[ Chapter 07 ]
3 years later......
Time went by so quickly, hours feel like minutes and minutes feel like seconds. it's become their routine to go through that portal.
"Let's go " Irene chirps, they again go through that Portal
"It's changed right when we first came here it looks so natural and now, see it looks different, " Shia says observing the area.
"Yeah, it's changed a lot" Irene agrees with her friend, nodding her head They play around like casual, they get comfortable with that mortal forest pretty well. without any tension, they roam in that forest. but they never cross the line.
They play 'hide n seek' and it's the princess' turn to find irene. Shia counts to 10 and spins around, ready to find her friend
®®®Meanwhile, john's family®®®
"Jagi where are we?" Mrs.John questions while 3-year-old wuhan wiggles in his mother's hands, wanting to be free.
" It's the place where I want to build a cottage for our summer vacation. What you say?" Mr.john explains it's a beautiful countryside forest
"It's beautiful, darling. What you say my baby boy " Mrs.john asks little wuhan who giggles seeing a new place.
He again wiggles in his mother's hands and his mother brings him down so he can play on the grass.
Mr. and Mrs.John start to talk about the place, where the directions of the cottage would be, and forget about their little bunny.
wuhan plays for a while with grass and insects in it but stops when his small eyes catch something
He giggles seeing that something. he stands up from the ground and walks toward that thing ignoring his surroundings.
Shia still looks for irene but irene is nowhere to be seen, the princess doesn't realize that she walks further out of the forest, when Shia looks at her front. she finds a baby boy who is walking toward the edge.
Shia tilts her head not understanding what is happening, she observes that kid who walks further and further toward the end of the ground.
' Does he want to fly? Is he a mortal?' She thought for a while still confused.
'Maybe he is mortal because he doesn't have wings like U-' Shia's eyes widen when the thing hit her hard
She blinks 'O.M.G', Shia says even she sees that baby who falls from the edge. Shia flies toward her edge and opens her big blackish- folcanic wing, and in a minute she catches that baby before he hits the ground.
She flies back to her place and walks inside the forest to make sure he won't walk to the edge again. She opens her wing again, which covers her body, and finds a mesmerizing baby already looking at her with his doe eyes
His eyes become glittery, Shia panics seeing little thing about to cry, but in less than a second, a smile crept onto his face
The princess tilts her head confused seeing a sudden change in this mortal baby "are you okay, mortal?" Shia asks the baby, making herself to set down and place that little body on her laps
Observing his facial features. His beautiful doe eyes, his small little nose, his small pink lips, and when he giggles while looking at her his front two bunny teeth
Shia flinches when baby wuhan brings his hands to her face down to her clothes, he again giggles, enjoying the view in front of him
A girl, in her 19s, wearing different clothes than mortals, having wings and two horns on her head.
He touches her horns making her flinch again "are you a mortal? Aren't you afraid of me?" Shia asks wuhan who Doesn't understand a word
He just plays with her clothes and horns, she lets him do that, why? Because she Doesn't feel uncomfortable with him
He is just a small mortal who won't talk, — or maybe he can, of course, he is 3 years old. How would he hurt her?
"Do you have mom, mortal?" She again asks, gaining a giggle. His laughter somehow makes her feel cozy
She touches his chubby cheeks, and wuhan leans on her hand, it's like he knows what she is doing to him.
WUHAN BABY WHERE ARE YOU~
someone shouts making Shia flinch "maybe they are your parents who are looking for you "
Shia suddenly gets up, carrying this small baby with her "let's go" She again opens her wings ready to fly
wuhan laughs seeing him in the air, Shia lands on the ground not far away from the voices
She makes baby wuhan sit on the ground and walk back to the edge, she takes a last glance at him.
wuhan raises his arms, wanting Shia to pick him up again, shia is about to approach him again
"wuhan, my baby " When a thin pinch echoes from the back of the baby.
wuhan Doesn't take his eyes off shia, shia panics, she jumps from the edge not wanting someone to see her, also in her immortal form.
"Aww here you are baby, you know how much we got worried about you baby," Mrs.John says in a shaky voice.
She picks up a 3-year-old from the ground but the baby still looks at the shia's side. He raises his arm, clutching his fist again and again.
"What are you looking at baby " Mr.john follows his little prince's gaze but found no one.
Little did they know wuhan can see shia high in the sky 'do mortals see us?' the princess questions herself,

"Where were you huh? you know how much I got worried about you?" Irene shouts making her way toward shia, forgetting all honorifics, and suddenly hugs her.
"Uhhh" Shia snaps out of her thoughts.
"Now let's go otherwise we're gonna be late " Irene holds her hand and heads toward the portal...
shia feels a deep connection with that baby, she never saw that baby before, but she can tell that he is something special. something she will crave in the future
