[Cosmic Chronicle]: Valentine’s Day Special - The Story After

On a certain planet.

Far, far away from our Milky Way.

Its civilization is not so different from ours.

'Amoran'

Amorian, the inhabitant of this unreal planet, are also beings with high intelligence. Just like us.

Their bodies that mock- No. The body that inherited from the Creator, is exactly the same as humanity.

The organ called 'Brain' also contains highly intelligence, no less than any beings in the universe.

The Amorians have slightly larger body portion compare to human's, and a light-purple skin tone similar to the Lavender.

That day on Amoran, was just a simply normal day.

Yet

On this day at Earth, they celebrate "The Day of Saint Valentine", whom was signified as the symbol of love.

…..

"I'll be right back." The sound of little girl could be heard.

Her voice manifested confidence, determination, and solemnity.

"Are you really gonna let me be alone in this time?"

A resentful sound came from the being whom was colossal in size.

Her voice was elegant but at the same time, strong.

"Come now…. I won't take long..."

"….I recall Ozwald's mom is also alone right now…. Would you stay with her, please?"

The girl chuckled while looking at the huge being with eyes full of cherishing before asking her.

"….. the kids might have gone to celebrate, huh…."

The colossal being also chuckled slightly.

She knew well that her love might have crucial reasons to go, so she laughed to show that she really was not resentful.

"You…..You bringing her with you too?"

Before the girl could use her hand to open a galaxy traversing worm hole, the colossal being noticed the pitch-black necklace being worn on her neck.

The pitch-black necklace had a socket…. It was a locket. There was a crimson gemstone slumbering at the center of the locket.

"….uhm…. I want to lighten the gloom."

"I will be back, Mae'Xheeiaa*, my love"

(*May-Free-Aya)

The girl looked down and caressed the gem for a moment then she turned to the colossal being and said endearingly.

"You say it right this time…..haha"

The goddess Mae'Xheeiaa giggled slightly then see her love off inside the wormhole that being revealed like pulling curtains by the girl.

….

"Good weather, right?... sweeties…."

When the girl trespassed into the land of Amoran, she inhaled deeply then brought up the necklace and said adoringly.

"Ah-aa-a-aa-aa"

Suddenly, a voice rang from behind the girl.

It was an elder Amorian man on a bench.

He was throwing seeds for birds before the girl appeared.

"Oh? This is a park? I thought it was a swamp in some forest"

The girl muttered to herself after checking out the surrounding area in the morning time on Amoran.

"You fell asleep."

Only brief seconds went on, the girl pointed at the elder man making him falling asleep on the bench immediately.

"Good thing it's still in the morning... not much people.."

"Let's see…. the first one was…."

"That special psychiatry girl, right…"

The girl said to herself as she placed her left finger on her forehead with a frown.

Countless voices and noises in Amoran flooded into her mind.

A singing sound of animals.

Distant waves and winds from where she was standing.

A cry from an Amorian infant.

Gleeful cheers of children playing together because that day was the day off.

And….

Wail…Scream…of pain, by the normal in everyday-crimes.

Amoran housed a certain beautiful flower.

A flower that when got boiled or extracted, the chemicals inside would intoxicate Amorian.

Despite its pretty appearance and natural fragrant smell, it was banned throughout Amoran from possessing.

The chemicals were too deadly.

A single flower could severely hallucinate leading to crimes and unnecessarily brutal murders.

Thus, the Amorian had established the "Special psychiatric organization".

Aside from being responsible for mental health of their patients, the organization also had legal authorities to arrest or to punish the addict.

…

"Boss! … Today is day off, why are we training here….."

Panting sounds from a man came into the girl's mind.

"Shut! The special psych. officers must always be ready, both mentally and physically!"

"What were our oaths!?"

A voice of woman followed, strongly and solemnly.

"Help to the death! True to the Truth! And fight despite pitch-black sky!"

In the next second, voices of men and women shouted in unison.

"Found you!"

The girl exclaimed then raised her hand up to open the wormhole once again.

"Ah! I can't….."

"Invisible then."

However, before the wormhole could be created, the girl stopped in sudden.

If she did that, despite the convenience, people might be shocked and it'd be difficult to explain.

She then decided to fly up and made herself invisible.

...

"Oi! Ten more reps before rest! Do!"

