Harith and The Magical Vessel

Closer to Destiny

… - Have you forgotten me, already?

Harley – (shock) Gr… ock. (wakes up) Oh, my Lord… (moves to a sitting position) This bed… oh! Right, I helped Harith’s family member… (touches forehead) My head… it hurts… and I saw him… (chuckles) but no, he is not real. (gets off the bed) I better find Harith…
 

Harith’s pov
 

Fanny is better, and I’m so happy, I love when she plays with my hair, she seems so happy and alive. (hugs Fanny) She knows she is my favorite… maybe because (smiles at her) she reminds me so much of my mother, she used to have that caramel blonde hair, a beautiful smile that would take me away from any worries I had at the time, although my mom’s eyes were blue and her eyes are green… (stays quiet and looks at her eyes) those eyes… My first baby crush was with this woman. Alucard brought me here and when I saw everyone, I was content and I knew I was welcome, but when I saw Fanny, my heart stopped. The love I feel for her is the love that I would definitely have for my own passed mother, I thank the Lord for bringing her into this world and into my life and, I thank Harley for keeping her safe (hugs her tighter). I wish Harley were awake so I can present her to him properly (hears footsteps and turns around) Harley…
 
Harith – Feeling better?
 
Harley – Umm… (looking down) yeah… I think I used a lot of my magic on her. Is she…?
 
Harith – (waving his tail) She is more than okay! You are a lifesaver, my friend.
 
Fanny – (gets close to Harley and hugs him) Thank you so much.
 
Harley – (shock at the embrace, stays put then slowly hugs her tight) [thinking: This smell… she smells…. So motherly…] (with tears in eyes looks to her)
 
Fanny – I’m so sorry about your parents. (caresses his face)
 
Harley – (tears falling) How… you knew?
 
Fanny – I was a good friend of Lesley and the Vance family, (steps away) you have grown so much.
 
Harith – (confused) You know him?
 
Fanny – He was a baby when I first saw him. (chuckles) Don’t you remember, Harith?
 
Harith – Huh? Remember what?
 
Fanny – I took a trip to visit them, years ago, and when I came back you were really mad at me, hissing at me all the time, probably because I smelled like Harley.
 
Harith – Really!? That sure is weird (laughs)
 
Harley – (looks down) Harith… how long do we have to stay here?
 
Harith – We will only be a day. We need to get more equipment, supplies and food. We could also use a nice hot shower, don’t you think? (smiles)
 
Tigreal – Maybe he is tired, why not take him to your room, so he can settle.
 
Harith – Yes sir! (Moniyan Warrior pose) Follow me, Harley. (starts walking with Harley)
 
 
*At Harith’s room*
 
Harith – I never got the chance to tell you, thank you so much for what you did to Fanny. I know it made you lose your strength.
 
Harley – Oh, it’s okay, I knew I had to save her. (looks around and gets annoyed) There’s one bed…
 
Harith – (gets near Harley) Oh, yeah, you don’t mind right?
 
Harley – (gets nervous) Mind what?
 
Harith – Sleeping on the floor.
 
Harley – What!? (angry)
 
Harith – (laughs) Just kidding, I really meant (gets in front of him) sleeping next to me.
