༄"Your destiny awaits you" He says. Standing up from the chair the man goes towards the door. I look as shocked as I can be at this man as he walks out the door. My feet frozen to the ground. But, then I find it in me to follow him. I walk towards the door and open it. "What are yo-..." I begin to speak. Going outside into the world, I cannot see anyone. Once again in shock and surprise I look around, and yet I cannot see anyone. I walk around the house to find him and I look everywhere, but this man has not been seen anywhere.
That should not happen. N0 one can simply disappear like that. If he were to walk into the forest and go somewhere, I would be able to see him. And no one is able to disappear like that. Or, at least I am confident that it is not normal for people to do that. My eyes are everywhere, searching for this man that somehow disappeared and I cannot see him. I cannot understand any of it. His words still echoing inside my head, never wanting to leave it appears.
I stand there in utter confusion. That man showed up out of nowhere and disappeared in the same manner. With a lot on my mind I can back inside the house. I cannot stop thinking of what he said. I do not know what destiny means, but clearly it seems to mean a lot. Why? And why am I this special? Before this man came I had many questions of many things. It would appear that now I have even more questions that I need answers for. With this frustration growing inside me, I continue to clean the house and pick off where I had been interrupted before.

Caelestinus returns just before supper. Once he enters the house I see the smile of joy on his face. I raise an eyebrow. "I have something for you" He says and gives me a small smirk. But, there is happiness in it. "What is it?" I ask him. He walks over to me and hands me a small box. It's so small that it would fit in my palm. I pick it up. The box is so light that it feels as if though there does not contain anything inside it at all.
I look up at him again to see the excitement on his face. Slowly I am getting better at seeing what people feel based on their faces. At least Caelestinus' face. Since he's the only one that I've been around, except for that man that came earlier, but that is not what I wish to think nor even speak of. That man is gone from my mind and his words as well. "Open it" He says to me, rather quickly. With a nod I left the lid off the box and look inside. Inside there is a single stone.
It's small in size, but it's fairly beautiful. The stone is this deep purple shade. Once again I look at Caelestinus. Even more confused. "What is this?" I ask him. He chuckles. Picking up the stone from the box he plays with it with his hands. "Well, this is what is called a Witch's ancestry. When a Witch turns a certain age a ceremony is preformed and a drop of her blood is dripped onto a stone like this, where all the Witches that came before her have done. The stone collecting magic for centuries. Coloring it with beauty. They say gifting it to a young beauty will give her fortune and grace" He says to me.
All I can do is stare at this stone. It has this pull to it, I can feel it within me. If this is used by Witches then I understand why I would feel that. The only thing is that I feel pain coming from the stone itself. As if this is not something that is good but something bad and that feeling doesn't end. "Here" He says and hands me the stone. As soon as I have it in my hands I let out a gasp. Feeling this dark energy flow through the stone itself.
I stare at it. The color I do not think is supposed to represent beauty, but I feel like it is supposed to be death. There are so many feelings of death in this stone. It is everywhere inside there, and it wants to break out into the world. It pains me inside my chest to even hold this stone in my hand. I quickly set it down on the table and look back at him. He eyes me carefully as if asking me if I were all right.
"I think we should eat now" I say to him, and he nods. He sits down and we start eating in silence. As much as I want to say something, I keep thinking of this stone. Even when I do not hold it in my hands, I can still feel that there is magic coming from there. A magic that is strong. Much stronger than I could ever explain in words. It may not be stronger than I am for I am the strongest Witch in the world, but this magic is strong. What kind of magic it is, I do not know yet.
Finding it out would be rather difficult since I do not know that much about magic. I have been practicing my whole life, and yet I feel as though I have not scratched the surface when it comes to magic. My mother had warned me that there are more spells, but I could not learn them. She never told me why and I never asked. I never wanted her to be disappointed in me which I know she would be if I were to ask. She hated it when I asked her things that I knew she did not like to speak about.
