Alvah chuckled lightly, " I couldn't find the right time to tell you".
" Go back, Zillah awaits you". Alvah nodded and teleported back to Elysian. He saw Zillah seated on the chair while he was behind her.
He walked a bit further and sat on the bed away from the chair. She spun the chair around to see Alvah looking Soo exhausted.
She wondered if this was what she would have looked like when she was back or even worse. She got up from the chair when he raised up his chin to look at her and she gently placed his head on her chest.
" Take a deep breath you look Soo suffocated". She said rubbing her fingers against the back of his ears. He took in her scent then got up. Placing a soft kiss on her cheek. " I'll be right back". She smiled at him while he left to go see Cristal.
She teleported to Aeron's room. Seeing Cristal laying on her bed lazily and Aeron seemed to be reading a book which was quite unusual.
" Hey Aeron". Cristal heard her voice turning her head to look at her. Before she could move Zillah teleported to her and hugged her and she hugged her back smiling widely.
" Cristal I haven't seen that smile all day". Aeron said as if jealous because he was. They both laughed at him.
Zillah walked over to him. " Aeron I'd like to talk to you ". Aeron excused them both.
When they both disappeared, Cristal heard a knock on the door.
She rushed to open it in excitement out of boredom and she saw Alvah. " You're here?" She asked indicating he should come inside but he brushed her holding her hands and teleported somewhere seclusive.
" When do you want our training to begin?" He asked after searching around and no one was close by
" Honestly now, I'm a lot more idle these days". She said sitting on the grasses. He sat opposite her with a few inches space between them.
Alvah spoke " There are exciting ways for us to do this".
" Raise up a shield". He commanded waiting for her lift it up which she did.
A little chakra formed on his palm, he brought it closer to her shield and it shattered.
" What ?!" Her eyes widened in disbelief.
" Again" he immediately ordered and she knew things had gotten serious. Alvah had a serious look on his face, she didn't have the time to make jokes or have fun.
She tightened the shield a little more. Alvah sent the exact amount of chakra as before and her shield shattered like the last one.
She looked at him knowing she was doomed if this was the type of shield she would lift up putting Elysian in danger.
As If noticing her disappointment he encouraged her. " Don't worry, you would go for your training very soon. How long is it, a year?"
" I guess yeah maybe things would be different this time hopefully". She said with a sad voice. " What about you Alvah, when exactly are you going to convert to fully becoming a celestial?"
Alvah's heart sunk. No one had ever asked him that question before. He indeed has to convert himself before he can be a full celestial and that'll take him a year to complete it.
He smiled at her. " I guess the time will come when we'll both be gone for a year". Cristal smiled a bitter smile. He noticed this and said something to cheer her up.
" Yours is better than mine cristal. You'll be with the others, and you'll make a guild friend whom you're meant to bring back. It's a lot easier for you isn't it?".
" I wouldn't be with you, or Zillah, keva , Daivik, Aeron. Her voice cracked when she said Aeron's name. Alvah noticed it and didn't fail to hit where it hurt " when will you tell Aeron about your feelings for him?".
Cristal looked at Alvah ever confused like she had been from the start. " If we were meant to be Alvah, wouldn't we be together?" She asked him desiring to get an answer.
" You will be together, but you both have to push yourself together, love doesn't just work itself, it needs effort".
"Yes I agree" she concord with him putting her head down. " Zillah put it in a lot of effort don't just sit there and hurt yourself and your feelings".
" Two things Alvah two things". She lifted her fingers in the air to symbolize. Alvah wondered where the sudden energy in her came from.
" One, Elysian chooses who our partners would be. Two, if eventually I do something risky by telling him, what if he doesn't like me back ?".
" Accept rejection and walk away". He said and laughed. Cristal stared at him in silence. " It's a lot more easier to move on when you've confirmed that he doesn't like you".
" Let's go back to training" she said with a lazy voice before he could stab her in the front with his words. He laughed then lifted up her hands.
" Tighten up your shield much that I cannot penetrate " she nodded at him.
