Treasure hunt

Third pov

When Arabella woke up this morning, and was alarmed when she found that her husband, Sabo was nowhere to be seen...his side of the bed was clean & tidy, as if he never slept next to her last night.

"W-what?"

Arabella got up, shoving her silk white Chinese dressing gown on, and ran to the kitchen, only to find it empty. She spotted a piece of paper on the kitchen bench that wasn't there before, it even had her name on it..literally. She snatched the note, opened it up, and read it.

"Dear Miss Moonlight, I know you're alarmed that your husband & children have disappeared, but do not fret..this is simply a part of the birthday treasure hunting game! I want you to look for clues, and eventually, all these clues will lead to finding your family members...Good luck! Your first clue is hidden where warriors go to find their inner peace."

Arabella chuckled to herself as soon as she recognised that the handwriting was Sabo's handwriting.

"Is this my present? How peculiar.." Arabella mumbles to herself. "Anyway....the first clue. Where ever do warriors go to find their inner peace?"

Arabella stood there, raking through her brain what the clue was trying to tell her. She then started to think of her history lessons on cultures. She went through all her knowledge, until she immediately unlocked the answer.

'The cascade river in the forest. Thats where Ty goes when he's feeling at war with things!'

Arabella quickly dressed herself in a white singlet & some black shorts. She put on some footwear fit enough for forest walking. She put sunblock on her, so that her skin wouldn't get burnt by the harsh summer sun. Arabella ventured out to the forest, and followed the trail that Sabo set up so that they can get to the cascade river easier during summer. Eventually, she found herself there. She did some looking around, until she noticed that sitting up on one of the many mini cliffs that the kids would jump off of, was a small table that had a tea pot, a cup, and some incense.

'Whats this set up?'

Arabella walked up to it, and spotted a piece of paper that was folded up inside the mug. Arabella took the piece of paper, and started to read it.

"All warriors need to take time to just sit down, and relax so that they can find their inner peace. Drink some tea, and when you have finished, yell out: 'Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.' Do this, and your next clue shall be revealed."

Arabella folded the note, and set it aside. She grabbed the tea pot, and poured herself a small cup of tea. As she held the full cup to her lips, she could strongly make out the teas scent of apples & green tea. She took a sip, then a gulp. She poured herself another cup, and drank some more tea. When she was finished, she set her cup to the side, and stood up.

"Strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't." Arabella yelled out.

Immediately after she said that, she could hear wall scratchings on a rock wall behind her. She turned, and watched with surprise as words started to form on the rock wall.

"Kinda freaky, huh?"

Arabella spun around, and found her son Tiberius swimming around in the cascade river.

"T-Ty! Can you help me?" Arabella asked. "Sorry Mum, I would, but then it'd ruin the plan. Anyway, look...your next clue is on the wall."

With a pout, Arabella went back to read whatever was on the rock wall.

"You have found inner peace with yourself, which lead you to finding your young warrior son. Now its time for our next clue. Cats are creatures that often like to roam around by themselves, and they also like to have their own territory. Find the cats territory, and the next clue, and your child will await there."

"Blake." Arabella whispered to herself as she ran off towards the big tree that Blake liked to climb around & train in. The tree wasn't too far from where the house was, so it was easy for Blake to get there on her own. Eventually, Arabella arrived at Blake's tree.

"I've made it...but where's the clue & Blake?" Arabella mutters to herself.

"Muuuuuuuuum! Up here!" Arabella looked up, and found Blake sitting at a very high point of the tree. "Blake! I've found you! Where's the next clue?" Blake grinned, "You have to climb up & get it off of me!" Blake said cheekily as she pokes her tongue out at Arabella. 

Arabella sighed, knowing that Blake was stubborn, and won't let up. Arabella started to climb up the tree, having little difficulty at first, but eventually getting used to climbing the tall pine tree. As Arabella climbed, Blake kept a close eye on her Mother, just in case if she fell. Eventually, Arabella stood in front of Blake, easily balancing on the wobbly branch.

"My clue, please?" Arabella said cockily. Blake chuckled, handing the piece of paper to her Mother, "There, no curl up into a ball, I'll carry you down for you, Mama." 

Arabella curled up into a ball, and felt Blake pick her up with her strong Puma arms, and Blake & herself falling...falling..until eventually Blake put her Mother down on the ground. Arabella stood up, a grin on her face. 

"A hint?" Arabella asked with puppy dog eyes. Blake laughed, "Afraid I can't." Arabella chuckled, "I thought as much."

Arabella uncrumpled the piece of paper, and read the writing.

"It appears that you have gained the cats approval of roaming through her territory, I congratulate you. And now for the final clue. Go to the place where you & your lover first became one to birth Tiberius. Awaiting there will be Sabo."

Arabella blushed, and tried not to look at Blake, as she knew that Blake was grinning at her by now. Quickly, Arabella ran off towards the beach thats covered by cherry blossoms. The whole time, she had flashbacks of the time she & Sabo tried for a baby out on the beach. She could remember it clearly, it was back in December, during Christmas.....

When Arabella got there, she found Sabo waiting there. He was wearing a pair of blue pants, and a nice looking shirt. He has no shoes on his feet. He smiled upon Arabella's arrival, and stood up, holding a rose & a small jewellery gift box.

"Sorry that we made you run around...I thought that it'd be fun." Sabo said. Arabella chuckled, "It was the best fun that I've had in a while." Sabo the handed her the box, "Happy birthday, my love."

Inside the box, was a pair of pearl earrings. When she put them on, Sabo gazed at her lovingly, before kissing her fully on the lips.

"We all love you, Arabella."
