Even if she didn't have her wings, no one would doubt her angelic origin.
The grass growing around the lake covered her nosebleed-inducing birthday suit. Even if people are standing in the only access path, the tall grass would still provide enough cover for the girls to shower without worries.
Luna stepped further into the lake, she created ripples that reached the center of the lake.
The lake isn't particularly deep. The deepest area of the lake only reached Luna's' shoulder. Since Luna's wings absorbed water, she would sink if the depth of the lake is taller than her.
She rubbed her shoulder, collarbone, and her bountiful mountains. Luna continued washing herself down. It seemed like she was taking a bath seriously.
However, her eyes were not focused.
As for why she's not focused, that's because she's longing for someone and it was not hard to guess the identity of this person as they can only be one individual capable of putting Luna in this state.
Luna was usually very attentive, if she was out of it for any reason, then she was probably missing her fiancee.
Although Alex and Incursio had been in that named dungeon for more than two months, this time apart felt forever to Luna.
Even a second away from her made her miss him.
Thinking about a certain someone, Luna continued dowsing herself with water. She mumbled Lex while guessing when Alex might come back.
'This longing has become a road I can walk forever, but to see you would be such sweet relief.'
'There are times the longing to see you overwhelms and I feel angry. Anger masks sadness, so that makes sense. There is only so much sadness of separation we can take, right? Well, that's how I feel.'
Luna became lost in thoughts thinking about the past, her first encounter with the man that would soon occupy all her thoughts and she would come to love more than anything.
''Because your love is so whole, my missing pieces appear. Because your touch carries such passion, what was scarred becomes soft once more. Because you are steady and patient, my open wounds have time to seal and varnish. Perhaps that is why they say love is such magic, this gift from the universe, this sweet addiction to the man I was born to find. For with my twin soul, the only other born in the same flame as I, we are able to bathe one other in warmth and light as easily as we breathe, immune and oblivious to darkness.'' Luna mumbled as if she was in trance.ραпdα `n?ν?| сom
pαndα`noν?1~сoМ ''Lex, I love you like you're the last of my kind. It is as if you speak the same language as I, yet no other is able. To be around you is like finally not being alone - as if all my life I've been isolated, in a windowless room, in a doorless room... and then suddenly you walk in as if strolling over a summer meadow. How is it that you are so much more than sunshine? How is it you breathe life when no other can? Why is it you are my medicine? Who could love me more than you? So, my love, know this - while I breathe I am yours in mind, body, and soul.''
Suddenly, a series of light footsteps could be heard on the only path leading to the lake.
The guy was light on her feet. A normal person wouldn't hear this until the guest was three meters away. However, Luna picked up the footsteps while the guest is still more than 20 meters away.
She came back to reality and she looked at the entrance with her scanner ready. She raised her guard.
Luna raised her guard and her wings started flapping. If the guest isn't a female or someone she knows, she was going to leave at the fastest speed she can muster.
However, her plans turned into a puff of smoke when the owner of the footsteps showed herself.
It was her sworn sister Maria, the latter was dressed in thin clothes showing she had come here to take a bath and cool down like Luna was doing.
''Welcome Maria, I was thinking about Alex, our man.'' Luna declared without feeling any shame, there was no need for that between sisters and Maria understood it.
She slowly sank her beautiful porcelain white skin into the water, if Luna was an angel then Maria was like a cold empress, an existence mere mortals couldn't hope to lay their eyes on. She is simply breathtaking, an otherworldly beauty, an ice beauty, no ice goddess is a more fitting term to describe her.
Maria inhaled after sinking her body into the clear lake.
''I never thought that one day I will come to love one man as I do, he is a special one.'' Maria declared while thinking about a certain young man who completely managed to conquer her heart, so much so that she couldn't live without him anymore.
In the beginning, it was not serious, only an interest in the young man reborn as someone with a sealed gift, someone she was trying to use to get rid of potential suitors in this life but everything changed and before she knew it, she has come to love the man wholeheartedly and her love keep growing.
Suddenly, after a moment of silence, Maria opened her mouth and declared.
"I think therefore I am" is such intelligence in so few words, yet in this advanced age we have changed it. Now we use "I love therefore I am." We can augment reality to the degree that anything you see, hear, do, feel, and think can be manipulated. The only true thing left is love, the only thing within ourselves we can trust to be real. Love is the true meaning of existence, one can't be complete if love isn't involved, I'm glad I have found my missing piece, the one that makes me complete and taught me the meaning of love. For him, I'll do anything like he will do anything for me. I miss you Alexander Kael Touch, my soulmate, please come back quickly.''
