Di sebuah tempat yang penuh dengan pelbagai jenis bunga, seorang wanita sedang duduk bersimpuh sambil memerhati sebuah tasik besar di hadapan.
Seorang lelaki datang dari belakang. Wanita itu tersedar lalu tersenyum.
"Jarang nampak awak kat sini." Tegur wanita berambut biru.
"Aveline suruh aku pergi sini dulu. Lagipun aku tiada benda nak dibuat hari ni." Balas si lelaki lalu duduk bersila.
"Oh Hazen, God of Destruction...Someone like you say you have nothing to do?"
"Well, all 3 realms in perfect balance. The peace already here."
"Don't say that, Hazen. We don't know when this peace last long..."
"Ashriel, you don't have any vision about the future?"
"Why you ask?"
"I don't know. Its just... Something bad will happen. I don't know if its just my feeling or what..."
"Eh? God with childish attitude like you can feel bad things? Wow. Another discovery.." Kata Ashriel tersengih.
"Please, Ashriel."
"Hahahaha. I'm just joking, okay?"
"Your joke sure old. Just like you.."
"Its rude for someone to mention someone's age.." Tegur seseorang.
"Ah, Aveline.." Balas Ashriel tersenyum.
"Hai, Ashriel."
"Ok. Kenapa kamu berdua datang ke sini?" Soal Ashriel.
Pasangan suami isteri itu berpandangan antara satu sama lain lalu memandang semula ke arah Ashriel.
"Well, we are feeling comfortable with you. Plus, look at this place. Its beautiful. Just like you and my wife." Balas Hazen tersenyum.
"Amboi. Nak buatkan saya sebagai isteri kedua ke?" Soal Ashriel.
"Siapa je yang tak jatuh hati bila ada seorang dewi cantik dihadapannya? Tapi aku bukannya lelaki macam tu. Aku bukannya jenis yang main kayu tiga." Balas Hazen tersenyum sambil berdiri semula.
"Well, I'm going to Elves Kingdom. Since I don't have anything to do today. So, have a good chit chat" Sambung lelaki itu lalu hilang bersama portal diserunya.
"Bagaimana awak boleh tahan dengan perangai suami awak tu?" Soal Ashriel.
"Because I love him, Ashriel. Kalau bukan sebab Hazen, saya dah mati. Sebabkan dia, saya jadi immortal." Balas Aveline tersenyum.
"I see. You're deeply loving your husband, huh?"
"Of course. We've been together for a thousand years, Ashriel. What do you expect?"
"Well, no comment."
"Well, there things I want to talk.."
"About what?"
"Your child's partner." Balas Aveline.
"This girl?" Soal Ashriel. Bayangan Sarah segera muncul.
"Yeah. This girl hold one of the 3 greatest Flame in 3 Realms." Balas Aveline tersenyum.
"Seriously, Aveline?"
"Yeah."
"I know Hazen have God's Flame and you have Pure Flame. But, how about the last one?"
"I think you must be forgot about that. Since that flame went missing in ancient time."
"Ancient time? Where my sister still Goddess of Destruction?"
"Yeah. Arthemis.."
"Ouh. So, mind to tell me?"
"A flame that against the Heaven itself. Born from hatred. Ashura's flame, Wrath Flame." Balas Aveline serius.
"Ok this is so suprising for me. But, are you sure about this?" Soal Ashriel serius.
"I'm serious, Ashriel. We must protect her from Underworld."
"But, how?" Soal Ashriel.
"You know my old friend, right?"
"Who? Cahtrine?"
"Yeah. She live in kingdom name Flowery Kingdom."
"So, why with that kingdom?"
"Kerajaan tu adalah tempat yang menyimpan kunci bagi Sarah untuk terima sisa kuasa daripada api Ashura." Balas Aveline.
"Oh. Begitu rupanya..."
"Yeah. Well, nasib baik dia jadi pasangan bagi anak ni." Ujar Aveline tersenyum seraya bayangan Leon muncul.
"Kenapa?"
"Kita kena bawa kuasa tu ke sini. Kalau kuasa tu jatuh ke tangan yang salah, ketidakseimbangan boleh berlaku."
"I see. Oh ya, Aveline."
"Hmmmm?"
"Hanya awak belum pilih calon untuk Guardian of Divine Realm?" Soal Ashriel.
"Why? We already have our son."
"Well, you must...Thats all I want to say."
"Well, saya sebenarnya dah jumpa calon yang sesuai. Tetapi bukan pada generasi ni. Saya akan cuba perhatikan untuk beberapa generasi sama ada layak atau tidak." Ujar Aveline.
"Eh? Siapa? Boleh saya tengok?"
"Nah.." Muncul bayangan Freya.
"Anak ni?"
"Yeah. She now have dark flame. Which one consume her life force everytime she using it."
"Oh." Ashriel mengangguk sahaja
"Akan tiba masanya api hitam yang dia ada sekarang akan berubah menjadi api putih." Kata Aveline
"But, its not the right time." Sambung wanita itu lagi.
Ashriel dan Aveline mendiamkan diri. Mereka hanya memandang ke arah tasik.
"Oh ya, Ashriel." Aveline memecahkan kesunyian.
"Kenapa?"
"Want come with us to Flowery Kingdom?" Ajak Aveline tersengih.
"Eh? Tak apa-apa ke?" Soal Ashriel risau.
"Alah. Awak jangan risaulah. Kita pergi ke sana bukan nak campur tangan. Cuma jalan-jalan lihat pemandangan. Since that place is full of beautiful scene we can see..." Balas Aveline sambil menaikkan ibu jari dan tersengih.
"For the one who hold title Goddess of Valkyrie, you sure a naughty one.."
"Heheheheheheh...Bukan selalu.."
"Well, if you insist. Once in a while..Why not?" Kata Ashriel tersenyum.
"Nice.."
