538: WHITE LIGHTS

WHITE LIGHTS

In normal circumstances, it was not appropriate for Iris to hug another man like she did with Joel, but she had never seen him in that way and she did it instinctively, the only thing in her mind was; how to comfort this young warrior.

Joel looked devastated, with him being moved out of this room, it meant there was no hope for his legs and it was confirmed.

In his entire life, he only dreamed of how to be a great warrior and defended his pack from their enemies, even if he had to die, he wanted to die like his father, who died in the battlefield. 

Probably, it would be better if he died when he was in the mountain along with the other young warrior, instead of being a burden to this pack. 

He didn't want to cry, especially in front of Iris, but he couldn't help it. His luna had this calming scent that could ease his nerves and lower his guard down. It felt so comforting to be held like this when you were about to crumble apart. 

"I don't want to move out, luna…" Joel cried. Probably, this was the first time, he shed tears in front of anyone. He looked so vulnerable. He was so young, his future was ahead of him, but now he had to come into term that he could no longer use his legs and the fact dreaded him. 

"It's okay… it's okay…" Iris stared at her finger tips. 

"I want to be able to fight for my pack, not to be a burden…"

For that, Iris knew how it felt. Not long ago, she was also very desperate to be useful and not to be a burden. To a certain level, Iris knew how Joel was feeling right now. 

However, suddenly Joel's body stiffened, he stopped crying abruptly because he felt this strange sensation, as if there was someone blanketed his body with a warm and thick cloak. He pushed his body slightly away from Iris in confusion and saw these little lights, like fireflies that filled this room, only it was the color of white. 

"Lu… luna…" Joel was shocked, he was not sure whether these lights were a good thing or not. "Wh- what is this? Go, luna! Leave the room!" 

His first instinct was to save Iris, just in case these little lights were harmful, but because he was not able to move, the only thing he could do was to push Iris away from him and nudged her toward the door. 

"Someone! Someone come! Please, save the luna!" Joel became frantic when the white lights came surrounding them. 

On the other hand, the seven warriors, who had been standing outside of the door, burst into the room and was flabbergasted to see what was going on. 

"What happened here!?" 

Because the bedroom was too small, thus only three of them, who could squeeze inside and watched what was going on. It was Eron, Dyne and Zephyr, they watched how the little light filled the room like a snowflake and tearful Joel looked horrified. 

"Take Luna away from this room!" He was not sure what happened, but there was a high possibility this light could be dark magic or something and he was worried for the luna's safety. 

Yet, Iris stopped them, she raised both of her hands and showed the fact that the lights came from her, as they were flabbergasted. 

"What is happening?" Dyne muttered under his breath. 

Aside from Eron, none of them had ever witnessed such thing, as he remembered this was the same lights that the luna had created in order to calm the spirit of the fallen warriors when they found her in the mountain. 

"It's okay, it's the luna…" Eron immediately grabbed Dyne's arm and pulled him back before he could disturb whatever Iris was trying to do right now.

"What?" Zephyr was flabbergasted, while Joel stared at Iris and then to his surroundings with a deep confusion. 

"Lu- luna… what is going on?" Joel then fixed his eyes at Iris's palms, where the little lights gathered like fireflies. 

"What happened here?" Kian asked, he poked his head, because he couldn't squeeze his body inside and gasped loudly, causing the other three warriors to do the same thing. 

"What is that?!"

"Is that luminous pearl?"

"There is no way luminous pearl can float!"

They were dumbstruck. 

"Be quiet and see!" Eron hissed at the other warrior, as they were being noisy and this could distract the luna's concentration. Hearing that, all of them immediately shut their mouth. 

"What is the luna trying to do now?" Zephyr asked Eron in a very low voice, as he didn't want to disturb Iris. 

"Just watch and see," Eron said with a big smirk on the corner of his lips, as if he knew what he was saying and what would happen, even though, he was as clueless as the rest of them about what Iris's intention.  2

Frowning, Zephyr didn't ask much and then be quiet, waiting what kind of miracle that the luna was trying to do. Was she a magic user? How could she produce such light? Wasn't she a runt?

A lot of questions ran in their mind, but none of them was dare enough to voice it out, more so they were in awed with this sight. Now they knew it was not something harmful and this phenomenon came from the luna, they could be at ease. 

On the other hand, Iris followed her instinct, what she did next was based on the familiar feeling she felt from the first Serafim. Na must have done this countless times and this familiarity guided her. 

She felt the same sensation like when she squeezed Mason's wolf spirit, but it was with the opposite feeling. 

With Mason, her intention was crystal clear that she wanted to kill him, but with Joel it was a determination to heal him.

In such short moment, Iris could feel the pain and the wounds from the wolf spirit when she touched it and this time, she touched it very carefully and created these lights, she remembered what Lu said and tried to do it again. 

She was able to feel every light she had created, where she could control them and directed them toward Joel's legs. 

Iris now stood up from the bed and then squatted down near Joel's legs, as she rubbed her palms on them. 

"No! Luna! You can't do that!" Joel was panic when Iris touched his legs. Someone with high status like Iris shouldn't have lowered herself in front of mere warrior like him, if he still could call himself as a warrior, let alone to touch his legs. 

However, Iris couldn't care less with that fact, she was fully focus on her task. The crease between her brows deepened and her blue eyes dimmed, as she concentrated to gather the light around Joel's legs, but because the blanket obscured her sight, she yanked it away, which made Joel became even more freaked out. 

"Why are you staring? Stop the luna! It's not right for her to touch my legs!" Joel shouted at the dumbfounded warriors in his bedroom.
