THAT ILLUSION || Chasing the call of the chasm.
Earth is haunted, and they have come to save the earthlings before it's too late.
The Narngon school of magic is the only source of remedy for this silently perishing world. The trio of infamous queens...
"A mother loves every child. And I'm a mother." She winked while resting the cup down on the table near the diary.
"Careful! There is some serious business in there." Hugh's cry irked Aaron.
"Yeah, I know. Aaron that was one good verse. Romantic and antique, so much you," Galene rubbed her slender fingers over the diary.
Aaron's rigid stares made the other two cackle up.
"So is that enough? Or is that too shifty?" Aaron licked his lips while ruffling his auburn curls.
"Do you both think impressing a woman is enough to win her?"
"First impression is the key right?" Aaron tossed his crossed palms.
"But there is something more to it. If you want to be remembered just the prints of you in their life is enough. But if you want them to stay along you need to..." She chose Aaron first.
"To give more gifts and surprises?"
Galene bit her lip to gulp down his innocence. She then looked at Hugh who pretended to be thinking harder.
"Ain't he, right? Dad does get you surprises to keep you smiling. Maybe frequent flowers?" Hugh smiled a victorious grin.
"Flowers and surprises? Too dreamy and flattery. But you guys have no idea of a relationship. Ugh!" She massaged her temple to calm down her bothering nerves.
"So?"
"The key to having a good relationship is talking! Understanding each other." The boys threw gawking stares between each other and her.
"Guys, listen. The hormones may get you cheesy tickles but care and respect for each other's diversity and being inclusive is what a relationship is all about. Talk and know each other. Then decide. After all, love is a path which is a destiny to eternal happiness and liberation." Her explanation had clouded their tender heart, if not for them why would their skin look flushed and pale.
"So it's all about talking?" Hugh tried to summarize.
"Converse. Comprehend and communicate. That's the real win. That's why I and your dad ended up here." A strong smile toddler on her lips.
"Okay, mom. Now I know what I must do." Aaron raised his thumb.
"And you sweetheart?" Hugh responded alike his friend.
"Good now that you understand, bundle up the naughtiness and try to be a man. Oh wait, some humour and romance is a must though." Galene chuckled as she saw the clear winds get hazy in their minds.
"Mom! You are too villainous!"
"Not so-" Before she could surmise, they heard the bell alarm. The rising echoing whines indicated what would be the only possibility.
Gulping down the haze and maze, she said, "Guys get the girls here. We are being called from Aetherth."
"What.. could it be?" Aaron spoke in a broken tone.
"Conclude not until we confront! Get them here the soonest possible." With that, she closed her eyes, wishing the fate to be a little more benignant than before.

Hope the tender love fight was apt in insight. I wanted this take to be light and more character-oriented. I felt from here we get all the character base in good shape. May the champagne and cheers load me. We are halfway through the tale officially.
Now get set for more action and little romance. I wish to spill a spoiler here. If you are an ardent mythical animal lover, then now is the time to keep reading the tale.
Let's muse on something interesting today.
.Ø. What is love according to you? Let me know the roots in the comments.