The sound of chief officer rang out once again causing the subordinates to run around the field before their building.

"Hmmmmm… It's only been a yea- … um… short moment and you have become fiercer, huh?"

The girl's voice came from behind the chief.

"… !!!! Your greatness, God of death!!!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

When the lady chief turned back to face the owner of the sounds, she saw a little girl in black just like last time.

She remembered the god of death when she was undercover in the suicidal group.

She shouted loudly but the girl immediately put her finger to her lips and shushed as the chief's voice decreased to silence like someone had pressed the lower volume button.

Her subordinates caught her tiny sound and stopped training with their curious face.

"What are you looking at?! Get back!"

"Ten reps and rest! I have something to do with this girl. I won't take long!"

The girl saw her subs looked to their way and pointed her finger back to tell the chief that they were being watched.

The chief turned back and shouted loudly causing her subs to shudder and continued their trainings.

After that, she led the little girl into the building.

…

"yaaah… I can't even believe it… to be able to meet God of death again…"

"….yeah… this is the same day as the last time…"

The two arrived at the office in less than 5 minutes.

The chief let the girl sit on her desk while casually reminiscing.

"I told you, I'm not God of death…."

"But this one, may be…."

The girl refused with plain face while her eyelids closed halfway.

She then caressed the gem on her necklace while thinking quietly.

"What about you… It's only been a short period, now look at you. Miss chief! Aren't you pretty good at your job."

The girl praised her with faint smile.

"No, not really, ma'am…. I'm just lucky catching the big bad guy and got promoted to here…."

The chief lady said with a slight shyness as she tried to avoid eye contact.

"Ba-by the way- What brought your holiness here?!?!?"

Next few seconds, the lady took off her fierce attitude and asked cheerfully.

"Damn…. I really have to delete this bragging behaviour of mine…."

 The god thought in their mind after hearing the word 'holiness'.

Although it's a truth, but he had never wanted to reveal his true identity that much…. in this current state.

"I am not actually God or something …. You don't need to address me like tha-"

Before the God could finish his sentence, he noticed a small and thick book on the shelf behind the chief.

In the middle of that book read 'Best Dad of The Universe'

Pa!

The God smacked his hand on his small forehead once as his eyes widened.

"Ah-….. oh. It's not a religious book, ma'am. This is just a novel by miss Beiata."

The chief saw the God looked pass her to the book and quickly explained.

"Ha..."

..

"Beiata? Who?"

(Bi-ei-ta)

The God took a long sigh once.

At that moment, the black necklace on his neck shook slightly making a smile appeared on the God's face.

The God then asked the chief casually.

"Miss Beiata was the one your highness and I rescued last time, ma'am"

The lady stood up from the seat then brought the book to the God.

"So it was the heartbroken missy…"

The God received the book then quickly skimmed through it with his finger.

"I came for that boy….. is he alright now?"

Not even half a minute passed, the God finished the book despite it contained almost 200 pages.

"Mr.Fiyto?....." (Fae-to)

At first, the lady was shocked that the God finished the whole book in few seconds, but after hearing the God's purpose, her face changed in a second.

It was full of sadness and sympathy.

She clenches her lips together as if she felt hopeless.

"Is he…. unable to quit…?"

The God saw the chief's face and asked with low voice.

"Sometimes he could, sometimes he couldn't…. but…."

The lady shook her head slowly and answered reluctantly.

..

The God didn't say anything. He was quietly waiting for her to speak by herself.

However, after almost 5 minutes time of the Earth had passed, the God changed his gaze unto the landscape outside the window.

"H-he…. won't make it pass this evening…."

The chief said with some stutter because she was trying to hold her tears.

However, the God did not respond anything.

The lady chief had a dream.

A noble dream.

Since she was a child, she had always seen the world of Amoran as being polluted.

Polluted by that flower.

She made a vow to cleanse that poison from this planet.

Although the special psych. officers were not so different from therapists, who would lead the mental-ill patient back to society, the other half of the duty was also not different from police in which one must be strong and fierce in order to suppress the patients that turned to criminals.

A gentle little girl, who wished to make this world better, had to grow up into strong woman for the sake of her duties…

That day when she got motivations from the God.

Despite some simple words, it moved her heart and broadened her eyes for this world.

Until she had become the chief officer here, solely by her own, not by luck.

