Ajax lives a mundane life.
Then, one day, he meets North.
And, it seems they are starting to fall in love.
The problem is that only Ajax can see North.
A supernatural boy's love story.
"You know well how things are," Oisin said. "You had fought countless battles and the Great War."
"Yes." Luca replied. "However, I did not have you then to worry about."
"Someone said to me: 'Zeregin guztien gainetik zetorren lehenbizi.'" (Above all duty comes first before one's self.)
Luca smiled and tears fell from his eyes at the same time.
"I taught you well." Luca said as tears continued to fall from his eyes. "Too well, I supposed."
"I have a great irakasle (teacher), I suppose." Oisin replied as tears fell from his eyes as well.
The two embraced and cried knowing the sacrifices they had to make for the sake of Adamah.
"Know this," Oisin said. "When everything is done, I will come back for you."
Oisin kissed Luca quick but passionately. Then, he left the gazebo.
As he rode the prince of the Aeolian clan's trusted stallion, the High General of the Forest clan was more determined to complete his mission. He felt like that this was something that he needed to do and he would do it without hesitation.
He never questioned the visions that he saw in his dreams and believed that the Heaven was guiding him in making his decisions.
A few hours later, Flaxen dropped him off at the entranceway of the Valley of the Wandering Souls.
After the winged horse left, he, immediately, entered the domain of the Forest clan. He was careful not to be seen by anyone until he reached the highest waterfall in all of the valley.
He, then, dove right in into the clear water of the fall until he reached the stony edge where the water descended. He, then, climbed the rocks and enter the cave behind the white water.
Magically, as he stepped away from the water and walked farther inside the cave, his clothes instantly dried up.
"I knew that I would find you here." Said the man seated by the bonfire inside the cave.
