Ethereal slumber- Raiden shogun x Tomo

Chapter 35

After a long day of writing letters, Yae cracked her knuckles and yawned, as her fluffy ears twitched.

"What time is it?" Yae asked and stood up from the chair, as she opened a window.

The sky shown a dark hue of blue in the sky with the moon and stars luster there way through the dense clouds from up above.

Yae sighed and turned to Ei who was organizing and inspecting each boxes.

"Ei~ Are you done, darling?" Yae asked with her arms crossed "Yes, I'm just double checking if they are all complete for tomorrow's trip" Ei said and Yae walked closer to the archon.

Yae placed her arms over Ei's shoulder "Get some rest, Ei. It's already late and I'm..." Yae paused and yawned

Ei giggled and spoke "Okay. Let me just call Sara to pack these away"

Yae lets go of her embrace on Ei and watched her leave the room.

After Ei called Sara to pack the boxes and deliver them to their destinations by tomorrow. She came back and Yae spoke farewell to her, as the Kitsune left Tenshukaku.

Ei watched the priestess left Tenshukaku, as she was on top of the rooftop above where her chamber was.

Ei sat down and stared at the moon hovering over the nation "hmm... my mission is almost at its end. I don't know if whether I should be happy or sad... why do I feel sadness?" Ei asked herself and sighed

She closed her eyes and teleported herself to the plane of euthymia.

Ei feels someone caressing her head and planting a peck on her forehead.

When she opened her eyes, she felt happiness seeing the one she love there with her.

Ei was resting her head on Tomo's lap, as he continues to caressing her long purple locks.

"My mission is almost ending. What do you think I should do after everything is done?" Ei asked

Tomo hummed and spoke "Well, how about deliver everyone's wishes personally. But it all depends on your decision" Ei smiled "I like your suggestion. I will do it once this is over" Ei said

"Yeah... once this is over..." Tomo mumbled and catches a sakura petal falling down from the large sakura tree that remained there.

"Is there something to share about back when you were still alive?" Ei asked and Tomo gave her a soft smile "I have a friend once back then that was soft, friendly, caring, and nice towards both elderly and children" Tomo said

"It's like you're describing yourself" Ei commented and Tomo giggled "Yes, but I was totally different back when I was 16 compared to myself now" Tomo said

"What does he look like?" Ei asked "hmm... his hair was midway long and his hair was in a shade of dark blue just like the vast ocean under the midnight sky that resembles the hue of color in his eyes, the sweetest smile he always gave me was unforgettable..." Tomo said the description of his beloved friend

"The time passes each and everyday, as my memories of him slowly fades away, just like how he went missing years ago..." Tomo said and Ei's smile was replaced with sorrow.

"What was his name?" Ei asked and Tomo gave her a sad smile "I can't remember... but to be honest, he reminds me of you" Tomo said which made Ei's smile return to her.

"Did you made letters for the 10 deceased people from Yashiori Island?" Tomo asked "No. there were no descriptions of their relatives, so I will just visit their grave and offer their vision back to them" Ei said
