Chapter 37 - The Ark Of Reminder (1/2)

If it was seen from afar, it would look like a normal family. Well, it is a normal family, depends on how you look at it.

”Don't like the family, Snow Cap?” asked Baldwin snapping his fingers in front of Z's face.

The huge man immediately shook his head. And swatted the Angry Man's fingers away.

”Nah, I was just thinking. You lot look like a family, you guys can pass off as a human family anytime soon,” replied Z.

Mavislin giggled at Raiyen as he tried dancing with the deer's antlers.

”It's the only thing that we can give them. A place to call home and a group to call family,” explained Gillian, as the two kids finally calmed down to eat their dinner.

”Some sort of a cozy haven,” said Z, tucking into his dinner.

”What is a haven?” asked Mavislin, eyes sparkling in enthusiasm.

”This is,” said Raiyen, looking around.

The Old Chapel flapped her curtains in agreement.

”A place of safety; a shelter,” explained Gillian.

Mavislin smiled as she took a huge bite of meat.

”Someday, I wanna create a haven,” replied Mavislin. Raiyen raised his eyebrows.

”What for?”

”So others like us would have a home as well,” replied the little girl.

”I'm sick and tired of us Mages being called demons and throw us away like trash. I've seen it, I don't want any more of that.”

”Mavis...” said Ysabeau, ruffling the small child's hair.

The couple and Baldwin were worried that Mavsilin might snap again, like how she did when they found out the Congregation had been torn apart. Things might get ugly.

”Why can't we make a haven for the remaining Mages we've got left?” asked Mavislin.

”If we still have any...” murmured Raiyen, looking at Mavislin with a grim expression.

”I've faith that some of them made out alive,” said the Valkyrie, proudly.

”She has grown up, hasn't she? The last time I heard about her, she was still afraid of humans. These few months with you guys helped turn a child to a proper girl who thinks for herself. You all should be proud,” said Z, grinning.
