"The sun love the moon that everyday he died just to allowed the moon to shine the night, unknown that the moon missed him dearly."

  [Name] smiled at the written words in the data-pad she held. Orion has fallen sleep, his head rested on her lap as both of them were seated in Aica Temple garden. The sound of distants chatters and sounds of life was blocked by the soft sound of chimes and waters. Soft melodies of wild lifes in the garden became their soft  lullaby.

The young oracle gently brushed her fingers on his head as he lulled into deeper slumber. "Orion, it's been a while, huh?" She whispered softly. Orion opened his optics, the azure of his meet the [Colour] of her. A blue hand rested on her cheek, thumb slowly stroke it.

"It is. The last time we've meet was when we are younglings. After that, only letters and messages. We never see each other, only from a news." He replied in saddened tone.

Orion sat up from his sleep, scooting closer to [Name]. His hands grasped both of [Name] hands, squeezing it warmly. "If only we can be together, without the worry of other and distance a-and without the worry of other love been taken by force. If only," He whispered in desperate. [Name] smiled at him before she giggled in soft tone.

"Orion, do you remember our promise when we are youngling?" Her hand covered her mouth while the other grasped Orion hands. "You, we, promise to always be together no matter what happen and to always watch over each other." She continued. "I remember that but, it would be more real if we are together without those worries that burden our minds. With our love that only us alone can have it." He replied.

"You propose another way, then?" [Name] asked.

"Yes, there is." He answered. He stared his azure optics to her, drinking and memorizing every inch of herself. She smiled brightly at him, stroking her thumb back forth across his palm. "And what is it? If i may know it." She asked. [Name] let her hand off from Orion and rested them on her lap.

  [Name] continued to stare at the views of the vast garden. She blew out soft breaths, her eyes wonders forward. Orion slowly reaching his hand unto her face, perching his larger palm on her soft cheek. The young oracle turn her head back to her long time beloved, weakened at the familiar gesture over and over. She smiled at him, this time it was wider and brighter.

A pure and loving smile.

Like Orion always loved and cherished in his mind. Maybe later. He thought to himself. "It's nothing. I haven't come up with a plan for us at the moment but, rest assure. The moment we reunited again, i'll tell you what is." He smiled brightly at her, matching the pure smile of his lover.

"Then allowed me to wait you to ask my honor in holy union, orion. That's all i can promise you."

"[Name]."

  It was cold and loud. The only thing she could described about Kaon, the city of mines and gladiators. The city itself was a dangerous and vile one, illegal matter and slavery was one of the crimes that roams free in here.

Especially, the government. In her younger years of learning, her carrier always taught her not to judge the outside but the inside. Sadly, Kaon condition haven't changed her judgement.

Maybe its more than meet the eye. She thought at herself as walked the streets of Kaon with Megatronus, who she contacted the moment she arrived and find out that he is one of the miner in Kaon. Astra who at first refused to acknowledge Megatronus, reluctantly relented to [Name] persistent. She sighed heavily as she watched Astra and Megatronus bickered at each other over a direction.

"For the last time, we go to the left not right. That lead to the pits area and gladiators residential zone. We headed to the townsquare not the pits." Megatronus snapped at Astra, who holding the maps.

"For the last time, we using shortcuts that i learnt while training in here. Also, I'm the one who hold the maps and calls the shots not you." She argued back, her golden eyes never leave the maps.

  He sighed and pinched the brigde of his nose, "for i know, you just 'training' in here not 'living' in here like i do and for the record, it's [Name] who calls the shots not you, The Bodyguard." He argued back at her back at as he took the maps away from her grasp. Astra gasped as she huffed in anger.

"Bodyguard? I am a guardian. And for the record, you just a companion that happen to be live in this area."

"Maybe you should be a bodyguard. With your bossy and annoying behaviour. I wonder, how in the world that [Name] can hold up with you?" Megatronus mocked.

They bickering attracted alot of attention and some of the are unwanted ones. She sweatdropped as she looked at Umbra, who barked once at her. She snickered at her courier, petting his  head. She watched Pryna, who sitting in front of an alleyway. A dark and cold one. Pryna barked at [Name] once before tilted at the alleyway.

  "What is it, Pryna? Is there something wrong?" She asked at the white coloured courier. Pryna walked at toward the alley, leading [Name] to it. The alley was dark with no lights shined and the grounds was wet with trash littered around. Pryna stopped at one of the cardboards that stacked nearby a dumpster.

Pryna yipped in front of a cardboard, before sitting down and tilted her head. The oracle watched for a couple of second as she watched from afar. Suddenly, a tiny hand appeared from the darkness of the cardboard's shadow as its outstretched toward the white coloured companion.

"Hey, nice puppy. You lost puppy?"

[Name] kept watching from the distance as the hand disappeared for a moment before reappeared as a youngling. A youngling, who covered in mud and dirt that caked its frame as its golden coloured frame fades. The youngling or mechling squatted down in front of Pyrna as he petted her head. "Are you hungry? I have some leftover that me and my twin had. I bet you are hungry." He whispered in sore tone.

  The wind slowly pass by, making the mechling covered his eyes. After the wind slowed down, as if he notice someone is watching him, he slowly turned his head to the oracle. She smiled gently at the youngling while he was shivering in fear.

"Please, miss...don't hurt me. I-i'm sorry f-for petting your pet."

She shakes her head as walked toward him. "It's alright. Pryna is a good wolf, she often leave without my notice and sometimes she bring me or lead me to a pleasant gift. Oh! I almost forgot. My designation is [Name]. Pleasure to meet you and you are?" She introduced herself as she oustreatched her hand as sign of handshake.

"My designation is sunstreaker. My twin brother is sideswipe. He is sick with black goo all over his body." He nervously replied, giving [Name] a weak shaking. She smiled at him, a bright yet gentle one as she rubbed his head. "Well, how about we take him to the Oracle temple? Maybe she can help your brother illness." She said gently as she takes his smaller hand as he lead her where his brother is.

Sometimes, we meet others wasn't by accident. But by fate. It's either give us a blessing or a lesson.

And this time, it give us blessing.
