Meeting The Children!

On the same day, at the Forbidden Forest. 

"Honey! Have you done yet..?" Shouted Sherlock who's waiting for his wife. 

"Just a minute! My hair is on the way..!" Said Raya, struggling tying her hair into braids. 

"You need help..?" Sherlock comes to her and started helping with the braids.

"Thank you, Darling.." Raya said. 

"Why do you always have a problem with your hair..?" Asked Sherlock.

"What..? No. It's just... I can do all types of hairstyle except for braids... Because mother always do it for me and I refused to learn how to do it since I love every time she do it for me.." Complained Raya.

"You know mother wanted to kill you before..." Sherlock sighed, he has finished the braids.

"I know... But it's ok now! We should meet the kids! They must have been missed us!" Said Raya who turned back and hugged Sherlock.

"I'm not sure if Reece is fine... He has your old behavior..." Said Sherlock worriedly while hugging her wife back and patting her head.

"Don't worry! He has Serenity! Your daughter are also like you!" Said Raya while hugging her husband more tightly because of excitement. 

"Honey... Let's go... We're going to be late..." Sherlock said, give up on fighting back.

"Hehe.. Let's go!".

Raya teleported her husband with her to the outside of the forest. They were only 400 meters away from the town. The town was called Rhegyrna Town, A big town in the east of Stummeseon Empire. There's 4 big town in Stummeseon Empire. On the north, there's Sinonia town. On the east was Rhegyrna Town. The west was Sklavateia and the south is Rhodyria. There's also small towns, villages and valleys. 'mageía gia ólous' is on the north, since Sinonia town is the biggest town in Stummeseon Empire. In Sinonia, there's a valley called Blackfort. It was a ghost valley. It may sound dangerous but it's not. Raya has a friend there who owns the valley. She and his husband both a teacher for Raya's and Sherlock's children. Her friend named Emaline Linden and the husband was Henley Linden. The two of them are not human, there were ghost. But they once living in a peaceful life until they died together because of the war from 17 years ago. The couple got married after they both died and became a ghost. Raya was the one who hold their marriage since they can only stay forever on earth. They look young even though 17 years have passes. They were 18 years old at that time. Emaline was a talented young knight and Henley was a famous baker. They married when they're 20 years old after meeting Raya when they're 19 years old. Even though they're ghost, they're still living a normal life. Raya was 1 years old younger than them while Sherlock was 1 years old older than them. 

"Come on! Let's go" Said Raya who pulled her husband's left hand. Sherlock can only followed her while holding her right hand. 

When they came out of the woods, The two couples look stunning, luckily they did not attracted people's attention because they were wearing coats. Raya was wearing a red coat while Sherlock was wearing a blue coat. "Honey... Please, slow down.." Said Sherlock. "Oh- Sorry.." Replied Raya.

Then she asked "Should we buy a gift for them..?" . "Sure. We should also buy a gift for the kids" Sherlock said while walking beside Raya after she slowed down. "Hmm... I think the kids would like a paired gift" Said Raya who's thinking. "They both has long hairs. How about a paired hair tie?" Said Sherlock. "Darling... You're the best!!!" Raya said, hugging her husband's left hand tightly. "I know" Sherlock said. 

The two of them then goes to a street market. It was as lively as they remembered. They go to one market after one market until they found a gift shop called 'Gift From Chantal's' It was a small antique shop. Just by looking from the outside, Raya could sense a mana coming from the shop. She told her husband about it so they decided to take a look inside. From the outside, a display full of dolls could be seen from the window. As Raya and Sherlock enter the shop, 'Ding' 'Ding', the door bell ringing. A young lady welcomed them "Welcome! What can I get for you..?" The lady said. Raya and Sherlock look at each other since they didn't sensed any danger coming from the lady even though she has a mana in her. "We would like to buy a paired hair tie and a paired customed doll, if you could do it for us, young lady" Raya said. "Of course I can! You came to a right place! What materials and colors would you like for the hair ties?" The lady said. "I would like it to be a silk ribbon, like a ribbon tie to the hair and the colors... maroon and dark blue" Said Raya with a smile. "All right!" The lady said. She took a silk fabric and cut it into two long ribbon. A mana came out from both of her hands. The white silk ribbon turned into a beautiful maroon colored ribbon with dark blue flow of lights in it while the other color was dark blue with a maroon flow of lights inside it. The lights would only lit up in the dark. 

"How about the dolls..?" The lady asked while packing the silk ribbon into a small gift box. "Here's the description" Raya gives the lady a piece of paper that has a description in it. The lady was shocked. The paper and the description was made out of mana. "Are you perhaps... a mage like me, madam..?" She asked in a worried tone but she must maintain her heart calm. "It's only me, my husband was a normal person. We wants to buy a gift for our children.." Raya said while pointing at Sherlock. Sherlock only node because he doesn't like to talk to another people unless it was his family. "Oh- So, it was like that..." The lady sighed in relived. She then followed the description and made a paired doll out of a cotton fabric and the other was the color that was made from mana. The doll was packed into a medium size box. "Here's the doll, madam" The lady said while giving both of the gift to Raya. 

Before they leave, Raya stop for a while, "What's your name, young lady..?" She asked. "My name...?" The lady asked in confused. "Yes, your name" Raya said again. "My name is Chantal, madam" The lady said. "Chantal... a saint's name... It's sounds beautiful, honey. I hope we meet again soon!" Said Raya, waving her hands as she leaved. Chantal waved her hand back. A smiled was carved on her face, she doesn't feel lonely anymore. She also hope that she meet Raya again. 

After they get out from the shop, the two of them goes to a narrow path where no one was there. "Whenever you goes, you always called people 'Honey'.." Said Sherlock. "They are children, Darling. You know how much they reminded me of my old life..." Said Raya, kissing her husband's cheek. Sherlock didn't expected her to do that, he was shocked while holding her cheek, his face was red. "Come on, we're going to teleport now" Said Raya. Sherlock was still in dazed. He gets his consciousness after they teleported to a house inside the Blackfort Valley, where the couple lives. "Mother!!! Father!!!" A voice of two called from behind. "Children!!!" Raya run towards the two kids then hugged them both tightly. "My child... I miss you both!!!" She said. "We missed you too!!!" The children said. "Don't you want to hug your father too..?" Sherlock said. He then hugged the three of them together. "HAHAHAH!!! Father!!! You're hugging too tight!!!" One of the kids said. "All right, all right" Sherlock then release both of his hands. 

"Serenity, Reece. How have the two of you been?" Raya asked. The kids were Serenity and Reece Sullivan. They were twins but Serenity the eldest and Reece the youngest. Serenity has same hair color as Sherlock and eyes color as Raya, she was wearing a maroon shirt with medium sleeves, a medium black pants and a maroon boots. While Reece hair color was the same as Raya and eyes color as Sherlock, he was wearing a dark blue shirt with medium sleeves, a medium white pants and a dark blue boots. "We're both fine, Auntie Ameline and Uncle Henley has teach us a lot of things!!!" Serenity said. "Tha- That's right.." Said Reece. "I'm glad that both of you were healthy. I could sensed that Reece has made a progress, huh..? Serenity's body build also different... Has Aunt Ameline teach you swordsmanship, Serenity..? Reece must have been concentrated well with Uncle Henley by his side.. That's good.." Said Raya, sighed in relieved. "You're worrying too much, Honey..." Sherlock said. "Well, you too. You just refused to say it but your affection through action says it" Said Raya, teasingly. 

"The two of you must have been tired from coming all the way here".
