Chapter 7 - Act 7

Suddenly there was a huge thunder in the sky, dark clouds hovered over the earth and a huge zap of lightning struck the ground. A top a high mountain peak which was covered with snow as white as the clouds in heaven were suddenly struck by a golden coloured bolt, which made the ice-covered peak melt and causes the melted snow and ice to trickle down.

Out of the bright exuberant light stood a tall figure silhouette, long steel grey hair flowing with a golden halo on the crown of its head. Protruding out of its back were big luxurious golden and red feathers that looked like phoenix wings. It straightened forth its arms and boom another lightning bolt fell at its feet.

"Transform"

Lo and behold there was a harp-like shaped object which floated off the ground and into its hand.

"It's time to change Gonzo into a more suitable form, I don't want him been suspicious about me." It was her the one who was to keep a lookout for Ha-Joon's behaviour and demeanour.

"Woah woah .... what in the name of heaven .... ahhhh not again. Where in the name of Jupiter's have I landed? " Gonzo landed on earth but in a different location. Maybe her antenna's broke or her navigation went poof.

{Time Skips 3 years ahead Year 2028}

It has been three whole years since everything y/n had passed out from school and now was in her last year of university. She took up fashion and apparel designing and wanted an internship at a well-reputed brand. She had changed over the years, moved on from her past and lived live happily now. She didn't much care what people would talk or say to her.

Her main focus now was been scouted for a good company, but for that, she had to move to a bigger city in her country which meant living alone by herself and have no family around to support her or take care of her. She had to be responsible for her own health and safety.

"Alright... tomorrow is a big day the finals are here and I need to finish putting these stones on to my dress. I hope Mrs Payne will like this and grade me with a good score and then I'm finally done with all this college life." murmuring to herself contently.

As she carefully stuck each gemstone on her designed dress she felt a rush of accomplishment and determination. She didn't expect to top the college but she wanted to do well enough to be able to intern at a good brand. Her idea of design was derived from the daily life of her own and the people around her.

{Next Day}

" Alright people everyone needs to come up to the front and take a chit from the glass bowl on my table, that will be your number and without me saying anything you will sit in order. From there on out you will come up as per your designated numbers and model your dress or accessory. You will be judged on the basis of creativity, style, finishing and use of the resources that were given to you. Also, originality will play a big role. So let's go ." Mrs Payne spoke and directed all the students in the class to follow the instructions correctly.

As the day passed there were only six more students left before y/n, she was getting quite excited and could feel her head become warm with the feeling that was flowing through her mind and heart.

"Alright Miss Lee your up next. You five minutes to change into you're outfit. All the best ." Mrs. payne gave her a heads up.

{Five Minutes Later}

Y/n walked out in a beautifully crafted masterpiece that she created with the help of the only resources that was provided to her from the college and showed everyone that a little can be enough to create something elegant and robust at the same time.

She made a dress out of black velvet as the base , in a sweetheart neckline adding the Lilac colored stones which was given to her as material to accessorize it . She put all the stones from the bust area till the waist , then attaching the black sheer cloth as a support from the neck area into a boat shaped off shoulder neckline with a flowy cape. The remaining stones where used at the bottom portion of the dress as well as the to give a border to the caped.

The dress looked like a fairytail princess gown and as soon as she entered the class room everyone had eyes wide as flying saucers. The class of students started expressing how beautiful it looked.

"Wow .... Miss Lee this is beyond words . I think this is impeccably beautiful. Alright since we have come to the end of the day , everyone can drop off they pieces at the staff room and can finally go home. Results will be posted on the university website. So all the best to all of you." with that college finally ended now all that was left to do was to apply for internship .

{After a month }

The results finally came out and Y/n topped her college with a straight A because of her design. Now she was on her way to a really bright future . Everything in her life has finally turned out to be really good and she didn't ask for anything more from the universe. But the thing she was unaware about was always ;urking in hidden shadows. Every step of the way she has luck on her side and also had something called a nymph guardian.

Y/n had no idea that things like this even exisisted in the world like this and she continued her journey of life like any other woman in her early twenties. Far away in the village of Austria, Hallstat . It was an enchanting place and also a perfect place for supernatural phenomena to occur due to it dating back to 5000BC .

The highest peak was now home to Gonzo who resides in Hallstat as a human , nobody could make out the difference about her because she transformed into a beautiful woman who own a small coffee shop known as Fairy Dust.

