Ilios (2)

Felix and Minho

took out the grill and prepared the charcoals. Bokkie the compass who

understands that his master is busy just watches from another side. The

prepared beef and seafood ingredients are neatly lined up on the table, ready

to be grilled. Louis and Jeongin wash and cut the fruit that Sky brought from

Nereida. Watermelons, oranges and melons give off a sweet aroma when peeled and

laid out on a plate. Sam and Sky made sure no soda bottles were broken or

damaged during the flight.

“Oii Chris, did you

bring ice?” asked Sam, busy with soda bottles in his right and left hands.

"Bring... ice?

What’sfor?"

Chris, whose hair was still wet with seawater, asked again.

"... you

didn't bring ice?? These sodas are tasteless if they aren't cold..” With a

disappointed expression, he stared at the bottles in front of him.

"oohh... ice

for the soda.. why

do I have to bring it??" Chris twisted his wrists. A large chunk of ice

just appeared.

"AHAHAHAHAHA.....

OH MY GOD.. SORRY CHRIS I FORGOT.." Sam laughed weakly at Chris who easily

spawned ice with his magic.

"If you want

me to chill the bottles, I can do that, here .."

"..... if

Chris could do that, then Jeongin ..." stunned to see Chris, Felix also

glanced at Jeongin.

"You need

fire?” Jeongin put down his knife and walked over to Felix who was standing in

front of the grill. Preparations now complete.

The afternoon

breeze gently blew the curtains in the cottage. The coconut leaves also waved

because of it. Seagulls can be seen playing with the waves. There are only

oceans and blue skies as far as the eye can see.

"Ah.. the sun

is setting.." Sky immediately pointed to the beach. The orange color

gradient with indigo fills the sky beautifully. The sun slowly bids farewell to

the day. Drowning as if hidden by the ocean. The color of the sky that was

previously orange has changed to a blackish indigo decorated with millions of

stars. The cottage was located a bit far from the city. Makes the stars up to

the Milky Way clearly visible in the sky.

"so? the place

I chose really nice huh? the sky is clear, there are no clouds .." Peter

said as he looked up at the sky. As the most important man in Chaldene he must

have had plenty of money to build some of his own recreation areas. Among the

number of cottages or villas he owns, he chooses one which is located on

Kokkino beach because the beach is rarely visited by people. In addition to the

calm atmosphere, the beauty of Kokkino beach also seems to be a hidden treasure

that few people know about.

"I usually don't like flying but.. seeing this much

of stars.. it makes me want to just go to space.." Minho spread his arms.

His ears were folded down enjoying the atmosphere of the bright star-studded

night.

"You wanna

to?? Come here..” Chris moved away from the cottage and changed his form. He

then bit Minho's collar and moved his friend onto his back.

"Uh huh

Chris?? Wait a minute.. eeyy..." without a word, Chris got up and flapped

his wings flying high into the sky. They fly across the sea.

“... ahahahahahaha... awesome~~~~” Minho also enjoyed the flight. The sea breezes

were stronger as they aired. The expanse of stars in the sky looks clearer as

if it can be reached by hand.

"..... higher

Chris.. higher.." Minho asked while continuing to look up at the sky.

"Are you sure?

Okay...." Chris once again flapped his wings vigorously. Wuusshhhh right

away they rose much higher than before. In the far west, the tiny floating

continent of Asteria can be seen. The night sky seemed empty as if there were

only the two of them filling the world.

"Why you guys

don't invite me..." from behind came the voice of someone, the fairy king,

Sky.

"Oh? I haven't

heard your voice since earlier.. how did you find us??” asked Minho who tightly

gripped the white fur on Dragon Chris' back.

"Oh come on..

it's not hard to find a dragon in the middle of this clear night sky.. look at

the moon. As the holder of the moon's grace, of course the atmosphere tonight

inspires me to fly…” Sky flew around Dragon Chris. He stretched out his arms

and closed his eyes. Somehow his wings at that time really glistened. His

flapping sound was quieter than usual which made Minho's sensitive ears barely

hear his arrival. His magic was full because every inch of his body was touched

by the moonlight. His brown hair swayed in the wind. The half-sleeved shirt and

ribbon tie he wore seemed to make his figure look even more radiant. It seems

the moon does love the one and only blue-winged pixies.

