A NEW BEGINNING....

It was a cold and beautiful morning, with the wind whistling unto our ears and the sun brightening up the paths, mobs waking from their nice slumber, and flowers blooming by the gully with stunning waters and by the awning flank of the mountains.

The morning glory flower wakes each morning and opens, its blossom to greet the world. As the day reaches its end and the sun sets, the flower slowly curls up and takes its rest, it has bloomed.

 "Morning is an important time of day because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have." "Every morning is a beautiful morning." "I like my tea hot and my mornings bright." "When I wake up every morning, I bless the new day."

I was admiring everything in the sound of the shinny-splashing waterfall right at the seat of the valley.

I gazed my eye upon the daylight, it contemplated into my eye, held up my hand to occlude it. "what a beautiful..."

"Anon!!" Angel shouted.

"oh Angel isn't it a fine and lovely day" I turned to my sides to notice Angel was not within my eyesight.

"Angel, Angel!! Where are.." *BAAM* it all slowed down...I fell to a presumed dead state...

A blackout...

"Wake up sleepy head," she said.

Tiredly and softly,I opened my eye from the blackout to see Angel outfitted in a silk-like short nightgown.

It was just a dream...but the sunrise still looks exquisite.

"hey good morning Angel"

"get up fast we have to get to shop before buyers come and can't find us there"

I looked out the window and saw everywhere was getting busy, oh I slept in excessively, "Angel get ready while cleaning up, and when you are done I will get ready too"

"Customers don't deserve to be kept out waiting so I will be going, I will hurry so you will get in fast too to get ready and there is no need to tidy up, I did that while you were asleep."

"oh thanks"

She went out of my room to the bathroom to have a bath while I brushed my teeth and waited for her, she got done and ready and I also did.

We got dressed headed to the shop and greeted some neighbors on the footpath.

We went in and set up our apothecary for the day.

..... THE GELON APOTHECARY.....

Ohhhh.,. you must be wondering, how did it get to this..let you on a brief journey into the past.

...

Eight months ago, I and Angel got out of Teresa's clutches and we made it out safe and sound. We found ourselves lost in the woods.

Our grimoires were still very much intact and safe, we took them and began a journey to anywhere unknown to us, we could have cast a spell like Angel's location spell but she was too exhausted to cast which will render the spell weak.

Unfortunately for us, we found a small local village. Yes, unfortunately, the people didn't like outcasts and instead of taking us in or trying to know why we turned out up there, they made an effort to exile us for some reason. Well, it would have been fortunate if they wanted to exile us.

According to their culture, exile means to victimize, torment, and burn the person. Someone or let me say, a Foreigner must have done them badly in the past and they chose to see every other outcast the way they see the person.

"But we were just passing by, we didn't do anything" Angel cried out.

They had already gotten us tied up.

"You guys have pledged to come furthermore and annihilate us, but fear, not you guys are the ones that will be eliminated." Villager spoke out.

"What are you talking about?" I was very much confused.

"Followers of Hiroshi always act up when caught, they never show their true motive, you wouldn't leave us alone"Lady at the back yells.

"We were just passing by, don't you guys have a sense of welcoming?" Angel was getting pissed.

"Ohhhh" the crowd shouts.

"she is showing are true color now"The same lady yells again.

"Burn Them Burn Them. Burn Them....." The crowd exclaims.

Some rose with torches to set forth to our demise

"STOP!!" we heard from the back.

"Stop, they ain't his followers," he said.

We turned to the extreme, and right at the end, it was a man, who I would say was a farmer from how he dressed.

"how do you know?" They all asked.

"Well you all know very much I do my hunting in the afternoon when the animals will be hungry and ready to get a bite" he let out.

"That's not a point, you know there are consequences to stopping this"the same lady screams again.

"Let me finish, while hunting I found these two in the bushes, lying unconsciously, well they were outcasts and I didn't know them."

"that doesn't prove anything"Man confronts him.

"like I was saying after I saw them, I didn't hesitate to pass by and I did, I hunted finished, and on my way back, then I found both of them hugging, I hid in the bushes to listen to their conversation and trust me it was a bad thing."

"then what are you saying?" A man stands up again.

"you don't get me, the reason why I said bad was that they were being attacked and tortured by no other than Teresa."

*GASPS*

"Do..you mean... ?"

"yes His sister"

*MORE GASPS*

let's cut to the chase, the villagers realized their mistake and saw we were not a threat and they released us, we also discovered we were in the dream spell for a couple of minutes but that is a story for another day.

They took us in as their kind and we lived a joyous life.

As for a home, they gave us a building that has been abandoned, not too shaggy, we made it a home sweet home and lived there for a matter of time, we became adventurers since we already had skills we quickly reached rank C from Z within 2 months.

We grew fast and did enough, and kept the neighborhood clean.

We got enough and settled in and retired as adventures.

While we were adventurers, we would gather some herbs but normal and rare, and kept I'm a safe place.

We had already planned on opening an apothecary while we had put a stay in there.

We became very close to the villagers and became like family.

That even gave us more motivation because we knew we would always have people that will trust in us and come to buy, we made quite the reputation.

After getting to the C rank we still were adventurers but we retired in the third month, we had already collected a lot of things. We went ahead to start working. There was an apothecary around the neighborhood which we did apply for and we both got the job. We worked there for four months, which gave us an understanding of how to use what we mostly gathered while adventuring and killing monsters.

We even had to use some of what we gathered in the working place because of some lack of materials. They even gave us more insight into using how we can use the rare items that they didn't have, well yes, though we worked there that didn't mean we couldn't sell. What we gave them was sold to them and we kept the money so we can use it in building our very own apothecary. Because the number of items we gathered was excessive, we could sell them off.

We told our master that we would like to get our very own apothecary and be alone and want to have our leave, but he didn't like that idea.

"I thought we were into this together," he said.

"Yes Mr. Daniel, but we can't do this forever"Angel replied.

"oh, that's sad but can you guys stay for at least one more week".

We both agreed"it is not complete yet, so let's stay" Angel stated, and told him"yes sir, will do".

He was delighted as we stayed. While we were there, we had already contacted a constructor who had already started building three months before we told Mr. Daniel's that we would like to leave.

The work was already completed five days after our final stay, a weak reached and we said our goodbyes and left.

We saw it and it was missing something, it was missing a name, "Angel we were so busy with other things that we didn't find a name for our Apothecary." I announced.

"oh!! I gave it a thought while we were working at Mr. Daniel's and I thought of us combining our names" she let out.

"Ohh! Like ANGEL AND ANON'S APOTHECARY or ANON AND ANGEL'S APOTHECARY"

"no dummy, I mean like to merge the names"

"oh, I get it now, you mean like ANGEL, no ANON... no, it wouldn't work, if we merge our names, it will make just one of our names your AN plus my ON or my AN plus your GEL, we can't use the two first letters because...."

"Shhh!!! You talk to many anons, I know what you are talking about, I have thought of it and instead of going for the front we just go for the other half of our names, like for me GEL, and for you ON, so it can be ONG..."

"I've got it"I interrupted.

"From now our it is called THE GELON APOTHECARY."
