Josh asked Cassy's dad's permission for them to travel for the weekend.
"Where would you go, son? ", papa asked.
" To Greece, uncle. We had a tour ticket and it's so magical. I hope you'll let us", he said with his puppy eyes.
"Fine", papa chuckles, " just take care of my daughter. I know you can do that".
The two rejoiced after papa agreed to their trip. Cassy hugged her dad tightly and says thanks and I love you. The next day, they started their trip to Greece. Not to have fun but to find the item Cassy needs more than her life.
I searched it online and it is said that the dagger of beauty is hidden somewhere in the eternal garden. I supposed it was a cemetery", Josh told Cassy.
"We're can we find the eternal garden? "
"Oh, it is said that it had been too long since the garden was destroyed but the remains were still here. At the underground river, turn west into a small chamber. And there, we can find a stone door that leads to the eternal garden", Josh reads the article.
" I see. But that place is restricted area. Are you sure we can get in? ", Cassy asked hopefully.
Josh smiled. He knew exactly what to do in this situation. As the son if a billionaire, he had a lot more connections that the president had.
The two separate with their group and headed to the secret chamber. Two people assisted them and they easily got inside the eternal garden. Turns out it was just big stones, no trees or anything beautiful or magical but full of died grass and stones.
" Where can we find it? ", Josh whispered.
Cassy closed her eyes. She thinks nothing besides the dagger and then feel something magical. Something inside her lit up and she felt solemn then she felt something entered her body and every bad things she felt disappeared. Cassy opened her eyes and saw Josh with his mouth wide open. He was in awe.
"That's it?", she scoffs in disappointment.
" Yeah, I guess. Maybe there's no danger in obtaining that dagger", Josh smiled at her and she felt fine.
They were having fun for the rest if the day. The shooting star is the one much more difficult to find. And they need to travel far to the west sea to watch the sky where it falls.
The following weekend, they went to find a shooting star. This one is quite difficult for no one could actually find a real shooting star that falls on the ground.
"Why don't you summon it like you did with the dagger", Josh suggested.
" I can't. It is different and I don't feel anything like how I feel when I summoned the dagger of beauty. I doomed", she clasped her hands and covered her face with it.
They stayed camping that night under the starry skies. Cassy fall asleep while Josh stands to watch.
"Are you looking for something out here? ", a beautiful shining lady approached him.
" Uhmm no, ma'am. I'm here with my sister. We're camping", he stutters
"Oh? Your sister is so stunning. But how come you don't look the same? ", the lady teases him.
Cassy woke up and saw the shining lady. She smiled at her and stretched her hand towards Cassy.
" I'm here. But I must warn you. The path of awakening is much more painful than the waiting and summoning you did of the dagger and the star", the lady said and disappeared into thin air.
Cassy and Josh looked at each other. They were both stunned and speechless.
Is it the shooting star we are looking for? ", Cassy asked still bewildered.
" I guess so. Then, does that mean that we've succeed? ", they embraced each other in victory.
But one thing Cassy can't forget, the words the lady said to her. She is afraid, yet, she must endure in order to find out what happened and what was going on with her. She was already contented with what she have but being someone she didn't expect, Cassy had doubts.
In the whole two weeks, the search was achieved without any complications. That just means that Cassy is the one and only reincarnation of the great queen Cassiopeia from the past. But it still made her have secind thoughts on how easily they achieved it. Maybe there's a catch to it.
Without much thinking, they decided to go home but Cassy was not ready to face her father.
“Is there something wrong back home? ”, Josh asked concerned.
“No, nothing. I just don't want to go home yet”, she pouted trying to hide her sadness.
Josh agreed to take her back to his house. Cassy has been there and Josh's mother is an angel. She takes care of Cassy like her own daughter everytime she comes to visit. This is always the time when she felt the love of a mother after a very long time. Thinking about it, she even dreams of having Josh's mom to be her mom, it's just that Josh's dad is still alive and there's no chance for that to happen. Cassy enjoyed most of her time in Josh's house. She had fun helping his mom and accompanying her to the supermarket to get groceries.
After a whole week of staying there, Cassy decided to go back home and also take some clothes. She was stunned to see the new decors of the house, the new arrangements that happens, even her room felt and looked different.
“What happened here? ”, she asked Carla who was making lunch.
“Oh, in just thought that your room and the house is a but old fashion so I decorated it to look more modern”, Carla smiled.
“Wow! Do you even ask anyone before you do it? ", Cassy yelled.
Then this time, her dad came down. “What's all this commotion? ”, he asked totally clueless.
“Pa, did you just see how she changed out home? She even touch my room without my permission! Mama designed it! And I have never touch any of it”, tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Cassy, listen. This will be the new life for us. Your mom is long dead. You can't live like that forever”.
Hearing what her dad had said, Cassy broke in tears and anger filled her heart, “So it's easy for you to forget her, while I'm here still crying day and night for her return! You never found her body, yet you're thinking she's already dead! How heartless of you to collude with this hoe?! ”.
A slap landed on her cheeks. Carla tried to stop them but Cassy had stormed off to get her things and leave the house. She was completely heart broken.
She just thought that maybe staying with Josh's house would be better, even if she's gonna pay rent. She'll surely be happy more than she did at home. That night, Cassy left the house to come to Josh's. Josh opened the door for her and that moment, Cassy had collapsed due to stress and haven't eaten for the whole day.
