The two little ones on top of the bed gaped in wonder. Lili could not believe what happened. Even the usual cold and expressionless Alban at the moment present a very amusing sight.
He had his mouth agape and his eyes showed his astonishment. What kind of supernatural event just occurred? Even though he was the first to have thought of the possibility that they were transported to that place by means of Lili's tattoo, it was just fluke mentality.
Because he could not find another clue and the only strange thing that happened was when the two of them touch the blue pendant tattoo, he thought that the last thing they did may help discover another point.
When his and Lili's consciousness was drawn into that vast still space, his mind have already gone overdrive, but his stoic face and the experiences he had accumulated over the course of his life as an assassin and the hardship of the last days, he managed to swiftly adjust his emotions.
But still, with the exposure of Lili and his space that was contained in their pendant tattoos ,It refreshed and rebuild all his world views that was slowly recovering after his unexplainable rebirth .
From this moment on, he decided.
Whatever happens,whichever supernatural events decided to occur right in front of his eyes, he will not be surprised, astonished, or confused. He will take it at face value.
Lili at this moment also quickly recover. With a mother like Felicia who likes to read various novels and drag her mere toddler of a daughter to read with her to the po
int that it was regarded as Lili's bedtime stories(to which now Alban suffers as he sleeps with Lili) and the unique brain circuits she had managed to bestow upon Lili through the inheritance of genes, Lili had a very strong resistance to strange events.
"Big brother, I'm very sure that what we have is the legendary save that male leads and female leads have in Mama's novels. Do you think we can be as awesome as them? "Chirped Lili to her Big brother, her eyes shining as she clasped Alban's hands.
Alban smiled and poked Lili's white forehead. He shook his head and said.
"Get your head out of the cloud. What male and female leads. We are not like those omnipotent beings. There are no such as person with a leading role that everyone and their lives revolve on. Remember ,all are masters of their own lives. Okay, Lili? "
Alban advised Lili, trying to instill life lessons in her little head. Lili admiringly gazed at Alban.
What a mature beautiful big brother she has! She must have done good deeds in her last life that heavens decided to bestow her such a wonderful big brother!
"Uhm, I and Big brother are the main leads of our own story, and everyone is the lead of their own story. So,Big brother, what will be our genre? " Lili asked as she lay down and put her face on her hands, tilting her head that stare at her Big brother.
Alban, who was going to pat his little sister's head as he usually does whenever he can't bear her cuteness, paused.
In his mind flashed the scenes of the End of the World. With corpses, with monsters and beasts ,ruined cities, stinking bodies, cries and curses of the damns, hunger and desperation.
His body stagnated. His handsome face grew heavy as mixed emotions crossed his eyes.
Lili looked at her Big brother, confused as to what made her big brother's face go bad. She lifted her body and crawled towards Alban, putting her body in his arms as she snuggled to him.
"Big brother, what are you thinking? "She asked as she rubbed her checks against his. Alban also copied her actions naturally.
"Lili, if someday the End of the World is here, and there will be monsters that will come eat you, or that Dad, Mom, and me will become monsters, what will you do, will you be afraid?"
Lili knotted her eyebrows,thinking.
" I will be afraid. I do not want you or Mama and Papa to become monsters. I will cry to death. But I will fight other monsters that wants to eat me. If there is a scary end of the world, I want to always be together, with Big brother, Mama, and Papa, forever, and fight monsters! "
Alban laughed and put his head on Lili head.
Yes, he now has a family. When the End really comes, he will do his best to protect his new found loved ones. As someone who had died once, and had died in his own hands, he is not afraid of death. What he fears most is losing his family, losing his reason of life he finally managed to get.
Alban's eyes flashed as his decision was made. Three years from now is the beginning of the catastrophe. When he died, the end of the end was not yet seen.
Thinking of Lili and his space, he feel happy. These are our family's trump card to survive. When Dad and Mom came back from work, I will talk to Dad.
Alban decided. He now fully trust his new family and he fully consider himself a member of the Lu.
Lili and Alban snuggled for a while. Then decided to check again their space. Lili can "see" Alban's space, but can only last for a few seconds. While both of them can go back and forth in Lili's space, which they did many times, making them dizzy.
The most important thing is that both of their space can store things. Alban and Lili decided that Alban's space is a space where time remains still.
They prove it by putting ice creams and microwaved dishes in it. And when Alban took it out after a couple of hours, it was still in the same state as it once was.
Foodie Lili and Alban was delighted. It is a very good thing for them! If they can't finish the food they are eating, they can put it in to eat at a later date.
Alban slobbered. Thinking about it, he still has three years to experience the world of food and culinary,and three years to collect all of those he and his family fancies. Just thinking about it made him have a favorable feeling about his space.
Lili also thinks about her space. She can put things in her stance, and take them out. But the space's time is not still and the time runs the same as outside, so it have no preserving function
The soil and water in the space cannot be taken out, to which the siblings find out. The only thing they began take out is the ones they have taken in. They theorized that maybe Lili's space can be planted due to the presence of the rich soil and water, but they still can't prove it so they put a plant taken from the balcony and planted it for observation. They just have to wait for the result.
Lili hopes it is so. She wants to have a farm with lots of food. She can have delicious fruits and lots of rice and potatoes and other things. Maybe, they can also raise farm animals! Lili ducked her saliva as she imagines.
After the tossing of the two children, many hours have passed They grew hungry so Alban made a simple dinner which they gobbled up. They also feel sleepy, so they hurriedly took a bath and climbed their bed. Minutes later, only the soft breathing sound was heard.
Downstairs, the door opened to reveal Aldrich and Felicia, their faces wreathe with smiles as they expect their two children to greet them as they always did after they return from work.
They are puzzled when no greeted them. The two of them proceeded to the stairs, going to their children's bedroom to take a look.
The picture of peaceful faces of the cute children as they sleep melted their hearts as they embraced each other and continue to look at the babies. The afternoon sunlight filtering through the curtain completed the picture of the happy family asit shine on them.
