"Okay..."

She broke off with a deep breath.

"So you're telling me that he fell in love with human back then?"

"Pretty much. I don't know, that's what the myth says. But the rest is not mentioned... It's like...it was cut off."

Hm... that's interesting.

"And his love was never returned...And that person probably died."

"Yep, it's been thousands of years."

"I see..."

"Y/n."

She jumped up at his voice, stopping in her tracks and turning around to face him.

"Oh- hi."

"Did you get what you needed?"

"Um, almost. We've got only a couple of things left."

"Yes, some more sugar, maps and enchanted books."

"Hurry up. We have to go before it gets late."

"Yeah, okay."

Both nodded and XD teleported away, leaving them in a brief silence before Y/n huffed out a sigh.

"Let's wrap it up sooner, okay?"

"Alright then."

She flashed Jake a smile, as they made their way to the library of the village.

XD sat upon a rock, gazing at the single grave on the clearing, hidden by thick, spruce trees.

A name was carved into the stone.

Rachel Springs
(1456-1482)

That one person who was mentioned in the myth.

He still remembered her smile, her laugh, her gaze, her face.

Everything.

But she wasn't his.

Never was.

Not even after he performed tricks on her memory, not even after he tried to isolate her from the rest of the world to keep her all to himself.

Tricks led to her going insane and isolation only traumatized her further.

She desperately tried to break free from the basement he kept her in.

No avail.

She only hurt herself by doing that.

But he learnt one essential lesson from this incident.

He, now, knew learnt new methods of how to charm someone and make them fall in love with him.

Now, it would work.

It will work.

He'll make sure of that...

And of course, he heard that boy- Jake telling her the myth of the village.

Now, she was feeling sorry for him.

Just what he needed.

Yet another part of his plan was completed.

XD, we're done here. I'll go mining another day.

He heard her thoughts, channeled into his mind and he immediately perked up, like a puppy that was waiting for it's master's instructions.

He instantly teleported next to Y/n, who was carrying a huge bag of supplies.

"Give me."

He muttered, snatching the heavy bag out of her hands to carry it himself before she could protest against his will.

"But-"

"Nope."

He smiled down at her, gaining a pout from Y/n.

"Jeez, thanks."

"No need to thank me, angel. Hold onto me, I'll teleport us."

She dismissed the name with a nod, grasping onto his arm, feeling his muscles that remained hidden under the green fabric of the robes he was wearing.

The familiar feeling of teleportation engulfed her.
