[OP: ]
In a small room that resembles the room of a child, with a bed in one corner of the room, some dolls placed on the shelves above this bed, some dolls lying around the room, with a round table in the middle of the room, some empty chairs placed all around it, there were a few open books lying on the ground, and an adorable little girl looking out of the window, looking up at the moon that was strangely looking straight at her.
"Sister…"
Some little creatures resembling little fluffy balls of fur gathered around her and looked up at her as her long black hair even more beautiful than the cloud covered night sky, and her red jewelled eyes shining under the serene blue moonlight with sad expressions on their adorable colourful faces.
"I'm… ok."
Wearing a little, white night dress, holding a white teddy bare in her left hand, playing with her little necklace with her other hand and looking at the half moon in the sky, she sighed deeply, looked at the furballs gathered around her, and shook her head.
"Really."
"Noooooo…"
They all denied her words in unison and jumped a step closer to her, looking at her with a sad expression.
"Sister is sad…"
Their clear blue eyes looking at her were bigger and almost filled with tears and she couldn't see her little friends like that so she sat down, the blue moonlight from the window still giving her a strange ethereal look, so pure it would even surprise the celestial angels that watched over the world as some of the few primordial beings.
"I'm alright. It's just… everything feels more quiet now that they are really gone."
She sighed and hugged the dull white furball who was the most tearful after seeing her sadness.
"But it's alright, Dome, Haru, Lala, Ely. I will be alright.
I have Mr. Rice and Celes too, right?
If I feel alone, I will just tell them to contact big brother so that we all can talk.
I'm just not… used to this loneliness."
She hugged the furball more genially and the others also jumped ahead, surrounded her, and hugged her with the same gentle care as her.
Anna… today was the first day she had spent without her brothers and sisters.
She already knew this day would come and she had prepared herself to live without their presence. She knew it would take time and it won't be like this for that long of a time so she was alright, she was unfamiliar with this strange feeling but she still had many people, Marty friends, many other family members that she can play with, talk with, and learn new things from.
And now that they aren't here, she can spend more of her time doing something new. Something that they all liked. Something that they all loved so much that they all practised it every single day when they were almost as young as her.
She liked those cool things that they all did, probably even loved them, but she wasn't much interested in actually practising those when they all were here.
But now that they were all gone…
"I will be fine," she mumbled and lay down on the floor, covered by the warm colourful furballs, closed her eyes, and in the room only lit by the light of the half moon raining through the big window, our little angel fell asleep, and one by one, her round friends also followed her in the magical slumber of this lone night.
…
-Click.
The door of the room cracked opened a bit and a pair of brown, green, blue, and violet eyes looked inside one by one.
…
They observed the room for a while, looked around the messy floor covered by books and dolls, then as they looked at the ethereal scenery of thier little black haired angel and the thirty two povpoi sleeping on the floor under the light of the window, those four pairs of eyes warmed up.
-Click.
Then the door closed just as silently as it was opened.
"She is doing better than I thought." The older voice among them, the voice of Anna's blue eyed grandma, first spoke up and followed behind her a worried voice of her violet eyed second aunt, "But she is sleeping on the floor. Shouldn't we move her to her bed?"
"It's alright," reassured the gentle voice of her green eyed first aunt, and adding to her words, the voice of her dear mom whispered quietly, "It's alright. She has a habit on sleeping on the floor so Eon put some kind of special enchantment on her entire floor that makes it probably more comfortable than her bed".
Her mom, lady Nolan, was relived to see her dear daughter's current condition.
She was sleeping with a better expression right now, which was better than the whole day where she didnt talk with anyone much and just stayed by herself and the povpois'.
She was better now, and at least as her mom, she was relived to see this.
"Then it's better." Hazel, her second aunt, also had a relived expression on her face now that she heard that.
And though there was the matter regarding the weight of all the povpois' they weren't much worried about it thanks to the eternal presence of Anna's Mr. Rice by her side.
"Alright then. Let's go ladies." Their elder mother Griz suggested with a happy smile on her face and all of them nodded reassuringly and walked away with careful, silent steps.
"I wonder what they all are doing." Lady Augustine wondered, catching interest of both the other moms who had spent a day without seeing thier little children or even hearing thier voices.
"I know they all are doing great so you three also go and rest." Lady Griz pushed all three of them from behind just when they were about to engage in a new conversation that was undoubtedly going to be a long one.
