The past may not always contain beautiful memories.

Yet do not let that deter you

From planning a magical future.

Magnus

Magnus walked barefoot through the fine sand, the sun's rays warming his skin. The sound of the waves and the scent of salty sea air filled his senses. Seagulls cried in the distance, their calls mixing with the laughter and voices of children playing at the beach.

Taking a deep breath, Magnus smiled. He took a few more steps through the sand, feeling the fine grains tickle between his toes.

With each step toward the water, the sea's roar grew louder. The waves lapped at his feet, sending a refreshing tingle through him. He tasted the salty air on his lips, and a gentle, cool breeze blew against his face.

Magnus stood still for a few minutes, content and enjoying the peaceful moment, before settling on the soft sand. He spread out a towel and sank onto it.

The joyful laughter of the people around him mixed with the soothing sound of the sea. Magnus stared out to the infinite expanse of the ocean before him. The waves sparkled in the sunlight as if they were telling him a secret.

Again, he took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh air, feeling the tranquillity of the beach permeate his entire body. The stressful everyday life seemed far away, and Magnus felt at one with nature. A feeling of freedom and relaxation filled him, and he thought about how wonderful it was to have discovered this little piece of paradise by the sea.

Stretching out on his towel, Magnus rolled onto his side. A few meters away, he saw Alec building a sandcastle with Cahya and Jarin. The sight brought a smile to his face and filled him with warm happiness. Magnus closed his eyes and savoured the moment, listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves and feeling a light breeze play with his hair. He couldn't be happier.

Slowly and almost wistfully, Magnus awakened from this enchanting dream. The familiar warmth of Alec's body lying next to him accompanied him into reality. He cautiously opened his eyes and looked at Alec, who was regarding him with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Good morning," the alpha whispered. His voice was warm and gentle, much like the sunlight that had found its way into Magnus' dream. Magnus returned the smile.

"Good morning, Darling," he replied, rolling onto his back and stretching his arms over his head. A soft purr vibrated in his throat.

"I had such a beautiful dream."

Alec leaned over to him and kissed his shoulder.

"What did you dream about?", he asked.

Magnus closed his eyes, trying to capture the memory of his slowly fading dream.
