Put Out My Fire - Chapter 172

Two months after Esmée gave birth, they finally arranged their wedding.

Exactly where Amanda and Christopher wed, Orion and Esmée held their wedding ceremony by the biggest lake in Aeros. As it was the biggest event in years, they were graced with more of Pelagy’s visitors, coming from the other lands.

Moreover, with Agatha there, they also had visitors from the moon and that of the earth.

Esmée no longer invited her family. She felt there was no need for it, as they never even looked for her. Nonetheless, she did not care anymore. She was happy with Orion and her family.

It was a sunny day in the nation, but because Agatha wanted her grandson’s wedding to be special, she cast magic around the lake and froze the surface of the water.

With the help of whatever was left of the master’s powers, they let the skies snow, just enough for when Esmée would walk down the aisle.

Decorative trees lined up in between the aisle for where Esmée would make her long walk. These same trees sprung white little flowers that resembled cherry blossoms.

As the music played, coming from the instruments behind the crowd, a set of curtains from behind finally opened.

There came Esmée, dressed in all white. Her gown was patterned with small flower lace. Her beautiful face radiated with only very little make-up on. Her hair formed into a bun from behind her head and white crystals embellished her glossy hair.

She walked in with beautiful white flowers, accented with orange and light blue buds.

As the snowflakes began to fall, Esmée felt chills all over, but at the same time, she saw the enchantment in everything. The falling white snow was a blessing, a way to shower her with new memories as she would take on another role in her life.

That day, she would be Orion’s new bride.

She had nothing but smiles as she made the trail to Orion.

In the middle of her entrance, she saw her dashing husband be in white overalls. His suite somewhat hugged his body, still reflecting this godly shape.

Esmée thought Orion’s blue eyes gleamed brighter in each step she took. She, therefore, concluded that her beloved was madly in love with her.

She chuckled, lingering around that thought. Of course, she already knew this.

When she made her way in front of Orion, she could tell he wanted to kiss her outright. However, like her, he held back, waiting for the ceremony to end.

Only when the officiant began the ceremony, did the snow stopped from falling.

A peaceful and heart-warming silence engulfed the land for nearly an hour as the wedding took place and towards the end, Orion and Esmée exchanged their promises to love each other until their very last breath.

Following their vows, the newlywed couple shared the sweetest kiss in front of the crowd, tickling the hearts of many as to how earnestly they absorbed in each other’s taste.

They practically kissed for nearly two minutes, granting several giggles from the guests, especially from Amanda and Christopher.

From the Red Dragon Star, Vermithrax saw through Orion’s eyes the celebration of their union. He liked to his head, telling him that it was time for Esmée to meet him face to face.

Orion and Esmée had a two-week honeymoon, spending their days on earth, under the sunny skies of Thailand.

They returned only to settle in Aeros for a day before Orion finally brought Esmée outside the borders of Aeros. It was there that he called for his sea serpent, Bashe, Akurra’s brother.

How Orion bled to call on Bashe frightened Esmée, but she was even more scared at the sight of the beastly sea-serpent.

“I bow to thee, the wife of my master,” told Bashe, snaking his body to a stance, clearly visible to Esmée. “Fear not, lady Esmée, for I am your loyal beast – at your will and that of your sons to come.”

It took some time for Esmée to feel at ease and just when she did, Orion said to her, “It’s time to meet my dragon and the star we will live upon – my future land and the land of our children to come.”

“Sound so serious,” Esmée could not help but remark.

For many months now, Orion had been prepping her about moving to another habitat, where the dragon star race came about. She was made to understand that the dragon god required him to reproduce, and the same was expected of her children to come.

It was another land that Orion was bound to rule.

“Okay. Am I going to be shocked, again?” Esmée probed, putting a hand on her chest.

Orion chuckled along with Bashe’s audible laugh before he told, “Bashe is more sizable than Vermithrax. Just set the expectation that he is a fire-breathing dragon.”

“Right. Right,” said Esmée. “Fire-breathing dragon.”

Orion called for his grandmother. Only Agatha can bring them to different worlds… now that the masters of the earth have nearly lost their power.

Agatha brought Orion and Esmée through a wormhole, taking them to the Red Dragon Star where Vermithrax awaited.

The first thing Esmée saw was the monstrous dragon beast. She ignored her surroundings even the warm temperature of the star. Like how she was with Bashe, Esmée was completely in awe, seeing a creature, she thought only existed in fantasy.

“Greetings, lady Esmée. Thank you for coming all the way to see me and the land of which you and Orion will fill with children,” said Vermithrax before he paved the way, gesturing his hand behind him.

It was there where Esmée saw the said star – the land that they were supposed to rule and live in the future.

Her jaws practically dropped at the sight of… nothing but structures of buildings. There was no single person living in the land.

Esmée leaned over to Orion and asked, “There is no one to rule here, Orion.”

“Yes, that is right, my love. We will fill this land with our children and grandchildren. Our children will do the same and so will my younger brothers,” Orion proudly announced. “Until then, it’s just the two of us, Aiden and Eiran.”

Esmée’s face paled. She now realized Orion was serious about making lots of children. She asked awkwardly, “You – you are kidding me… right?”

***

In the few months that followed, the crystals of the earth had found their new hosts. The previous masters of the earth finally lived their lives as normal beings, but they could never forget the journey they once had as powerful humans.

The masters remained connected with each other through Agatha and occasionally met at special celebrations.

While their days of fighting were over, they were happy to learn that magic existed on earth and from the neighboring worlds.

When tragedy would strike again, they would only be spectators, hoping that the new masters would form the same strength and bond as they did.

A year after Orion’s wedding, Esmée gave birth to another twin and as they were building a family, Orion continued to overhaul the Red Dragon Star through magic.

In the years that followed Amanda and Christopher ruled the Areos, but with their own parents not losing their youth, Agatha also granted them the essence of the moon serpent. By the time Theo and her would end their rule, it would be Amanda and Christopher’s time to look over the moon.

Conflicts and endeavors remain true surrounding Aeros, but with the collective powers they had acquired, Christopher and Orion remained undefeated throughout their battles.

In time, they meant to pass on the same strength to their young.
