I did fall asleep at some point.

It's where I wake in the morning that confused me for a second. I forgot we weren't home.

The fire was well fed and the hall was filled with our family having breakfast and quietly chatting some distance away.

I looked at Zephyr still sleeping soundly. I smiled..he was still here. I gently kissed his forehead and quietly crawled until it was safe to get up.

I took a seat and picked up Ilianna.

" Is father sleeping? - she was munching on some butter and bread. " Should we wake him?"

" Soon sweetheart.. he had, a hard day yesterday."

She looked disappointed. But I wanted him to sleep in. Only Ehlite knows, what he had planned for him.

" I was thinking.." - I turned to all of them but, mainly to Alexander and Lucian. " I want your help to build a nice house for us before the first winter snow."

I had all night to think.

I wanted him closer to me in any way possible. This entire ability thing and the fallout that will surely come once news spread to other villages freaks me out...

Emet village has a blessed among them..and he killed a divine beast!

Others will flock to see him. Maybe even that fool of a feudal Lord or even the King come. Other blessed..nations seeking him out..it's to much. My beautiful picture of a wedding in winter will be changed completely. His upcoming fame..I fear it will take him away one day. From us. From me.

" Of course we help Lylly. Anything you two needs." - Alexander was quick to jump on my idea. " I gather people around. We can do it by the end of the month."

It was the first time, I was grateful for that oaf.

With his students help ..

" Why the sudden hurry sweetheart? - I felt a hand on my wrist squeezing it. " Are you three, moving far away?"

" Mother the entire village lives a twenty minute walk from one another. How far, could we possibly move?"

She pouted a little but at least remembered the fact Emet village is small. Although that might change is the future.

Granny looked at me scanning my face. What is she thinking?

Zephyr turned and rolled to his other side, jamming a pillow under his head.

Ilianna couldn't take it any longer and jumped on him.

" UGHH!..what in.." - he got the air knocked out of him. " O-oh morning princess. Missed me?"

" Uhum..dad we moving to a new house. Uncle Alex will build it for us.." - she pointed back at our table. " It will be twenty or more minutes from our old house. "

"...Huh?"

We laughed lightly on his confusion. I walked over and cupped his face with both hands.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

" It's time my love.. we starting our life right now. We need our own house khmm." - I looked at Anna on next to me." ..for several reasons. "

" Icantwaitmyloves."

Just like that...the anxiety in my heart lessened quite a bit.

We ate breakfast discussing today's to do list.

" Brother don't worry about anything. Me and a bunch of others heading back up. I doubt it.." - he lifted his hand as if surrendering. " But, I don't want the other animals to eat his body.. we might create more monsters."

Zephyr looked at his wife and nodded along with her. " That..is very smart big brother. Good thinking. Make sure to take enough man..the bastard could weigh..like a lot."

He agreed and finished his apple juice, kissed Demelza and left to gather man.

I was a little excited to see the monster I been hearing since childhood. Lucian wanted to go but Eli had other ideas.

" Stop!..you will not go there two days in a row. " - she grabbed his shirt and pushed him right down. " Sit down."

Oh sweet Lucian had no chance against my usually quite little sister. He obeyed and went back to his half finished egg, he didn't seemed all that disappointed.

His mother nodded approvingly at Eleanor.

Zephyr shared some buttered bread with our daughter. This moments were so tranquil and precious. I wanted to remember their butter covered faces forever.

I filled me with great hope being able at least take care of their breakfast in the mornings not much cooking involved there.

Once we finished granny gathered us in training ground where almost all the village was there to meet Zephyr and shake his hand.

I got annoyed real quick the looks other girls made at him.

Once feed up..I simply pulled him away and kissed him. He was surprised so were all those surrounded us.

I pulled away and smiled at those ugly little ducks. After that, I left with confidence, look at him all you want..he is already mine.

I sat near Demelza and Liz and watched granny disperse the crowd.

This little exhibition turned quite large in a minutes. Granny..you putting a lot of pressure on him.

To be honest, he didn't seem to mind one bit. Just as friendly and approachable like he always was. His charisma, his looks, his confidence was like a magnet.

" I can't wait..I mean a blessed in our village. It's like living in a fairy tail those travelling fellows performed for us." - Liz was super excited but, she whipped her head looking at me." ..Lylly, what can he do?"

I wanted to answer Liz but, I wasn't sure my self. He can disappear and reappear? Covering the sky maybe?

" Umm..I don't need tell. He soon show you."

Demelza looked me with knowing eyes. I mean how could, I possibly describe something like that?

Some of these people must think we knew everything about his ability since we lived with him.

It's been less than a day.

Granny was giving him some pepp talk.

" Zephyr don't overthink it..if you don't feel like it, just say so. We can always do it another time or place."

" That's considerate of you Vistellia but I.." - he looked off at the distance and smiled. ".. I feel like, I can do it. "

Granny left with only Lucian standing still.

Zephyr whispered something to him and he made a run for it. He smiled at me and Ilianna who took a seat in my lap. He looked confident as always.

Looks like, not a lot can shake him. Although I knew he had a resilient mind..I won't take my eyes of him. I need to see if his suffering before anyone else and be there for him.

Lucian returned with seemingly nothing.

He showed Zephyr the contents of his pocket. An apple.

I was just one of many I believe,who sincerely thought they just gonna munch on that apple. Zephyr whispered something to him again and walked away from a very eager Lucian.

What is he planning?

He stood a few feet from him and seemed to be in deep concentration. He had his back to us so I couldn't see his expression.

" NOW!"

Lucian stepped back and throw the apple as hard as he was able.

I saw it's trajectory and I returned my eyes just in time to see Zephyr taking a step forward and before his feet hit the ground he disappeared.

I blinked as others started a large commotion and by the time I opened my eyes he was back where he stood with the green apple in hand and causing large winds swirling near him.

The crowd cheered loud enough to hurt my ears.

Lucian and two other lifted him up in the air and carried him to the crowd like nobility. He laughed happily and accepted the love and admiration others showered him.

I couldn't believe what, I just witnessed.

He must had covered a 100 feet round trip in a second. I blinked and missed some of it. He indeed had power...and now everyone saw it. Theres no going back. His word from yesterday calmed my mind.

Blessed or not..he will never leave me.
