The Guardian Of Juniper

Chapter 5: Desperation(Pt.1)

Okay, there is going to be a large jump in the story because I'm pretty sure there is really nothing to write about their marriage life HAHA. So I wrote a sad part and I am like, "Hm, this is good." So guys please don't be confused by the timeline, this is 40 years after they(Lule & Zanxus) are married, and please don't get confused by the timeline, if you are confused, you can always comment down and I will answer your questions.

40 years later...

Lule P.O.V

I was alone, alone in a dark cave. Without Zanxus, without anyone, I listen to the rain that was coming in contact with the grass, making soft dripping noises, the noises combined with the sound of my sniffing as I cried for the sixth time.

You guys, must be confused right, the both of us were married, had a house, was living a fairly normal life until Zanxus left one day, he never came back. I waited for years, waited for his return, time passed by quickly without any mercy and it's already been 20 years since he last disappeared.

Maybe he left me with another person, maybe I was not good enough for him, am I really not good enough. I thought that this life of mine would be different, I would be able to live a free, happy life.

Man...Life sucks.

I didn't need to eat, I didn't need to do whatever human does, like eating, drinking. I was a guardian can survive that.

But why do I feel so tired,

I still remembered the last day we saw each other, he went out with a happy grin, we both bid each other goodbye and his existence suddenly perished.

I had went around asking for any information on a blue hair guy, nothing came up. Probably because I left out the fact that he may be one of the demon kings.

Everything hurts, everything feels so numb, thinking back on the memories hurts, and most of all, it's so pathetic of me to cling on to those memories. I shut out Irene when I find her care annoying.

I... I wasn't pathetic, I can stand up again...

Right?

I want him, I need him.

Even breathing hurts.

Can't I just die already, it's too much to bear?

"-ind" I heard a small whisper in the back of my mind as I looked around my surroundings for any sort of voices.

"WIND!" The voice was clear now, it was Irene.

"I-Irene, how did you break the them-my barrier?" I was shocked, the skill that I had used was a defence spell that not even the god can break.

"Please, even the most difficult spell has a weakness, you have been glooming all throughout the 20 years! How dare you shut me out." Irene materialised herself in front of me as I was shocked yet again.

"H-How..." I trailed off as I reached out, and touched her hair, she was real, right in front of my eyes.

"I'm here to help you, and oh by the way its illegal for a goddess to help a person in her own world, we were supposed to send people, but you are special, you're my first friend and I had gotten permission from the king of gods, I also came with the information of your husband." I immediately lunged myself at her as I shake her shoulders.

"W-WHERE IS HE?" I shouted as I cried again.

"Calm down first alright, I know you are desperate and I am suffering, seeing you like this, you need to compose yourself first alright?" She hold my shoulders firmly as she slowly rubbed it relaxingly.

"I-I just missed him, Irene, it hurts to not be able to see him, I thought of him as a fling at first but I gradually had feelings for him and I was happy, I am sad-no broken that I can't see him.." I brawled as I fell on my knees.

"I know, I know." Irene soothe me as I slowly calmed down.

"Zanxus, he-he married another person."

So yeah, that's it, there is also a part 2, so please stay tuned to it.
