Cherry blossom

(Mysterious man p.o.v)

Flying around and then becoming too tired. We had set a camp in the middle of the forest. I couldn't sleep while my other companion had long fallen a sleep like a log. I took a walk around, watching the stars. It remind me of the meagre life that we had.

While I was walking.. taking a stroll, I caught a scent of unfamiliar ones that made me followed it. The wind blows strongly, carrying few scattering pink petals that look like Buwa's footprint shape.

Odd. I never knew we had this here.

There, I saw from the top of the hill.. a figure sitting under the pink leaves tree.. she was wearing a white gown that flutter along the wind. Her hair tied up in a messy bun, barefoot. Makes one wonder.. if she's an elf?

But she had a two different eye colours; a green and a silver grey. Elf have only amethyst eyes even those hybrids would still have a slight speckled of purple in their eyes, as long as they had a drop of blood of elf.. I decided to watch her from far. She had a porcelain bottle on her hand, wearing a far away look on her face. What an ethereal and otherworldly looking woman doing, alone here?

I look around and couldn't find anyone or camping place.

She raised her bottle at the moon as if saluting it before drinking it. Then, it was then… she open her mouth and started to sing.

Oh moon of the night

Bear witness to my heart

A second chance

To take a glance

Oh woe my soul

My past life was foul

For all my life

Had been nothing until I am here

Oh moon of the night

I vow tonight

None shall crush

What I have left in my lush

Oh moon of the night

Let my fear be the light

That guns through the wall

I will live like how I shall

A siren! Vixen! Her voice had enthralled me. Spirits of lights circle around her, lighting up the whole place magnificently. It was a sight to behold.

The heart wrenching and soulful voice made my heart jump to my throat. I wanted to wrapped my arms around her, to protect her. Is this what one would call love first sight?

She stood, rather wobbly and just when she was about to drop, a flash of light came and scooped her up. A tall glowing man had her in his arms. And he look rather , familiar… where did I see him before? The glowing man whispered something before he look up, staring straight to me.

I was suddenly oppressed with a powerful pressure.

'It is not your time yet to meet her. Begone!' the loud voice rang inside my head like a thunder almost made my skull cracked into two. It was then, I had a sudden epiphany while being ipushed away and thrown back to where my companions had stayed.

They were alarmed by my sudden arrival and my current state that they all stood with their swords and shield on their hands.

"Who attacked you, Your highness?"

I waved my hand and shook my head. Even if the the whole world ganged up together, they couldn't even hope to land a hit on the man. What more with only a group of elite men I had with me. I do not wish to invite chaos that has no merit for me.

Though.. who was that woman that was carried away by the god itself?

Is she a goddess? The rumoured one, beloved of heaven?