And these three ladies who had been just as lonely as thier little one, far more worried than usual in a long time, and far, far more tired after working too hard to not worry this entire day, there was only one thing these three needed and that wasn't another long conversation that might branch off to new things and take thier entire night.
No, she couldn't let that happen.
They needed rest and if they really wanted to have any chat, thier husbands were there waiting for them.
And though lady Aug didn't have her partner, she had Mave. They can chat if they wanted to and fall asleep while talking in thier rooms.
That was the wish of thier elder mother and they couldn't ignore that. At least not today where she meant this for thier own good.
So… those were the worried ladies on this part of the land and then there were the two ladies sitting on the terrace of thier house on the southern part of the empire.
"Elle and Eon must have got a good place." The old lady with silver shimmering hair who didn't look old in any manner said while looking up at the moon on her left side and the lady with brown hair that though looked normal but still carried an unknown allure, nodded at her words while similarly looking up at the moon on her right side.
"I think they are also looking at this sky, actually… a better, more clear, and bigger sky filled with many more visible stars from that high up sky island than us.
But still, though at different distance, their moon and our moon would be the same, right mother?"
She smiled while saying that and the lady before her nodded with a same happy smile as her.
"Poor little Elle."
And then she sighed, put her hands on the table before her, and rested her head on them.
"Haaaa…"
And lady Oran, Rein's mother, did the same as lady Arian Rein's grandmother, and the two rested on the spot that had always belonged to thier two young children… who were now somewhere high up in the sky, starting a new chapter of thier lives, not doing many things that a newly enguaged couple should do.
But they didn't have any say in ther personal matter so… they just sat there, looking up at the sky and the moon, lost in thier thoughts, roaming thier own special worlds.
And the sky of empire was clouded today, stars had lost thier way to their usual path that took them to them, and only the brave moon was visible, fighting against the calm clouds, maintaining his eternal place as the sole ruler of this night sky.
But these ladies weren't the only angelic figures looking up at the moon, asking him questions, talking with him about the worldly tings, or writing poetry that could still never portray the ecstasy that this ruler of the nightly sky spread.
There were the three emperesses who praised the unique sky from thier palace chamber; there was the lady elf and mage captain of Eon's house who sat under a tree reading a book in her delicate, but deadly hands; there was the assassin squad captain of Rein's house, carrying out her usual tasks, bathed in the blood of the enemies of her masters.
There was the vice principal on the sky island, bathing in the secret mystical hotsprings of their academy; there was the vice student council president who roamed the island in her spectral form, observing the pretty vice captain of dark society, trying to get over the incident that took place yesterday.
There was Carla who swung her sword in the calm of this night; there was Princess Isabella who studied her magic under the shadow of a cool foliage; there was Quin who read a certain book under the moonlight coming from the window before her study table that her friend Lucifer had handed her after thier dinner and shopping; and then there was the fairy captain of fusion stardust who slept on the head of her familiar, that dominated a new part of this borderland wilderness.
They were angelic, the moonlight was thier blanket today, and though there were many other angelic ladies, we will end the chapter with the last moments of this genital, serene blanket that graced the three ladies that sparkled just as beautifully as the little sleeping Anna.
And, well, they couldn't be just any pretty lady if we were comparing them to the best existence in this world right?
So…
Of the three pretty ladies, one was naturally Rein who was happily playing a certain fun game on the Maginet with her darling as they sat in thier new balcony under this late night sky; the other was also obviously Zoe who looked down from the window of her room with a smile on her face that seemed like she was smiling while looking at something down there; and lastly… there was Lizzy.
The unique girl who placed in high rankings just by selling some food, who then became the house captain of the [Fascinated mages], the girl that caught the eyes of many spectators, and the girl that caused a serious situation for Eon just by being there.
She was the half-angel that made Eon cough bad blood, she was the one protected by a demon king of hell, she was the one that practically no one knew anything about, and she was the one that Eon wanted to be a part of their family.
She wasn't practically gorgeous in her current appearance or anything as she peacefully slept in her dorm room however, even with just the glimmer of the celestial light sparkling on her face, was illuminating her entire being.
She was an anomaly, an element that shouldn't exist in this perfect nature. However, she was special. And she was somewhat like a mix of Quin who didn't know much about the world, Zoe who wouldn't do much even with her great powers, and Carla who dreamed of something too difficult but not impossible to achieve.
She was special, she was an angel… and this special night that was going to mark a new chapter of her life, also belonged to her as much as the image of our happily sleeping Anna.
