- Chapter 3 - The Sleepless Deity and the Drowsy Fairy
In a realm unseen by mortal eyes, high above the mundane world, the God of Earth paced anxiously in his ethereal palace.
His name was Zephyrus—a deity more familiar with worry than wrath.
The grand hall was lined with shimmering silver clouds, yet none could calm his frayed nerves.
“Luna! Where are you?” he called, his voice echoing through the celestial chambers.
From behind a wispy curtain of stardust, a small fairy with iridescent wings fluttered lazily into view.
Her name was Luna, famed among fairies for napping anywhere, anytime.
“What is it now, Lord Zephyrus?” she asked, suppressing a yawn.
(Can’t a fairy get some sleep around here?)
Zephyrus wrung his hands.
“It’s him. That boy—Alfred.”
Luna arched an eyebrow.
“Alfred? The human? What about him?”
(Probably another one of his overblown concerns.)
He gestured to a translucent pool reflecting scenes from Earth.
Within it, Alfred sat alone in his clubroom, his stern expression sparking yet another round of wild rumors among his classmates.
“Look at him! Every step he takes, every move he makes—it’s unsettling!” Zephyrus exclaimed.
Luna glanced at the pool, then back at him.
“He seems… pretty normal to me.”
(And kind of boring, to be honest.)
“Normal? Did you see how his classmates scatter like leaves in the wind?
He’s a menace to the balance of my world!” Zephyrus insisted.
Luna rubbed her temples.
“Maybe if you stopped spying on him, you’d feel better.”
(Or maybe I could get back to my nap.)
Zephyrus resumed pacing.
“I can’t ignore him! What if his aura of intimidation grows stronger?
What if he starts affecting things?”
“Like what? Causing more rumors?” Luna retorted.
(This is ridiculous.)
He stopped, eyes wide with fear.
“Exactly! Rumors breed fear, fear spawns chaos, and chaos disrupts Earth’s harmony!”
Luna sighed.
“So, what do you propose we do about it?”
(Please don’t say anything that involves me.)
“We need to… remove him from Earth,” Zephyrus declared in a hushed tone.
Luna blinked slowly.
“You want to eliminate a human because he looks scary?”
(That’s a bit extreme—even for him.)
“Not eliminate—just relocate.” He hurried on, “There’s a world called Eldoria—a realm of magic and adventure. He’d fit right in there.”
Luna crossed her arms.
“And you want me to send him there?”
(Figures he’d rope me into this.)
“Precisely! You can guide him through a portal and ensure he stays there,” Zephyrus said, nodding fervently.
She shook her head.
“Why me? Can’t you send one of your other celestial beings?”
(Or better yet, handle it yourself.)
Zephyrus looked at her pleadingly.
“Because you’re the only one I trust with this delicate task. Plus, you’re already skilled in interworld travel.”
Luna rolled her eyes.
“Fine, fine. I’ll do it.”
(The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can get back to sleep.)
“Thank you, Luna! You’re doing the cosmos a great service,” he said, visibly easing.
Luna fluttered over to the pool, watching Alfred as he poked at his bento in solitude.
“He doesn’t look that dangerous to me.”
(Just a lonely guy with a seriously stern face.)
“Don’t be deceived by appearances!” Zephyrus warned.
“Now, how soon can you set up the portal?”
Luna snapped her fingers nonchalantly.
“It’s done. The door in his clubroom leads straight to Eldoria.”
(Maybe this will be quick and painless.)
Zephyrus sighed with relief.
“Excellent. Now, we must ensure he steps through.”
They watched as the door in Alfred’s clubroom began to glow mysteriously.
Alfred looked up, curiosity sparkling in his eyes.
“He notices it,” Luna observed.
(Of course he does. Who wouldn’t notice a glowing door?)
“Good, good,” muttered Zephyrus, wringing his hands again.
Alfred rose and walked toward the door.
A flicker of hesitation crossed his face—then he stepped through.
“And there he goes,” Luna said.
(Well, that was easy.)
Zephyrus beamed.
“Wonderful! Now, all we need to do is make sure he stays there.”
Luna turned to leave.
“Great. My part is done. I’ll be heading back now.”
(Time to catch some Z’s.)
“Wait!” Zephyrus called, blocking her path.
“You must go with him!”
She stared incredulously.
(Oh no, I did not sign up for a babysitting gig.)
“You need to accompany him to Eldoria and ensure he doesn’t find a way back to Earth,” he insisted.
“Who knows what chaos could ensue if he’s left unattended!”
Luna threw her hands up.
“Unbelievable. First you want me to send him away, and now you want me to play chaperone?”
(This day just keeps getting better.)
“Please, Luna! It’s imperative for our world’s safety,” Zephyrus pleaded.
She groaned.
“Fine, but you owe me big time for this.”
(He better grant me a century-long vacation afterward.)
“Anything you want!” Zephyrus agreed hastily.
With a resigned sigh, Luna waved her wand.
A soft glow enveloped her as she said,
“I’ll keep an eye on him—but don’t expect hourly reports.”
(Because I’ll be napping whenever possible.)
“Thank you, Luna. You’re the most reliable fairy I could ask for,” Zephyrus said gratefully.
She smirked.
“Don’t push it.”
(Flattery won’t make me any less annoyed.)
In a flash of light, Luna transported herself to Eldoria.
She materialized just as Alfred emerged on the other side of the portal, eyes wide with wonder at the fantastical landscape.
“Finally, Isekai!!!” Alfred shouted, arms raised in triumph.
Luna hovered invisibly nearby, silently observing him.
(At least he’s enjoying himself.
Maybe he won’t be too much trouble.)
Alfred began planning his next move—talking about finding a damsel in distress to save.
She shook her head.
(He’s in for a surprise. Eldoria isn’t exactly a storybook.)
As Alfred set off on his misguided quest, Luna found a comfortable spot on a nearby floating flower and settled down.
“Well, since he’s busy, I might as well rest,” she murmured.
(I deserve it after all this hassle.)
Back in his celestial palace, Zephyrus watched through his own pool.
Seeing Luna with Alfred, he finally relaxed.
“Perhaps now, Earth can return to its peaceful monotony,” he mused, settling into his throne while casting one last wary glance at the pool.
“I hope Luna can handle him,” he whispered.
(And that I won’t have to intervene again.)
Meanwhile, in Eldoria, Alfred unknowingly walked a path that would intertwine his fate with that of a lazy fairy and a nervous god.
As Luna drifted into slumber on her floating flower, she couldn’t help but think:
(Maybe this won’t be so bad after all.
If he stays out of trouble, I can get some quality sleep.)
Little did she know, Alfred’s knack for misunderstandings was only just beginning.
