19 Can We Dance, Farah?

"Long time ago, when everything was at peace, Redenza, the Lady of Healing, the same woman who helped Gazaria. She who holds such power using her ring, and it was said that whoever finds it, can be healed with the things they want to," Ellenia began, Oxoluz and Farah was listening quietly.

"It was said that the ring was lost, Redenza herself hid it somewhere in her home after she used it to Gazaria," Ellenia added and suddenly Farah asked.

"If that's the case, how can we find it then?" she asked and Ellenia used her magic before answering.

Ellenia waved her hand and a shadow appeared and slowly it transformed into a home, it was made out of glass, it was beautiful and if shines. "You see, we don't need to find the ring using our eye. Redenza made a test in that home, it is filled with magic, that only if you can solve it. Only then you'll have the chance to see what is inside," Ellenia said and turned her gaze to Farah and Oxoluz.

"Do you know what the test is?" Farah asked Ellenia, and as a response, she shook her head, making Farah gave a sigh.

"What's the plan then?" Farah asked once again before turning her gaze to Oxoluz.

"For today, we have to rest. Ysandria will not destroy Gazaria, she'll just rule over it so we have to be ready to dethrone her sooner or later," Ellenia said and Farah thought that it is actually best is she really made herself stronger than what she think she is, so she asked.

"Do you really think I can be stronger?" Farah asked and Oxoluz was the one who answered her question.

"I have no doubt," he said and smiled at Farah.

Ellenia nodded before she spoke as well, "you have the same power as Gazaria— Farah. You are much more powerful than him to be honest, but today, you are not. You will have to learn more about the techniques and wisdom of the power you possess, and you can start it by resting your body." Ellenia finished and Farah agreed to it.

The day came normal. As Ellenia said, Farah did rest her body. She let herself sleep for hours and calm her body.

Night then came and the three of them had dinner. Farah noticed that Oxoluz is taking care of her, and Farah wanted to smile and to hug him, she wants to say thank you but, she doesn't know why she couldn't.

She just nodded as a response each time Oxoluz helps him on a certain thing. After their dinner, they went to bed and for hours, Farah couldn't manage to fall asleep so she tidy up and went to the garden.

In the garden she found Oxoluz, he was training on using a Surujin. A smile slowly painted on Farah's lips. Oxoluz was so hot as he moves his arm swiftly.

After doing so she shook her head. A few seconds after, Oxoluz turned to her and he was shocked. He didn't know that Farah was watching her, "hey, why are you still awake?" Oxoluz asked and Farah raised both of her eyebrows before replying.

"I can't sleep," Farah said and smiled at Oxoluz, "but I'll go to bed soon," she said and was about to leave so that she can't interrupt Oxoluz's training when suddenly Oxoluz held her hands.

"Stay," he said and a genuine smile painted on his lips. "I want you to stay for a while, can you do that for me?"

Suddenly, Farah felt as if the time froze and her body burned when Oxoluz grabbed her. Her heart was beating so fast and she felt her own cheeks burn that she can't look at Oxoluz.

"Yeah, s-sure I'll stay," Farah said and gulped. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she pulled her hand away from Oxoluz.

A chuckle then escaped Oxoluz's mouth and he spoke, "thank you Farah." He continued training and Farah sat on the ground still wearing the dress.

Moments have passed and Oxoluz wasn't done in his training when he suddenly asked, "will you dance with me?"

"What did you say?" Farah asked with a smile painted in her lips this time.

Oxoluz turned his gaze to Farah and smiled at her, "I said, will you dance with me?"

"Right here?" Farah asked back and Oxoluz shook his head and went near Farah. He pulled her up and keeped her close to his.

"I want to dance with you," Oxoluz whisperer to Farah's ears.

"Let's dance then," Farah replied and chuckled.

Slowly, Farah let her hands rest on Oxoluz's shoulder and Oxoluz wrapped his arms around Farah's waist. "Linanio solania," Oxoluz casted a spell, balls of different colors of light then appeared above them.

Those lights made the moment so magical that made Farah happy, for no reason she felt as if, everything was alright and nothing is wrong. Maybe because this is the thing she wanted. Simple, the most simplest gestures in life and not something filled with chaos.

"I think I like you, Oxoluz."
