PURPLE HYACINTH

THE SNOW PEARL

We traded through the snow. But however long this path is I have to reach that cave. Well first I have to find the cave. Because no matter how far we see it's only just snow! Nothing else.

We keep walking and walking but still can't find the cave. Even till midday we walked aimlessly but with no results. In the cold snowy mountains I found myself sweating because of how far I'm walking. I looked at Yibo by my side only to see his face pale.

"Hey, Yibo! Are you alright?" I rushed to his side. He doesn't look normal to me.

He gets something out of his pocket and holds it hard in his hands. He was getting me worried but I didn't have any other way to know what he's feeling.

Well I can just feel his heart given the fact that we're mates. But for a few days I just can't feel anything. Maybe my disease was just making me weaker than I should be.

"Yibo. Tell me what's wrong?" I held him close to my heart. "What do you feel? Tell me!"

"I'm okay. We dragon faes don't function well in the cold. That's all."

Is it? But why do I feel like he's hiding something?

I let that go for now. Because we have to find the cave first. But in the middle of whiteness where do I find a single cave? The fact that it's the mountains and the snow structure keeps changing here doesn't help either way. Let alone I've seen it in a dream, from thousand years ago.

No! No, no! I shake my head to get myself out of the hopelessness I was feeling. I have to find that cave. No matter what.

"Yibo, do you think we can have any help to find the cave?"

He looks at me with a strange look. As if he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"Why do you look like you don't know what I'm talking about?"

"Because I don't?" He sounds unsure.

"Well did you not see the cave?"

His face shows uneasiness. "Well, no!"

"What the hell, Wang Yibo?" I was frustrated. No. That would be an understatement. I was more than frustrated. "You don't know what we're looking for and you dare follow me out here in the middle of nowhere looking for something you have no idea about?"

Damn it Wang Yibo! How can you be so stupid?

He comes closer to me. And holds my face with his both hands. The heat from his palms seeping into me through my skin.

"And you can't take the cold for god's sake! How are we supposed to find it now?"

He still holds my face, his eyes boring into my own. Oh no! I can't do this!

"Hey hey hey! Calm down. We're gonna find it. How hard can it be?"

"Well not that hard! Except there's no sign of a cave. And I don't fucking know a sign to find it." I throw my hands in the air. "And we're in the middle of nowhere with nothing but snow around us."

This made him smile. This fucking made him smile! My frustrations make him smile?

He felt what I was feeling. And stops smiling. His face turns into that of seriousness. And looks deep into my eyes and conveys everything he wanted me to feel. And it was warm. A fuzzy feeling that you get only when you're in love. It gives you the impression that you can do anything. You can cross any barrier. You can cross mountains and rivers to find that one person that is your home.

"You are my home, Zhan. And we're gonna do it together. Okay?"

It instantly calms me down.

The bothersome feeling that was lingering at the corner of my mind that I couldn't feel Yibo's presence in my mind stopped too.

Oh no. I can't melt now.

"Hey hey hey. Look at me. Do you remember what it looks like? The cave?"

I shake my head. I really didn't remember.

But then a picture flashed in my mind.

"A hyacinth."

"What?" Yibo was confused. I mean anyone would be.

"There was a single hyacinth at the entrance."

"But hyacinths don't grow in the snow!"

Fair point. Then there must be a magic field around the cave for a hyacinth to grow there. So we can sense the field with our own essense. Right!

"Heighten your senses. Your core can sense the cave." I told Yibo. At the same time I do the same.

My snow power was already strong in the cold and right after I started finding it I felt a faint presence of an alien field not far away. I look at Yibo and saw that he felt it too.

We both follow our instincts and we reached to a platou. But there was nothing.

Yibo does a quick runaround of the area a d came back to me. "This is where the field is most strong."

"But there's no cave!"

"But there's no cave!"

We both say at the same time. What do we do now?

Yibo looks down and gets something out of his pocket. It was a red pearl. When close to it, the pearl emitted faint heat.

"The fire pearl?"

Yibo looks at me. He wasn't surprised. As if he knew that I would know.

"The fire pearl."

And we both knew what was going to happen. And as if on cue the ground started shaking and a hyacinth was visible. We held each other's hand to stand out ground but still no cave.

The hyacinth was light purple in colour and was long and striving. As if the coldness couldn't touch its core at all.

I don't know why but I touched the flower out of instinct. And instantly I held a snow white pearl in my palm.

"The first hyacinth. Meaning asking for forgiveness."

Do I have to ask for forgiveness? But to who? And what for?
