Time do move on quickly this winter in Capaldi as if it is running from something inevitable. Since their first day, life get busier than before. But Dylan was most busier person than Lena and Gibb despite that he took sometime off to fulfil whatever Lena desires.
Each day they waited for some news from Evelyn who had been absent from view since the anniversary of incident.
20th of January, Stellar Year 2924
It was Monday morning, in Capaldi when a letter came with some news. A full fledged winterish morning accompained snow and cold winds that howls.
It was a morning just like others. Dylan woke up before the dawn and watched Lena sleeping in his arms for sometime, than he carefully slip off to work.
By Dawn of new day, Dylan has already worked out and completed his report.
Dylan stand before the window in lounge, sipping his morning coffee. He was constantly reminded of all events that take place in last year. With faint sound of door bell, continuous track of memories stopped. Dylan looked at time piece and get surprised to know that the deliver service was this early. The door opened and soon get closed. "There is post for you Master Dylan." in his robotic voice, Style told Dylan.
He don't remember for how long ago he received the post. Wasn't it a childhood thing that still looks mesmerizing or was it fear that rooted deep inside him, making him afraid... Afraid of something...
a thought rings inside his mind.
[Go and announce that me, Dylan Al'Xander is finally afraid of something.]
He wanted to laugh at himself, at how silly he sounds but he move to lounge.
As he opened the post, sitting on the couch, his heart was beating loudly, perhaps outside the rib cage.
He hears nothing but the loud ranging, the excitement babbling up, silent whispers that lingers and happiness that finaly crawl in his body. The letter was anonymous but by the writing, the old parchment, the scribbling at various space, he recognized them.
And it brings to him nothing more or less but moment of pure joy. He read it once ,twice and thrice before closing it carefully.
Dear Dylan Al'Xander,
A good friend, I loved to spend time with. I'm settled in Leal, a City located in the north most conner of Arizone. Leal means Faithful and Pure. The name is given by some Folk Master.
The thing that catches my eyes is that: just like the name, people of this city are so pure and faithful. It's still a mystery to me how is this possible in present day world?
I haven't told you this perhaps, that despite being the coldest city on the face of Blue Plannet, I feel warmth here or it is as if I'm surrounded by a familiar warmth..
Let's get down to your work before I get carried away. " there was a cute annotation here.
Dylan smiles but he turn the page and began to read once again.
"I have been asking around about what you have asked me in your last visit to Kingstonë. At first I wasn't given any trustworthy answers about both yet but as the research gets down to depth, finally there is a lead. Off course, all of this is being done in very secretive way. I have pinned some photographs with this from some rare books that I find in City Hall, do check them. "
Dylan stop and looked for the photograph, when he found them,And place on coffee table with sequence. Dylan studied them for a while before continuing the letter.
"So, this was your work and now let me tell you how and why I finally settled down here.
I have done two rounds of Leal before, once last year and second was when you wanted to visit me in Kingstonë.
Last year, I come to know about existence of an old city on the face of world and started to search for it. During all the histories, the city changes but it's name that revolve around meaning Faith and pure. By some accident I came here. And I can't describe the beautiful scenery of Leal. Finally I have settled here.
As greedy Lorphs can be, now I'm greedy for a thing.
I want you both, you and Lena to visit this city someday. Say "Hi" to her.
Will you write back?
Dylan?
Your's Only,
Evelyn. "
As Dylan read her given name only, a thought automatically came to him
"Still on rebellion"
under her name was some scribbling.
P. S:
Dylan it's Winter there? I just remember some memories, Nostalgia isn't? It come back around this time of year?
