Rise 37
Aster
“Even eternity can’t keep us apart.”
-TasteofHeaven, by P. Cordelia
“Big Brother, when is Mama coming?” asked an innocent five years old
Aster, the god of fire, heaved a heavy sigh.
Hindi nya na mabilang kung pang-ilang beses nang itinanong ito ni Ainsley sa kanya.
At hanggang ngayon, wala pa din syang sagot dito.
“Go to sleep. It’s late.” Saad na lamang nya
Hindi nya pa din lubusang mapaniwalaan na naging isang munting five years old na lamang ang kanyang kaibigan.
“I want to see my Mama.” Ainsley complains
“She’s probably busy.” Is all Aster could say as an excuse. He can’t bear to tell him that his mother is long gone.
“I miss her.” Ainsley said sadly
“What is she like?” curious na tanong ni Aster saka umupo sa tabi ng munting bata
“My Mama? She’s the most beautiful! And the best mother in the whole wideeeee world!” Ainsley said animatedly
This kid is trying to exaggerate his words, isn’t he?
“My Mama have beautiful blue eyes. But it turns gold when she’s really angry!” Ainsley
Aster nod as he pretend to listen attentively.
“My Mama have long blonde hair. And she always smells like flowers!” Ainsley
Blonde hair? Blue eyes?
“You look like her then.” Aster
“You think I look like her, big brother?” Ainsley
Aster nod his head.
Ainsley smiled happily.
“Now go to bed.” Aster
Ainsley finally agreed this time.
He went to bed to sleep.
Aster finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Should he find a woman with blue eyes and long blonde hair?
Will that help?
Aster shook his head, “Nope, that’s a terrible idea.”
Ainsley won’t definitely accept just anyone as his mother.
He might get angry instead, and if that happens, Ainsley might accidentally destroy Elysium.

When the night fell, and darkness envelops the land, a silhouette moves stealthily in the cover of the night.
“We’re near. But this place is surrounded by Immortals.” Leona said telepathically to Nisha
She may be strong, but she can get squash to death by those Immortals who’s a realm higher than her.
Good thing she’s an assassin who’s good with stealth, she’s not yet discovered by the Immortals patrolling the land.
Plano nyang hanapin si Arius. Kung hindi nya ito matatagpuan, si Solstice ang sunod nyang pakay.
But maybe luck is not on her side.
A strong gust of wind passed by and it sent her flying in the air.
