Chapter 1054: Her reward
"Time is crucial and we shouldn\'t play around with it, but regardless, I don\'t have the strength to do what you want." Raine took Hope\'s hand. "Those who leave, do have a reason why they should go and we shouldn\'t dwell on the past."
Raine then pulled Hope into her arms, lending the guardian angel her shoulder to cry her heart out.
They were of the same age, but Raine was much more understanding and calmer than Hope, because of all the life experiences she had gone through.
"Hope, we still have things to do and we have to prepare ourselves for that," Raine said softly into Hope\'s ear, reminding her of their ultimate goal for being revived.
==============
Preparations for the funeral have been done quite well, given the limited time they got and how tired they are after what they went through.
Now, under the luster of the almost sinking sun, they could see how many victims had lost their lives during the war.
And this was only a fraction of the total people who have lost their lives in this war.
Hope and Kace stood beside Serefina\'s body which would not move again, the two of them lit fire to the witch\'s last bed, a wooden bed made by Lilac, along with thousands of other creatures who left this world.
Meanwhile, Raine, Torak, Sterling and Ethan were standing beside Rossie\'s body, which looked pale yet pretty.
They just regretted that Calleb couldn\'t see the procession, couldn\'t see his mate for one last time before she turned to ashes and blown away by the wind.
As for Lilac and Jedrek, they stood side by side to lead the funeral procession.
They offered a silent prayer of condolences to those who sacrificed their lives, while they got be grateful for those who are still alive to keep on fighting.
Some magicians then threw fireballs into the air, as a sign that they could start the burning procession.
And in an instant, the air was filled with sorrowful and billowing smoke, under the orange glow of the setting sun.
They all fell silent, saying nothing while drowning in deep sorrow for what they witnessed before their eyes.
The eleven surviving faes sang a song in soft humming voices to accompany the departure of the souls who had left this world.
Their voices were so serene under the dim sky.
Raine took Torak\'s hand and looked at him gently, so did the Alpha.
They have lost a lot, things and people, and what they witnessed before their eyes was only a small part of the facts that confirmed this again.
==============
Someone was sitting in front of a garden decorated with purple flowers, on the terrace of a house that was rickety, as if it had been uninhabited for a very long time.
In fact, no one has lived in the house for a long time, because the small family that used to live in it, was no longer here.
The woman who was sitting and enjoying the view before her with a peaceful expression, let her red hair flutter in the wind, her hair was so long, as if she hadn\'t cut it for quite a while.
The woman\'s lime green eyes were fixed on the movement of the purple flowers in the lush garden in front of her, which swayed in the wind rhythmically.
She was waiting for someone to come, but there didn\'t seem to be any sign of that someone else coming any soon.
She waited and waited...
It was uncertain how long she had been waiting, because in this place, no one could tell how many seconds or minutes had passed.
The sun in the blue sky, was not too hot, so one could say, it was already late in the afternoon, but there was still no sign that it was getting dark any soon.
The woman just continued waiting…
But, there was no expression of impatience on her face, as if the red-haired woman could wait alone forever.
"You are really patient this time."
The soft voice like the gentle notes of a piano was heard from the left side of Serefina, which was an empty place just a second ago.
"I have nothing to do anymore and have no other desire," Serefina replied to Selene\'s statement.
She then turned her head to find the goddess of the moon, smiling at her with sparkling eyes.
And as usual, the goddess of the moon looked stunning in her white attire and crown that shone brightly, emitting a faint moonlight perched sweetly above her head.
"I never thought that you could say something so dramatic." Selene leaned against the rickety wall of the house and stared at the sky, which when Serefina returned her gaze to it, had turned dark and the moon was already shining.
However, this sudden change could not surprise her in the least bit, as there were things far more absurd than this that Serefina had been through.
"I did a very good job." Serefina still remained straight to the point and immediately raised the first thing she wanted to get from the moon goddess. "Can I get my reward now?"
"Yes, you did a good job," Selene said, approving her statement. "But, you shouldn\'t have separated the guardian angels from their mates."
Serefina glanced at Selene, but didn\'t say anything.
"Raine doesn\'t have to move out of town to \'heal\' herself and you don\'t have to restrict Kace to see Hope only once a year." Selene then said all the things Serefina shouldn\'t have done.
"What to do? I can\'t help it," Serefina said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders and this only made Selene laugh softly.
"Do you feel much at peace now?"
"Hm," Serefina muttered. Staring at the garden that was overgrown with purple flowers in front of her. "Can I have it now?"