But…

Whoever had faced with despair and death….. none could no longer wear their masks….

"…..ZeFeen…. All things have their ends….. don't cry anymore…."

The God said her name while still looking at the view outside.

Her name was on the plate on her desk…

But… this is the first time that she, someone aside from her father, calling her name, genuinely felt loved.

"But…sob … Doctor Fiyto spent his entire life…. In the end… it's going in vain…"

"sob…. They also branded him with "The addict" too... I can't accept that…."

Eventually, Zefeen couldn't hold her tears any longer.

She cried as she mourned Fiyto.

"….I'll take this book…."

The God said casually before waved his hand in thin air, and the wormhole was opened.

The other side of the hole was a brightly white room.

Zefeen was shocked from the unexpected words from the God that she forgot to cry.

"But….that one is limited….."

She could only say those words as she witnessing the God disappeared.

...

"Give me! Give meee!!! Ah…..I'm dying! At least let me have it before I die!!"

Fiyto's voice echoed loudly in a small room.

He was fiercely squirming around on his bed.

Both his arms got restrained with thick cloth wrapping around his body tightly.

His legs were also sealed to the bed.

There was a respirator on his face, yet his breathings were forceful just like his emotions.

His pulse could be seen with the lifeline on the machine beside his bed.

The line was in a very steep mountain shape…

"sigh…..he's gonna die soon yet still want it….so this is the end of the genius doc, huh…"

A nurse said not far from Fiyto's bed.

Her voice despite not having any mocking intent, the sympathy could not be felt whatsoever.

"Well, he was crazy to try it…. Getting to die here in the last moment of life is lucky enough. If it wasn't that lady officer, he'd have died in that rat hole…. Let's go."

Another nurse said. They both looked at the genius with hollowed eyes.

Although they weren't serious about the mocking or ill-intents, but their words and thoughts weren't something that should be spat out of their mouths.

The two then left the room.

"You….. I didn't know you were a physician…"

The God whom had been invisibly watching everything since the beginning, revealed himself and walked to Fiyto.

At first, there were no one besides him but after the hole closed, the nurses came in, so the God had to hide himself.

"You…that damn kid…"

When Fiyto turned his face to the owner of the voice beside the bed, he immediately remembered the face of the little girl he met last time.

"Ain't that a bit rude….."

"Despite your brains being destroyed this much…. you still remember me…."

The God said with eyes full of sorrow for Fiyto.

At that moment, tear flowed down from his eyes unknowingly.

"*uck you want?!?! Get out!!! Not your business!!"

Fiyto shouted before the tear dried out on his cheek.

"No, I won't. It's my business too."

The God refused with plain face, but his eyes shook slightly.

"Give me the meth!!! Where is it!?!? Flower good too…!!!"

"Argh… Get out!!.. Don't *uck with me…"

Fiyto shouted with his sinful words as his tears ran down once again.

"The mouth says sin yet your body still says truth…."

The God sat down on thin air as if there was a chair before slowly putting his hand on Fiyto's forehead.

In the next moment, a faint light shone around his body.

"I asked you to get out….or else I will hurt you…."

"Please…."

Fiyto spoke with polite words unlike before.

"I paused the toxin for now…. Thou need not fear…."

The God said while his hand was still on Fiyto's head and looked at him with sympathy.

"I….I don't want to die….. I still haven't found the antidote yet….!!"

"Please!!! If you could prolong my life for a bit, please do!!!"

"I don't wanna die…."

Realizing that the side effects of the chemical subsided, Fiyto brimmed with fear of death.

The death that was making his life worthless.

When he regained his life goal and his long-life dream, Fiyto cried as he begging the God to spare him some time.

The God could only shake his head slowly.

In that moment, the crimson gemstone on his neck shone brightly.

"No….I beg you…. Be God or Devil…. I begged you some time to find the antidote of that flower…."

"That flower is definitely not wrong!!!! It's just a gorgeous flower!!! There must be something that make it addictive!!"

"Please!!! Just a bit more…. I could almost grasp the answer!!"

As Fiyto begged for his life and tears flowed down, his breathings became faster; he panted as his words came out of his mouth strangely quicker than usual.

He did not know that his death would draw close sooner because of his excitement.

The God saw his breathings and could only feel bitter in his heart.

