Whisper to clouds

Chapter 34 - New Era.

Months passed since the war was over, and Charlotte was doing much better. She was happy and responsive, 25682 and 68765 became a couple after the war. Mrs. Mallin was fired from her position and was no longer a stepmother to Lavinia. Winslow Corporation and Primal Industries put money towards a memorial for those who died in the brutal war. A shrine was built in their memory, flowers and pictures of their loved ones were placed in the shrine.

Everyone was dressing up for an event, and Charlotte and her family were invited to a ceremony. Today, Lavinia was going to become the CEO and manager of Primal Industries. Since her father died, she's now taking his position and the responsibility of managing a large company.

Charlotte and her family were seated in the front, and Alexis's family was seated in the second row of seats. Camila's family was seated in the third row of seats and guests were seated in many other rows.

Lavinia stepped up to the podium and cleared her throat. She wore a gray suit, a white collar shirt, and an almost black tie, she had also put up her hair in a ponytail. "I am saddened to say that Alexis Mallin is dead. He was the manager of this company, Primal Industries. And he started this company from scratch. Now, Lavinia Mallin shall take his place as manager of this company and will make everything right. From this day forward."

"Primal Industries will pay 26 million dollars in damages, those 26 million dollars will go to Winslow Corporation. I had been at my lowest during the war, I was driven to darkness. But there's one person here who I would like to mention."

Charlotte smiled, she paid attention to the speech and waited for Laviia to start speaking again. "This particular person is Charlotte Winslow, she saw through my darkness and helped me to see so much clearer. She was there for me when I was at my lowest point, I want to thank her. She will always be my best friend and I'm sure that you all know who she is. The war hero, a war hero who helped everyone out."

I want to give my deepest condolences to the ones who lost their loved ones during battle. The battle was brutal, but we may never forget those who fought so bravely to win. Words cannot express how I feel, as I lost my father on the battlefield. And for those who have survived, even if you don't consider yourselves war heroes. Primal Industries and Winslow Corporation acknowledges your hard work and determination, you shall be rewarded with medals of honor."

"Those who lost their loved ones will receive 30 million dollars for their funeral expenses and services. May they rest in peace and for now we will give them a moment of silence to give them our respect." Everyone stayed quiet and some members who lost their loved ones cried during the ceremony.

After the moment of silence, Lavinia began to speak again. "Primal Industries and Winslow Corporation is proud to present the archeological department, founded by one other than Charlotte Winslow. The archeological department is our newest department, the department will be run by Charlotte Winslow, her efforts in wanting to add a new department have finally come true. It will dig up time capsules and paintings from the wither rose civilization, as they permitted us."

"Thank you for coming to my ceremony, I greatly appreciate it." Lavinia stepped off the podium and smiled at the crowd. After the ceremony, Charlotte went to talk to Lavinia. "Hi Lavionia," Charlotte said in a shy voice. "I'm surprised you're still here," Lavinia says. Charlotte chuckled, "I can stick around for longer if you want. Either way, I'm excited for the opening of the archeological department."

Lavinia took Charlotte's hand and put it in the grass. "You can stay with me as long as you want, but only if your parents are okay with it. Besides, I'm now the manager of Primary Industries. I won't have as much time to spend with you as I'd like." Charlotte scooted herself forward so she and Lavinia could be at the same level as each other.

"It's fine, besides, I'll kinda be busy as well. I'll try to come and visit you once in a while." Charlotte says, "I'll do the same, and if you need anything you know you can just call me whenever." Lavinia says she looked at the city. The New York skyline was orange, a beautiful color.

A gust of wind hit their faces, their hair waved like a flag in the air. "I see that you still have those gloves," Lavinia said. "I do, they were repaired by my aunt Julia," Charlotte said. Charlotte felt the cold wind give her tremors. As she was wearing a blue T-shirt and black leggings. "You have a rhombus on your forehead. I don't think you had it before.'' Lavinia says she turns her head and looks at the dark green rhombus.

"It's the One Thousand Seal, or should I say, the Strength of a Thousand Sealing Technique," Charlotte said. "Remember to see it as a circle, a black circle," Laviia recalled. "It evolved as II recovered from the intense trauma that I endured. I still have the acid burns, but they no longer sting or burn anymore."

Lavinia got up and stretched for a bit. Charlotte stood up as well, Charlotte took Lavinia's hand and began to walk back to the garden full of roses.
