Times became peaceful after the brave knights of Clover defeated the Dark Triad, Devils and Morris who had affiliated himself with the Spade Kingdom. Even though the first two seemed more grave, Mars was the happiest with the last. Morris… He experimented on him, he was the reason why him and Fana were separated for so many years.

He looked to the side and saw his beloved walking, her fingers intertwined with his. He squeezed her gently. They were fine now. Clover and Diamond had signed a treaty, a new King has taken charge and Mars was relieved of his duties as the Shining General. He reunited with Fana. 

Their plan was to travel the world together, so they did. Sometimes it rained, the other times it snowed, but then the sun shone like on that day They were walking through a clearing, hand in hand. Mars watched his beloved. 

“What is it?” Fana smiled looking up at him. “You’ve been staring.”

“You’re beautiful,” Mars answered. “However I don’t need reasons to look at you,” a soft blush spread on his cheeks.

“Thank you,” the corners of her eyes happily wrinkled, before turning away. She suddenly stopped walking and pulled on his hand. “Look!” She exclaimed pointing up at the sky. 

Mars followed her gaze and noticed a small swallow gliding in the air. Fana’s eyes widened as she watched the bird fascinated. She had never seen a bird like this before. She freed herself from his hold and started running after the swallow.

“Come on Mars!” She shouted. “I want to take a closer look!” Fana was already ahead of him. 

Mars laughed and it was a laugh of pure joy. His legs moved on their own as he began to run after the woman that he loved. What started as a chase after a swallow, turned into Mars and Fana playfully racing each other. He was getting ahead, his long strides taking him further, so he slowed down. He was never going to leave her behind. It was just that she did not manage to stop.

With a full strength Fana collided with him falling right into his arms. Mars tripped landing on his back, the long grass softened the fall. Fana’s pink hair fell on him, so he parted her bangs to see her face. A soft giggle escaped her. He joined her. His chest vibrated as he laughed. Fana placed a soft kiss on his forehead before getting off. 

She could have stayed… he thought.

Mars spread his arms wide on the grass and looked up. It was really ticklish. Soft sunlight shone on him and only few clouds were visible in the sky. The sky… it was blue, perfectly blue, but he knew an even prettier hue of this color.

As he thought of it he saw it. Fana leaned over him, her fingers cupped his chin from behind, with her other arm she supported herself and she was looking down on him. A tender smile adored her face. Blue eyes, they were gazing at him. Mars grinned.

“I love you, Fana,” he said. “Dreaming about this journey got me through the hard times.”

“I love you too, Mars,” Fana whispered. “This journey, you,” she paused, before softly stroking his cheek. “You were worth the wait.

I have known exactly one cat who would sit there with his mouth open to be pilled, and that was because he was orange and never got the brain cell and always always thought it was going to be a treat instead.
