Chapter 563: How beautiful
“This way, please,” one of the four girls in the staff uniform interrupted Arabel from her thoughts. She led her to a door leading to a dark room.
Arabel glanced at the dark space inside the room and turned to the girl who was smiling at her professionally.
“Please come in,” the girl said.
Arabel, with some hesitation, stepped inside.
As soon as she crossed the threshold, the door disappeared behind her, and she found herself in pitch darkness.
Startled, Arabel stepped back, but then a ripple of light passed under her feet, like a wave that illuminated everything around her and, slowly fading, began to disappear.
Startled, Arabel stepped back, but immediately a round ripple of light appeared under her feet, like a wave that illuminated everything around and slowly faded away, disappearing.
While Arabel was mesmerized by the light, a fire lit up in the distance, attracting her attention.
When the wave of light completely disappeared, Arabel took a step forward, and once again, round ripples appeared under her feet, as if she had stepped on water.
Mesmerized, Arabel took a second step, then a third. With every step she took, ripples of light appeared, and she felt as if she was walking on the surface of water.
At about the tenth step, Arabel noticed that something flashed under her feet, except for the ripples. Looking down, she saw a dozen fish following her step.
“Am I standing above the water?” thought Arabel, stopping and looking at the beautiful colorful fish she had never seen, which somehow reminded her of koi.
The fish began to circle around Arabel’s feet, causing waves of ripples that illuminated her surroundings, creating a play of light.
“How beautiful,” — Arabel said, mesmerized, looking at this sight.
After admiring it for a while, Arabel continued on her way, and with each step the dark space around her began to fill with light, and the flickering light grew closer and closer. Fresh chapters posted on novel•fire.net
Arabel soon realized what kind of light it was that attracted her so much.
It was a candle burning alone in the center of a round table with a white tablecloth and two exquisite sets of dishes.
When she was only a short distance away from the table, Arabel noticed a figure appear in front of her. When she saw him, she stopped in amazement.
When she found out who it was, her face lit up with a bright smile, and her cheeks blushed.
Idan, who had also noticed Arabel, froze, as if mesmerized by her new appearance. In his eyes, she had always been beautiful, but now, in that white dress, with her hair and makeup carefully arranged, she looked simply gorgeous.
Arabel, in turn, was amazed by Idan’s new outfit. He was not wearing the black suit he had come in earlier, but a brand new one that was much better than the previous one.
When their eyes met, as if by magic, a soft romantic melody began to play, filling their hearts with happiness.
The fish that followed Arabel and the fish under Idan’s feet rushed towards each other. They merged into one joint and began to circle around the table, as if lighting up their meeting.
Idan and Arabel took a step towards each other at the same time.
“Belle, you’re just incredibly beautiful,” Idan said, unable to take his eyes off Arabelle.
The blush on Arabel’s cheeks became even brighter after hearing such a compliment. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach, and her smile grew even wider.
“You look great too,” she praised Idan.
Arabel’s praise made Idan remember the events that happened before he came here. He mentally thanked the person who had given him this outfit, as well as the middle-aged man who had helped him clean up.
Idan and Arabel didn’t notice how some time had passed while they stood in front of each other, as if spellbound. It was only when the melody ended that they both heard the clink of glasses and turned their attention to the table.
It was only then that they remembered why they had come here.
They both smiled at each other, and when the chairs at the table moved without anyone’s help, as if inviting them to sit down, they looked at each other and sat down opposite each other.
And then the first magic that caught their attention began.
The fish began to swim away, and their surroundings began to engulf the darkness again.
Only a single candle illuminated them until the night sky shone above their heads with numerous bright stars and a single bright night star that reminded Idan and Arabel of the Moon from their world.
And once again, a completely new melody began to play.
Bright flowers began to appear from the darkness around the table, as if from the water where fish had recently swam. When they opened, small balls of light began to appear from them, which slowly rose to the sky.
Arabel and Idan watched in silence, mesmerized.
Some of the balls of light remained floating in the air, while others shot up, merging into one large ball of light.
When all the balls combined into a single whole, the quiet, calm melody changed to a new one. The ball of light broke up into many birds, which began to circle in the sky.
Then the birds turned into magical beasts. Idan and Arabel recognized them as creatures resembling a dragon, phoenix, foxes, deer, and many others. All the animals were dancing to the tune.
This light show lasted for some time, and at the end it ended with a dance of two figures — a man and a woman, which ended with a kiss.
Arabel was mesmerized by the light show and couldn’t help but applaud enthusiastically, clapping her hands.
Even Idan seemed impressed, joining Arabel’s applause.
When the show ended, the candle in the center of the table disappeared, and in its place appeared several candles on both sides. A plate with a light snack materialized in front of Idan and Arabel with little effect.
After her, a bottle with a red drink appeared, which, moving independently, began to fill the glasses of both.
Idan and Arabel were both watching in surprise. When it was over, they looked at each other and began to have a candlelit dinner.
