51- dreams

You haven't seen such a breathtaking place in a long while. Your eyes skim over the waterfall that falls from between the mountains, and the stream that flows in front of you.

"Where did you bring me..."

The sky was growing darker and the stream was sparkling with moonlight's magic, there are night blooming flowers and fireflies that fly over them, there's trees that conceal this little wonderland.

"How did you even find this place?" You turn around to look at him, finding him looking at you with a gaze of love. Your question snaps him out of it.

He brings up a hand to rub his neck as he answers you. "Just randomly, while I was searching for a good scenery to paint."

He wears that gaze up his eyes again as he looks at you, blinking softly like he just fell in love with you for the first time again.

"I have a lot of memories from here." He walks towards you, your eyes raise gradually as you try to look at his face on his tall figure that towers you.

His fingers point behind you at a wooden branch, all the way on the other side of this shallow little stream in front of you, crowded with rocks.

"That's where I'd usually keep my easel and tools. I used to paint so much here, I can bet there's still paint marks on the rocks from random splashes, if the rain hasn't washed them away." He smiles as you look back at the area.

"And every single time." You look back at him as he continues. "Every single painting I made of this place, was always different and unique. I never painted this place the same way twice. I don't even know how it happened, it just did."

He holds your hand and walks you into the stream, the cool water making you flinch out a giggle as you gasp, bending down to feel the water with your hand.

"This stream is where I painted so many fishes, red and orange. Spreading colours on the canvas randomly, then drawing the outlining with black ink." 

You move your hand to and fro in the water before splashing some onto him. A mischievous grin climbs your lips as he takes in what you just did.

"Just watch now." he says and you scream, cutting through the water as you try to exit the stream as fast as you can.

He splashes some water on your back, you yell out loud. "I still have rituals to do at the ceremony. Don't ruin my clothes!!"

"You asked for it!" He replies.

Stepping out of the water, you run away to hide behind a tree as you wait for him to get out as well.

"Oh, and this tree." He refers to the one you're standing under.

"When I used to get tired, I used to sleep under this tree for a while, hoping to get some new ideas through the dreams I watch. Dreams are really special to me, you never know what they may show you, leave you confused and wrecked of emotions, that's why I like talking about them so much."

He walks up to you and palms a hand on the bark of the tree, you fondly listen to him and his voice that draws you in to listen more.

"They matter to me, and I believe in them. They really show you a lot of alluring things, like the way I first saw you, right when I was under this tree."

He says and your lips part.

He reaches out for something inside his pocket, and brings out a small piece of cloth, tied into a scroll with a brown string.

"I saw you and I was on my knees. Even inside a dream, you stole my heart." His fingers fiddle with the strings for a second before pulling them apart and opening the knot.
