My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

"Does it look good?"

Xanthea finished drawing and lay on his chest, looking down at her work with a satisfied amille.

Orion looked at her adorable, enchanting smile and nodded.

-It looks good.

"If it looks good, you have to keep it there and not wipe it off, okay?"

Okay.

He would always keep the mark there.

A gust of evening breeze swept through, causing the pink and white begonia flowers to fall and flutter down onto the little girl's dark eyebrows, making her look as beautiful as a flower fairy Orion was mesmerized and leaned in slightly closer.

Suddenly, Xanthea pointed excitedly towards the night sky, "Orl, look, a shooting star!"

He looked up to see the night sky filled with dazzling streaks of light, like fairies waving their magic wands, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

*Make a wish! Quick, make a wish!"

"My mom says that when a shooting star passes by, any wish can come true!""

As if afraid of missing the moment, she quickly covered his eyes Under the vast night sky, two small figures made the same wish upon the shooting star I want to be with Ori forever.

I want to be with Xannie forever.

"Ring, ring, ring."

The smartwatch buzzed, signaling it was time to head back home as called by the housekeeper.

Packing up her little backpack, Xanthea was startled to find a fluffy caterpillar on her dress, which made her freak out, "Ahhh-there's a bug! A bug! A bug!"

Orion swiftly moved to catch the bug for her.

However, Xanthea, unable to control her panic, started jumping around in an attempt to shake it off, nearly slipping and almost falling down the small flower hill.

"Xannie, be careful!"

In a split second, Orion pounced on her.

Both of them were safe but stunned.

Xanthea blinked her big eyes full of confusion. Did she just hear things? Did On speak?!

He could speak?

Orion himself was in disbelief.

"On, did you just talk?"

It had been so long since he had spoken, Orion felt awkward getting up, pretending as if nothing had happened, But Xanthea wouldn't let it go, her eyes bearing with joy as she tugged at his sleeve and spun around, "You spoke! You finally spoke!"

She knew he wasn't mute!

Orion shook his head.

"You're lying: you clearly spoke

"I heard it, Ori. Your voice is so nice. Can you call me Xannie again, please? Pretty please?"

"Ori! Ori!"

Xanthes held his hand all the way, laughing and acting spoiled, leg the boy defenseless but to comply with her wish.

"Yeah."

"Ori, did you give that iris to Xan? Did she like it? Did you guys have fun

He didn't expect an answer and continued asking as usual. E But to his surprise Orion nodded halfway through. "Yes."

The words fell, and Theodore was stunned as if struck by lightning, and then tears of deep emotion welled up En in his eyes.

After more than a year, Ori had finally spoke again.

From that day on, Orion and Xanthea became inseparable best friends.
