Creation Of All Things-Chapter 151: Lumi And Party

The air shimmered.

Tiny golden motes danced like fireflies around Adam's hand as he held it out, his smile tilted and lazy, but the look in his eyes… that was different.

Alexandria stepped back instinctively. The breeze had stopped moving, the sky felt like it was holding its breath, and Kael'Thar… even Kael'Thar was watching, unmoving.

This guy's not normal, she thought, her heart skipping.

Suddenly—

WHOOM.

A pulse rippled from Adam's palm, silent but deep, like a heartbeat through the world.

Golden light burst into the air, swirling and spiraling upward like a blooming flower of energy. It wasn't chaotic—it was… elegant. Controlled. Like someone painting with the universe itself.

Alexandria watched, her mouth slightly open, as something began to take shape in front of them.

A glowing orb, floating in the air. Then arms. Legs. A soft giggle.

The light bent and folded inwards—

And suddenly, standing before them…

Was a small girl.

She had long hair that shimmered like stardust, her eyes glowing softly like twin moons. Her skin was pale gold, and tiny wings fluttered behind her, leaving trails of sparkling dust.

"W-What…" Alexandria whispered, wide-eyed. "Is that a…?"

Adam casually took another sip of his drink. "Spirit companion. She's yours now."

The little girl floated up to Alexandria and tilted her head. "Hi! I'm Lumi!"

Alexandria blinked. "She talks?!"

Lumi spun around mid-air and showered her with sparkles. "Of course I do! I'm part of you now! Kinda. We'll work on it!"

Adam grinned. "She can float, shoot beams, heal you if you're ever in danger, and she'll scream at you when you're being reckless."

Lumi nodded proudly. "That's right!"

Alexandria just stood there, completely frozen. "I… I love her."

Lumi hugged her face. "I love you too!"

Kael'Thar rumbled with a long, tired exhale. "Now there are two of them."

Adam laughed under his breath. "Better get used to it."

The sun dipped low in the sky, casting warm orange light over Virelia. Long shadows stretched across the field outside Adam's tower, where the sound of laughter echoed like wind chimes in the breeze.

"Catch me if you can!" Lumi shouted, zipping through the air like a firework.

Alexandria bolted after her, laughing so hard she could barely run straight. "Hey! No fair, you can fly!"

Lumi twirled midair, sticking her tiny tongue out. "Too slow~!"

Alexandria jumped and tried to grab her, missing by inches and landing in the soft grass with a thud. "Ugh! You little gremlin!"

Lumi floated down and sat on her head. "Correction: adorable sparkly gremlin."

They both burst into giggles.

Kael'Thar lay nearby, half-asleep, watching them through one slit eye. His tail flicked lazily every now and then, but even he couldn't help the small huff of amusement that rumbled from his chest.

Adam leaned against the balcony above, arms crossed, drink in hand again. His white hair swayed in the breeze, and a ghost of a smile played on his lips as he watched them.

"She's happier," he murmured.

Down below, Alexandria tried again—this time leaping up and grabbing Lumi out of the air with both hands. "Gotcha!"

Lumi squealed with laughter. "Unfair! Human boost jump!"

Alexandria collapsed backwards, holding Lumi close. "You're like… the little sister I never knew I needed."

Lumi blinked, then beamed. "Then you're my big sis now! Officially!"

"Deal."

They pinky promised. Yes. A literal pinky swear with sparkles and everything.

Then Lumi paused, glowing softly. "Hey… wanna see what I can do?"

Alexandria sat up. "Show me."

Lumi floated higher, raised her tiny hands—and BOOM! A flurry of lights exploded around her, forming dozens of butterflies made of pure stardust. They flapped their wings, glowing in twilight colors as they swirled around the field like living fireworks.

Alexandria stood there, breathless. "Holy crap…"

Lumi smiled shyly. "Too much?"

Alexandria shook her head slowly, then just started clapping. "No. That was amazing."

Behind them, Kael'Thar blinked once. "…Okay, that was decent."

Lumi did a little flip in the air. "Ha! Dragon-approved!"

Adam chuckled quietly from above, finally turning away from the balcony. "Yeah… she's gonna be just fine."

And as the stars began to peek out in the sky, Alexandria and Lumi danced in the light of glowing butterflies—two girls, one human and one made of stars, spinning freely under the moon.

It was loud, messy, sparkly, and chaotic.

But it was perfect.

Meanwhile, deep in one of the monarch towers, Aurora stood still.

Her arms were crossed, eyes narrowed as she watched from the shadows. The sounds of laughter echoed faintly—Alexandria and that glowing little spirit, running around like children.