"Do you feel all right?" He asks me after some minutes of silence. The only sounds that could be heard are the ones of us eating in silence. I nod. "Of course, I feel as perfect as ever" I say to him. And I should be perfect. I truly am out in the world and there is nothing that I cannot do now. Except for a couple of things that are only temporary though. Caelestinus already said to me that I would soon be able to go out into the town.
He nods. "That is a good thing" He says. He lets go of the fork that he had and takes my hand into his and holds it. "You truly are beautiful" He whispers as he leans and kisses the back of my hand. My eyebrows furrow in confusion, but I do not miss the skip of my heart nor the warmth that goes to my cheeks as well as the butterflies that flutter when he spoke and did that. "Why did you do that?" I ask him. He chuckles, and his sky blue eyes meet mine, his beautiful eyes that hold so much wonder inside them.
"Over the last couple of days, your kindness and beauty have had to be in a trance. You deserve to be pampered for the rest of your life and I do hope that I become the one that can care for you and be the one that is with you for the rest of our lives. Freya, I ask you, your permission to start courting you?" He asks me. My eyes widen when he says those words. "Courting me? As in wanting to marry me one day?" I ask him. I do not know much about it for my mother never intended for me to marry.
Before Caelestinus I had never even met another man in my life, and now that I have, and I love him and deeply care for him, I do not need another one. I only need him. "Yes, I wish to marry you one day" He says. I give him a smile. He does not know how happy he has made me and I doubt that he will ever understand my happiness. This is true happiness and true love, I finally understand that. "I give you permission to court me" I tell him.
Courting him would be perfect for us, we would be able to spend more time together, and it would be as happy as ever. I would feel more happy than ever. Caelestinus still holds my hand and I never want him to let go of my hand ever again. There is this warmth to his hand that makes me feel like I truly belong. My heart knows that I belong with him as he belongs with me. "Do I have your permission to kiss you?" He whispers to me, his voice so low, and yet I heard it perfectly.
My lips part as I stare at him in a little shock. I've never kissed anyone before and while I know what it is, I do not know if I can kiss him. But, when I look into his eyes I find that I have this craving to kiss him as well. I have this need to his lips on mine and I have a longing to feel him touch me. His eyes show me the same thing that I think my own eyes are telling him. I then nod my head after a moment or two. "Yes" I answer.
Slowly he comes closer to my body. Still holding my hand he grows closer. His head so close to mine that I can feel it. I can feel the warmth of him. The aura that he has, I can feel it within my body. My heart is loud inside my chest, I wonder if he can hear it. I gulp when his head comes closer. His eyes are only looking into my eyes, and he doesn't want to look away from them. And neither do I want to look away from his eyes that are like the beauty of the sky, the beauty of the world.
Our lips are so close to touching. He comes even closer, and then he captures my lips into his. His lips are soft and smooth and perfect. Never have I felt anything like this before. The kiss is so gentle and kind and sweet and yet at the same time I find that he wants to claim me as his own. I feel he wants more. And I dare to say that I want more as well. I need more. It is not just his kisses that I've started to crave but him.
We move in sync with each other. Our bodies becoming one as we kiss. There is some magic behind it, in my heart I can feel that. My eyes are closed as I enjoy the kiss. The kiss that he makes more special than anything. Caelestinus lifts me up into his arms. I smile as we continue to kiss. It is so tender and enjoyable. I never want it to end. The feelings that I have inside me are ones that I wish to explore, and I don't want to let go of them and neither does he. I hold him as he has me in his arms.
We do not break the kiss as he lowers me onto the bed where the softness takes over me. My heart feels the happiness that flows through me with this single kiss. His touch on my body is what I've started to crave for, the longing only growing with each and every touch that he gives me. His mouth on mine and I can taste him. He's heavenly in every sense. From the back of my throat I let out a small moan as he touches my body. The moan is there to give him permission to love me.
