291. Part XIX: To gather moon dust

The door was ajar, and Gaelic was secretly listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice. Carefully, he backed away from the door and headed out.

"I have to find Grime Hullo before they do." Gaelic said himself. "That ornamental band is mine and mine alone!"

In the other affluent part of the city, Grime Hullo could not stop pacing in the balcony. He knew that after the moon dust gathering ritual, he needed to be on his way to continue forth with his own mission. And, with that knowledge, he did not know how to begin to make his lover understand what he must do. How could he tell the person that he loved that he had to leave in quest that he alone could burden? Nay, he thought, there was no other way to ease his news for either way he knew that pain would be the same. He thought there was nothing else for him to do but to do the kinder thing—to say it as it was.

He looked inside the penthouse through the opened French door and could see how Rahel busied himself preparing all things needed for the ritual. Rahel stopped on his tracked and looked at him. He smiled at his lover and his lover smiled back at him. Rahel's smile was as bright as the sun that brought him comfort and warmth.

Rahel walked towards him and then he walked to meet him. Rahel then pressed his lips against his and it seemed the sweetest thing that he had ever tasted in his entirely. No matter how many times they had kissed it seemed that Rahel's lips became more sweet than ever. He reciprocated Rahel's kisses and held him so dearly and lovely and could feel that their hearts to seemed to beat as one.
