You cannot make him addicted to this!" Grandmaster Kuai Liang interjected, clearly refusing this solution.
"He needs to relax a bit and decrease the amount of negative emotion and stress he has for himself!" Aliyaa calmly stated that he only stared at her.
"Trust me, he needs time to move on, just like I did!" She continues. He sighs while still maintaining eye contact with her.
"Hope this works. Thank you for the help." The Grandmaster Kuai Liang replied, I'm hoping it works, and hopefully Bi Han can sleep at night.
"You're welcome!" She replied, then she left.
Selviya came to Kuai Liang, she hugged Older Kuai Liang.
"Are you ready?" She whispered to him.
"Yes, I am love~" He whispered behind her back.
Selviya excused them from leaving. After a few moments, The grandmaster, Kuai Liang, did the same. Since Bihan wanted to sleep, he let the other Bihan Take care of Lin-Kuei at his behest.
Selviya went to their shared room, and he followed her. He came, opening the door.
"So, are you ready?" He asked, and she nodded.
"Yes! But before we go! We must dress to blend in!" She said, smiling at him,
"Okay!" He answered She used the Crystal Silvernium to dress them in Virginian clothing.
And it did: Selviya with a beautiful dress and a head cover, and Kuai with a men's dress.
"This is weird, but in a good way!" He commented.
Selviya opens the portal that led them to Virginia. They entered it. They are near the huge gates of a Beautiful City.
"So, this is Virginia?" Kuai asked, completely amazed by it.
"No, this is only a city of many many cities of Virginia; it's called Al Durrah City!" Selviya says They heard beautiful Arabic music.
Beautiful views of markets, and people are happy. And it seems there is a celebration taking place. Arabian foods on many plates
"Oh, these are grape leaves! I love it so much." Selviya said, Kuai looks at it; it seems strange and sticky too.
"Ajil ya sayidah," the shop worker said, agreeing with Selviya that he offers a full plate for them. Kuai Liang did not understand what the guy said; he nearly mistook it for flirting with her.
"He said yes, lady!" She whispered to Kuai. He nodded, Feeling a wave of relief wash over him.
She eats another one of the Grape leaves. Savoring the pomegranate molasses.
"So delicious," she muttered while chewing it. She offers Kuai Liang one, but he kindly refuses. They were walking around the streets of Al Durrah City.
While Kuai Liang was busy looking around, she fed him one of the Grape leaves. He was shocked at first, but he ate it and liked it.
"So you liked it, huh? Want another one?" She asked, and he nodded, licking his lips to savor the pomegranate molasses.
"Yes please!" He replied, She handed the plate to him. And he took another and chewed it.
"You did not tell me there was rice inside it!" Kuai Liang complained.
"Well, you didn't like it by the looks of it, but you didn't tell me that you liked rice," she replied to him while eating another one.
"These are delicious." He compliments the food.
"I knew you would like it!" She giggles at him.
They reached a shop that sells heart-shaped gems and such. Selviya was wowed by this. She is in love with this city and its markets.
"Eafwan sayidi, walakin kam thaman hadha?" Selviya asked the shop worker, (How much does this cost?)
"'iinaha b 1 dinar faqat! Saydah!" The shopworker answered It's only 1 dinar, lady!)
"'awadu 'an akhidh athnayn min hawula'i!" Selviya says I would like to take two of these!) He nodded. Kuai could not understand what they were saying, but he assumed that Selviya wanted to buy the heart-shaped object.
"Tafadali ya sayiduh," he says as he hands her (here you go, lady!) Selviya knew what she bought, and she paid the price.
After that, the two continue walking the streets of the city. Kuai Liang feels another cryomancer in the city along with him and Selviya. He knew that this cryomancer was near them. Kuai Looks around, searching for him or her. He Caught a guy in one of the markets making ice with his hand out of nowhere. So this is another cryomancer.
"Selviya, look there!" He whispered to her and pointed towards that guy with his face. He knew that pointing fingers was rude, so he pointed it at her with his face. She looked there and gasped; there was a man. Fully clothed and covering his face with a cloth, he was wearing nomadic clothing with light-tanned skin, and he was making ice without anyone seeing him.
"Let's go to him; maybe he knows what happened!" Kuai Liang suggested, she nodded. while reaching for him, Kuai Liang cleared his throat to gain his attention.
"Marhaba!" the guy greeted as he quickly gets up and hides what he is making.
"you sell ice?" Kuai Liang asked.
"Yes, I do!" He answered It seems he knows the language of English.
"Are you making ice as well with your hand?" Kuai Liang muttered, Shocking him.
"Ah, yes, I have had this gift since my birth. Why ask Sadiqi?" The guy answered He seems afraid of something, although the fact that these two saw what he did
"Don't worry, Sadiqi! We have the same gift. Are you a Cryomancer that came from Edenia?" Selviya asked, Shockingly, he nodded.
"Yes, that was a long time ago, eh? How about we discuss this somewhere else?" The guy said, they nodded, and he gestured to the back of the shop where there was a place where they could sit and chat.
"Yes, as you say, I and my tribe left running from the Tryant Queen Sindel. She saw us as a threat to her reign, knowing that we are powerful and that we rebel. However, after she murdered her husband, Jerrod, she fought us and called us traitors, and she accused us of the murder of King Jerrod." The guy stops to take a breath.
"This Sindel will pay." Kuai Liang promised.
"We are forced to leave, The children, the elders because of her we left our home, But we find much beautiful place, after we ran, the people who know to open portals open one to this place and we all went inside it, We found a person who they refer as a Superior, he welcomed us to This place, this place is a paradise compare to Edenia, To be honest, I never liked Edenia because of Sindel,"
"And where are the others?" Kuai Liang asked.
"Many of us are in Virginia, But The other tribe favors the Frozen place called Flistervainia, which you will find in the east. They also tell of a tribe called the Iceborns," the guy says.
"Thank you for telling us; I felt relieved to know that some of my people are here!" Kuai Liang says he got up to leave; Selviya follows him.
"So we are going to continue, huh?" Selviya asked
Yes, we are going to continue our work here!" Kuai Liang replied to her.
This chapter is over; I hope you enjoy it!
