Idris's POV
The ride to the other island was not long, mostly because we were going at an incredible speed, the boys and I are going to have a little fun out their and we have twelve days all to ourselves. Except when the people we have to train gets here.
An hour in our worlds is a day here, twelve days here means twelve hours in our world, honestly we use to pend time just wasting reward money we got from missions, but who cares it's our live anyway and our captain use to love parties and fun adventures, that was when she could see.I wonder if she would get to enjoy one like she used to.
the cold sharp wind cut my face bringing me back to the yacht, looking at Diablo's face, well he's doing okay, but Sylus... he will be fine I hope he well be fine,
we all have our struggles, and among us he has it the worst or at least he cant seem to fully recover, it's normal to feel protective over him, he is the youngest among us after all and Diabol might not say or show it but deed down he cares too just that his discipline gets in the way of his affection, in a way I think he being strict on us is his only way to show affection, funny if you think about it.
a splash of water slipped on my face
I turned to see dolphins splashing, jumping in and out, they look adorable, cute and care free like nothing could ever harm them.
the sapphire sea was beautiful with all its life, I could see the land slowly picking out from the horizon
We arrived at the beach side of the island,
the sun was going down, you could see three crescent moons slowly gaining their glow, the flowers stared to glow too, most of the flowers here glow in the dark it's more magical when the three moons are full, the place was slowing gaining the night glow street light were turning on one by one and night shops were opening,
it doesn't go quite at night instead the place gain new life and light the air smells like charcoal and grilled meat, in a distance music filled the air, there was a dram show going one people were dancing it almost like a festival,
but that the way of life for the flocks there, you only see the island when you visit at night,
I personally agreed to come here for a reason , I promise someone I will be coming to see her that is probably why I drugged the boys with me although it sounds selfish but looking at that passion in their eyes I only feel like I did them a favor.
We stepped out of the yacht and went to the mainland, the streets were as busy as usual, trust me you could come here at midnight and the streets will still be busy, it's like the town never sleeps.
The boys got hooked up by their Interest of course they would, this land has that kind of effect on everyone no matter who or what you are,
they separated almost immediately and got to what best interests them that's how it's always is, find what you're interested in and do it. Dia was off looking at the BBQ section while Sylus was checking out the ornament and stuff, bro has an eye for them.
The land is vast but not as big as The Land of Vireg,
one won't mind if one goes missing, it's filled with so many activities, it's like and endless party. I looked at the guys one more time, Dia was stuffing his face while looking into another restaurant, sometimes I wonder whether his lust sin is for food. Sylus had about ten rings on his fingers, basic behavior for my boys,
honestly I would freak out if they did something different .
I took the opportunity and slipped out, I'm not here to eat or have fun, I have something else on my sleeves , I party along with them but not today,
The streets were lit with lanterns and the glowing flowers was giving it a decorative touch, people in costumes and what they call traditional outfits walked about.
I moved away from the noise and down a familiar path, the more I walked the more I got farther away from the main Streets, the loud music and talking faded bit by bit with every step. I came across a small river, the sky above reflected in it, so perfectly it looks like the sky itself was on the ground,
Soon I came by a humble house with lots and lots of flowers resting in the middle of two trees that stood taller than the house, from the distance I could already smell a whatever was bringing prepare, it smelled nice, spicy but nice, I heard children laughing looks like they are home.
I knocked on the wooden door and waited, a shadow moved to open it,
a woman with deep blue hair stood inside wearing an apron and a kitchen knife in her hands,
"my back,....mom" I waved and she instantly hugged me sending the knife far from me
" I missed you.. we all did " she whispered against my hair,
"come in" stepping aside I walked in and was hit with a sweet aroma
"something smells nice" I said while looking toward the kitchen.
' get some rest, I will be done soon"
the house looked clean and spotless, every surface was shining, I'm sure she cleaned the house that would explain the disinfectant scent that couldn't be masked by the aroma,
everything else was in place just as I remember but I noticed new flower vases that wasn't there before, there was soft music coming from hidden speakers, she is really a hard worker.
She is Lunara Crowmere
she is my mother... well at least that's what I call her
she looks like my mom though, her looks down to what she likes, how she talks, everything about her is just like my mom,
she is my mother because I lost mine back when I was fourteen about four years ago,
you see my mom was the kind to believe in anything superstition known to mankind, she believed in many religious groups and honestly it was exhausting,
She practices rituals, burns candles and sprinkles salt water, whatever that gives off supernatural vibes, you name it she did it, the only thing I love about it was the flower plants, they were beautiful most of the smelled nice,.... yeah most of them.
She has always been like that and I was fine with it dad was fine with it too, it was fun listening to her go on about myths and tails, those times were peaceful.
My siblings and I love the stories she tells us, we sometimes believe them till four years ago, when for some reason she tried a ritual she found in a book somewhere and accidentally summoned a demon...
you can guess what happened next.
it was an eight legged creature the size of a track, I remembered because I tried desperately to get it leg off of my little sister while having another leg in my shoulders I remember the other limbs destroying everything in sight
the thing took my mom and injured my brother and I then went full destroy mode on the villages,
that was my first time meeting Lady Asha. She descended from the skies like an angel manga the situation like she had done it before,
oddly enough everyone forgot about her when she left, I was given the invitation to join her team.
The first day I stepped foot on this island, I met Lunara and it was like my mom was back, she also lost a son the same age I was on the very same day my mom died,
We instantly connected.
" honey.... mind telling your siblings to come down for dinner " she spoke from the kitchen as a little boy and girl ran around trying to beat each other to an invisible raising game. They stopped and looked at me with their big eyes.
" hey creepy crowing monsters, mom says it's dinner time" I carried them both to the dinner table.
she walked into the room with big bowls, the steam still rose from it ,
after serving the room fell silent except for the clicking of spoons to plates.
" why is dad " my brother asked
" he is probably working now honey " she didn't look from her plate.
after eating I took my siblings to the main street for some fun time,
eating, drinking ,playing all kinds of games, we even ran into the others,
its like a blessing in disguise,