Y/n was just a couple of hours away from Hallstat and was thinking hard whether she should go to the big city or just move here . There was this amazing brand called The White Cape who specialised in wedding attire . Y/n had her eyes on the brand for quite a while but was contemplating on whether to move to an expensive place as the city or just be wise and save money and become an intern for The White Cape .

She emailed applications to many different brands including The white cape and hoped that as per her pocket she should get the best place. This place was not that big in terms of strength of employees and interns but it was well reputed for been the best place for interning .

About a weak later , there was a letter that was sent to her parents house which her mom received it for her.

:Y/n Honey there is a letter for you ." as soon as she heard her mom's voice she rushed down to have a look.

Taking the letter from her mother's hand she opened it and her face lit up in pure happiness and excitement. She looked at her mom and said " OMG mom you wouldn't believe it if I said that my application for internship to The White Cape has been accepted and i have one week to relocate to Hallstat."

"Oh my sweet darling i am very proud of you. This calls for a celebration . Let me call your dad and brother ." her mother was just as much as overjoyed by the good news.

After a few hours her father and brother return home with so many gifts for y/n and had the uttermost joyful look on their faces. They also, had a surprise in form of news for her .

"My darling daughter i have some important news too ." her father patted her head .

"Oh wow dad . What is it? Im excited ." her eyes lit up.

"We're actually moving in a week too . Do you know where ?" her father wiggled his eyebrows.

"Ummm.... to the city ?" she said

"Nope we're moving to Hallstat." he blurted out and she has such a cute shocked expression on her face. She inaudible thanked her stars that after all she will still be with her family when she was interning.

"Omg dad and mom I'm so happy. But i have one question." she had a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Are we taking this brat too." pointing and her brother playfully knowning he will get offended.

"Yeah... I'm coming too . I need t be there to protect you lame ass ." pouts like a kid.

"Gosh you two will never change." then all of them group hugged eachother.

{Time Skips}

Finally after days of transporting all their belongings and renting out they house , they moved to Hallstat. Y/n started her internship after two days of relocating and everything was swell for her and her family. Things were changing for the better for her .

After about four days at The White Cape , she was acquainted with Josh Bennett who was a senior designer at the brand. He was originally born in London but was appointed to work here. His family were a mix of British from his maternal side and American from his paternal side.

"Thump"

There y/n lay fallen on the floor with a pile of different fabrics on top of her. Her hair ruffled over her face and she struggled to stand. People around her were laughing at her but that didn't faze her one bit. Her rule was simple (DON'T GIVE A FUK ABOUT THOSE WHO DON'T DESERVE IT.).

'Here let me help you up sweet pea." a pale long arm extended forwarded for her support. She grabbed on to it and balanced herself up onto her feet and stood there with a bit of cringe.

"Sweet pea ??? Josh omg for fucks sake don't call me that it's way to strange." she said shaking her head disappointed.

"Haha... why do you have get offended in the most cutest way ?" he giggled at her adorably swearing.

"Well since you put it that way how about you treat me today as punishment ." she grinned because she knew that Josh was fond of her . Even though they just met it felt like they have had a connection long before meeting.

It was a strange feeling but none of the made much of it. Later that day Josh booked a table at Fairy Dust at 7pm for both of them and waited until the evening when they got free from work.

{Time Skips to the Evening}

"Welcome to Fairy Dust where the tea brews and magic happens. Looking forward to serve you." Gonzo showed them to their seat. But as she walked them over to their reserved table a familiar silver thread could be seen dragging behind y/n.

Gonzo's harp started making a sound of rattling only she could hear. So she excused herself and went into the back room closing the door behind her and disappearing into an invisible portal.

"Mistress.... This is not good i feel like my strings are burning in flames, a strange presence and scent lingers close by ." the harp speaks for the first time.

"Transform" Gonzo commanded.

The harp transformed into a handsome young man .

"I have already felt it . They must be a leak in realms but we still need to stay alert. Also , remember if anyone ask who you and I are you shall say you're name is Ryori and I'm Yuki and were from Japan. Do you understand?" gonzo aka now Yuki directed him.

"Yes , big sister you wish is my command." he respectfully bowed his head .

As he went out into the service area he looked around and everyone seemed to be dazed but for y/n she seemed to not be affected . She was rather confused what was happening. Ryori was invisible for a moment and walked up to y/n and tried to daze her again but it didn't work. He eventually saw the silver string hanging behind her.

He quickly went back into the back room and reported it to Yuki .

"This is not good after service hours we need to keep watch on her . I command you to be my ears and eyes ." she commanded him.
