C307: Susibility with Value

Litrez was surprise to recieve a call with Saga. It's not like he never did, it's just that Saga only tap her in when it comes to the orphanage. She stared at the painting that was gifted by her aunt. It has the face of a woman that speaks of beauty and elegance. Litrez had this thought that maybe Fur can help her from the strange events going on with the painting.

Kish was wrapping some tea for the costumer. When a luxurious car park at their gate. Litrez called Saga to let him know she arrived at the address he has given. She looked cute in her baby blue dress and hat.

Saga and Cherith welcomed her.

Litrez heared from Cherith that the four of them lived together. She can now understand why the four of them stick together in their batch. Litrez made a formal greetings, she gracefully made the royal greetings that made the Tale Bearers amazed.

"She is a modern princess." Nimrod commented.

Fur had them sat down. Litrez felt uncomfortable due to the crowd. When they noticed it, Agsus went back to his work. The kids helped Kish outside, only her classmate and Ain remained.

"I am honored to be invited by someone as highly regarded as you." Litrez started.

The compliment made Fur blushed.

"That is the same with us."

Saga and Ain came in with a tea and desert.

"I have asked you about that question due to the present I have recieved. It was strangely alive?" Litrez started.

"What do you mean? I don't seem to grasp that." Fur admitted.

"This painting with me, would shed tears whenever the light directly shine upon it." Litrez explained.

"Can i see it?" Fur asked

Litrez unclothed the painting and it revealed something that Urchin and Ain did not expected.

"Natalina!" The two recited in surprise.

"What is the name of the painting?" Fur asked.

"The Gem of First love." Letriz stated.

Urchin who was smart enough to grasp the situation run toward his room to get the painting. When Litrez saw it, she was more mesmerised.

"This paintings are similar." She exclaimed and examined the painting.

Urchin knew he did not imagined things. His eyes caught it. The image of his father crying from the painting.

"It was scary but at the same time it's gloomy." Litrez stated.

Fur nodded his head.

Cherith butt in and asked.

"Why so?"

Litrez gave him the look of someone who emphatised.

"Because what if they were truly alive but was forced to be a canvas?"

Urchin widened his eyes from the words.

"Sycamore!" Ole voiced out her thought but Ain gave her the sign that they should convince her to leave the painting.

Litrez gladly did and discuss about the pattern, balance, color and texture of drawing with Fur. It was afternoon when Litrez went home. When she left the triplets had this yearning to see their mother.

"Sycamore can you check on the past." Urchin directly asked.

"Sure, I can." Sycamore replied.

"This, is strange I can hear their voices but I can't see their past." Sycamore stated.

"Can you write up all that you can hear?" Ole asked.

"Yes." Sycamore replied.

He held the the paintings and heared Kiel.

"Burn the painting."

"We are no longer alive."

"Our era was done."

Natalina also voiced in agreement.

"We are long dead."

"Don't be caught by the past."

"Don't allow your past to be a vulture."

"Embrace your future."

When Ain read it he instantly informed Mem and Kennan who appeared by the evening.

"That is true. We have confirmed one thing, All the things about them are being taken advantage for idolatry purposes. And our job is to prevent that from happening." Kennan informed.

"But we are alive!" Ain yelled.

"Yes because you guys are younger." Mem stated.

"Then how about Nevi?!" He lived in different era. Remember that we all got scattered from one era to another. Most of us were thrown at the worst place. To prove that we found a book entitled Ophir and Lehi." Kennan spoke.

"So our desire to see them alive are making their spirits suffer?" Ole asked.

"Exactly." Mem replied.

"The whistle was no longer existing. We have confirmed it from the higher ups." Kennan added.

"Then how about Saga and Cyprus?" Ain asked.

"Cyprus and Natalina in the past, It seems that they were together." Mem said.

"Lila, my mother?" She is with your father on the post war.

"They were named hero against sorcery." Kennan stated.

"Then what about Wifey?" Cherith raised.

"That woman is suspicious. I don't know what she wanted but pretend that you do not suspect her. We have checked the filadelfa and found nothing about her." Kennan notified.

"But my father was alive!" Cherith argued.

"Was is in the past young man." Mem answered.

The room went silent.

"As a present we collected the proof that what we were saying are true." Mem stated.

Ole recieved the book.

The triplets took the engrave from the tomb.

Cherith also received a letter.

Saga strangely got Sage's apron.

"We forgot, Sage had a son." Kennan pointed.

Urchin received a sculpture from the era they retrieved the statue.

"The paintings are full of idolatry. Whoever drew it must have been connected to the shadows." Kennan stated.

"I can only think of one person. Who also used Lehi's facade. I bet she was also the person behind Hexel's body rotting." Kahieli hissed.

"Wifey might that be." Cherith added in pure anger.

"Let us burn this paintings." Kish stated.

Litrez did the burning behind the graveyard.

The whole gang were silent. Cries and voices were heared it got violent as the fire devoured the whole painting. It was a solemn goodbye at some point Ain felt guilty for being the only one who survived and raised the kids. Maybe the reason why he was left unmarried was to be loyal to this kids. The kids courageously faced and accept their future and thought.

"We can't keep living for what has been done and gone."
