''Bring it, and you better go all out if you wish not to lose, that is.''
''Oh?" Even if she knew it was nothing but a provocation, Silveria was still pissed; therefore, she went all out, and as a result, Alex's heart tightened, and a chill went down his back as cold sweat covered his hands and feet; a feeling of unease clawed at his heart.
He still lost in less than five seconds on top of that.
''Huff! Huff! Ah! I knew I'd lose, but I managed to confirm what I wanted to confirm.'' Alex said, lying on his back, his clothes completely drenched.
Silveria sat beside him and observed him in silence for a moment before finally opening his mouth to ask.
''You did this with a goal in mind, right?''
''Yes, I wanted to confirm something.''
''And were you able to confirm it?" Silveria asked, fully aware that Alex must have confirmed whatever he wanted to confirm, just that she was not sure what this thing was.
''Yes, but before you can ask what this thing is, follow me first,'' Alex said before leaving Silveria's world; from now on, he decided to call it the silver world or Nemesis's realm.
Although she did not know what her master was planning, she still followed him.
Alex returned to their mansion; he made eye contact with the girls, and as soon as Silveria walked, there was an explosion.
''Happy birthday!!" Shouted everyone.
Silveria became frozen on the spot, overwhelmed by what was happening.
''What the hell?" She said in disbelief.
''Happy birthday, Silveria. As the family head, I wish you the best. May you never lose your smile , and please continue to stay with us as you have done since the start.'' Alex took a step forward and said to the frozen Silveria. He secretly sent her a message.
[Sorry, to have surprised you like this. I chose today as it reminds me of the day you awakened, and this day holds some special meaning to you, I guess. Sorry for not celebrating your birthday until now, but I promise you that from now on, we will keep celebrating it. I'm counting on you to help me as Nyx did when it was her turn.]
Silveria's shock increased after hearing Alex's message. Something like a birthday; she hasn't had one. She could not remember how many years it had been. HSheprevious did something like this for her, so obviously , she would be overwhelmed. To think that even her sister would participate in this surprise birthday party. She was delighted, so different emotions kept pouring into her heart, surprise, sadness, longing , and joy.
Alex and the girls waited for her to calm down, and a few minutes later, Silveria had regained control of her emotions; her silver eyes scanned everyone present as if she wished to burn their faces inside her soul forever.
''Thank you, everyone. This is without the biggest gift I've received in a while. I'm truly grateful to every one of you. Thank you for doing something like this for someone like me. I have a lot of shortcomings, like any living thing, but I promise to do my best to live up to everyone's expectations to the best of my capability. Please look after me as I'll be doing the same thing.'' Silveria declared.
Alex and the others could feel her sincerity.
''No need to thank us as we are all one family. Isn't that right, girls?" Alex said, turning in the girls' direction.
''Yes, we are all family.'' They shouted in unison.
''Thank you.'' Silveria declared as she lowered her head. She felt grateful from the bottom of her heart; her day couldn't be any better. She approached everyone, looking at the beautiful birthday cake she had said.
''What a beautiful day. To me birthday it is a day to reflect on the year that was and what is ahead to strive for. I guess it is a sort of personal "New Year," one where resolutions can be made, promises to the self. For me, I plan to be bolder, to speak louder about the ideas I have for making a better world for all life in this universe. Perhaps that extra bit of bravery, that extra bit of willpower and resolve, is the real gift to myself from me. This time next year, I will be a better person, then make another resolution the year after and the one after that.''
Alex nodded; he did share the same thought as Silveria.
The birthday cake was rainbows on rainbows. It was layered rainbow-hued cakes in rainbow-hued buttercream and rainbow sprinkles on top.
After another speech, the celebration begin, and during this celebration, Silveria declared.
''This birthday party s with the family, friends, and cake - it's simple, sweet, and destined to take its place in my album of good memories. Thank you all.''
She raised her cup after that.
''Cheers!''
''Cheers!!!'
Kuin approached Alex, who was enjoying his glass of wine.
''Oh!: Kuina, how are you? Sorry, I have something to do so I'll see you later. You don't mind, right?"
''Of course not. However, to think you were all preparing for something like this. What a wonderful surprise. I hope you'll do the same when it is my turn.''
''Don't worry, you will not be disappointed,'' Alex promised to Kuina's happiness.
"That will be nice then. It is just that...'' She trailed off at the end of her sentence, which made Alex raise an eyebrow.
''It is just that what?"
Kuina stayed silent for a moment; however, during this time, she was subtly looking in Maria's direction, and after making sure that the latter attention was on her, the same for her ears, she said in not such a low voice.
''My favorite birthday party hasn't happened yet. It will be you and me, naked all day. A warm bed, warmer hugs, and all the things lovers love.''
Puff!
Alex spat his wine. It couldn't be helped as what Kuina said was that shocking. She disappeared with a mischievous smile. She had successfully succeeded in today's mini-mission, pissing Maria off.
Indeed, Kuina had succeeded because Maria's face right now was a sight to behold; her glass exploded and turned into ice.
'This bitch. I will make sure to teach her a lesson in our next sparring session.'
Maria vowed.
After this little episode, the celebration continued until late at night. Everyone went to sleep, leaving only Alex and Silveria together. They disappeared and reappeared in her world.
''Thank you, Alex. That was a wonderful surprise. I love it. Even if my sister didn't come, she promised I would see my gift soon.'' Silveria said while looking at the constellation outside.
Made up of thirteen stars, the constellation called Prionailurus roughly resembles the shape of an antelope. It can be seen most prominently just above the Northeastern horizon in the middle of summer.
In ancient society, this constellation was seen as the representation of the god of the hunt, which is how it received the name still used today.
In astrology, this constellation bears the sign of balance; those born under it are believed to become explorers.
They'resupposedd to be a good match with those born under the constellations resembling a bison, cannonball, and shell. But they don't match well with those born under the hammer, heart, and dragon constellations.
''So, what do you want to ask me?" She cut right to the chase.
Alex chuckled and answered.
''Let's make a deal.''
Silveria did not say anything; her silver eyes pierced through Alex's body, trying to see through him; however, it was impossible; what she was doing was to simple check his status and Alex let her do that.
