Herald enters slowly, the place is really calm but he can already feel the different atmosphere in this part of the world compared to Koufonisi.
It was so clean and refreshing in there, but here it's all gloomy and uncomfortable.
Anyways, he has to think of the bright side as well.
Back to his woman, near his parents and friends, and all the art he can make now being inspired from the moments he spent in there.
It's going to be good as well!
He took a tour in the house, everything was pretty much the same from when he left it.
"So I am the only thing changed in here!" He said.
He took a dive on his bed, that's one thing he also missed.
One will also miss the bed he slept in for a long time, especially if you've made a lot of memories in there...
"What will I tell her now? I know she'll be happy for my arrival in the first days but then...
She'll be curious to know everything i did abroad, I don't even have a license that prooves i studied abroad...And she'll surely notice how i put on more weight and strength!
Will that make her think of something else?
Anyways, I'll figure it out when i'll look at her eyes..."
*1hour later*
The door was opened!
Herald was looking through his works he left in here..
"She's here!"
Herald thought about staying in the room until she comes fto find him in there, to surprise her.
But he's hearing another voice...
"What's that...It's a man's voice!" He remarked.
Muruem. "Welcome Endymeon! Don't feel shy.
It isn't the best of places but it's still nice and clean."
Endymeon. "No it's not anything like that...I just thought whether it was okey for me to go in."
Muruem. "Well it's only for a moment, i'll make some coffee since you like it."
Endymeon. "I appreciate that."
Then, Herald comes out of nowhere and leaned on the wall.
"Didn't know you'll have guests, or else i would have came a little bit later!"
Muruem turns quickly, to see Herald standing...
Before she could even reply, in the span of less than a second!
She had already said so much in her head.
'..Herald...Herald is here!! I thought he'll come tomorrow....Wait!
Why does he look different!!?
His body...did he get stronger and...taller??
...Why does his eyes look like that?
Oh!! He doesn't know who's Endymeon!!
UGH FUCK!!! Not a very good setting to introduce the two...'
All of this came into her head so quickly...This was the result of the unexpected appearance mixed with the importance of the person, and then the awkward setting!
But unwillingly she came closer towards Herald. "...You came back!"
Herald. "Must be your imagination!"
*Muruem touches his chest*
"No, it isn't my imagination. It's really you!"
She hugs him tightly, without saying much further.
Herald puts his arms arround her, but it wasn't the same hug he gave her 3months ago.
After some seconds, he asked.
"Who's the gentleman? It isn't respectful to make him wait like that."
Endymeon stands up just moments after he sat down.
"No, it is me who shall excuse himself. I came in a wrong time and maybe a wrong place.
I am glad you're back Mr Herald, heard a lot about you.
Hopefully we'll cross ways soon.
I'll let you have your moment Muruem."
Muruem was a bit embarassed she invited him in such moment.
"I am sorry Endymeon, I'll make sure to make it up soon to you!"
"No problem, take care of each other." He says as he left and closed the door behind him.
Muruem turns her back and looks straight at Herald.
"Should've told me you're coming dumbass."
Herald. "Thought i'll surprise you, but it was the opposite!
Who's he?"
Muruem. "A friend, i'll tell you all about it later on. For now i only want to hold you in my arms."
Herald. "Hmmmmm, let's take it to another place then."
*Herald picks Muruem up on his arms*
'Did she lose weight?! Ah....I forgot again i got stronger.'
he then took he to the bed and both layed down on it, but a weird silence took over the place.
Supposedly after so long, the two would have a lot to talk about, but maybe it is better that they let the talking for later, and feed their feelings for the time being.
...
*Inside the Luxic Paradigm castle*
"So they're gone?" Oumad asks.
Alkeyder. "Yes they are."
Oumad. "I would like to ask you sir Alkeyder, What's next for them? and us?"
Alkeyder stays silent
Oumad continues. "I know you said the goal is to create a new Atlantis, a new world.
But how? Another question is... All those who you have teached before, where are they now?
Do they just go back to their lives like nothing happened? Or does it become a personal goal to affect the ones arround you?"
Alkeyder stops him. "A lot of questions in a very short span, go easy on me Mr Oumad."
Oumad. "I am sorry..."
Alkeyder. "But i'll answer you! Since you're in for the long run..."
