Calus gazed at the empty teacups in front of him and sighed.
The years had passed so quickly… and now, it was time.
The organization had begun to move again. This would likely be the end of their peaceful lives as mortals.
Now… they had to return to duty.
Calus stood up. The table and teacups turned to dust, scattering across the low grass.
He walked back into the house and saw the table already set, with Mabi and his daughter waiting for him.
"Are you done?" Mabi asked.
Calus smiled and nodded.
"Yes… Come, Eva. Let me feed you," he said.
His daughter beamed, jumping off her seat and running toward him. He lifted her up and placed her on his lap.
And so, they began to eat.
"Open up… the spaceship is about to land," Calus said with a wide, playful smile.
"Ahhh…" Eva opened her mouth, receiving the spoon with a cheeky grin.
"Mayday! Mayday! The spaceship has been hit!" Calus laughed.
Mabi rested her chin on her palm, watching the father and daughter play as they ate.