Feels satisfied

exploring the night sky, the three of them returned to the cottage.

"Where were

you've been guys.. come here and play .." asked Louis who was holding game

cards in his hand. In front of him are Jeongin and Peter who are sour-faced

because they almost lost the game. Felix and Sam were in front of the grill

while occasionally Felix let Bokkie taste his cooking. Pieces of grilled meat

along with sausages, mushrooms, bell peppers and tomatoes. The aroma of shrimp,

squid, oysters and scallops grilled next to it is no less tempting.

"You guys need

help?" Chris, who was in his original form, approached Felix and Sam and

offered any help they might need.

"Ah no.. we're

about to finish, do you want to try a bite?" Felix in return offered Chris

a small piece of cooked meat. Chris happily devoured it.

"Emm... wow..

delicious.. you're pretty good 'Lix" said Chris which then Felix replied

with a sweet smile.

“chun.. chun...”

Bokkie seemed to understand Chris was praising his master.

"Haha.. yes

Bokkie.. Felix is pretty good huh..." Chris then pet the head of the

life compass.

The night wind

howled loudly. The sea water also looks closer than before because of the high

tide. The crabs on the beach sand one by one appeared. The boisterous voices of

those who were joking together dominated the place. Little by little the dishes

they prepare are shrinking. Peter, Louis, Jeongin and Felix are immersed in the

game. Sam and Chris just watched them while occasionally laughing along. Sky

hummed in his beautiful voice, playing with Magia until his bright magic

circles kept appearing one after another. The blue circles that attracted the

attention of the Broken Compass to join in admiring it. Seeing his magic have

an audience, Sky's soft hand stroked Bokkie's golden feathers while Minho

pensively stared at the night sky... admiring the vastness of the universe.

Night's getting late. It was almost midnight when the comet Ilios was rumored

to be passing.

"Ah, that's

it..!!!" Minho pointed at a celestial thing that passed between the sea of

stars. Yes, that's the comet Ilios they've been waiting for since the

beginning.

"Whoooaaa

..... this is the first time I've seen it .." said Peter. Since childhood

he was always excited when his parents told him about a comet that passed the

night after he was born. One of the things that also made him want to become a

wizard who lived long enough to be able to see the tailed celestial thing that

passed only once every 83 years.

The view is even

more beautiful when the number of meteors that slide back and forth behind

comet Ilios. Meteor showers that come from comet materials that burn in the

atmosphere alternately appear and disappear. The twinkling spoils the eyes of

those who see it.

"I've seen

many meteors or comets from Asteria which even look much brighter than this..

but this time.. feels more special because I saw it with you guys..." Sam

embraced Jeongin and Louis. As an only child, he often felt lonely in the

palace because he had no friends to share with. But everything changes when he

meets seven other clan Kings who are now his soulmates.

"..

unfortunately the Aurora tonight is not as bright as usual .." Peter said

again. At the end of the year, usually the Aurora is clearly visible in the

southern sky of Chaldene. But that night the heavenly curtain did not seem to

appear.

"Wanna see

Aurora too? Wish granted .." Chris just stood up and ran towards the

beach. His friends were confused, what's he going to do?

“Aurora Borealis……”

Chris stretched and opened his palms, shooting magic into the sky.. Silver

colored magic sparks flew high into the clouds and.. bwwoosshhh... the

purple-green sky curtain stretched out beautifully.

“...whooaaaa....”

SKZ was amazed that Chris was also able to release magic in the form of light

and color.

"This aurora

won't last long... but it's nice, right?" after chanting the magic he

returned to sit among his friends. He was glad that his Northern magic had once

again pleased them. The seaside, the milky way, the sprinkling of stars, the

comet's tail, the meteor shower, and the Aurora... no one knows how to describe

the scene of that night in words.

".. if you

also wanna to see fireworks, just tell me okay?" Jeongin said, joking.

".. if you

want it to rain right now, just say so.." Minho replied.

" .... what

ever"
