Chapter 132: Aveline
I got lost in silver eyes that stared right into my soul... like it could see everything, both good, bad, lost, and forgotten and it caused chills to find my body... it wasn’t the cold air, but this man that stood before
like an entity all on his own, like the very ground was blessed to have him, his presence was too divine to be considered normal.
This man is not normal.
"Y-You" my voice barely ca out in a whisper. I was just in too much shock. It was the sa man from that night, the supposed elf. His pointy ears, and long dark amber hair, were kept straight and flawless, and not a single hair was out of place. His silver eyes glowed, like the moonlight itself. His attire was a matching silver attire, a velvet cloak, the hood of it covering the top of his hair.
Around his head was a matching silver crown, like a single thick string and curved like a leaf at the center
A smile graced his beautiful lips, one that got my legs weak and his unreal voice ca too... It was too angelic. "Hello Aveline" he mused.
Aveline?
That na... and then it struck , our last encounter.
’The tune... Ava, listen more closely and you will know what it ans’
His parting words to
before I fainted but now replaying it in my head as well as that scene, I got a clear sound of it.
’The tune... Aveline, listen more closely and you will know what it ans’
He called
Aveline... that was what he called
and not Ava.
"Aveline?" I frowned and his smile only broadened. He said nothing as he took a seat on the bench and relaxed on it. He looked to the side... a motion for
to take a seat too, I gulped slowly doing so and keeping my eyes on him, we remained like that almost like there was nothing to be said, and yet our eyes would speak.
There was so sort of understanding, I cannot explain it. I was the first to break the heavy silence.
"W-Who are you?"
"I’m guessing you know that now, the last ti you called
a..." he paused like he was thinking. "A butterfly?"
I blushed feeling the embarrassnt overco
and I leveled my gaze. "I apologize for that, You’re an elf aren’t you?"
He nods and keeps his gaze on
almost like he couldn’t look away.
"I thought your kind don’t exist anymore"
"Exist?"
"There was no record, if you exist or not"
He nods looking at the view. "Exist or not, we still remain"
I blinked, puzzled at his words.
He looked back at . "Tell , Aveline, have you found out why the tune sang to you?"
"It was from the Isle of Pathways"
Why do I feel so comfortable speaking with him? Like I could tell him all my worries without batting an eye.
"And where did the path lead?"
"A forgotten mory," I said, only not wanting to drive further.
"Is there more you wish to tell , Aveline, I’m all ears... after all, you’re the one who called
here?" he shrugged those broad shoulders of his.
I frowned. "What do you an that I called you here?"
Did I?
A hot chill flowed through
when he placed his hand on my shoulder and I froze in place, his thumb stroking my birthmark behind, and an unexplainable feeling swamped my insides. I had to close my eyes because the feeling was too pungent.
"You bear my mark Aveline, I will always co when you need "
His voice echoed directly to my ears. And I flashed my eyes open, he already pulled away and was now standing, hands behind his back as he observed the stars.
"The stars are one of my favorites," he says but mostly to himself, I rose to my feet and stood beside him.
"I once had the star in my hands" he mused facing .
"R-Really?"
"The most beautiful of them all"
I gulped. "You said this mark is yours? My birthmark?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Are you still confused, Aveline?"
"C-Confused?"
"About who you are?"
I paused looking sideways. "I don’t know who I am" I admitted, it was an answer I was yet to find and the more I think about it the more I get lost and confused.
I felt a hard on my chin lifting it so that my gaze was back to his, he leaned close to
and I held my breath.
"I will tell you who you are, for I’m your past, present and future"
I wanted to ask what he ant but his gentle grip was gone.
"Walk with
Aveline," he said, going ahead but stopping and facing
with a raised eyebrow when I didn’t move. "You do not trust " It wasn’t a question but a statent.
"I feel like I can trust you"
I don’t know why... There was sothing about him, sothing that called all my attention and it was an eccentric feeling. I felt like I had so sort of connection with him. A pull... like a thread.
"What does your body tell you?"
"My body wants answers"
He smiled. "Then you know your answer" he walked and before I knew it I took a step and followed.
"What is your na?"
"I’m hurt, Aveline, you do not know my na" he teased and I blushed once again.
"I’m sorry... I know you want
to know you but I don’t
