The Grand Narrative: Aftermath

Celebration

Time has passed and all seems well, the points had well adjusted to their lives. They have grown close to Celesteal, yet Solgon remained cold towards him, he didn't mind it though. Anshine and Stratosfear were in the estate discussing about important matters, when they heard knocking at the door. Anshine got up and opened it, Celesteal stood there as Anshine gave him a skeptical look before speaking.

"Hello there Celesteal, is there something wrong?"

"Oh no, it's nothing bad, though I need to tell you two something"

"Hm, alright, come in and take a seat"

Celesteal nodded and went inside, taking a sit near the two.

"What did you want to talk about, Celesteal?"

"Well, I want to ask a question first of all"

"Sure"

"When you two went with Yawgate to find out about Clark, has he ever told your his birthday?"

Stratosfear was surprised at his question, looking skeptical at him.

"Well.. He didn't seem to remember much, aside from his name and birth year to confirm his age, but he never really told us the exact day. I don't know why, but it was either he didn't remember or he would rather keep it a secret"

"It's today, April 2nd, today is his birthday"

"It's today?! We should do something for him"

"And that's why I came here to tell you guys, I know he knows it's today, I can tell by the way he behaves today. And I just want to do something for him to make up for the time we lost to be a father to him. You two had been with him since he woke up from his coma, I know you know something about him that I still don't"

"How thoughtful, though he is quite simple with his interests, it's probably not too different to what you used to know of him as a child-"

"-he likes to wear comfortable things, learning combat, coliseums and has an interest in books about magic, he doesn't talk about that last one though"

"That one's- surprising, never knew he was into that"

"Well that's something you can take into consideration"

"Right, so I've also informed some others about this, you can go plan with them"

"What about you?"

"I'll be figuring out what gift I can give for my son of course"

"I see, good luck with that Celesteal"

"Thank you, I will give now"

They nodded as Celesteal got up and left the estate and into a portal, Clark is in the yawrail, seemingly taking his daily trip to Lumonis.

"Hey Clark, isn't today-"

"My birthday? I know, though it's not that important"

"What? Birthdays are important, and so is yours"

"I didn't even celebrate all my birthdays including my 18th birthday"

"But now you remember everything, you have a great, yet questionable father and friends that care for you, surely that makes your birthday important to them"

"Most of them don't know my birthday, I refused to tell"

"Celesteal could tell them you know"

"It doesn't matter, the day itself is indeed the day my father created me into existence, but I don't really feel like it's something different, today's just a calm and peaceful day"
