The closeness of our hearts seems to speed up time. As autumn turns to winter, the color of the golden lakeside woodland gradually fades.
As the weather turns completely cold, the arrival of the first snow makes life on the lakeside begin to become difficult, but fortunately both of them are very capable people, so the supplies they need for life are quite sufficient. And during the day in winter
Without most of the daily work to do, the two of them can cuddle up together, or sit by the lake, or sit on the roof of the wooden house, chatting about the past and the present, and imagining that they will be here in the future.
Longer years of living together.
"I always feel that the happiness I have now even scares me. Do I deserve it?"
This is what Flora Winslet often said when the two of them were thinking about the future, and Shade always gave her a warm hug, but he actually had more questions.
At some point, the curtain that blocked the two single beds at night was quietly removed by the witch responsible for cleaning the room, so the two beds that were born at the same time finally came together completely on that snowstormy late winter night, and
Flora Winslet was finally able to nestle in Shade's arms, listening to him tell stories from a foreign land that she had never heard before, amidst the firelight of the fireplace and the wind and snow outside the window.
Time seems to be moving forward all the time, and the warming of feelings makes the boring and simple life become more colorful. After the two beds merge into one, it seems that the barrier between the two people has completely disappeared, and they have truly become a couple who will stay here forever.
Happy lovers living in a lake house.
Away from the hustle and bustle, away from the sophistication of the world, away from political disturbances, and away from the many dangers, Flora Winslet was truly immersed in this kind of happiness.
Shade, who was also wrapped in happiness, always felt that he had forgotten something. He thought that he had forgotten a very important agreement and many things that he had to do, but whenever he thought like this, gray and black
The haired witch will always smile and hug him:
"It doesn't matter, I will always be by your side."
But the feeling of disobedience has not disappeared because of this. Especially when night falls and the stars shine in the deep night sky, the discomfort will become more intense:
"What on earth have I forgotten? Little Mia is still being taken care of by Miss Denister? Are there three people who are still awake in the cabin next door? Or is there never been a moon here at night? What have I forgotten?"
He was confused, and this doubt also produced more anxiety. Until the day when winter was about to end, after ending the night's story and kissing Flora, letting her fall asleep, Shade put on his coat and went alone
One person walked out of the cabin.
Although spring has come, the nights are still cold. Stacks of snow-covered firewood are piled next to the wooden house, and the soil has been plowed in the fields. They are just waiting for the temperature to rise a little before planting seeds for food, which were planted last week.
The swing that Shade set up swayed slightly with the night wind. Shade still remembered that they were sitting on the swing together and he kissed her at that time.
The stars were reflected in the calm lake, but these stars made Shade feel even more anxious. So he went to the woods to relax, of course, as usual, he would not go very far.
It's just that tonight seems a little different, because a layer of white mist has appeared in the forest at some point.
The fog was not very dense, so the curious Shade wanted to trace the source of the fog to prevent it from interfering with the two's mushroom picking work tomorrow. He walked in circles in the forest, and then he discovered
There seemed to be a figure waiting for him ahead.
The figure was very blurry, but it looked quite familiar. So Shade chased after him, and the fog became thicker and thicker at this time, until at some point the white fog obscured everything in the forest, and the people in front of him were
The figure also stopped between two big trees, and behind her was a white light.
Only then did Shade see the woman's appearance clearly. She had light brown skin and was dressed quite coolly. Her upper body was only covered with a tube top, and her lower body beyond her navel was covered in a thin skirt, and she wore a gold medallion around her waist.
Chains, and golden bracelets on the wrists of both hands and feet, making her look like a dancer from the desert.
"But this is not a desert. Miss Meister?"
Shade blurted out this name.
Her specific appearance was not very clear in the fog, but her smiling voice was very clear:
"Now that you have remembered me, aren't you willing to wake up from the haze?"
The figure of the God of Mist asked the stranger. The stranger was stunned for a moment and stood there without saying anything. Then the smiling lady gently shook her wrist, and the sound of the golden bracelet clanging against each other was particularly clear, and it hit Xia Xia with a sound.
The soul of virtue:
"The desire for happiness is so deep in the heart, so refreshing, and so intoxicating. It is like a tarsal snake, like a colorful fungus, like a lover's lies."
