Chapter 150 - The Ark Of Being Alone Again (2/2)

Mavislin gave a gentle squeeze.

”Just... Be safe,” said the Valkyrie, releasing the Time Mage.

With a heavy heart, the partners parted ways once more. As Raiyen placed the sleeping princess down, he whispered words of encouragement.

”You were great, Nova Orlaith, Avon Harmony.”

As he stepped foot outside of the palace, he witnessed the stars gleaming as the commoners around laid down on the grassy fields to look at the night sky. Being the sweet tooth that he always would be, Raiyen then pulled out a chocolate bar to eat.

”What's that?” asked a young woman, approaching him in a gown.

Raiyen turned around in shock, still having a piece of it in his mouth.

”Chocolate,” he mumbled, looking at the young woman before him.

Her dress sparkled in the dark as so did her crown. Chestnut locks streamed down freely, her eyes were red, an effect of using the spell. That didn't seem to bring any problems since she is a princess.

”What's 'chocolate'? Can I try?” asked the girl once more.

Raiyen sighed as he tossed an extra bar of 'Cadbury' in the princess's direction. She looked perplexed as she tried to open the piece of wrapper.

”It won't kill you, try it,” said Raiyen walking away.

As the girl slowly began munching it, her eyes brightened.

”This is fantastic! I've got to show Big Sis!” cried out the princess.

Her smile went away as she tried to find the mystery person who gave the most remarkable thing she'd tasted.

”Princess Nova! What are you doing outside? You'll catch a cold,” said a woman, approaching the youngster eating the bar of chocolate.

”Mama! Please let Chef Jake remake this wonderful item. It's called chocolate and I want more of it,” pleaded the young princess.

The mother smiled as she nodded, taking the girl away and back into the castle.

Raiyen looked from the hilltop, underneath a huge oak tree. He smiled as stepped back into the Time Portals once more. There was no need to say goodbye if it did not matter anymore. But nevermind that, these are just the saddest moments in this Time Mage's life. Only a tiny fraction.
