Chapter 71 - 71-Home
As the Sun fell to the Horizon, Its Bright Sunlight dimmed, and Nightfall started. The Orange Skies slowly turned Dark as the Bright Twinkling Stars revealed themselves. In a Mountain Summit was a Beautiful Young Girl gazing at the Horizon with her Golden Amber Eyes. Her White Silver Hair fluttered through the air as the Breeze of Wind that passed through her carried it. The Cold and Warm within the Mountain Summit was a Relaxing Feeling for the Young Girl. It was a Peaceful Place full of Silence.
"I should go back..." The Young Girl turned her head and looked at the Inquisition Settlement from Afar. The Storms had already discovered her Existence. They would probably be trying to find her. With this in mind, The Young Girl concluded that they would have at least enough time for the Inquisition to complete their training. She smiled while looking at the Inquisition Settlement as she faded upon the Mountain Summit.
Within the Inquisition Settlement, The Young Girl appeared and found no one. She raised an eyebrow and was about to activate her World Eye and other Sensing Abilities. Before Persia could activate her Sensing Abilities, Numerous Figures appeared around her. She looked at them with caution as a Light illuminated, and the Figures around her shouted.
"SUPRISE!!!" The Figures shouted the same word as the Light revealed their faces. The Figures were the Crescents, and at the Center of all the Crescents was Ego. Ego looked at Persia, who stood in shock. It was unexpected for Persia. Everything that happened was like an Unknown Variable Persia didn't understand. Ego then spoke with her Monotone Voice. "Happy Birthday, Sister."
"Eh?!" Persia didn't know what to say as she looked around the Inquisition Settlement. All of the Crescents were smiling towards her while looking at her surprised face. They managed to get through her Sensing Abilities. Such an achievement was something Persia was willing to reward. From Ego's words, It was supposed to be Persia's Birthday.
'Birthday?' Persia thought to herself as she began thinking about it. When did she ever have a Day of Birth? What day was it? She had many questions within her mind as this event was something unexpected to her. Ego, looking at Persia's confused face, stood forward and spoke with her monotone voice. "It is your First Birthday, Sister."
Ego's words echoed within Persia's mind as she thought about it. How much time has she stayed within her new body? Now that she thought about it. Did she forget something important? Why was her name Persia? Persia's mind was overflowing with questions, but she had no answers to her questions. It was frustrating for Persia, but as she looked around her. She shook her head and smiled.
The Crescents around her were smiling while holding some balloons. Persia looked at the Crescents around her and spoke two simple words. "Thank you..." Such simple words made the Crescents reply at the same time. "Your Welcome, Master." Her First Birthday Party as a Serpent began. The Crescents scattered and started the Party as Persia walked towards Ego.
"Thank you, Ego..." Ego was someone that was with Persia since the start of her Adventure. Ego was the one who was always with her and talked to her when she was alone. Persia's Gratitude for having Ego with her was immense. Ego, hearing Persia's words, shook her head and spoke with a caring voice. "No need for the Gratitude, Sister. I am happy to exist with you."
Persia's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ego, who had the same Neutral Expression. That Voice came from the Girl who had a Robotic Expression. Such a Phenomenon was always something that would surprise Persia. Persia then looked at the Crescents who were around a Bonfire and turned her head towards Ego. "Let's enter the Party, Shall we?"
The Two of them then entered the First Birthday Part of Persia. Food was Everywhere, and Lights from the Magic that Ego created shone during the Night. Some Crescents were having fun, and the noisiest one was Marx, who sang like a Drunkard despite not being Drunk. Persia was not bothered by the noise as it made the Party lively.
She looked at Crescents, who were having fun, and smiled at her current life. The Hardships she went through to reach this stage echoed within her mind, being a small snake in a Forest and being alone in a Simple World. The Prologue of her Journey was finally complete. It was finally time for her to strive for the Peak of Existence.
The Party continued during the Night as the Pale Moon shone its Moonlight towards the Inquisition Settlement. The Master and Servant relationship between the Crescents and Persia or Ego slowly broke during the Night. This Night was the First Event after the Creation of the Inquisition. The Night was the First Birthday of their Master.
As time passed by within the Inquisition Settlement, It was currently early in the morning. Most Crescents went back to their Houses while some of the Crescents slept around the Bonfire. In the Roof of the Persia's Cabin were Two Figures looking at the Night skies. One was a Beautiful Young Girl with White Silver Hair, while the other was a Beautiful Young Girl with Dark Ashened Hair.
"That was a lively one. It also made the Crescents close to us." Persia spoke with a calm and soothing voice while looking at the Night skies. Ego, who was right beside Persia, nodded in agreement as the Walls between the Crescents and the two of them were breaking down.
"Ego... I always thought that this adventure would only have the Two of us exploring the World and reaching the Peak of it. But it seems that I was wrong." Persia said as she looked at the Inquisition Settlement around her Cabin. The Two of them weren't alone in the Realm of Piksyon. They had the Crescents behind them and following their path.
"Maybe this is what they call, Home." Ego said with her monotone voice as Persia smiled and softly chuckled. "Well, I guess you're correct," Persia replied as the two of them looked at the Night skies, who slowly lightened up. The Golden Bright Sun slowly rose from the Horizon as its Bright Sunlight illuminated the Realm of Piksyon.. Another Day started, and Persia's Journey continued.
