Sunday, December 6th.
The morning arrived, and with it, the everlasting snowstorm that descended upon Elffire City last night.
The wind howls, hisses, and stops.
To howl louder, while the snow volley keeps.
The incessant batter at the window pane, makes comfort feel as sweet again.
Through the hushed air, the whitening shower descends,
At first thin wavering; till at last the flakes.
Fall broad and wide and fast, dimming the day that arrived.
With a continual flow. The cherished fields put on their winter robe of purest white.
That's why Theo gave the girls the day off from the training.
He did not want the girls waking up so early to get out amidst this terrible weather.
Theo even excused Aurora from the training too, even though the girl would not have to get out of the house to train.
But he figured that he could let the girl sleep late and enjoy the coziness of their home.
The girls protested a little when he told them about the cancellation of the training, but they relented after they saw the snowstorm falling.
But they only calmed down when Theo said that even he would not train that day.
Theo understood that overexercising could damage his body, so he did not mind resting for a day.
That's why on that Sunday morning, Theo woke up much later than he was used to.
He usually woke up at 5 am, but today he woke up at 7:33 am.
Theo could not even remember the last time that he slept so much.
Theo blinked his eyelids clad in long silver eyelashes as he woke up.
For a moment he was confused about the situation, and it was only after thinking for a while that he remembered that it was Sunday morning.
"That's right. I skipped workout today." He said with a husky and sleepy voice as he smiled happily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe snugged on his fluffy blankets and just lay there and enjoyed his bed.
It was a rare occurrence for him to be able to stay in his bed without having to worry about waking up early.
His sister didn't have classes today, and she was probably in deep sleep at the moment.
So, he had a carefree mind as he enjoyed his bed.
Even though he still had a bunch of things to do, they were not urgent enough for him to worry about.
He could do that later.
"Sylph, open half the shades." He asked in his husky voice.
His bedroom had blackout shades, so not a once of light entered the bedroom, so his eyes were currently looking at the complete darkness.
He wanted to observe the forest and see if it was still snowing.
As soon as he said that, half of the window shades were lifted.
Theo, who was snuggled on the bed, was able to observe the outside scenery.
He was able to see that the snowstorm was still falling.
Troves of snowflakes descended from the skies into the sea of trees that formed the Pedrarruna Forest.
The cold winds swayed the trees making them look as if they were dancing according to the wind's symphony.
He had a satisfied heart as he admired the view and enjoyed his bed.
Theo never thought he would be blessed enough to have such a magical view from his bedroom window.
Even though the outside seemed to be freezing, there was not an ounce of coldness inside his bedroom or any other part of the house.
Instead, he was feeling a very comfortable temperature.
Theo observed the scenery from bed for half an hour before he picked up his phone from the nightstand.
'8:02 am... I should get going.' He thought as he motioned to get out of the bed.
Even though his bed was extremely comfy, he had things that he could not delay.
Theo sat at the border of his bed and stepped on the floor.
The floor was heated and Theo did not have to worry about the coldness as he walked barefooted to the bathroom in his room.
A while later, Theo left his bedroom wearing black sweatpants, an orange Naruto sweater, and comfy slippers.
Theo passed in front of Aurora's bedroom and noticed that she hadn't woken up yet.
He smiled and continued walking.
After all the fun that Theo and the girls had in the lake yesterday, he was not surprised for her to be relaxed enough to sleep late.
Yesterday, after the girls dragged Theo to the lake.
They had fun all afternoon.
They swam, took pictures, played water volleyball, sun-tanned on the pier, ate delicious food, and so on.
It was only when the time that Ayia and Theo had to leave for the restaurant arrived that their little party was over.
Theo arrived in the kitchen and started cooking a hearty breakfast to warm his stomach.
A while later, Theo finished eating his breakfast and headed toward his office.
But not before he left breakfast done for when his sister woke up.
The food would be heated as soon as she left her bedroom.
That was because Theo asked Sylph to heat the breakfast when Aurora left her room.
It could be helped, Theo loved Aurora too much and he only wanted to spoil her rotten.
After all, she was his baby sister.
He had several thoughts as he walked out of the kitchen.
Today he had something very important to do.
He would edit the footage that Arthur had sent him!
Theo was curious to see if their work was good enough.
He was also excited because this would be his first music video!
He never imagined that someday he would be editing a music video of one of his songs.
Theo arrived at his office and immediately turned on the computer.
"Have you sent their money, Sylph?" Theo asked as he clicked on the file that Arthur had sent to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, Master! As soon as I confirmed the veracity of the file, I forwarded their payment." Sylph's lively voice replied as she suddenly appeared on the computer screen.
She could appear on any screen in the house, so Theo was not surprised to see her figure on the screen.
Theo nodded and started inspecting the file.
He was then impressed by the organization of the footage.
Every scene footage was in a separate subfile.
For example, the footage of the scene on the Sunshire Bridge was in just one file and did not mix with the footage of other scenes.
And all the scenes were placed chronologically.
Theo was very pleased with their organization.
He would have a much better time when editing if everything was organized.
Kanna was very methodic and she was the one who insisted on doing that, and her decision was the right one because Theo was pleased with just that.
'I hope the footage is good.' He said inwardly.
The organization of the footage is just one of the factors.
The quality of the shots was what mattered.
Theo clicked in the first shot of the first scene of the script.
He would not start editing right away.
He needed to watch every single shot that was filmed and judge them.
Mistakes could happen, so Theo was looking for mistakes that the crew might have done.
Therefore, Theo had to watch the whole footage filmed by Arthur and the crew.
And that would take some time.
So, Theo picked up a notebook to write down any observations about the shots as he watched the footage.
His eyes were focused as he analyzed everything.
The actors' performance, the lighting settings, the camera movements, the photography settings, the scenic surroundings, the props, clothes, and many other things.
Theo's enhanced mind worked in overdrive as he analyzed all these things.
But would this footage be good enough?
