Summer - Sunset
Another season came, memories were blown to dust. Replaced by the leaves that was shown by light across the forest. It was peaceful. Birds dancing from tree to tree, the scorching sun that was behind them.

But apart from that, was the sound of tree logging. His axe piercing the trunk in every swing, until it splits in half which then they would use as firewood. The name was Cannes, and they had a log house together in this forest for a long time. With his beautiful wife.

"Darling, I caught dinner!" Cannes, eyes were caught wide open to what he'd witness. 2 boars, 2 boxes of fish, and a rabbit. This was his wife, Jeanne... But more importantly, he wasn't sure how she had managed to do that.

"What's with your face? Have you seen something you shouldn't?"

"Of course! You over hunted again! What would the gods say if the forest becomes barren?"

"Pfft! Nonsense. The forest WONT become barren, unless I tell them to. Besides..."

Jeanne circled her arms on her husband's neck... A sign of seduction exclusive to happily married couples... (Damn, normies.)

"You need lots and lots of food, if you want to last long tonight.."

She was unexpected, as always. This was their daily life as a couple trying to forget the trauma. They have to, otherwise both of them would go senile.. Losing family, isn't an easy thing to see. Coping with it, isn't easy to do..

However, with this. They could pay respects and find happiness to their once alive family. Their fathers, mothers, siblings...

The two of them were only left because of luck after all...

With that being said, let's go back to Jeanne. He squinted his eyes at one of the carcass hoping to find any clues as to why she managed to kill 2 boars by herself.

Had she used a bow? No. If that's so then he should have seen Jeanne carry it all the way to the house. Also they don't have a bow! She's a 5 ft tall woman, and she couldn't had some help did she? They were the only ones living in the forest..

His mind was running tricks on him, scratching his head over and over again until he finally decides to sit in front on one of the carcass and ask the most dumbest question of the century..

"Hey... How did she kill you by the way?" He said looking very very serious... At a carcass.. Of course, Jeanne saw this and dropped a plate.

"Darling!.."

"Yes? What is it?"

"Should I ask one of the Domes?"

"I am NOT a madman!"

Jeanne placed the plates down, and laughed HARD. She hadn't seen anyone ask someone they hunted, who killed them. For her, he had just won the oscar.

Canne was pissed. Of course, he genuinely was trying to uncover a mystery caused by her. But to no avail. A backfire was in the works.

"What about you!? Are YOU a madman?"

"Oh wow, that's just plain rude.."

All of this were all fun and jokes until Cannes decided to prick Jeanne's patience. Lesson one in marriage, never EVER... Insult your wife.. Otherwise, you'll be sweating just like he did. Remember...

The wife killed 2 boars without a weapon..

"What's wrong, My husband? What seems to be the problem?"

Another liter flowed endlessly as he looked straight into her eyes. He wished he didn't. It was scary. She was smiling... But scary..

"Nothing.. I'm sorry. I got too ahead of myself.."

Cannes said, sincerity flooded his face in hopes of being forgiven. Until he was pushed to the ground, then he knew he wasn't going to live another hour.

"No, no... That's not it at all.." She then lifted his chin, a slight hint of menace.

"Thy fool, what hath you called me?"

"A madman?"

"Be it thee' way, when I say I hath covered mine hands for-"

At that point he couldn't bear with it either, it was too cringy... His hands were already covering her mouth.

"Ok! Ok! I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Sincerely. Just stop, it's killing me."

But then, the wife couldn't make her point either. So she kissed him. To end the fight, and to end the cringe. So without saying anything, he was left hanging as Jeanne proceeded to slice the boars in half using bare fingers..

That explains the phenomenon, he thought. He was left hanging at the end, as a silent dinner took place at their log cabin.

This was their daily life in the later known 'Neverlight Forest'. Which was still full of light, and full of life.

The first season of the story, and also the first night they had a baby...
