Mystical Mutant {Editing}

Chapter 69

FIONA's POV
It has been two weeks since the smooth running of the mystic world. Louis just resumed as the new CEO of Walter Enterprise. I couldn't wait for him to get home and tell me how it went.

I've been on the couch watching movies with Mint on my chest, stuffing snacks in our faces.

The humanoid artificial intelligence sat quietly on the chair. Raven called telepathically, informing me of the Lavender night tonight. 

"Shit! I lost track of time," I raised my head, holding Mint. 

"Chole, I'll be gone for a while. Please look after Mint for me." She nodded and carried him slowly.

I took my shoes on the rug and moved towards the door. I arrived in ten minutes, my speed has increased compared to the last time. 

The trees were decorated with firefly lanterns and different colors of ribbons and banners with the inscription 'Lavender night festival'

Everyone was busy with one thing or the other, the sound of joy, unity and laughter filled the air. Our dinner table without end had a white tablecloth. 

The plates were filled with all kinds of delicious mouth-watering mystic dishes. Like rainbow wine, made with fruits of the seven colors, water lily soup, firecrackers and cloud cake. 

The tea stand on the right caught my attention, I mumbled, "Ash."

I'm proud of the rapid growth of the mystical race, this is the first festival. I learned from the humans, they have a lot of celebrations that bring families and loved ones together. The former mystical race didn't have that. 

I received a lot of greetings as I walked, this should be the highest number of recorded smiles in the history of the mystic world.

The door screened opened, the four heads discussing on the meeting table turned. "Hi Fiona!" they half-yelled with smiles.

Ash skipped around me, "the tea- I mean the food is set" she giggled.

"Music is ready to roll," Cyan did the rock and roll sign.

Raven glared at him, "You included other genres as I told you to, right?" she said.

"Yes ma'am!" He said.

"The people insisted on more decorations so I allowed them, they're very enthusiastic about tonight," Iceberg said.

"Everything is going as planned, you did a good job," Raven patted my back. 

I held her hand on my shoulder and looked at my friends, they amaze me as the day passed. These people have all the qualifications to be ambassadors of this world.

"No, Raven, we all did great," I said. We smiled at ourselves, Ash pulled us close, "I think this is the part when we hug. Group hug!" she squealed. 

The warm feeling made my heart leap, who knew I was going to find a new family in my world, maybe it was the universe reconciling with me.

Five hours before the party, Ash rushed to her room like a spider with eight legs. "I'll be in my room," she grinned, then slammed the door.

Raven sighed, "she's either watching anime or playing video games." 

I always wondered why Ash woke up like a zombie during our morning meetings. She sleeps throughout. 

Raven took the festival list on the table, "I'll cross-check this again," she said. 

My eyes darted to Cyan making a silly smug face at me and Iceberg spaced out, he blinked then turned to his brother.

"I think you're making her uneasy," he said. 

Cyan frowned, his hair was as spiky as flames, "Shut up! Why don't you scurry under your blanket where you can drool over that blondie's magazines"  

Raven and I darted, Ash poked her head from the door, "Aww, do you have a crush?" She said,

Iceberg turned pink in embarrassment, he played with his fingers then bowed, "not really," he said. 

We waited in suspense for the reveal only for him to stand, "I'll go check if the decorations are done."

A stream of tears ran down Ash's face as she locked her door in disappointment.

 ...

In an hour, Iceberg barged in, he breathed like he won a lottery. Ash ran out of her room, we gathered, waiting for him to spill the beans.

"Guys, today is the best day of my life! Okay, I was strolling, making sure everything was set and guess what?" 

We screamed, "What!"

Iceberg rubbed his ears with a slightly irritated look, "I found the best thing ever created!" 

He turned to the door, and three men walked in. An Elevana and a Glorindian stood by the side of a blonde man, I coughed my esophagus.

"Louis! What're you doing here?" we stared at ourselves with widened eyes, the rest watched in confused expressions.

"OMG! You know Louis Walter!" Iceberg said.

"That blondie is real? Why!" Cyan pulled his hair.

"Who's that?" Raven said.

"Let's calm down, settle down for tea first!" Ash said.

...

We sat down with a cup of tea, Louis narrated how he had an emergency meeting in Diadora so he stopped by to say hi during his coffee break. Mother transported him here in a bubble. 

He said the mystic people attacked him and didn't listen when he told them he knew the queen. They didn't let him go until Iceberg commanded them to bring him here.

"The mystic people are scary," Louis shivered.

"We still don't know how you know Fiona," Raven said.

"He's my husband," I said.
