Reality

The three of us went downstairs to take dinner.

"This is my first time taking dinner at the witches hour" I said as I munch on the food that is infront of me, having not eaten for fourteen days takes it's toll.

"woah calm down there boy, hehe" Michael says and laughs nervously. "By the way about my parents" Michael gulps "Did they come looking for me while I was out?" I said curiously.

"E-Erm no they didn't" Michael answered. "Hm thats strange....normally they would be worried sick" They should be worried, right? I asked myself.

"Aedon, I have something to tell you" Michael said seriously. "Haha no problem just tell me after we meet my parents" Aedon you- "Yeah, yeah, I know, slow down with the eating, by the way do you have a napkin?" your pare- "mm this bread is delicious" AEDON! Michael shouts as he slams the dinning table."What?" Aedon asked ill-manneredly, not wanting to hear or see reality, he was deep in his on world.

"Aedon your parents a-are already gone" Michael says miserably, looking down at the table. "Haha, no way, calm down doc, I need a drink i'm parched.....can I get a drink" Aedon says jokingly, but slowly understanding reality.

"Aedon..."

"WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!" Aedon shouts out, demanding an answer. "Calm down boy! They are on a hill behind the village" Michael answers

Aedon picks up a lantern that was by the window and runs towards the door. Michael stretches forwards and grabs hold of Aedons arm "Where do you think you're going"

"None of your buissness, let go of me!" Aedon desperately tries to shake Michael off, but it wasn't enough. Michael a full grown adult can easily overpower Aedon who is young and weak little boy.

Anna then tries pulling her father away from Aedon, Michael looks at her. "Anna?" Let him go father, atleast let him see them. Michael slowly lets go of the struggling young boy, "It pouring out there!" Michael shouts trying to warn Aedon.

After being let go of Aedon stormed out of the house, once he got outside he desperatly tried looking for the hill. The momment he saw a glimpse of the "hill" he ran towards it like there was no tomorrow.

"Why? Why? Why?" Aedon repeatedly asked himself while he was running. "Why? How did things end up like this?" Aedon's tears that he held back started flowing out of his eyes. "We just wanted to start fresh in a new country, why did you take it from me? Is there a god out there? Is there any higher being pulling the strings? If so, why the hell did you mess up my string, why did you have to pull them out of my life?"

Aedon kept venting out his feelings to the world, to whoever could hear or listen to his cry. He ran and ran towards the hill, tripping, tumbling, nothing stopped him. Even when his arms and legs started bleeding. He continued on, standing up once more, he just wanted to see his parents.

The poor boy finally reached the bottom of the hill, he started climing, slipping on multiple rocks and mudslides. With all the bruises, skratches, scrapes, and cuts, Aedon finally reached the top.

Once he saw the graveyard, Aedon stopped for a second. While slowly catching his breath, he asks himself "Are you sure? Do you really wanna see them?" either way it won't end well for me, so who cares. He said to himself.

He slowly limps towards his parents grave. Once he was close enough, he read the enchantment written on a stone above their grave saying "I hope their lost souls will be guided by the light heaven"

Heaven? Ha, he giggled. Heaven huh? As if! "If heaven even is real, then this world shouldn't be feeling like hell" Aedon said. He then looked down at his parents grave slowly falling on his knees, "why? Am I crying? I don't even know them much" What the hell? Why did I say that? "How dare you even think that, they were your parents, right?" Arghh what am I even saying right now? A spark flew at Aedon and he suddenly started digging up the grave with his barehands.

He kept on digging until he saw the pendant his mother was wearing, he snatched the pendant from her decomposed neck. "Why did mom always wear this anyways?" He opens the pendant and sees a beautifully carved quote saying "We aren't alone in this big universe"

"Alone? Why did mom carry this?" He wears the pendant that once belonged to his mother, and continued to dig. He then found a ring his dad was wearing, it was a ring made from pure gold. Aedon wore the ring casually, and continued digging.

He kept on digging until he asked himself "wait what the hell am I doing? W-Why am I digging up my parents grave?" His eyes were finally awoken again, he looks at the rotten hands of his father he dug out.

His eyes filled with horror as the lightning struck behind him, he slowly started backing off of the grave, tripping on the dirt that pilled up while he was digging.

Suddenly a hand came from his parents grave and grabbed him on the leg. Aedon was so terrified he let out a loud shout. "WHAT THE!!!" The rotten body of his father started crawling out while holding his leg and pleaded for Aedon to save him.

"My boy, please save your father. please! please! please!" Aedon's father got louder and louder, so loud it seemed like it woke up his mothers dead body too.

His mothers body started rising from the grave, and walked towards Aedon. Until suddenly stopping, "W-WHAT?!" Aedon questioned.

Three people walked out from the shadows, it was a group of necromancers. "Who the hell are you guys, and what do you want with me?" Aedon asked. "My, my, we don't have the slightest idea of who you are young boy" Answered a man who seemed to be their master.

"We just happend to find each other in this predicament" said the man. "You see the body of those two, interest me very well, they aren't your normal "dead bodies" their death is unknown, but sadly the sheriff really needed to take them away from me on such a short notice"

"The bodies of these are very strange indeed, it's as if they were planted there by someone" The man said, intrigued by the bodies.

* "Those idiots! He might be learning too much, hurry up and get him" *

* "B-But Gaia, there are people with him down there" *

* "I do not care, get him quickly" *

"Im very sorry boy, but we don't want any nuisances" said the man. Aedon was confused, scared, cold, and worried of whats to come to him and his parents bodies. "Why did you have to control me like that and even raise my parents from the dead?" Aedon asked.

"Well I guess I can tell you that since you're already gonna die, hm because I wanted some entertainment?" The man answered. "No way...." Aedon thought to himself looking down at the ground, not caring about anything anymore. "This is good, I don't wanna live knowing that the two people who I love the most are dead and the fact that there are sickos in this world like him." Aedon closes his eyes hoping his next life will be better than this, if there even is such a thing.

The man looks at his two apprentices and orders them to kill him "Kill that boy!"

* "B-But lady Gai-" *

* "LOOK!!! Hurry up before he gets killed!" *

* "Oh shoot" *

As the two apprentices started charging towards Aedon with knives in their hands, just when the tip of the knife was about to pierce Aedon on his face, a lightning struck down on Aedon.

The two men were pushed away, and everything went back to normal, the grave was back to how it originally was, and the necromancer never examined the body of Aedon's parents, the three necromancers woke up after the lightning struck, asking themselves "Where are we?"

Aedon wakes up somewhere in the clouds, "is this heaven" he asks himself.

"Sadly not young boy, welcome to the realm of the gods"
