Chapter 358: Find out yourself, Alora
Alora sat gently swaying on a wooden swing, her soft humming blending with the serene atmosphere of the garden. The air was sweet with the scent of new blossoms, their petals freshly opened to greet the sun.
Around her, birds began to chirp, their melodic voices weaving into the song she hummed, as if they were all part of the same quiet symphony. Alora’s gaze drifted to the sky, her lips curving into a bright, contented smile.
As she continued to hum, Alison approached, gently bringing the swing to a stop. Alora lifted her head, her smile growing even brighter at the sight of her. The peace of the moment settled deep within her, a calmness she hadn’t known she was searching for.
"I never thought I could be happy one day and also at so much peace," Alora murmured, her eyes returning to the birds singing above.
After a while, Alora’s gaze drifted down to the white stone bracelets encircling her wrist. The cool, smooth stones seemed to pulse with a faint energy, reminding her of the last time she had dared to summon the Lunar God.
His warning still echoed in her mind, a caution against calling on him lightly. Yet, her thoughts involuntarily wandered back to him, as they often did.
"Yet, you have again thought of me, Alora," came Raphael’s deep, familiar voice, startling her from her reverie.
She promptly lifted her head, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight of him. The impulse to rush toward him in excitement was strong, but she managed to maintain her composure, though a smile tugged at her lips.
"Then, that’s the fault of the Lunar God," Alora replied mischievously, her tone light as she tried to mask the joy she felt at his unexpected appearance.