"Tch," she scoffed under her breath, turning away. Her footsteps echoed softly as she walked out, her expression unreadable.

Up above, Adam blinked slowly.

He'd felt that.

His eyes drifted in the direction Aurora had gone, but he didn't move. Just stood there with the breeze brushing his coat and the last rays of sun warming the stone.

"…Future sight, huh," he muttered.

He thought about it—just for a second. The idea of seeing what came next, skipping all the mess, the confusion. Knowing everything before it happened.

But… where's the fun in that?

He let out a quiet chuckle and looked back down at the field, where Lumi was chasing Alexandria in circles, both of them glowing under the twilight.

"Nah," he murmured. "Let it unfold."

And the wind carried his voice away like a secret not meant to be heard.

The sun dipped low, painting the sky in soft purples and gold as music drifted lazily through the open field. It wasn't loud or wild—just something gentle, warm, like a late summer evening. Tables were scattered around, glowing orbs floating above them like lanterns, casting everything in a soft light. The air was calm, the mood even calmer.

A little party had formed.

Earth's leaders stood in their own little circle, talking in quiet tones. Suits, polished shoes, practiced expressions. Some of them tried to smile, others just stood there trying to understand what was happening. One or two glanced around awkwardly—unsure whether to treat this like a diplomatic event or a dream they hadn't quite woken up from.

Farther off, under the shade of a blossoming tree, Tatia was sitting cross-legged on the grass, sipping something fizzy with a faint smile. Franklin stood beside her, dressed sharp as always, but with his tie loosened, surprisingly relaxed. Victoria leaned against the trunk nearby, arms folded, her eyes scanning the horizon like she was expecting trouble… but the edge in her was softer now.

Lucian was just a few steps away, his silver hair glinting in the light, eyes cold and sharp as ever—but they softened when he looked to the side.

Raina stood there, quietly holding a glass. She didn't say anything. She didn't need to.

Aurora, across from her, wasn't saying anything either.

They stared at each other.

Long silence.

"…Still brooding?" Raina finally said, her voice flat.

Aurora raised a brow. "You blinked first."

"Tch."

Lucian let out the smallest exhale. "You two never change."

But for a split second—just a second—there was a look. That silent kind of look. Raina's grip relaxed a little. Aurora's gaze dropped to the grass. And nothing was said. But something passed between them. Family, in the weirdest, most stoic way possible.

Nearby, Kael was leaning on a railing, eyes half-lidded, a faint smirk on his face as he watched it all like he was watching a show he already knew the ending to.

Baldur sat at a table stacked with plates. His body was still frail, hunched, the outline of bones sharp beneath his robe… but his appetite was anything but. He shoved a whole steamed bun into his mouth and moaned softly like he'd just been blessed by the heavens.

"Ahhh… so soft…"

Kael raised a brow. "Try breathing, old man."

Baldur waved him off with a chicken leg.

Not far from them, Jane and Gloria stood chatting. Well, mostly Jane was chatting, waving her arms about as she described something that made her laugh in short bursts. Gloria was trying to follow, sipping from her drink, nodding slowly.

Then their attention shifted.

Alexandria had joined them, her eyes still wide from everything, cheeks slightly flushed from running around. Floating beside her was Lumi, her wings fluttering softly as she circled the girl like an excited firefly.

Lumi spotted the group and waved. "Hi! I'm Lumi!"

Jane blinked. "She talks?"

"She sparkles too," Alexandria said, laughing softly.

Lumi giggled and spun again, tossing a light shower of golden dust in the air. "I can sing too, but only when no one's listening!"

Gloria's eye twitched. She turned slowly toward Adam, who was sitting on a low wall with his usual relaxed smirk, watching it all like some guy at a park bench feeding birds.

"You made her a spirit companion," Gloria said, teeth clenched. "You. Made. Her. One."

Adam didn't even look at her. "She needed one."

"I need one!"

He finally turned, shrugged. "You're doing fine without."

Gloria grumbled something very not-appropriate-for-the-party and crossed her arms tightly.

Alexandria giggled again, petting Lumi like a proud older sibling. Jane leaned down with a curious grin, poking the spirit's cheek.

"She's soft," she whispered.

"I know!" Lumi said.

The field stayed lively, soft music still playing. Some danced. Some talked. Others just stood around, taking it in.

It was strange. Surreal. But peaceful.

For a moment, there were no monsters. No wars. No politics.

Just people.

Some glowing. Some fuming. Some awkward. But all of them… there.

Together.
