SACRIFICE (BL) [COMPLETED]

Chapter 23 Last Encounter

"U-Uhm...those four are my playmates...t-they are usually kind...they must be just scared because no one had visited us except for Celestine. B-By the way Mister, the clothes that fit you are under the drawer of the cabinet. You must be cold so please cover up, I don't have any medicine if you get sick."

The child said in a worried tone and he jumped down from the bed to get the firewoods but before he opened the backdoor, he hesitantly looked back to ask Suppasit something.

"And....will you be staying over until morning? I think it's already night time." from the looks of him, he is excited that he has someone to talk to after so many years. Although the child is content with the spirits, it still feels different for him to interact with someone who wasn't a mythical creature.

Suppasit didn't answer so the child went out taking his silence as a no, when he was gone the Emperor unclenched his palm and tried to use his fire ability again but to his dismay he still couldn't.

He turned around to the cabinet again and opened the drawer. He wore Alexander's black pants and white long sleeves top and coincidentally saw a hand mirror in the corner of the drawer.

He picked it up and used it.

He finally understood why he couldn't use any of his abilities.

His eyes are still blue. Meaning, he's still partially in his werewolf form. Controlling nature is the only thing he can do.

A few minutes later, the child came back hugging a handful of firewood, Suppasit rushed to him and took half of it.

"Sorry for intruding, I'll have to stay here for the meantime but I'll leave as soon as possible. You can sleep in the bed while I'll take the couch." how ironic that he's saying these things when the house belongs to him.

"Ah! No need. I don't sleep in the cabin at night. We only play here and eat." The child refused while lighting up the firewoods in the chimney. Suppasit was taken aback again.

"You don't sleep inside? Then where do you sleep?"

"In my house?"

Suppasit frowned because he knows there aren't houses built near their cabin.

"Do you wanna see it? It's just in the backyard." the child glanced at him after throwing the remaining firewoods in the burning chimney. Suppasit followed him and they went outside.

"But there's nothing in there aside from the white willow tree and the water well." he says while walking and the child pointed at the orb that is inside the center of the trunk.

"That's where I sleep. I wanted to invite you and sleep with me but two people can't fit in there." The child shyly said and he looked up to the glowing tree.

"Isn't it pretty? It shines like the moon. Celestine also told me I was born inside that orb so the spirits call me Orby."

He shared his story and Suppasit couldn't believe what he was hearing and seeing. He realized something after finding out the cabin is where they lived.

The place where the tree is standing is definitely where Nattarin was buried.

"Just who are you?" Suppasit eyes landed on the child beside him, he had a complicated look on his face.

"I'm Orby?" the child nonchalantly replied while the man wiped his face in exasperation.

"No fucking way. That fucking old man must be kidding me." Suppasit chuckled as he stared at the tree once more.

Is everything just a coincidence? That he found the cabin where they lived, that the tree grew on top of Nattarin's grave and the tree's leaves color is exactly like Alexander's hair. Now that he grasped everything, the tree isn't white but gray.
