"Come on!! Be quick, you dumb head!!" a lady yelled at a person who was doing their job lazily; "Why am I supposed to do this, Lady Marissa?! There are so many other guardians!" Whined the other as they didn't wanted to work.

"Shut up and do your work before I call the Head. And you know what will happen when he comes and sees the work undone!" Warned Lady Marissa at the lazy working Guardian.

"Lord Sage, the vines here are not perfectly done!" said Lady Ardere as Lord Sage looked at Lady Ardere with a pout and puppy eyes.

"Sage stop making that face before I come there and drown you with my essence!! Lady Marissa screamed at Lord Sage as he mumbled "So cruel!" and continued doing his work with a cute pout.

Lady Ardere chuckled at Lord Sage's antics.

*********

                 Lady Marissa's POV:

What else is remaining?? Fountains are done, Vines are decorated, Fire play is set, Flowers are blooming, Sunlight is perfect, the air is blowing in a perfect way! Blunders would work anytime when Aethra would use her essence, and most importantly!! Cakes are ready.

And- oh you all must be wondering what's happening so let me say! Today is the birthday of our youngest! Yes! It is the birthday of Selene! She has worked really hard last night so she's taking rest right now.

Everyone is busy preparing! And I'm supervising them as per the decision of the head! Lady Bloom's work is to bloom flowers to make the event floral as Selene likes flowers. Lord Sage is decorating pillars and monuments with his vines. Lady Ardere is going to make a fire play with her essence. Taking care of the sunlight is under the hands of Lord Aelius. Lord Aethra is looking out that no storm makes any hindrance and she would use her essence to make  petals of the flowers to fall on Lady Selene when she enters. And last but not least, I'll be doing a water play.

                 Third Person's POV:

Two hours had already passed and now everything was finally ready. Lady Selene would come anytime now, and every guardian was super excited for it.

The head also hadn't come yet as he wanted to join later with his daughter.

Everything is going perfect except for Lord Sage as he has more work to do but he's busy sulking.

"Lord Sage why isn't your work done yet??" Flinched the Guardian who was doing nothing but sitting with a pout on his face. "I don't want toooooo!!" He whined as the other glared at him with their dark purple eyes that had nothing in them yet darkness.

"I don't want any of your complaints! I just want it to be done, Is. That. Clear?!" Said the other in a stern voice. Lord Sage felt goosebumps all over his body as soon as he heard the stern voice of Lady Marissa.

Lady Marissa approached him and gave him a sweet smile but that didn't look sweet at all knowing that Lady Marissa is crazy, he silently started his work without uttering a whisper.

********

Lady Selene had woken already and she was busy decorating herself up.

She wore an elegant blue gown with textures of flowers in it. The blue gown looked like it was embedded with blue roses. Her beautiful dress was showcasing her milky back. She wore a crescent moon necklace on her neck that can make one understand that she is the guardian of the moon.

Half of her hairs were tied in a bun and half were falling on to her back. Her hair had moon hairpins attached to her. Her oceanic blue eyes, with long lashes and her perfectly shaped eyebrows was just cherry on top. Her luscious scarlet lips enhanced her look. She was looking divine! Like a goddess.

Before leaving, the moon guardian took a last glance of herself in the mirror as she smiled thinking that she looked perfect and finally left her room.

                  Lord Aelius' POV:

Finally now the wait is over and I'll get to see Lady Selene. Firstly I want to know how she's looking, and secondly I have made a gift for her! Yes I know it sounds a bit weird but I couldn't control myself.

These days, I've fallen for her more even though I shouldn't but I just can't. I can't imagine my future without her. I just want her. I'm lost in a sea of her. And no matter how much help I get, I wouldn't like to come out of it. I'd rather be drowned in an ocean of her than swim in someone else's light. She's my first thought when I wake up, and the last when I sleep.

A thought always interrupts my mind that what if she doesn't feel the same? What if she doesn't accept me? What if we'll never be together? What if we're not meant to be?All this 'What ifs?' were rumbling my thoughts as I didn't know what to think.

I mentally slapped myself at thinking that what is wrong with me? Just a while ago I was happy that I'll finally get to see Lady Selene after about 6 hours, and now I was thinking stuff that could really upset my mood.

A scream interrupted my thoughts as I came to reality and saw Lady Marissa screaming at Lord Sage for not doing the work right. Lord Sage apologized for the umpteenth time as Lady Marissa never stopped yelling at the sloth like slow Lord Sage.

I chuckled internally watching them. My eyes scanned the area as I looked at those happy faces, those genuine smiles. I smiled bitterly thinking that what if they get to know that I broke the rule? I wouldn't be able to forgive myself but I can't even undo my crime. I've fell for her and no matter what I do I can't come out of it. I can't unlove her.

I'm so in love with her that I actually forget that I can hurt the others, I can't hurt my own family. I question myself sometimes: am I doing the right thing? Am I doing the right thing by loving Lady Selene? Will it cause a storm in my life rather than giving me peace? All these thoughts engulf me again as a tear slips my eye but I wipe it before anyone notices.

I need to control my thoughts, I can't let them have their way with me. I need to be conscious.

                       ★★★★★★★

Also I've made two new characters, Lady Bloom was introduced to you all on the last part only but I forgot to give you all a perfect introduction. So here's it : Lady Bloom is the Guardian of Flowers, she's a very calm lady and she's also one of the best healers, you know as we say? Plants are the best healers. And the second one is Lady Ardere, she is the guardian of Fire. I mean she controls the nasty fire and let me remind you she's not so calm. She's someone you wouldn't want to mess with. She's scaryyyy just like her essence. That's all about the guardians!!

Sorry for not posting last weekend I was not able to complete it and i couldn't just publish an incomplete chapter so...yeah..😅✋🏻

And in this book I'll probably add more guardians but don't worry I'll introduce them to you beforehand so y'all won't get confused!

Anyways do you like this chapter?
