Ice, Amor and Yue went back up the climb. This time the terrain they were facing was heavier. The road uphill with sharp rocks is here and there. Amor fell down several times. Because of slipping or slipping slippery rocks. But the woman just grimaced. Then get up again and continue the journey, as if nothing had happened.
After traveling for quite a long time, Yue finally stopped his steps. "That's it" said the man. Ice and Amor approached the moon god. They were all amazed by what they saw. A valley surrounded by towering hills. With a thick fog covering him. Up there, on the left side is an ancient building. The only one there. Until it is confirmed if that is the place they are headed.

"That's the place" Yue said again. The man began to step up the stairs that became the road to the building. They needed to be careful as the stone stairs were shrouded in mist. It didn't take long, they had already arrived in front of the building. A greeting they said to the owner of the pavilion. But there's no answer. It looks like an empty house. Although his condition is very well maintained. "Is this place empty?" ask Ice later. "If this place is empty. Is this an illusion too?"ask Amor.
"It's real, it's just that the occupants are out of nowhere" Yue replied. They waited long enough for the door of the building to open. There was no one there. The three looked at each other. Slowly Ice stepped his foot in. "You open the door, can we come in?" ask Ice. The wind gently blew on them. As if that was a sign that they could enter.
"I'm sorry if we're presumptuous" Amor said softly. Someone from the second floor pulled the two corners of his lips, hearing Amor's words. They entered the building. Quiet, no one saw back there. The house looks like an ancient building with furniture that is also ancient. It seemed like the place was hundreds or even thousands of years old.
"Excuse me......" Amor is back. There is no lawfulness. They could only spread their shoulders. The sound of footsteps came down from the second floor. A half-old man, with partially bleached hair walked towards them. The man's face implied a peace that made all of them feel calm there. Maybe the man had spent a long time meditating, so as to be able to leave the worldly affairs and aura that so calms the soul.
"Welcome to the Hope Pavilion, I call it that," the man welcomed the arrival of Ice, Amor and Yue. The three men saluted and then returned the greetings of the man. As the man stared at Amor, there was a twinkle in the man's eyes. "This is the choice you have made, my son,"
"Include me Ice, this is Amor and he's Yue," Ice introduced himself. "Call me Lao Yang," the man replied briefly. Still staring at Amor. The man smiled faintly. "You even sent a gift to tell me she's your daughter, "inner Lao Yang again.
"Sorry before....."
"Aren't you tired and thirsty, I have the best tea that can relieve your tired and thirsty all at once" Lao Yang said. A table full of tea in front of them appeared. Ice and the others looked at each other. Then they sat down when Lao Yang invited them to sit down.
The teapot poured its contents into their cup without Lao Yang touching it. The man then drank his tea followed by Ice and the others. "Sorry, if we're presumptuous. But we're here to......"
Ice stopped his words as Lao Yang raised his hand. Signs Ice to stop. "There's still plenty of time to talk about it" Lao Yang said. The man immediately got up from his seat. Walk back to the second floor. "Just enjoy your time here" added Lao Yang.

"Be patient first" Ice said as he opened his eyes. The two men had been busy meditating ever since they arrived. The second word, here the haw is neutral and calm, very good if used for meditation. "Propay how else, brother. We need two days to get home, I'm worried that we're going to run out" said Amor almost crying. "We wait until tomorrow, if Lao Yang still silences us. We'll talk first" Yue said without opening her eyes. His focus was not interrupted by the cries of Amor.
While on the second floor, Lao Yang only smiled hearing the Amor's turmoil. "You really love him, don't you? Then enjoy the taste while you still have it," the man murmured softly.
The next day, Amor really could not bear the silence of Lao Yang on them. The goddess was just about to overtake Lao Yang to the second floor, when she realized, there was no stairs to climb to the second floor. Yue instantly pulled the corner of her lips. "This how's it going up?" amor was confused.
"You go up" Lao Yang's voice echoed in the building. Amor looked at Ice and Yue, confused. "Use your mind," Yue said slowly. Amor followed Yue's words. The woman closed her eyes, focusing her mind on going up to the second floor. The body of the goddess disappeared and appeared on the second floor.ah wrong. The second floor was not a room, but a dimension with clouds as its walls, floor and roof. Soon Ice and Yue appeared beside Amor. The two also did not expect that the second floor would be like that.
In front of them Lao Yang sat in a meditative manner on top of the vortex of clouds as his seat. Slowly, the man opened his eyes. "You know why I call this place the Hope Pavilion?" Lao Yang asked. No one answered. "For every man who dares to come here has such great hope that he can withstand the weight of the road to come here, only to realize their hope. Reviving their loved ones," Lao Yang looked straight at Amor.
"In this case it is you, Goddess of Love, Amor. The daughter of the ruler of the sky world, The Sky and also the goddess of flowers, Nuwa." Amor's necklace came loose, drifting towards Lao Yang. The man smiled. The lily symbol of Amor and Nuwa is the same, it can be ascertained if the original soul of Amor is a frozen lily.
"Tell me the reason that I have to give you my blessing" asked Lao Yang.
Amor immediately prostrated himself before Lao Yang. "I want to make amends. I destroyed it because of my stupidity. I didn't realize my love for her was so deep. I want him back. I want to see her again, I'm sorry," cried Amor almost broke. But the goddess tried to hold him back. Lao Yang was momentarily silent. The man glimpsed the lily mark on Amor's forehead already entangled with Fire's phoenix emblem, albeit faintly. In a sense they were once fused in another form, the human form.
"Please give me your blessing, I'll do anything, I'll give you anything you ask,"
"Amor..," Ice and Yue said simultaneously. Warn Amor of his words. But Amor doesn't care. He'll turn on Fire anyhow. "Well, I'll give you my blessing, but I ask one thing from you" replied Lao who after the man had been silent for quite some time.
"In my life, all my life that I don't remember for how long. I don't have one thing.one of the most precious flavors of your life, I want it."
The man said as he looked at Amor with a lily necklace hovering between the two. The three fell silent digesting Lao Yang's words. "That's a condition of mine," the man added.
