Star and Mago

Hired

So, Star does not possess papers of finishing even a high school. All he had, a perfect and honest resume that he does not finish studying, but if given a chance, he'll do his best. That's what Mago thinks of. She was quite annoyed that she has been snab and all of their attention pours down to Star. In fact, he was instantly hired while she was rejected. The personnel said that the job doesn't fit her. She's tiny for it according to them and she almost cried. She's too desperate to get a job sooner but this can't bring her hopes down. Before she left, she talk to Star and left him a cash enough for his meal and transportation allowance. Star hit the jackpot of instantly hired and instantly trained on the same day.

Not getting hired, but she's happy for Star. He might embodied his name, a Star. Now, she on the other hand might be some dusk in the space, left unnoticed. She's walking to nowhere in particular. She wanted her feet to lead her into somewhere interesting. Just a couple of blocks, she arrive in an old and abandoned shrine. The place looks eerie but it pumps up her excitement to unravel some mystery. She gets into the shrine. She burn some insence and pray for the Almighty to give her luck into finding a job. After that, due to her curiosity, she actually managed to enter and wander off. The place looks like a Japanese home she saw in Japanese anime. She's amazed by its beauty and when she enters the inner part of the shrine, she saw a man kneeling and praying. A normal person and not a Japanese one. He's wearing a jeans and a white shirt. She thought that the guy has been into some tragic situations that he comes to the core of this place to pray. However, he spoke the moment she took a step to go back outside. Loud and clear, "Wait!". Crap! Maybe he's the guardian of this place. I hope he's not thinking I am applying to work here. What would I be if work in a shrine? A deity? From her peripheral vision, she saw him standing and walk to her direction but she did not take a step. "It has been a thousand years, moving across this planet from places to places to find my one and only and the gods has finally ended the long wait." the guy said. He had an angelic soothing voice but he sounded as if he's longing into something directed to her and when she turn to him, she felt uneasiness. He is surely a handsome guy but with his sparkling eyes directed to her, it's creepy for her. Before she gets a chance to move, she's instantly engulf into his arms and squeeze tightly to his broad chest. Though an unfamiliar feeling is pouring into her, the embrace felts too comfy telling her she's at home so, she gave in into the comforts. "I've finally found you." he said. The comforts almost made her want to sleep and let her stressful day forgotten but if she would think of the situation seriously, she's basically intimately hugging a complete stranger. "I don't mean to be rude but I don't really understand what you're saying." she confess and look into him. "You don't need to understand everything right now. One day, you'll find out about me, but moving forward until eternity, I will be by your side." he said kissing her in her forehead and he turn into an oriental blood-red dragon. The dragon's body swirls around her and slowly turning into smoke and into nothingness.

She heard chirping of birds, warmth from the afternoon sun and a mild breeze. When she finally opened her eyes, she's in the middle of an octagon stage-looking place somewhere in the shrine. The place is a beauty itself and it is calming. "I've been slacking off again and I've been fall asleep and get some weird dreams." she stood up and dust herself and goes out of the shrine. The moment she got out, she bump into someone. A middle-aged guy who looks surprised. "Finally, I've found you!" he said. "What?! I've heard of that lines somewhere." she said as if she's having déjà vu. "Come with me." he said pulling her into the nearby car. "Hey! Hey! Hey! What's going on here? Where are you taking me? I, Mago deserve an explanation right here right now!" she blurted. "Calm yourself little Miss. We're not going to do something horrible to you." he said as he opened the door in the back seat and telling her to get in. A lot of scenarios has been played into her mind, but she gets into the car anyway. "I have noticed you a couple of times here in the city from one store to another." the old man said. "Looks like a stalker to me now. Should I worry?" she sarcastically said. The old man laugh it off. "Maybe, but honestly, by chance I am looking for another personnal assistant for my young master. You see, we are need of a helping hand to do some errands that I can't or in times of my absence and I think it best suits you." he said cheerfully. The sarcasm mood turned 360 into an enthusiastic one. Mago looks at him with twinkling eye. Man! The fruit of my prayers comes to life." Yes, you're hired as a personal assistant for Mr. Elton MonteClaro. " The declaration ring-a-bell and it felts like she win a lottery. She's finally get a job. On their way, Mr. Denmark Villarreal explained everything. The task she's going to take, like and dislike of the boss, do's and what not, salary inclusion and when they arrive in the office, she signs the contract. "Congratulations, Mago. You'll start tomorrow and don't forget to keep your phone line open. I might be calling you by morning." he said before she left the office to go home and prepare. Before going home, she passed by the shrine and gave her thanks.