The God of Mists in the Mist then asked:
"I know that sometimes you feel too tired and sometimes want to stop and rest for a while, but do you still remember what you promised them?"
"What."
The answer to the question seemed to be on his lips, but Shade felt that he just couldn't remember it. The feeling of madness made him want to turn around and leave, returning to the simple and monotonous happiness, but he was not the kind of person who was cowardly.
And those who run away will never run away.
So "Miss Meister" smiled and continued:
"Really don't remember? I'll give you a little reminder. You promise to stay with them until..."
"Until the end of time."
The fog in front of him gradually dispersed, and the figure of the god in the fog also dissipated with the laughter. Like waking up from a big dream, the long-lost real fear made Shade take a big breath and drink the river water when he opened his eyes underwater.
, he actually, he actually forgot.
He was underwater at the moment, but he was not still but moving. He was breathing in the water without choking, and when he looked forward in extreme fear, Shade actually saw a cat with glowing hair biting his collar.
He quickly fluttered his short limbs and pulled him toward the water.
This funny scene that made him want to cry completely made Shade sober:
"Mia, you can actually swim?"
The little cat was trying its best to pull Shade, but Shade, who was weak and even trembling, could not control his body to move immediately. However, the cat seemed to notice that Shade opened his eyes, so
The four short legs flapped faster, and the light on their bodies became more obvious.
It's not that the whole body is glowing, but only the orange part of the orange-white hair is emitting light like the sun. This light is so warm that even under the pitch-black water, it still shines on Shade, for him.
Guiding the direction.
The spell "Underwater Breathing" has been activated instinctively, and the orange and white cat finally dragged him to the surface of the water. When his nose and mouth were in contact with the air, Shade breathed heavily. At this time, the top of his head was orange.
The sunset glow, the cool wind of late autumn already has a bit of chill:
"Did I sleep at the bottom of the lake all day?"
Shade felt that he could move a little now, but the cat still didn't let him go. It bit Shade's clothes desperately and dragged him to the lake shore.
In the end, before the cat seemed to be exhausted, it successfully took Shade out of the lake. So Shade was immediately picked up. The red-haired girl ignored that his whole body was still dripping with water. Her worried and even frightened face came to his side.
before:
"Shad! Are you okay, can you talk now? You haven't heard from you all day, and your cat has been restless since noon. Towards evening, he started trying to leave the hotel, and I saw the white color on his body.
The fur lit up with a silver light, and I remembered the [Immortal Fire Seal] you told me. It was sensing you, so I took people to follow it to find you."
"Meow!"
The cat stood at their feet. After making sure that Shade was okay, the cat faced the large lake that was reflected red by the setting sun, and howled with fur.
Shade looked around again. Dozens of girls who were followers of the witch were standing behind them vigilantly, continuing to perform protection, defense, and exorcism in the temporary camp. The [Hermit in the Forest] wearing a brown robe
The great elder of the group, Mr. Steve Davis, looked frightened and cast spells with the three hermits who were traveling with him, as if to calm the restless woods.
The dense ritual matrix was imprinted on everyone's feet, and the superimposed spells and magic spells had even formed a mutual resistance effect, but everyone still did not dare to stop.
The setting sun reflects the golden woodland and the calm heart-shaped lake. There is nothing on the lake, but the lake water clearly looks black underwater, but it is almost transparent when viewed from the lake shore.
Therefore, Shade saw dozens of living people, including Miss Winslet, Linda Bennet and the strangers in the dream, lying at the bottom of the lake with their eyes closed. Apparently not long ago, he
Also lie in the same position.
The happy memories of life in the dream came back to my mind, and the reluctance, nostalgia and longing for Flora came to my mind again - the name had been changed in the dream, but when I thought about it again, I discovered the unreasonableness and
The incoherence of time.
"When we arrived just now, we saw you, Flora, and Linda Bennett floating on the lake. I didn't dare to let the girls go directly to catch you. I wanted to cast a spell to make you float back. Your
The cat immediately bit my finger."
The red-haired girl who was still trying to calm herself showed Shade her right index finger, with the shallow cat teeth marks still on it:
"Then I saw that you were not on the lake at all, but at the bottom of the lake. Instead, all of us had almost reached the lake. If your cat hadn't bitten me awake, maybe we would have been there now. We were still there then.
We all saw it, there seems to be something else at the bottom of the lake."
