Ch 8 Divine Descendants

Virgo 's pov

"Illusions are subtle reality shield to protect a kind heart from a nightmare"
...

The night is cold and dark. Even the subtly glowing magical flora all around the hut can't diminish this worried darkness. My innerself has a million of questions. But none to answer. Being assured to be answered soon all of us tried our best to drift into a slumber not expected by any of us.
Who was that man called Ophecheus? Why was he persistently calling Leo and particularly the guardians his children? Who are Zodiacs? Why was Ms Amanda no ,Patricia in disguise? How come Gramps knew about all of this..?
And the first and foremost question. Who are we?
Seems like each of the fairies of this world ,even the little unknown creatures ,dark or bright, fauna or flora, glory or death, knows us all too well.

I won't either deny the fact that when I first came here, being an ancient mage of purification,I got a amazingly sweet sensation. A sensation that told me to be aware but not be afraid.
And when I saw those things ,my eyes shed tears of unwanted pain knowing my heart aches for those unwanted yet missing memories. I wanted to know what's behind those memories.
I shifted through the cotton soft bed and looked at the others. All of them were soundly asleep.
Aquarius was holding the pillow to her chest murmuring into the sleep while smiling. Pisces was already into her sleep talking saying something about this will be over soon. I sighed. All of us has to go through a lot today. I wish I could say it will be over soon. But this unsettling feeling of being on a continuous hunt tell me otherwise.
"Can't sleep~?" The blue eyed mage supporting herself by her elbow said. I could see her eyes being soring for sleep.
"You neither ?" I subtly checked the time. It was past midnight .
Stiffling a yawn that released from her mouth , Cancer said,"What do you think, Virgo?"
I got up from my bed to her side as she sat up. "About what?"
"About all of this" I could see the tired worriness on her face. She always worries about us barely thinking about herself. I hugged her . "Cancer , we are here....And we will be fine." Caressing my arm softly she said goodnight and went to sleep.

Her serene face let me a hope of pleasure. No matter what we shall always stand by each other's side.
But I can't sleep anymore. My eyes aren't gonna adjust to what my heart says . I should better take a troll outside. Looking back from the subtly embellished door of the sweet shelter , I looked at the faces drifted into peaceful slumber. I stepped out of the comfort stance of the hut. And was gifted with the very sight of the forest that was once filled with sun's vigorous rays. Now it was pacified with the subtle gentle touches of moon's cold yet loving light. The moon itself was smiling behind the approaching clouds peeking a look here and there at the faint and silent adorned forest.

I roamed around along with the silence that followed me everywhere into the forest filled with scarlet butterflies sleeping on the mosses there. The fireflies dimly lighted the snoring sweet bees and their dreams. I couldn't help the giggle that let my lips echoing through the magnificent trees guarding the monotonous forest. Being the mystic trees they are,they shifted in their slumber ,huffing a little,shuffling the green leaves a more. I smiled as the leaves fell everywhere around me.

I moved around a little not wanting to sleep anymore. Moving to the side of the hill where we once sat for the first time, I halted looking at the back of a very familiar figure. Dressed in the white shirt and black tunics there sat my Leo ,deep in thoughts of something I don't know.

"I thought you would come...You sure took your sweet time..." He and his antics , don't they know patience.

"Sorry for making you wait my majesty .." Sure thing I was gonna tease him." But do tell me, how could I know ,you would be waiting for me..." I walked up to the hill where he was sitting gazing at the now cloudless sky and the stars emerging from the depths of the blackened sky.
