Chapter 42

Isaiah[ Are the preparations ready.]

mikaela[ Everyones just waiting on your signal.]

Isaiah[ Good.]

Isaiah took a deep breath in...then out.

Isaiah" Its time."

When Isaiah came back to the dining hall he saw that everyone was talking leisurely. Gu Qing and her Family were thinking of going home as it was getting late.

And just as they stood up, Isaiah said.

Isaiah" Before you guys leave, I wanted to give Gu Ning and Gu Man a going away surprise."

Everyone was surprised. Gu Man and Gu Ning were touched by how Isaiah treated them.

Gu Man" There was no need for that type of thing. We're already so grateful for taking us in."

Isaiah" It was my pleasure, and I'm not taking no for an answer. Now everyone follow me."

Everyone followed Isaiah as they were curious about what he had in store. As they walked through the mansion it took around 10 minutes to get to the destination as everyone was full of food.

The moment they did arrive they were mesmerized. It was a beautiful star observation deck. There was a massive open ceiling with a big telescope and a view that looked over the whole city.

Seeing the shining stars and bright city lights really made one want to take a photo. Which they did.

After taking the photos Isaiah told them to keep their phones out.

He directed them to the observation patio that showed the small city in all its glory. Isaiah walked toward a table with a blanket over it, so no one knew the contents underneath. Gu Ning could use her powers to see but she didn't want to.

Isaiah" All of you from tomorrow onwards will be living new lives. You'll experience things you never dreamed of and meet people you never thought you would meet. Tho I may be young. I'll just say this.

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special."

He said looking at Jiang Xinyue.

" Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you."

He said looking at Gu Qing

" Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for, without them, life is meaningless."

He said looking at Jiang Xu

" Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life."

" Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying."

He said now looking at Xueyun.

" Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be pave."

" Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find the time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings!"

He Said secretly looking at Gu Man.

" And finally don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going."

He said his last sentence towards Gu Ning who looked at him in the eyes not breaking contact for a second.

Isaiah lifted the blanket and showed what was underneath. 7 Chinese sky lanterns. Isaiah gave them one each.

Isaiah" Once you let these lanterns go they will symbolize your new life Or rebirth."

Everyone looked at the lanterns with vigour and happiness.

And at the exact same time let them go. They watched as the lanterns slowly flew higher and higher.

But just when they thought things were over music started playing in the background.

(Tangled - I see the Light.)

As they look around confused they look at Isaiah for an explanation, but all he's doing is looking towards the city with a soft smile.

Everyone looked in the same direction to see what he was looking at. And when they did see it, they were shocked. Lights, no lanterns hundreds of thousands of them started Rising from the city. But not only the city but the forest too.

They were shocked by how beautiful the scene looked.

Gu Man" Th-this what's going on. Why are there so many lanterns in the sky." Tho she said that everyone there had an idea on who was responsible. Xueyun looked at Isaiah with warm loving eyes.

They all stared at the sight of thousands of twinkling lights in the sky. But it wasn't just them. All around the city, everyone on the streets and watching the news was shocked. Even other cities were informed of the happenings in city F and tuned on there Tv's

On social and weChat everyone was talking to there friends about it.

Gu Man" Isaiah, this sort of thing... you didn't have to."

Isaiah" I didn't have to, but I wanted to. So just relax and enjoy the view." He said with a warm smile on his face. A smile that made her heart skip a beat for probably the 20th time.

All around the city people with there Family and friends sat together to watch the sky.

But they weren't prepared for what was to come in about...

Isaiah" Stage 2 should be commencing in 10...9...8...7."

When they heard Isaiah counting down all of them collectively thought' There's still more'

Isaiah" 6...5...4...3....2....1..." before he could even count down to zero a change in the lights occurred. It wasn't noticeable at first but every second that passed more and more people noticed something happing.

And before they knew it the once bright and light-filled sky was now turned into an aurora borealis.

Every lantern that had been burning white was now, orange, red, green, yellow, purple, blue, and even pink.

If the sight of the lights before was said to be perfect then now it could be said to be a masterpiece.

Isaiah" Go big or go home right." Sadly they didn't respond as they were still entranced at the change in the sky.

This is a day many especially the Gu family will remember and cherish for the rest of there lives.

Gu man, Gu Ning, and Xueyun looked at Isaiah who was also admiring the lights. Sensing three pair of eyes on him, he looked at them and smiled just like he normally does, and turned his gaze back to the sky. Not knowing the kind of lethal damage that exact smile caused.

Xueyun' Fufufu, you won't be sleeping tonight my hubby.'

Gu man' I really have haven't I. I've fallen in love with you haven't I. How am I supposed to forget you when you do this type of thing. I want a new beginning too. But will my daughter accept it.'

Gu Ning' Isaiah...' She said with confusion in her inner voice and heart.
