| His Partner In Eternity | Collector x OC

" That's Nice "

At the sandy sides of the isles, where the waves were flowing, there where Chalent was sitting, observing .. it became different

After Belos was ended for good, Collector returned everyone back to normal, each one reunited with their loved ones

The Titan's ... gone

And his magic with him, although for now, the witches still had their palismans, even the wood of it that will probably get used more than what was allowed in Belos's reign, plus, King surely will have his own powers

Her eyes kept looking at the sea, minutes later, she stood up, walked towards it-

" Heyheyheyhey! "

A loud calling cut her off, making her stop with a leg in the air, to just eventually fall on her back, cat faced while still at the sandy side

She got up, turned around, looking up from afar just to see Luz, " it's boiling! " she said loudly again, in case if she didn't hear her due the distance from up and down

Chalent giggled, raised her thumb to let her be sure, laying on the sand, while seeing Luz climbing down, reached the ground, the sound of her steps defeated by the waves, as she made her way to Chalent, sitting next to her, silent for awhile

" So .. wanted some fresh air? "

" Mhm " she simply nodded with a hum, not being cold, just simple, laying on her back

" Chalent "

" I didn't really see the need to talk with you more than that back then " she explained, looking down at her feet, " it was a win-win case whenever I thought of it, you go back, I become free "

" If so, why did it took months for you to appear? " Luz, in a serious manner, finally asked what was in her head for a considered amount of time

Chalent's gaze slightly closed, scratching her head " weird thing, but down there, I had the ability to hear what happens up here " her gaze now went to the sky, empty from any folding, as she met the sky, blankly silent for a moment, before giving a small smile, as if it was along time to meet the light directly

But even so, " oh shoots " she flinched, then chuckled " sorry, I lost my mind to the clouds "

" Literally " Luz slightly played with it, smiling as she rolled her eyes, joking intended

Slowly, Chalent's smile left, " you see, it just began with the spot I was stuck in ... other times forward, my head would take me to other places, voices ... leading me around ... " her eyes looked at the side, thinking about how to say it, " .. they were either whispers around me or directed speeches at me, moving back and forth, until I felt that energy, familiar and in the same time not ... warm like home, in short, I found you all ..... not that I can really get out of there, if I could, I would "

" Then, why me? " Luz asked, raising an eyebrow, aside from this, she was getting a little worried about what she was telling her

" It's ... not that deep " Chalent tensed " ... They told me that you can help me .. ", she moved up sitting, they became silent again, she looked at the sand, then let her hand go, drawing whatever in her head, or just simply moving the sand, then, she added, " I don't mean harm for no reason, just defense .. although, I can be too much in it, even if it was for necessaries .. too much " the last part was murmured to herself

" I can see this " Luz replied, then looked aside, thinking, after few minutes, spoke again, " when I was gone I .. saw the Titan "

Chalent's hand stopped, momentarily quite, well, from the symbols around her when she came back, it makes sense that way

" He knows that you two didn't deserve it "

" .... What did he say, excatly? "

" That he would've done anything for his kids " she said, looking down " but ended up capturing the wrong person, and harming his own " her voice was calm, slightly, her brows furrowed, feeling oddness in the air, in their silence

" ... Chalent? " she called out, " look if you're not comf- "

" It's fine " she answered, waving her hand up and down, smiling, looking away, " I don't owe him anything, the least he deserved was a goodbye " her hand went to the sand again, grabbing some in her hand, then letting go, " now, with him gone, I don't know if it's too late for him now, hoped he would've .. "

" Maybe he did, forgiveness isn't received right away, what you said might've helped your relationship, but it didn't fix it fully, it's normal to feel conflicted "

Then silence, for awhile, Chalent kept looking down at her toes, then said, " .. we'll be leaving for awhile "

" You and Collector? "

" Yep, making up for lost time, as well as figuring things out .. "

" Well, while you're at it " Luz stood up, putting a hand on waist, with the other one pointing on her right, giving her a smile, " Collector and King are messing around with the snacks, if you'd like to join them "

Looking down, her eyes widened, seeing that Chalent wasn't in there, just with a turn, she saw her crawling like a snake forward

Luz just chuckled at the scene, coming along

Suspicious or not, it's fine by her, they can even hate her for whatever reason ...

But, if she can get along with them, if they can be friends

That would be nice to have as well .. she might get comfortable
