Like an angel's breath descending through my soul's gate, passing through the high walls that I've set, came across like a bypassing nostalgic warmth of the lost and forgotten time.

With every caress that it brought, gently swayed my dull hair, as if combing through it would make my silhouette feel better, and yet the line that followed me was the one that became ashes to the colliding cold wind.

Every echo of footsteps, expensive and ordinary, joys from the reigning masses, and the warmth of the one who continuously wrapped mine to theirs, began to bear fruit, the labor of hours from those cloaked nights, was indeed all my breath has asked for.

When seconds became eternity, then the minutes that passed by became a defining moment of a loop in time, a frozen stance of my mind's cycling memories erupted, like boiling water.

"We've been doing this for a few nights, touring around the market and within the small village, and it seemed that every night, the people got curious because of the old lady's words," Lexus's deep voice descended on my ears and as soft as it sounded, it was full of mixed tones.

A thought came flowing through my mind, as if a lamp suddenly appeared right in front of my soul doing these dances created by the gust of a rustling wind, but the silhouette remained.

When my soul landed on Lexus' mirror, a sense of my body being carried by an unknown force made every hair from my body rise, as nature's soft whispers carried my hair, and my only view was him and everything around, every sound, every breath, every move came to define the vagueness of tomorrow's hold.

My chest felt heavy and before I knew what was happening, my hands that held each other in the middle of my chest got enveloped by his soft leathery warmth, that defined the scars of his past.

Then, the steady sight earlier from my previous stance made way to twirl all around just a second before feeling Lexus' intertwining and yet, burning grip.

My hand that was free, adjusted my coat, and the side of my eyes, which were covered by Lexus' other hand, narrowed only to see how he managed to readjust my mask.

The strands of my hair that the wind freely held got caged from the cloaked fabric of my body, and the sounds of those unfamiliar euphorias rang within, echoes of joyful whispers, erased the agony of the past, and the actions of hands holding the air above, made the stance of instilling light from their hearts.

The enchantments of their words nearly made my feet move on their own until I could feel how Lexus's leather hand seethed through my skin twirling the direction of what I believed and making me face back the darkness of that abyss, a place where only the shadow of the past lives, and yet a very familiar area to see, considering it was the place, where I first gave my bottles of medicines.

His head grabbed the gap between us, breathes that collided with mine, and warmth enveloped my body with his long slender finger coming in between my lips, our souls became one before we heard the bypassing sounds of people's curiosities

"Did you see, Miss Agnes?"

"I thought she went this way?"

"No way! We couldn't lose someone as good as a fairy godmother like her"

"She's a mysterious lady and I don't trust people who are mysterious but she's the first one I put my trust in"

"I could never trust anyone more than her, because she just cured my ailing daughter when the public physician told me that there's no cure for my daughter, I lost hope and faith, until she brought that up!"
