Where is the peace (24)
Humming, he fold his clothes and looked at the rice being cooked in the pot. As soon as he finish folding his clean clothes, he keep them in a box and put it under the bed.
The rice will still take a bit more time for it to be fully cooked, so he went to prepare the other dish to be eaten with the rice.
He clean up the fish he just caught this morning, removing it's scale and innards, and cut it to half before he wash it with clean water. He took a pot and put some oil as he light up some fire.
He put the onions and some chilli he already cut, and when the oil is hot enough, he put the fish in and fry it together, making the aroma of fish and onions mixed together, making him feel hungry.
Smiling, he put a bit of water and some ketchup, making the fish got some sauce.
It was not long before he ready up the food for his lunch. Humming again, he serve the dish on a plate and put on the table. Taking another plate, he went to get the rice and sit at the table to enjoy his food.
This is Miran current life, after he ran away from the castle, he went to who knows which small village in the kingdom, and lived like an ordinary people. He live in a hut that the villager helped to build for him, went out to help the elderly take care of their farm.
It was a calm and slow life, and he has been living there for quite a few years, managed to grow up into an adult as he live there alone.
The king did not come to find him nor he send people to come bring him back. It seemed that the king has decided to just crown Siran as the heir, no more hassle.
So he has been living a happy live here, although he do feel a bit lonely and missed Shina and Ryan. They were good living as before, but it just have to be ruined by such a simple thing.
Miran move to the next three and swept the surrounding leaves, somehow he can feel that it is soon time for him to leave, this probably count as a way to fulfill that wish, and probably the bare minimum.
Going around and travelling is tiring. Getting to know people and socialize with them is also tiring. So just staying in a small place like this, with no need to travel around, meeting with new people, surviving day by day with a simple dish, just feel enough for a calm life.
Miran went to the shed, he put back the broom there, arranging the tool neatly, and went to the elderly house to said goodbye to them. He finished helping them and now can go off for lunch.
Receiving a smile from them, Miran went back to the hut he is living at, only to see there were two people standing in front of his hut.
"Are you two here to bring me back? Just give up, I'm not moving away from here." Miran said to them and crossed his arm. He watched as they come closer to him.
"No, we knew that you will not want to come back..." Siran looked at Miran, shaking his head, "father just send us here to give you this." He took out a small red box, and pass it to Miran.
"What is this for?" Miran looked at the box, it was light, and when he shake it, there was no sound in it. But the green letter were glowing when he was holding the box as he felt that there was something in there that is important to him.
"Father said, you will know as soon as you open it." Siran said with a bit frown. He seemed to worry about something.
"I see.. then you two can return back. I'll accept this box." Miran went into his hut and sat down, he looked at the door, could feel that the two of them were still there.
Shaking his head, he open the box. There were a breath of freshness that comes out as soon as he open it. Closing his eyes, he enjoyed the short moment, not noticing a green gem flew out and went into his forehead.
With a thud, Miran fell to the floor, and the hut door opened just as his head hit the floor. Only Klein came in, with a white clothes, he put it over Miran and bring him out.
Siran wiped his eyes and together they went to the carriage while carrying Miran.

"..." He was back at the black space, the quietness is very calm as he stay there for awhile. There were a bit of light inside, glowing just next to him who floated in the air motionlessly.
Turning to look at that light, it reflected the green color if a gem, floating around him like a little light orb. Reaching out his hand, the green light turn to white as he once again stopped moving.
---
Orion, Orion. The one who was abandoned.
The people does not want him, so he was pushed away with a sneer.
Orion Orion, staying in the wood, living in solitude.
He life there for a long time, living a quiet life until he met a friend as he was reading his book.
Orion Orion, hitting the cold floor.
His head were bleeding, his heart stopped beating.
He die in the end, not understanding why did he die.
----
Children voice can be heard as he opens his eyes. He looked down at his small finger, on both of them were black chain.
"Eat your lunch, kid." An uncle put a bowl of poridge, his scarred face looked ugly when he smiled, and often time cause everyone to feel scared of him.
"Thank you uncle.." taking that poridge, he eat them slowly as he enjoy the simple and plain taste of the grain.
That uncle smiled and walked away while humming, and sat on a wooden log, picking the fish that he grilled as he went to give the food to him. "Orion." The uncle came back to where he is and dropped pieces of the fish into the bowl of pooridge.
"Eat more. Live well." He said with a smile, and went back to eat as he continues to humm happy tone.
Quietly, he eat as he watches that uncle, this place is at the side of a forest, while he was in a big cage with his feet and arm chained to it. Around the cage there was the other guys, the same group with this uncle.
They were chatting and laughing as they ate. The scene ends and he return to that black place. "So it was a memory of mine.." he muttered and close his eyes. "so that was my name.."
