Chapter 2 A Wish

• That's enough of your drama, and today is our day of rejoicing!" Grandma sighed when she saw Seraphine crying.
• "Your grandma is right. I'm only allowing you to have fun because it's your birthday. After this, you will start the more brutal practice," Teacher Mayer said with a smile as he handed her his drawing.
• Seraphine sighed and let go of the hug, "I hope you don't remind me of the training you're preparing," she muttered and looked at the drawing. She was stunned. Then Seraphine looked at Teacher Mayer with questioning in her eyes.
• "Didn't you like it?" Teacher Mayer raised an eyebrow as he sat in the living room, arranging the decorations grandma and aunt had brought.
• "What did your teacher draw?" Grandma asked as she took the drawing in Seraphine's hand.
• "Wow, teacher Mayer, how did you draw me so beautifully" Grandma exclaimed excitedly.
• Mara, who was busy cooking, quickly approached and looked at the drawing, and like her mother, she was also pleased to see her face.
• "Teacher John, your skill in drawing is tremendous. It's an honor to be painted by the legend," Mara asserted, then returned the drawing to Seraphine. Then she returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.
• Seraphine sat down next to teacher Mayer, "Are they my parents?" she asked while staring at the two faces in the drawing.
• "Yes, but since I haven't seen them in a long time, I'm not sure what they look like," Mayer responds and smiles.
• "Thank you so much. At least I have an idea of what my parents look like," sadness wrapped Seraphine's face as she stared at the two faces.
• "Child, don't worry, and I assure you you will see them. The training I am doing is preparing for your release into the world where many trials await you," Teacher Mayer explained as he patted her back.
• Seraphine stared again at the faces of the two people she had long dreamed of seeing. Although Teacher Mayer had already told her why they had to split up, she still had other questions that Teacher Mayer could not answer.
• ..........
• "Aunt Mara, I'm not comfortable in my clothes," Seraphine complained as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
• "Seraphine, you're sixteen now, but I haven't seen you wear a dress! I'm buying you a dress, but I haven't even seen you wear them!" Mara complains while fixing her long-shinny-black hair.
• Seraphine sighed and let her aunt do what she wanted with her hair and face.
• They were in front of the mirror for an hour when Aunt Mara finished fixing her makeup and hair. "Seraphine, you are so beautiful! If you had grown up with us, I would always make you gorgeous," she commented while staring at Seraphine's reflection in the mirror.
• Seraphine looked at herself in the mirror and frowned as she saw her reflection, "Is that me?" she couldn't believe it; the woman in the mirror looked like an angel with a gentle face.
• "I can't believe the speed of time. Next year, you will be able to see your mate, so you should also learn to take care of yourself," Mara added as she helped her stand.
• "Aunt Mara, how can I see my mate if I'm just here on the hill and the only one I see is Teacher Mayer?" Seraphine replied, laughing as she pulled her aunt out of the room.
• "That's what we should talk about later. I won't let you not find your mate just because of your training," Mara declared before they left the room.
• Seraphine's smile faded when she saw the reaction of grandma and teacher Mayer. "Do I look weird?" she asked, seeing teacher Mayer frowning.
• "Yes, you look weird," Teacher Mayer asserted.
• "Teacher! Don't say that! Seraphine might believe you! My angel, you look stunning," Grandma approached Seraphine and guided her to the table to blow out the candle.
• "My granddaughter, even if you don't wear make-up and nice dresses, you are still the most beautiful girl in my eyes," teacher Mayer said while sitting at the table.
• "Did those words come from my teacher? Gosh! I would believe it!" Seraphine giggles as she looks at everyone. During her time with teacher Mayer, he rarely praised her appearance.
• Laughter filled the whole household.
• They started the little party by singing and blowing out candles. Then they sat together and shared the dishes wholeheartedly prepared by Grandma Sarah and Aunt Mara for her birthday. Although Seraphine's parents were not by her side, it did not make her sad. Because the three with whom she grew up were loving and thoughtful.
• When the dinner was over, Seraphine rested outside the house and looked at the moon, which was incandescent. She pulled out teacher Mayer's drawing and stared at it happily.
• "To the Goddess of the moon, I hope my family is reunited. That's been y only wish since childhood. And until now you still don't give it to me. But I'm not grumping; the time will come. And you will grant my request as well, " Seraphine whispered as she held up the picture and stared at the moon.
• Inside the house, Teacher Mayer, Sarah, and Mara are talking seriously.
• "Teacher Mayer, Seraphine is sixteen years old, and at this age, she can find her mate," Mara retorted.
• "I know, but Seraphine is not ready... On her eighteen birthday... At that time, I will allow her to leave the mountain and seek her destiny," Teacher Mayer said while looking at Seraphine, who was then seriously looking at the moon.
• "Teacher Mayer is right... Seraphine is no ordinary wolf. When she leaves this mountain, she will face many trials, especially when everyone finds out that she is the child who possesses the blood of our god," Sarah uttered anf sign.
• "Now, I'm preparing for her first change that will take place at the next full moon. Because no one knows what the difference is between a wolf with the blood of a god," Teacher Mayer asserts.
• "Let's just pray that she doesn't suffer," Sarah states.
• The three looked at Seraphine. The concern for the child they have been protecting since birth is reflected in their eyes.
