How they met

A big source of light beamed across the place. That empty dark place shined when a force fell from the heavens, Uhaddah, the god of life and future walked down from the heavens and his soldiers made a path for him to walk through.

The god took out his cane and point it out and that's how the earth was made. Baby's breath grew from the ground that it can be considered unusual to the naked eyes, the trees are tall but the colors are blue. The leaves range from the color sky blue to indigo.

A hole was made up when he stumped his feet then the water from the seas merged to make an ocean and the fishes fly inside of it. The mountains bulged and came in different shapes. All of his creations had his little, big, and wild animals in them.

Shown upon the lake, a little boy who has a shiny face with bright hair and a glorious smile. He lives in the woods with flying fish as his friends. It's a shiny morning when he's awakened by the rays of the sun that touched his face.

He heard unusual noises from where he is, it's not the birds chirping or the sound of leaves that moves when the wind touches them. He hid behind the bushes and watch where the noise came from. A figure of a man with golden hair and blowing a stick that has voices in it.

He felt strange and fascinated by the unknown feeling. His heart jumped while the sound changed its beat and he unknowingly closed his eyes. The man moved and he suddenly opened his eyes and hid in the bushes while sneaking to see the man.

"Is anybody there?" The man stood and nervously looked around.
"Get out!" The little boy hid more and the man came closer from where he is. He reached the neck of the little boy from the bushes.

The boy tried to get away from him but he didn't succeed and finally, the man set him free. The boy nervously stand in front of him while uttering,
"You're not a man," the boy said while stuttering.

"Of course, I'm not a man! Is that how you greet your highness?" the girl whom he thought was a man is a girl after all.
"I just thought. . . your hair is covering your face and you're tall," the boy explained still not looking at the girl's eyes.

"Goodness gracious! How disrespectful of you! I'm the goddess of wind and all that would harm shall die!" The girl angrily turned her back with furrowed eyebrows.

Silence covered them and the flying fishes are dancing around until they noticed that the sun is setting in the lake. Such a nice view and they're both watching with a stranger, the girl glanced at the boy who intently looked at the beauty of the sun.

Minutes later and they heard running footsteps of horses and as soon as the seconds passed it's getting nearer. The girl stood up and fixed her dress and meet the knights with their horses.

"Hide on the bushes, don't let them find you," the girl commanded and the boy suddenly hid.

"Who are they and who are you?" the boy asked curiously

"They came for me and if they will see you, they might hear you so hide. What's your name?"

The girl purposely ignored his question.
"I don't have a name," the boy said

"Strange. I'll call you Callum from now on." The girl walked a few steps away from him but he reached for her hand.

"Will you come back?" The girl answered him with a smile and patted his head, she walked out from the woods and meet the guys who came to fetch her. The boy hid while following the girl by his eyes until they were gone in his sight.

The boy went home when it was finally dark. He fixed where he was sleeping and he laid on the ground and looked at the moon.

"My heart is jumping with glee because of unknown reasons but I'm not scared or worried. She gave me a name and I hope that she'll come back and call me by that...will she?" he said to himself and a hit of air touched his face that brought him to sleep. On the other side, the girl combed her golden hair and signal the air to send her goodnight to Callum.
