Just as it was to be, Selou was made to live with Ivan and his household.Although Ivan's father was highly disappointed, he couldn't cry over spilled milk. He had no choice but to accept it. At the back of his mind though, he wished to take a DNA test after the child was born. He was still unwilling to believe that his son could be responsible for it.Ivan's mother took it upon herself to take Selou to the hospital for antenatal care. Over time, she grew to accept the fact that she was going to become a grandmother quite early. Ivan could no longer leave his house through normal means. He hated the way the people of his neighborhood looked at him. Even when some of them wanted to hide it, their eyes still gave away the disdain they felt within. Because of this, Ivan's attitude towards Selou at home started to change for the worse. He hardly talked to her and when he talked it was usually to complain about something. Ivan also had to go look for a job. As for the university applicati

In the dark of the night. It was now that time of the year when green clouds appeared in the sky.Currently, on a particularly thick green cloud, Krene and Jurdelious stood side by side. Krene wore a pair of blue tight jean trousers with a black hoodie sweater along with a pair of black high-top shoes. Jurdelious wore the same thing except that instead of black, he had white shoes on."Ah! Hominid clothes are as comfy as always," Jurdelious said in his usual deep voice. Krene did not say anything, she just kept looking at the vast expanse of land that looked like green, brown, and black paintwork from high above.Jurdelious continued talking. "Do you know what I enjoy most these years?.. It's observing all these mortals, especially the humans. Their similar yet completely different way of life is always amusing to watch. If others were here, it'd be more fun to gamble."Once again, Krene just kept silent. She narrowed her eyes as she gazed with unbreakable concentration. If someone fol

In the kitchen of Jurdelious and Krene, Eva was washing the dishes while humming a soothing melody, her black hair tied neatly into a bun. Everyone just had their dinner, Jurdelious and her son were watching a movie in the living room while her two daughters were already asleep. Krene was nowhere to be found in the house, she was most likely in the back yard sitting on her favorite chair and staring at the night sky.*CLACK*The front door opened, producing a rusty sound that attracted the attention of Eva and Jurdelious. Walking through the door was Al'ravee who seemed to be absent-minded.Eva sighed in relief when she saw her husband. Earlier, Al'ravee had sent her a text that he was fine and just going to see an old friend, later he sent another text that said he was coming back home." Ravee, welcome home..." Eva was saying but stopped when she saw the troubled expression on Al'ravee's face. " How was your day, what's with the long face?"Al'ravee looked at her and opened his mouth

*Three Years Later* The news of Ivan's death quickly went under the bridge and after Al'ravee left, his thoughts were that the only reason he would have to come back was to bring his parents to live with him over there in his own house. After all, he originally wanted to get away from his parents in his early years but now, he really missed their presence, he missed his mother's nagging, he missed his father's gentle but intimidating gaze, and the scene of them always discussing something that no one ever knew. He wanted to spend some missed quality time with them before any unforeseen situation popped up. Too bad, Krene and Jurdelious had other plans.Just when the people of planet Green Cloud were celebrating the new year, Al'ravee received a call from home saying that his father Jurdelious... was dead.Many people ranging from neighbors to family friends, to former work colleagues were deeply saddened by the sudden departure of Jurdelious. Al'ravee as the only child was responsible

* In an unknown area*On a seemingly vast plain filled with bright green vegetation, a small wooden cottage stood firmly against the fresh and calm breeze. Inside the cottage was an empty living room with a brown bear rug next to a lit fireplace."Stylaff, why is your realm so dry and lacking activity? It has only one layer, you should make it more lively one of these days." A deep booming voice rang out from nowhere in particular place inside the cottage.*BUZZ*A particular space turned blurry for a moment and vibrated before a crooked figure blended into existence. It was an old woman who was putting on a fantastic and luxurious green gown. On her head filled with pristine white hair was a crown made from vines, adoring her wrinkled face was a pair of glowing lemon-green eyes that had green tear marks beneath them and on her elbows were brown thorns that tore through her sleeves like they were growing out of her arms.As she appeared, she gave a small bow and said.
