Let Us Dance Among the Petals, in the Moonlight Shadow

The sunset awakened itself transitioning in time as the morning's rays trailed upon the land of fiore, Celeste was already in town though as she wanted a delightful delilcacy from any one of the various shops, it wasn't any specific store she eager for though if a promising aroma wafted in her vicinity she wouldn't hesitate to follow it's alluring smell. Her golden eyes laid steadily upon the art book she took with her all the time to record her journey, pictures weren't often accurate though her drawing skills proved this to be false as myriads of beings were able to analyze and recognize the location based upon her impressive compositions. Celeste kept a decent pace as she began doodling again, she hummed a tune under her breath as she walked occasionally moving her head upwards to gain awareness of her surroundings.

Suddenly a scent of pure deliciousness filled her nostrils entirely, she widened her eyes and closed her art book putting it away shortly after her body turned to the direction of the smell and followed it's scent. It's path led her to a cafe in which then her stomach growled viciously once she opened the door, she felt a massive energy from the raven haired woman who was seated once she entered, no mage could just ignore such power that dwelled inside her. Celeste shook her head while reverting back to reality in which then she took a seat at the table next to Kenna, she blinked while tapping her fingers on the table, she didn't have any money as it's been a while since she went on a job yet she was so hungry she didn't know what to do.

As the waiter encountered the girl he gave hera peculiar glance towards her as he obviously was rather growing skeptical to gain the girl's reasoning for sitting unattended or supervised by a parental guardian. The waiter folded his hands behind his back, “ Young lady where are your parents? “ he asked. Celeste paused for a moment while drenching her head down as she didn't know, “ I.. I don't have any.. but.. there was one person who took care of me, Diverna.. No.. “ she said while placing her palms upon her face. The waiter dealt with many troublesome kids and was on high alert, “Get out! You miscreants won't steal from this shop again! “ he shouted with rage as he misunderstood the girl since he isn't sure if she's actually innocent. Celeste gave the man a tearful gaze, “ What? I don't know what your talking about sir, I apologize if I did anything to upset you” she said as she didn't seek to get in any further trouble. Celeste got up out her seat and walked over to the entrance.

Celeste's ears picked up a sudden voice that caused the blonde god slayer to turn around out of curiosity, that woman, her heartfelt words engulfed her well being with relief due to her courageous actions. Celeste only watched this confrontation transpire, she knew quite well that the waiter needed to be reproached for his disgusting customer service as an employee worker. As she listened even more she heard Kenna's supposable threat to the waiter, it made her want to rejoice that there were people in the world who would be brave enough to stand up to people like that, the look of fear filled the waiter's consciousness, she could tell that he was tremendously terrified of Kenna at this point. Celeste stepped back and gasped once she called out to her, she then smiled delightfully as she appreciated her help in keeping her in the shop, she widened her eyes as Kenna not only invited the girl over to her table but Celeste also is able to get something to eat before her potentially rigorous quest begins.

Celeste jumped happily, “ Okay! Thank you so much m-” she was about to speak as if she didn't know her though a sudden a memory had revealed itself within Celeste's mind, she remembered being introduced to her back when the guild hall had fallen but she didn't really get to know Kenna quite well enough yet to validate what kind of a person she was. She chuckled while waving,”Oh.. You don't remember me, back when the guild had fallen, I was on your team to help fight whoever we're the culprits who caused our guild's destruction, I was useless and gone unconscious during battle though..” She explained.

Celeste gave an instant glance at Shinta in which then she headed over to the table and introduced herself, “ Hello there, are you a dragon! I love dragons their so cool! I've wanted to meet one since I was just a little kid, I remember hearing legends of a dragon like magic that can actually be wielded by us mere mortals too” she said in which then she groaned as she suddenly had felt her stomach rumble.

The young wizard never would've thought that Kenna would remember her,  after all she didn't really make much use in the battle against the gods so her skills weren't note worthy enough for someone to possibly remember her, as her name escaped Kenna's lips she felt a surge of relief in her that subtlety swelled by the thought of being recognized. Celeste gazed upon Shinta's positive gestures and giggled softly while placing her right hand’s fingers along her bottom lip,  she then gave an attentive glance at Kenna as she had begun to speak again. Kenna was quite thoughtful for allowing her to choose whatever she desired,” Really! Thank you Kenna!  Your the best!” she said. Celeste took the menu the waiter gave her and browsed through the various selections that the shop had to offer to the community,  she ordered a plate of chicken salad, boiled shrimp and a glass of orange juice to finish off with a beverage.

After she had concluded her meal request she had seen that Kenna seemed rather contemplative to an extent due to how she interacted with her cup, as she had spoken her eyes steadied as it seems to be something essential that she had to say based on her body language. Celeste felt she was returned to the moment that she was defeated by the God Prometheus,  she narrowed her eyes as Kenna didn't have to apologize for that, “It's okay, I don't mind, I tried my best to keep up with you guys but I guess it was bound to happen. I'm not strong like you or Ryo or Master Kite,  but I plan to be!  I won't stop until I become one of those wizard saint guys!  I know Ryo is one and I want to become one too!” she said with a cheerful smile. Celeste never thought of Kenna as someone who isn't caring,  even though their introduction to one another was brief she knew there was good inside her,  as it is in everyone.

Once the food had arrived she began to drench saliva down the corner of her lips as the mouth watering smell entered her nostrils pleasantly, she didn't think twice as the plate came onto the table,  she consumed her dishes rapidly while taking periodic sips of orange juice every now and then. As she asked her what she's been up to Celeste gulped the last chunks of food that was left, “ Well after I was unconscious it took a few days for me to recover,  but once I was well enough to leave on my own, I did my own fair share of travelling. I even got to meet a god,  her name was Diverna and she was really nice,  but she's gone know” she said with a sigh staring at the orange juice for a bit as she was in complete thought about the events that took place that fateful day.[/color]

Once Kenna started to speak she gave a baffled glance completely in disbelief as Kenna reminded her of Diverna, she was so kind and overall just supportive of Celeste's choices just like Diverna was, she wanted to start shedding tears due to resemblance however she repressed such emotions for now and narrowed her eyes drenching a single tear from her right eye. Celeste felt content currently, Kenna had a way of just being a comforting individual which had drawn the bubbly young wizard to an extensive degree without a doubt. Her encouraging words about Diverna made her realize a lot, if perhaps she is watching over her as Kenna suggested, then she would make her proud with a true family that appreciates the values of being family orientated in general.

Celeste couldn't hold in the tears, she felt welcomed, more welcomed than she'd know for thousands of years, her memories of her past are still vague, though a few of these memories are clearer than others. After she wiped her tears she gave Kenna the biggest hug she could give, she pressed her forehead onto her stomach and cried softly, sniffing abruptly after she spoke," Thank you.. Thank you so much, I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I met my real parents, the only thing I can remember is..the stars.. I -I remember the stars and space all around me, while sleeping.. but that doesn't matter now since I have you to be there for me.." she said while loosening her grip.

As she would dig into her pocket she took out this quest paper she took from the guild hall's quest board, it was fairly simple though she wasn't quite confident of the difficulty of this mission. Celeste thought it would be nice to do this mission with Kenna as she enjoys the time that they had shared, she unfolded the paper displaying it to Kenna for her to skim through the details," What do you think! I do love cherry blossoms but ones that hurt people? That doesn't sound good at all" she stated while rubbing the back of her head.
