Enigma of Darkness ✨

The unexpected date

People forget and forgive easily, especially those matters that do not concern them directly. Like here in the Wolford, they started to get back to their lives and act normal. They forgot about the omegas locked up in unknown circumstances they might be facing.

No one other than the families of the omegas cared about it. They resumed their work and got busy with daily life activities. Not everyone can sit still when they have a family to feed and bills to pay. A few days of protest evaporated into nothing.

Lucian has, however, not forgotten his aim. He wanted to go to the office like usual and get busy with work, submit his article, irritate Keon for no reason, and get immersed in writing provocative articles.

There are not many days left of his internship here. He wanted to use these days to explore books and articles and make this internship memorable for him as well as this head office.

This is what he had in mind until Moon Goddess appeared out of nowhere and sat on the desk where he was working. She looked and acted different today and started telling Lucian about a tale.

Lucian was beyond confused. He had no idea why he was listening to this kindergarten story.

"So then the Prince went in search of his one true love and left no stone unturned. He looked everywhere around the city, talked to every girl suitable to be his partner, but she was nowhere to be seen." Moon Goddess narrates expressively.

Lucian tried to be attentive and listened to the story, but near the end of it, he started to doze off listening to this long and exaggerated love tale.

The Moon Goddess flicks his forehead. She looks at him with disappointment and continues, "And then when he got tired and was losing hope to find one, he saw a beautiful lady sitting by the riverside humming a song."

Lucian licks his lips, bored to the extreme. However, he entertains her, saying a "Wow." dryly. He picks up his phone to check notifications.

"She is a witch, one of the guards said." The Moon Goddess continues. This time she scares him, shouting the words near his ear.

Lucian who had almost jumped from his seat and was holding his chest at the moment, rubs his ear and looks up at the Moon Goddess, exhausted more than the Prince himself.

"Does the story go like this- The prince still believed in the witch and after many hardships, both lived happily ever after," Lucian asks, yawning.

He interestingly finds a crease appear between the brows of the Moon Goddess. She silently stares at him. "Have you heard the story before?" She asks curiously.

Lucian smiles. "It is predictable. Humans always hope for happiness ever after and survive through struggle by that hope."

Moon Goddess smiles brightly upon hearing this. She leans down and pinches Lucian's cheeks. "Such a wise son I have. Then I will listen to more stories from the children and come back to you. You have to understand love to feel it."

Before Lucian can stop her, she disappears. Lucian glances at the team looking at him. Fred glances around in horror. "Whom were you talking to?" He asks, trembling.

Lucian laughs dryly, "I...myself...I lost a very interesting page." The team looks at him skeptically and then goes back to their work, not minding him. They were already exhausted and had dark circles with the amount of work put on them.
