Star and Mago

Mate and Comrade

Mago got home early and prepared everything for tomorrow. She realized that she needs to contact Star but he didn't have a phone. The moment she thinks of him her tummy felts like tightened into a grip. She trap her face with her plans and declares she's hallucinating. She decided to go out in the nearby store and buy a phone for Star. As much as he is a somewhat a stranger, she cannot afford to not care.

Walking back, she bought some meat, fish, vegetables, poultry products and fruits in the way. The orange rays of the sun looks warming and the breeze is refreshing. Sipping into her Wintermelon Milktea and enjoying the sago. Such a beautiful day indeed.

When she arrives in her house, she got a mail in her mailbox from her parents. She puts her stuff in the kitchen before she opens up the envelope. The parchment paper smells so good. In the letter, her mama is asking how's she's doing and if everything is going well and that her mama and papa missed her so much. She smiled by thinking about them. What a doting parent she have. She smell the paper one more time before putting it back to the envelope and keep it in the console table before returning to the kitchen. She washed and arranged the stuff to the right places.

She gets into the bathroom to take a hot bath. She almost screamed when she took off her clothes. A dragon tattoo that looks like a red birthmark is swirling all over her body. The head is leaning in her right shoulder almost reaching the area of her breast. Though the rest of the dragons body is actually covering her body down to her left leg. She thought she just had a dream about the guy in the shrine and the dragon but here it is, the missing dragon becomes a tattoo into her body. Is this what he means to be by my side for eternity? Looks like it's not my side but my body! What a possessive dragon I got here. She complained trying to rubbed off the tattoo to no avail.

Nedemo: I only have one rare chance in a thousand year to meet my mate, my love and I think that's enough explanation why I need to imprint myself to you even if it means to your body. Also, there's nothing wrong with that as I am your other half and to share everything with you would be the greatest pleasure for me.

After saying that the tattoo moved, becomes smoke and formed into the guy she saw in the shrine.

Mago: Mate huh? It makes sense at the same time surreal. By the way, I'm taking a shower. Go out!

Instead of moving away, he embrace her from behind with his right arms around her torso and planted a tender kiss in her neck before looking into the mirror.

Nedemo: Why not we bath together, we can saved water you know.

He reasoned to her bored mate that surprisingly not minding they are both naked.

Mago: I can't believe I got a lover instantly when I just set off to stand on my own. Alright, it's 5:30 already. I need to cook dinner by six. Scrub my back, please. Can't reach it.

There they go, bathing together with Nedemo in service to his majesty. (Author->😂). While bathing, Mago explained about Star as her comrade and currently staying with her in the same house. He tends to be possessive and she anticipated that by sharing he might mean even in thoughts just like earlier before he turns into his human form, he use telepathy to communicate with her. That sensation of tight grip in her tummy might be his reaction when she thinks of Star earlier. She could get into trouble if she won't tell him now. He turned stiff when she mention of Star and that confirms her thought.

Mago: I don't want to get into trouble that's why I'm telling you this even though we just met.

She said looking back at him.

Nedemo: Well, I'm just going to burn anyone to crisp if they try to steal you from me.

Mago laugh on him.

Mago: That is crazy.

When they finish off the bath, Nedemo turns himself back into Mago's tattoo.

Mago cooks a pork sinigang for dinner. Just in time, Star arrives.

Star: Humnnn, smells good. What's that?

He said when he open the door.

Mago: Perfect timing, dinners ready. It's pork sinigang. Take a seat and dunk in!

She pointed him to the chair. As obedient as he is, he took a seat and dunk in. Just like the smell of the food, it taste so good. A well-balanced sourness from the tamarind and the other ingredients.

Mago: How was your training?

Star: Ohh, it went well and there is a lot of good people in there

Mago: That's cool. I bet you made some friends already. Get your phone in the center table in the living room later. You can ask your friends how to use it. I have your phone number and I saved mine to your phone as well. I might be calling you or you can contact me if you need something. It's not the most updated unit but still handy and decent.

Star was left speechless. Not because he is surprised but because he don't understand anything. Nedemo told Mago about it through telepathy and he get scolded.

Mago: Don't peek into other people's mind. Let them be, you'll spoil the fun.

Nedemo: What fun?

Mago: From innocent minds.

Nedemo: Why does I am getting a feeling that my mate has an evil plan.

Mago: Shut up! I don't, it's just that sometimes, it's fun when you're dealing with people who have innocent minds but I hope it will not cause him harm.

Nedemo: Yeah, you have some point there. Do you know that this guy is actually an outcast?

Mago: Nope! Don't have an idea.

Nedemo: He is. Have you heard of fallin angels?

Mago: Don't tell me-

Nedemo: Yes. He is a fallin angel cast out from heaven.

Mago: Looks like I've hit hard my head somewhere and a lot of things going on in my head now. Unbelievable!

Nedemo: It may look like that, my love, but it's true.

Mago: How do you even know that?

Nedemo: I just know it.

Mago: That doesn't make sense. Can you explain why he can't remember anything about himself?

Nedemo: Absolutely and him not remembering anything about himself is normal. An outcast memory has been totally wiped out to prevent them from intervening the plans of the heaven. They can cause trouble if they had their memories or they can even change the entirity of whatever written in the book of life. They were reborn as a human as part of their punishment. He have done something wrong that leads him to what he is now.

Mago: What an unfortunate fate.
