Chapter 37: Seeds On Every Stream

Greetings, My Name is Novena Pietrilcina as you know I am the caretaker of the Myrrh Cinamon Library for decades. I have witnessed all the Harpsichord completed their task. Some pairs have married each other, most have returned to where they came from. I got rellocated within the premises of El Oathniel Kingdom. I got currently assigned by King Cyrus Radney to be their observant and overseer. I am stationed in front of the very library I have grown to love. It may look liked I never existed but I am here. I spreading my wings to refuge this youngsters.

Ophir Glockenspiel the choosen and favoured. His wisdom and judgment is neutral and supernatural. His heart is after his father's heart. His first and last resort woul be prayer. The main reason my fireflies got magnified unto him was because he unconsciously seek and hungered for a crapshoot. He is adored by the Royal Prince and got respected by the Duke and Earl's household. I can say he is one of the best Sealer so far. I can't help but chuckle at his reaction when he recieved his armours.

Novena would squeal in delight whenever she catches Ophir steal glances on Lehi. She would applause his gentleman nature. He would always extend his hands to escort her. He would bring Lehi's morning coffee and would sniff her hair whenever Lehi had her back turned away from him. He would get possessive whenever some nobles stare too long at her or check her frames. He would cry and pray for Lehi at the garden before resigning to bed.

Novena can't help but sigh whenever Lehi would just ignore his advances. Lehi would secretly smile whenever she caught Ophir stare at her but she will maintain a poker face. She would conceal her jealousy and insecurity. But most of the time she is oblivious of her own feelings. Novena can heartily laugh when she appreciate Ophir's little and simple gestures.

When she first heared of the mission. She thought that it would be the usual boring task to do but her amusement and playful nature got awakened. The Barely Underground floor really is the right place of what Ophir and Lehi hath sealed so far. The books have contains dark and auspices.These are the myhths that are long forgotten and untold.

As an overseer, I have to do my job and research about the backgrounds of my Harpsichord. This is a clandestine with strict secrecy. Even the King and Queen doubts Ophir's whereabouts. I have disguised myself as a youngster. A woman with auburn hair unfolding a story. Her gestures were wide and vast. The way she delivers her words contains power and wonder.

Novena purposely bump unto her as she is about to exit this town. I apologies and begged for a food. She grinned and treated me with full basket of bread and bottles of milk. Her dress was crafted like an ancient goddess painted in navy green with a white broad band of cloth worn about her shoulder.

"Hi My Name is Bethany Glockenspiel. I am a wondering story teller and my son is currently missing. Do you by any chance know about his whereabouts?"

Novena smiled at her and nod her head.

Bethany just look at her with much comfort and peace.

"As I thought , I saw you fall down with my son on that vanishing well. And you bump on me purposely. "

Bethany analyzed as she relaxed her reflexes.

"Forgive our actions, As much as I want to tell you why... but we are not allowed to dispose of any information. Yet, I can assure you he is doing well and that he missed you." Novena stood up revealing her true form. Bethany just stare at her in all wonder. Novena was surprised

of her reaction. Bethany suddenly grab a pen and a thick notebook from her bag.

Bethany hath a twinkle in her eyes as she lean closer at her. She took note of Novena's features.

"You are not afraid of me? " Novena inquired.

Bethany shaked her head to disagree and clasp her hand.

"Tell me more about you. My son will do just fine. "

Bethany squeezed every story from her and Novena felt relieved after the story telling session more or like a interrogation. Bethany just gave her a gentle smile. She removed her earings and handed it to Novena.

"Give this to my son and tell him to never forget how to pray and that I believe in him...Oh! and tease him to bring home a wife and children. "

Novena can now follow through where did Ophir learned to be wise and joyful. Novena can't help but snicker as she remember about the rose petal Ophir brought home that can slice a gem stone. He grab a soviener for each of us after his month stay in Terifimo.

Novena uttered a prayer to convert the single white petal. Bethany witnessed how the white petal flew from Novena's hand to her scarf. It became a pendant that hold her scarf upon her chest. Bethany touched the sky-high thing and can feel a ethereal delicacy and refinement from it.

Bethany genuinely smiled. Novena walk with her till her destination and finally bid goodbye. Novena watch Ophir pray at back garden. When Ophir got up from his knees Novena approached her and handed her the earrings.

Ophir got surprised when Novena appeared out of nowhere in his face. The earrings he handed her made his soul yearn for his mother. It was a button with cream color and forest green edges.

"Your mother said that you should bring back a wife and children. Plus never forget how to pray because she believes in you. "

Ophir blushed at the wife and children request. It won't be hard because he is in fact married but the children would be... His thought got drifted to something comically erotic when Novena slap him on the back of his head.

"Get to bed pervert. Lehi just recovered remember? "
