While going up the stair, Adora smiled at Alix and she couldn't help but stare at him and he glanced at her then smiled and she turned away, looking at the stairs.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the top and Adora got off of Alix's back and looked around at how beautiful the shrine area was, Alix exhaled deeply and she glanced at him, feeling bad for having him carry her.

Alix tapped Adora on her shoulder and she looked at him and he pointed to the shrine, then she sighed as he went towards it and she followed him there.

Alix glanced at Adora and she looked at him before sighing and he placed her hands together and she scoffed.

"Go ahead, ask for whatever you want," he said and she smiled before closing her eyes as did he.

Alix knew Adora was not one to visit a shrine and she hardly got to know about certain things and he intended to let her have the best of it all.

While they were praying, Adora couldn't help but think of the past as did Alix and when they were both finished.

Adora opened her eyes and she looked at her right hand and sighed, then Alix glanced at her and placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him before smiling.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I just haven't done this since I was a child," she responded before looking away from him and he smiled at her.

"Well, are you glad you came now?" he asked and she looked at him.

"With you? Yes, I am glad I came," she responded and he chuckled then looked up at the night sky and saw that the color began changing, he remembered what Nina showed him on the phone and then looked at the other path beside the shrine.

He grabbed onto Adora's hand and she flinched as he walked away, taking her along with him and she wondered where they were going and why he was taking the next path.

"Alix, where are we going?" she asked and he smiled.

"I was given the perfect place to go with you, I wanted to see it and I wanted you to see it as well," he responded and she sighed before smiling.

'I wonder what it is that he wanted me to see as well, this place sure is beautiful so...' she thought while looking at the fireflies that were flying between the trees they passed by.

After a few minutes of walk, they arrived at an opening that overlooked a few places and was close to the waterfall nearby and there was even a ride below, where the river was.

There were benches there and one had the perfect view of the hills beyond there as well as the other things around them.

"This place looks beautiful," Adora said as she looked at the clouds surrounding the hills before them. Alix smiled before sitting down on one of the benches and she sat beside him.

"I asked the others for half an hour time after midnight, they will be doing the firework show for the park at midnight and a few things will be happening just before then we will leave, sounds good?" he asked and she nodded then he sighed.

"Alix, what's going to happen? There is only a little bit of time before midnight," she asked and he looked at the time, then smiled before pointing to the sky and her eyes shimmered when the clouds began changing colors.

Both of them stood up and Alix noticed that near the shrine, which was not far from them a lot of people had gathered as well as the other openings around them and people were not that far away from them either but at the perfect spot, it was only them.

The clouds in the sky lit up with different colors and different magical creatures began flying by in the sky and it looked more than just magical.

There were many creatures and the sky shimmered with the different colors.

While staring at it, both Alix and Adora felt a certain warmth within them and they held onto each other's hand.

Alix glanced at their hands, then at the watch on his wrist and a smile appeared on his face when he noticed it was nearing midnight.

"Alix, this is beautiful, did they plan this?" she asked.

"Yeah, they wanted to do a slight show before the fireworks, oh and I got this idea from Nina so, the others are here as well, different parts of course," he responded and she chuckled.

"Of course, they are," she said and he chuckled.

"Aodra, do you like the surprise?" he asked and she glanced at him then smiled.

"I don't just like it Alix, I love things like this, it makes you feel something that you might not have felt in quite some time, don't you think?" she asked and his eyes widened a little.

"Yeah... You are right, it does make you feel something that you haven't felt in a while," he responded and she nodded.

"I am glad you brought me here today, Alix, I truly am, I haven't felt anything like this in a long time, I forgot what it's like, that's why I truly am happy today," she said with a bright smile on her face and he left staring at her.

'Even I haven't felt this way, like ever, her smile, it's genuine, even I am happy despite everything that's going on,' Alix thought as the alarm on his watch began going off like crazy and Adora opened her eyes.

He got closer to her and she squeezed his hand as she felt his warm, minty breath brush against her and her eyes shimmered as Alix smiled at her.

The fireworks began going off and they both looked at it as its colors reflected in their eyes and they smiled brightly at the beautiful colors before their eyes.

To them, it seemed as though their lives had lit up that night.

"Alix," Adora said and he looked at her then she leaned in closer and kissed him on his lips and his eyes widened before glowing red, then he closed his eyes and placed his hand on her waist and the markings on their bodies lit up, slightly.
