Nezumi was scared by this man named Lucius questions began building up in his mind such as how dose he know me ? why did he know I would be hear ?
"Nezumi come with me I will show you a way out"
Reluctantly Nezumi followed Lucius as they walked Lucius asked Nezumi
"Do you come hear because you like my home or because you dislike your own home?"
After thinking about it Nezumi decides to answer truthfully "A bit of both I suppose I really hate being at home but I like how calming it is hear"
"Why do you hate your own home?"
"My father ignores me completely and mother will beat me over the littlest of things "
Lucius felt a sharp pain in his chest hearing this it made him want to punish Nezumi's parents and to keep him there with him
"Nezumi you could always stay hear if you want if ever you feel you need to get away just come to me I will do whatever I can for you"
Hearing this made Nezumi feel happier than he could ever remember being and brought a slight blush to his pale cheeks.
"Thanks Lucius I will do that " Nezumi started to feel more comfortable around Lucius after this.
"Lucius who are you and why where you hear?" asked Nezumi suddenly wanting to know more about Lucius
"This is my home that's why I am hear and I am a God the God of rats to be exact I have live hear for century's but I think I will soon travel this world but only if you are with me "
Lucius answered not wanting to lie to his beloved Nezumi .
Lucius mind began to wander back to a time when he was worshipped by the people that was when this massive temple was built for him he also uses to have shrine maidens that where given the name Nezumi . Lucius had always liked his shrine maidens but never loved any of them but this present day Nezumi made Lucius heart beat faster and he felt pain when he knew Nezumi was hurt Lucius remembered the day his rat's found the pregnant woman's body and chewed the baby free insuring the child would live and how his rat's had helped him keep an eye on Nezumi ever since.
His temple had long been abandoned by the people for a foreign God Lucius laughed to himself the foreign God didn't even exist if he had the laws of the Gods would have forced him to meet Lucius to kick him out of his new territory.
Nezumi wondered why Lucius stayed in this ruined temple why not just go else where .
Once Lucius showed Nezumi how to get out he said "Whenever you want to see me come to this entrance and follow it back to where we met today"
"thank you Lucius I will come back I promise" Nezumi looked at Lucius as a smile spread across his face Nezumi's heart beat faster at the site .
