The following day.
The four gathered around the dining table to eat breakfast.
After breakfast is over, Graven and Elva disappeared into the bedroom again, discussing their plan of rescuing Graven's men and Luke's spirit underneath the castle.
Terros looked at Veronica. "Is there any way we can hear and see what they're talking about inside the bedroom?"
Veronica shrugged. "That's going to be rude. Why don't you watch over the bubble on the terrace while I'm washing the dishes? I'm sure if the couple is finished talking about the plan, Graven will tell you everything, okay?"
"Brilliant idea!" Terros replied with a grin and a thumb up. He stood up and left the kitchen, going to the terrace.
Veronica gathered the dirty dishes and began washing them in the sink.
Meanwhile, inside Elva's room.
The couple was facing each other at the table.
Elva raised her hand, and a black garment appeared in her palm. "This is my master plan!" she said and put the garment on the table.
Graven examined the garment and was shocked to see that is a guy's undergarment. "What's this?" he ended up chuckling while holding the brief in his hands. "I'm going to save my men and my brother's spirit with this garment?" he asked in astonishment.
Elva smiled sweetly, as she watched the disbelief, shocked and amusing expression on Graven's face. "Don't disparage that undergarment!" she said with a pout.
Graven looked at the serious expression on the goddess's face. "Um...okay. Can you please explain to me how can I use this piece of undergarment to help my mission?" he inquired, eager to learn what is the exact plan of the goddess. He finds everything amusing though.
Elva opened her palm again. A yellow handkerchief embroidered with flowers appeared in her palm, and she put it beside the undergarment.
Graven looked at the yellow handkerchief. His brows knitted together in confusion. "How can I used them, Elva?" he asked curiously.
"Good question! Let me start with the undergarment first!" she said and began explaining its uses... then next... the important role of the handkerchief.
Graven listened attentively to the goddess's instruction. One hour later, he finally sees the brilliance of her strategy. He can't wait to go to the castle and execute the deity's plan.
The strategy is so damn simple! It sounds flawless and unbelievable!
In the next one hour, they discussed all the things that could go wrong at the last minute and what to do just in case things wouldn't go as planned.
They have a lengthy discussion about Plan B and Plan C.
By the time they left the room, they were both hungry and thirsty.
Veronica readied the refreshment in the kitchen for the couple. She left them and joined Grandpa Terros on the terrace.
Terros examined Luke's body inside the bubble. He wore a bright smile on his face.
Veronica went to his side and asked, "Grandpa, why are you smiling?"
"Look at Luke's skin! The dark splotches were fading away!" Terros exclaimed in gladness.
"Yes, indeed!" Veronica agreed.
"The goddess is awesome! It's our blessing to have her on our side!" he gushes. "I can imagine now the happiness on Graven's face after seeing his brother's body starting to heal!" he said merrily.
Veronica feels happy, loving the smile on Grandpa Terros's face.
They continue observing Luke's body.
After eating their snack, the couple went back into the room for the final rundown on their strategy.
At 5:00 in the afternoon, Elva finally concluded their conversation. "Good luck, Graven! I hope you will succeed with your mission!" she said, her eyes shimmering.
"Thank you so much, Elva! I owe you a lot. One day I will repay your kindness!" he said.
Elva smiled and caresses her baby bump. "Don't mention it!"
The couple exited the bedroom and went to the terrace.
They went to the location of the bubble and inspected Luke's condition.
"Wow, the green powder was almost gone! And look at that... my brother's skin is finally returning to normal! This is a miracle!" Graven beamed happily. He looked at the deity. "Thank you so much, Elva, for all your help!" he said, his voice was overflowing with gratitude.
Elva looked at him sweetly and said, "It's my pleasure helping you, guys! You deserved my help!"
Veronica addressed the men. "You want to go home now? Or stay here for another night?" she asked.
Terros looked at the deity. "We're ashamed to impose on your kindness and graciousness again, Elva. We're going home today," he replied.
"Alright, you can leave anytime. Much better if you will leave the bubble here for a few days so that I can observe Luke's body for any sudden changes. With his current condition, it's easier to treat him if he's here in my place," Elva offered.
Terros and Graven looked at each other.
"I agree. Then I have to trouble you, Elva, to watch over my brother for a few days while we are busy with our rescue mission. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!" Graven spoke, his eyes shone with appreciation.
