After embracing each other and feeling the lost warmth of each other after such a brutally long separation, Delphine finally noticed the faint shimmer of purple light drifting beside them… Grace.
"What's… that?"
Her voice softened with wonder as she curiously pointed toward a tiny fairy creature perched on Aether's shoulder like a glowing guardian.
She knew about fairies, heard stories about them, but this was her first time seeing one with her own eyes.
"Well…" Aether blinked slowly, still catching his breath from the reunion. "She is Grace and…" he hesitated, glancing at Grace, who rolled her eyes as if personally offended by the pause before loudly declaring,
"The one who governs Death!" She puffed her tiny chest forward with a proud, smug spark glittering in her purple wings.
Delphine's lips curled into a soft smile, "Governs Death? So cute…" She raised her finger gently toward Grace, wanting to pat her. "Is this your new pet—OUCH!"