If he hadn't paused the poison, Fiyto's death wouldn't crawl in faster like this.

But he needed to, in order to talk to him in his last moment.

"I….can't do that…. because the answer you seek, is already in here…"

The God used his other hand to make a small book floated before Fiyto's eyes for him to read it.

"….."

He read it eagerly.

"Even though you lost your mind from the effects, but your fighting heart has already found the antidote…."

The God said slowly.

Said those lying words slowly.

"So it is that….. the addictive toxin of that flower…. the sap of that plant…. came from the underground water that got polluted by a toxic mineral in the soil…."

"haha….."

"Hahahahahahahahah"

Fiyto laughed out loud with joy.

"I knew it… the flower that pretty…. How could it be poisonous…"

After laughing for a while, Fiyto said as he looked up to the bright room's ceiling.

He was glad.

Really glad.

Fiyto had always loved that purple-blue flower since he was a child.

He had always believed that the flower wasn't really the reason of addiction.

He studied very hard, researched and tested the flower tirelessly.

Until one day…. He decided to do an experiment by extracting that flower…

A chemical that causes hallucination, addiction, mood changing to Amorian that contact with it making them drastically changed behaviour and experiencing depression.

When took it in too much or too often, the heart will start beating faster in order to remove the poison in the brain.

But how could living things remove chemical in their brains?

Yet the body and the heart still fought on.

That chemicals could be found in Amoran's soil, earth.

Although they were not plenty, but they still affected people in some areas.

Good thing that the chemical's effects softened by the wind and weather.

The Amorian could only experience a small depression and some sadness.

Fiyto who directly inhaled the chemical from the extracted flower….

Fiyto smiled as he was still looking at the ceiling.

The God could only sit quietly as he looked down to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Fiyto….."

"Hughgh ….. ha… ha…"

Suddenly, Fiyto's breathes were faster even more.

The God could only look at him for a brief moment before turning away because he couldn't manage to see him suffer from the fear.

The gemstone glowed even more.

"Your…ha..holy… My…ha…last….ha .…please..ha…ha….help… ha….me…sir..ha"

Fiyto looked at the God before begged him one last time as he breathed faster and faster.

The God clenched his lips as he closed his eyes.

He then turned and faced Fiyto before slowly opened his eyes once again.

That moment, his starry eyes shook strongly as if those planet and star-eyes of his would explode out from his eye sockets.

"…hgghhhg….."

"I'm cold....ple-…. hold my ha-… would.. you.."

Fiyto inhaled sharply one last time before asking the God to hold his hand reluctantly from the air that burst out halfway through.

"…..Do not fear….."

In that second, the God tried his best to hold his vessel's tears before putting the palm that was on Fiyto's head on his left hand.

He carefully and slowly used the other hand to bring Fiyto's hand up and clasped it with the warmth of his palms.

That moment, the brightly room was gradually dimmed unto darkness.

The thin blanket, barely gave any warmth, was covered his legs gradually grew in size and made its way to his chest, protecting him from the coldness of the room.

The last moment of Fiyto was him looking into the beautiful eyes of the God as his mouth curved up into a happy smile.

Until….

"These flowers, aside from its beauty, also smells good, sir."

Fiyto said as he was lying down in the field of purple-blue flower with his hand clasping in someone's hands.

"Yeah….. They are very beautiful…"

The God was standing not far from him and said with faint smile.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

…

The nurses came in and found that Fiyto passed away while he was holding a small book in his left hand.

From that day, Amorian had decided to make a monument of Fiyto to honor his works and heart.

The truth of addictive drugs and meths from the flower spread across the planet.

The purple-blue flower that was once condemned to be an inauspicious thing got its justice served again.

The Amorian had yet to found the best solution to deal with the soil and the flowers.

But the least they could do,

Was naming the flower "Fiyto".

A symbol of pure love, faith, determination of the genius Fiyto, and a reminder of the sins Amorian had once committed to him and the flower.

….

"Eh?! How did it get here? Your holy took it…?"

Later, Zefeen found out that her limited book was in fact, inside her desk's drawer.

…

"I am not an adorable little girl…. Your highness!?!"

Beiata found a small piece of paper resting on her table and read it.

She became so popular nowadays thanks to his teachings.

She had always wanted to meet him again if fate allowed, but she guessed she could only look at the sky outside her window.

