Chapter 98: Who Are You? (1)

Azazel tighten his hold on the bag, looking back at the disappearing library at the end of the forest.Some of the left over foods fell to the ground but he never really cared for that.He stop once he was in a good distance away from thr library, panting like crazy with every beat of his heart really hurts just from running.

Again, some blue particles was left behind with them disappearing for a few seconds.

It started to scare him really with those blue fragments leaving his body.

He wipe off the sweat that stream down his forehead, his eyes looking straight ahead and he is expecting his bestfriend also running away from the library.

But, there's no sign of him everywhere.

He went to tug the cloak but he was left shock, there's no cloak protecting his appearance, even though the forest was never really people cup of tea.Some merchants still cross the forest before they can enter the town.

"What a bad luck ah?" He muttered, he look back and forth between the bag and the library.

He didn't expect Creed to have magic when in fact you can only have magic at the age of 18 but Creed is 16 years old and at the same age as him. It was a pretty scary vines that are really long and thick that scream danger.

His eyed nervoudly look back at the livrary and the town that was only few meyterd away, he can see all the people crossing the road and some children playing catch.

"Fucking hell of a shit..."

He untied the ribbon that is holding his hair, he tied the ribbon on his wrist and messily ruffle his hair to nake him look like a beggar for anyone not to approach him for being suspicious.He also grab a handful of mud and scrape it off with his clothes, it was a perfect disguise for them not to notice him.

Now, he needs to go to the town to grab some things he needed.

Hope that Creed is not in danger.

-----

Khairro winced as he stood up, his back is killing him at such young age but right now, it didn't matter to him but that's not the right time to complain as he watch Creed cried.

The same features that cried when Alistair thought that he was Red all along.

He wanted to spoil the male with his kisses and hugs but he can't come near him because the male will keep pushing him away. As he, is indeed have a wife and children that is waiting for him.

"I'm..."

"No...it's okay, I mean you weren't gay in the beginning..." Creed muttered, spunning around to walk away from the scene, avoiding the male at all cost.

"Alistair please le—"

"Please...Khairro...We can't anymore, i'm a child and you already have a fam—"

Khairro steps were wide and fast as his hand reaching towards the male to pull him back to his embrace.

"My family is dead Alistair, Alex and I are the only one left and we need to continue the family t—"

Suddenly, Creed slap the man's hand away, he was smiling that Khairro was unable to stop the male from slapping his hand away.

"So family tree is much more important than me?Gosh, I wish was reborn as a female so I CAN produce a child, but no i'm a male and I can understand you Khairro, you want to continue the Symthe generations and I'm not against it so can you please let me go n-now?"

Khairro lips were straight into line, his eyes meeting the orange dull orbs that was use to shine and twinkle as their eyes met, but it was all gone because of him being too late to save him years ago.

Khairro was devastated when he heard his brother, lover was dead.Eli killed the two who used to trust her and considered her as a sister that they can leaned on.Next, was his Father and his younger sister who were killed by Samael pawns, the two are innocent who was just involve in the war.

They killed the both without mercy, tearing their limbs apart and drinking their blood.

He almost killed himself but what would Alistair reaction will be if he only wasted his life like that? So, Clement help him move on, even though Khairro never really wanted to have kids and not unless with Alistair, but he need someone to continue the Smythe generations as Alex didn't want to get married and just pursued his career as a commander of the troops.

He sighed, it was all his fault and now he wanted Alistair to come back to him when he hurt the male, with having a child and it wasn't Alistair who wake up next to him every morning.

He slowly, let go of Creed's wrist and is about to say the three words one last time bef—

"Creed!Run!"

Suddenly, and unexpectedly, a smoke bomb was throw at them and filled the entire second floor with smoke that blocked their visions with each other.

Khairro didn't hesitate to run and chase the male, it's better for them to not see each other anymore as Alistair don't love him anymore, he must have found somebody new.

Khairro crouched down, his hands covering the teary eyes from the pain he felt before and right now, it's starting to cone back to him.

It was his karma for leaving him.

----

The two boys luckily got passed the three who were also running towards the second floor, with Azazel holding the male's hand and runs towards the forest.

The two stop panting as they run really fast to a good distance away from the library.

Creed was being utterly quiet, he didn't speak a single word or line to him.

Did they torture him or something?!

Azazel wipe off the mud that git into his face with a clean towel he brought with money, and gave it to Creed who was swesting very hard and does he sweat with his eye—

Oh, he was crying?!

"What did they do to you Creed?!Are you hurting somewhere?!" Azazel asked, both of his hands holding Creed's shoulder, looking everywhere to see if he's injured.

"I'm fine....Let just go home...I'm tired."

The latter mumbled, Azazel stared at him in concern, but if going home makes Creed happy, then he will do that just for his friend.

Azazel hook his arm around the male, the other hand holding the bag and as the two went back to the town in silence.

---

"Welcome back Prince Aza—"

"Will you shut the hell up Daewi?!"

"You shut the hell up Valerie!You always complain there and over there for any useless things!"

The maid gulped down, staring concernlh for the Prince as the two were fighting again just because of a useless stuff again.

Azazel just sighed, it was normal for him since these past 3 months, the two couple can only argued everywhere but he was relief that Gwen wasn't part of that fight as she was only staying in the garden with her mind floating everywhere.

Azazel nodded at the poor maid who witness the everyday couple fight, he handed the bag and took out the book first before going upstair towards his chamber, with his sister accompany him.

"Mom won't allow me to be a knight!It's annoying!" Kristel grumbled with her two arms crossed by the chest as she keep up with the pace of her brother.

"You want to be a knight?" Azazel asked, ruffling her hair in the process, she nodded.

"I want to be one so I can protect everybody!Heck, I don't want to be a princess."

Her personality reminded him someone, it was creepy as another female appeared in the hallway, it was blurry but he could tell the appearance of a child with pink dazzling hair, and red ruby eyes that are smiling as well.

It disappear after a few seconds with blue fragments following after, of course he was the only one who saw that.

"I too, want to be an explorer.But right now, we can't do that as you can see our parents are fighting again."

The two looked at each other before sighing.It was all seriously hell as the two suddenly got into a fight even without Gwen appearing suddenly, the first time his Father;Daewi brought the female.

Instead of being hurt, Valerie was suprised and was sniling at first but then her expression vanished.

The two finally reach Azazel chamber, Kristel bid him goodbye as she said she need to do some secret training for her to be a future knight someday.He close the door and change his clothes as well took a bath to get rid of all the muddy sticking into him.

He plop himself on the bed, too tired to opened his eyed as he drifted into the wonderland, where he met alot of friends and even like som—

Suddenly, his eyes shot opened and again, instead of being inside the white room.He find himself infront of a balcony with a huge waterfall in the distance, the sky were dark as it was already night here.

Fireflies surrounding him as flowers bloomed when his feet touched the floor.

He glance everywhere with his eyes sparkling at the new dream he is in right now.Did the adventure made him imagine this place cause it was really mythical.

Suddenly, the same voice that keeps telling him were clear and was very close to him, as if the man was standing behind him.

"Welcome back Azazel."
