3 A Miracle for Them
"Honey stop," the woman said to the man. But the man still continued thinking it was just pillow talk.
"I said stop!" With her words, the man was blown away from the bed, naked. Before he fell with his butt, his figure got back onto the bed with a fast speed.
"Why? Did I do something wrong honey?" the man inquired while making his voice cutesy to appease his wife.
"No, it's just I can feel intruders in our house," she answered him back.
Getting up from the bed, she grabbed her white bathrobe thrown on the floor.
She intended to go straight to the place where she felt them with her wind element. The position of the intruders remained the same for some reason. It was quite weird.
Her husband acted like a depressed puppy on the bed, sulking.
Seeing this, she walked next to him, gave him a smooch on the cheek, and walked out of their bedroom.
Right after his wife acts, James' face lights up. He quickly put on his robes and ran towards his wife using his crest, which was speed.
When he reached near his wife, he took her into his arms.
"How may I escort you, my Princess Anna?" He sweetly joked with his wife.
"To the garden, near my favorite roses," Anna replied to him.
It was dark outside, but the moonlight shone brightly in their garden. It was one of the reasons they built their house here after they bought this land at a high price.
James Lumino, a man in his thirties. He has black hair with eyes that resembled an ocean. He can be considered a successful businessman overseas. He was also famous in the upper societies for breaking the limits of his crest which none of his late families were able to.
His family bloodline had been possessing a crest that has a lightning bolt symbol with black color and a tinge of purple. It can speed up the owner of the crest and what's more, James could produce electricity with it. It was totally different from his lighting element though.
His wife, Anna Lumino, former Anna Flare, the daughter of the Flare family. It had been a really famous family in their country because of the beauty of their crest power. The crest shape being the pattern of a phoenix, a crimson red one.
Anna can morph herself into a large crimson red phoenix and ride the wind using her beautiful wings. But she was not the favorite child of her family. Most of the family members in the Flare family could already produce fiery wings while she can't. Due to that, she wasn't treated well in her family.
They cut ties with her long ago as the result of breaking one of the pure family rules, marrying James, an outsider.
As they arrived near the place where the intruders were, they smelled blood.
The intruders she felt since the time appeared in their house were lying on the grasses, unmoving and a pond of blood was surrounding the body. But the number she felt was two.
'Why is there only a dead man there?' she contemplated as she lifted up the corpse of the seemingly dead man with her wind element.
Both Anna and James were surprised by what they were seeing after lifting up the dead man. While he was floating in the air, under his blood-soaked clothes, wrapped with another piece of cloth was a baby.
Anna instantly brought the baby towards her, not even caring about the blood on the baby.
She got down from her husband's arms and pulled the baby in her arms. It made her white bathrobe stained with blood. She checked if the baby was still alive. Unbelievably, it was a miracle because the baby was still breathing.
James went to the floating dead man and pulled out some of his hair, he knew that this would be needed some times later. He knew his wife far too well in this case.
Also, the attire the dead man was wearing was strange in his eyes. They weren't something you would see, even on fashion shows which showed strange clothes combinations.
From observing the man for quite some seconds, James found that the man's hand was gripping something.
Pulling the grip open, something fell off from it. He caught it before it dropped to the grass.
On his palm, he could see a dark bluish-colored square-shaped stone with complex arabesques.
'What an elegant piece of art' he thought while seeing this kind of unique arabesque for the first time in life. It must be quite important to the dead man if he were to grip it so tight even in his death.
He turned to look at his wife who was already gazing at him with a face that was about to cry.
"She must be a miracle God gave to us," she told her husband as her eyes shifted to the baby in her arms filled with bliss.
