Celestine
This butterfly, which had peculiar crystal-like blue wings, was looking at me and I was looking at her.
There was a strange attraction about her and something... different.
I was admiring its beauty, just like I had done with all the beasts I had come across.
The beautiful pure white mother snake with ruby eyes, the rabbit with a white body and black ears I hunted, and the parrot that I saw thanks to my blessed luck were gorgeous.
But... this was different from any of that.
My heart, which had never pumped fast if not in danger, was beating faster and there was an unfamiliar warmth to it.
It was a feeling like meeting a long-lost friend.
It was a feeling you would get when meeting with family after a long time or...
Maybe a feeling when you see someone you genuinely love?
With my hand stretched forward to catch it from the long distance, I walked forward.
It was strange, but I could feel the butterfly's emotions.
