Monochrome: Waking Dawn

Chapter 9: The Last Blissful Moments

Raven went out of her castle with Gan and planned to have a picnic for the very last time before Gan starts his mission as an Angeles de Divinia. Both of them went to the hill with the biggest Willow tree there is. It was about 5.5 meters tall which was different from all those other willows that are only 3-4 feet tall. They decided to stay there for the picnic because it could shelter a lot of people.

                   “Gan, will the two humans be our last stand?.” Asked Raven.

                   “Well, that may be so. They’re in the prophecy.”

                   “What if… we lose? What do we do next? I’m too afraid. I don’t want to fail. I don’t want to die in battle. I don--”

                   Gan held her hand and hugged her as tight as he could. Raven then grabbed her hand and placed it on Gan’s back holding him as well.

“I will fight for you. I won’t let you die. This is a battle us, including you sister Robin will face. If I die, at least I’ll die with honor.”

Before Raven could say anything, the other guardians appeared.

                   “What are you two lovers doing?” asked Gianne.

                   “You didn’t tell me you have a boyfriend sis.” Said Robin

                   “Oh my Gosh! We shouldn’t interrupt them you know.” Said Sakura.

                   “What is the meaning of this?” chuckled Glacey.

“Wow…” said Blaze.

“Ohh…” said Agneous.

Crystallia just stood and smiled.

Hyza laughed silently and joined the group.

“OhhmmgyyGosh! Is this real?” Teased Elane.

       Raven and Gan broke their moment and looked at the crew. The, Raven replied to them all:

        “What the hell? We’re not in a relationship! We’re just friends! Nothing’s wrong with that.” Raven blushed.

Knowing that he had to reply, Gan said:

       “Uhh… we had a deep conversation so I had to comfort her. Nothing more.”

        “Really? Hahaha !! well, alrighty then Gan.” Said Robin in a sarcastic tone.

        “Hey guys! We should really tell our stories of our lives to know each other for the upcoming journey looking for the Divine. We should know each other well before we get going. So, can we start? Hey Raven, can we join you?” asked Glacey.

        “Of course you can. Wait, we should prioritize Hyza and Elane first! Let them start first!”

        With that, the guardians including the two sibling-huans sat on the grass and started talking. Hyza and Elane introduced first.

“So, I’m Hyza Quasee. I am half Japanese and half British. The same goes with my sister.  I was born in Okinawa, Japan but studied my secondary years in California.My father is from England and my mother is from Japan which made me a dual citizen. When I was eight, sadly, my father filed a case of divorce due to personal problems with our mother and never showed up ever again. We never knew how he is right now. Being a widow, my mother let both of us siblings study in America so she could give us a bright future and show to our father that it will always be fine even when he’s gone. Well, it’s an advantage for mom since she doesn’t have to take care of us both. Now, I am in my senior years in High school and Elane is still in 10th grade. Since my youngest sister, Yviene was born, we never got see her. My mother won’t let me and Elane travel back home because of the great amount of money we would use for our flight back. She decided to use the money to for Yviene’s studies and in exchange for us to stay here in America and continue to study.”
