Love Birds

The members of the Craftsman's Guild were astounded to see Grandmaster Remus personally accompanying his disciples for registration. The process was straightforward: create, craft, or forge an item, which then needed approval from at least five of the nine senior guild council members.

They were prepared to register these men immediately, given Remus's escort. Normally, masters would send letters of recommendation and, upon approval from the council members, receive their master craftsmen's identification badge.

However, the six insisted on taking the test. After crafting the weapons and presenting them to the senior selection council, not a single member could reject their work.

Dinner was a happy affair and all the group members were having a great time. Alan stood up at the end of the dinner looked around with a solemn expression. " All of you were aware that we had plannings to go on a journey after the university studies. And now the time has arrived for us to start our journey."

There was a stunned silent in the room. Everyone exchanged silent looks. Sadness was palpable as they all knew that, this is the time when they will be going on their seperate ways. Atleast for a few years. Especially the ladies were having hard time to accept the fact. Their eyes filled with unshed tears, they looked at their friends.

Rodric and Daniel were also sad to get seperated from them so soon but were happy for their friends, as they knew that this will be a turning point in their life. On the other hand, both Harry and Remus were happy and proud of their disciples.

We are not going to leave immediately so don't worry everyone. We will be here in the capital for a couple of weeks, then we will travel to our home and will spend some time with our family. Lilly and Irene felt relieved, visibly relaxing their shoulders and let out a slow breath.

"Its not a good bye guys. We will make sure to gather together here at the Capital after three years and then will go to our home together." Alan concluded his speach and sat down.

After a few more minutes of talk, everyone got up from the dining table. At the crowded reading room, Remus asked Alan curiously, " Alan, how are you guys planning to start your journey? Will you all be traveling together?"

"We will start our journey from the Winden City. And....." Alan looked a bit sad at this point. "And we will be taking our own paths Master Remus."

"Even before we all got to know each other, we had, had some ideas about our futures. We will revisit those idea's once we reach Green Town and then will decide on how to proceed further."

Remus noded his head in understanding. After an hour of casual discussion, everyone started from Master Remus's place. The air was filled with a heavy silence. No one talked for a long time.

Once they were at the entrance of the Royal palace, Daniel sighed. "Alas, I can't travel like you guys. I am so jealous of you all." Even Bella noded her head in agreement with her brothers comment.

"Why can't you? " Harry asked with a puzzled expression. "Your father and I had our own adventure's, why can't you then?"

Harry's words brought a gleam of hope in Daniel's eyes and he grinned happly. "Thank you uncle Harry. I will atlease join my friends in their journey back home. And I hope, like your journey here, your way back home will be through the Misty Mountains...?"

Harry seriously noded his head, "Of course we will travell through the same way and once my disciples starts their journey I will come back to the capital and spend some time with my brother." Harry smiled slyly.

"It's a deal then. Guys I am coming with you and Uncle Harry to your Home and meet all of your family member and then will be back with him to the capital. I am going to talk to father about it today itself. Bella are you coming?" Daniel asked exitedly.

"Bella nodded her head vigorously. Why ask about it when you know my answer. Lets go and speak to father and mother immediately." After saying that, both of them dashed towards the castle as if a groupe of assassin's were behind them.

The others laughed and started to walk towards their Quarters. After so much time together. The two pairs of love birds were certain of becoming couples in a few years. Both Irene and Dave, Lilly and Rodrick were walking side by side holding their hands.

After knowing Dave's secret a couple of year's ago. Irene had a long discussion with Dave and even with others. She had made her decision that day and was very clear about it. If she is going to marry someone, it would be Dave. If not, she would dedicate her life for healing.

That day, Infront of everyone Dave finally accepted Irene as his women.

An year later, to no one's surprise, both Rodrick and Lilly informed everyone about their plan of starting life together within a couple of years after reaching their home.