Beiata, the famous dark horse writer, was also a role model for women who wish to change themselves and their bodies.

She had bloomed beautifully.

....

After the God returned to his paradise, he sat alone quietly on a large table while touching the gem on necklace for a long time.

Goddess Mae'Xheeiaa returned from comforting, saw her love sat alone quietly for a long time and thought that he might have something troubling in his mind.

She waited for a while before she decided to try what Ozwald's mother suggested.

"This is the time of Love for the Terran, why do you keep making that grumpy face?"

Chuuu! ♡

"Wh- what are you doing?.... Y-You returned?..."

..

"I was just…. thinking nonsenses…."

The Goddess said from afar to catch the God's attention then used her special power to get behind him on the side that he turned.

And the delicate cheek of the God's vessel met with the gorgeous lips of the Goddess.

The God was surprised with the Goddess's action. He drew his head back by instinct and said with redness in his face.

"huhu…. It really worked! …"

"You… are also really cute in this form…hihi"

The Goddess covered her mouth with her hand as she giggled because the suggestions worked.

"How outrageous…. What did that girl teach you??..."

The God couldn't make an eye contact with the Goddess, so he blamed Ozwald's mother instead.

"Haha…. at least you stopped making grumpy face…"

The Goddess laughed out once again.

"Mae'Xheeia, what you have kissed wasn't me-"

Chuuu! ♡

"Now, I'm not falling behind you ♡"

The God put his hands on hips and smiled a little before took the good chance while she was listening.

He quickly opened the wormhole the size of his head and leaned in.

When the girl's face emerged from the wormhole, her face was no longer the face of the little girl.

It was the true face of the First. He then put his lips on the Goddess's cheek passionately and quickly drew back inside the hole.

"Thou! .... You cheated…."

The Goddess suddenly received a kiss on her cheek making her exclaimed from the surprise.

She then covered her face with her hand and said in low voice.

"I did not cheat… I just wanted to do something special for you in this special time…."

The God was very happy that he grinned until his vessel's teeth were shown.

And the silence fell stragely.

The God was grinning not for long. He returned to his serious face after sometime again.

As for the Goddess, she was blushing for a while before calming down and noticed the God's face again.

"Can thou tell me…. Come….. I helped her bake…smelling delicious."

Seeing the God made a serious face once again, the Goddess couldn't hold it anymore. She asked directly as she pulled out a basket of cookies then invited him to come sit beside her on the table.

"Nothing much….. I've made you worried…."

"I just…"

The God realized that he was too serious that it concerns the Goddess. He was afraid that he might ruin this special time with her, so he quickly clarified.

He sat down beside her and opened the clothe that was covering the basket to see the snacks inside.

"I'm just worried that when I meet her again, will I be able to tell her I love her….."

The God took a heart-shape cookie in purple colour out. He had not eaten it yet because he was worried.

"…huhu…Is that so…."

"… I too….will I be able to tell her that I love her…."

After the gloomy was cleared, the Goddess chuckled before reaching her long arm for a cookie in the basket.

She put the heart-shape cookie in red before her mouth but she had yet eaten it because of the same reason.

"But I love you so much…"

The God said before biting into the purple cookie sideways.

...

"Thou…. You are saying it more often than before, won't you afraid that it'll lose its meaning? …"

The Goddess suddenly heard her love's words from his heart and turned her face away because of embarrassment.

"Lose meaning or not, I don't know. But my feeling for you, you know it better than anyone, will never change…."

"ahhhh…I miss you so much, Mae'Xheeia~ …. mmmmhmhmm"

The God put the half-left side cookie on the table before hugging the Goddess's tail tightly.

"Aren't you a bit sweety? You were the one who left me, before. Shouldn't it be I, who miss you?"

The Goddess turned back and looked at the table before bit into the red cookie sideways.

After that, she placed the half-right side cookie beside the purple cookie and scooped up the little body of the God into her arms and hugged tightly.

"haha… if the kids see us like this, they're gonna call us immature for sure... but I doooon't care~ … I love hugging thee…"

"I too… love hugging thee…"

The First chuckled briefly before complaining about their childish behaviour and hugged the Goddess tightly in which she did the same.

…

"Gilidien…. Daddy loves you too…. I will wait the time you return to us….."
