The shopping mall. Mystic location filled with God's children, Humans. Personally, I visited one once when I was a newborn. Since then, no more. I'm always busy with meetings and Blu keeps saying later.
But I still remember the atmosphere. A sweaty tensed humoured air. Laugh of kids, teens and adults. Millions of product to discover. Like, who wouldn't want to spend their life there?
"Concentrate."
I mean, no offense. But going at a beach and risking sunburnt. Or worse, voyeurism. My body is so hot. People can't stop staring at me.
"Concentrate.."
Or is it because of my throat scar. I know it isn't that glamour. But look at it positively, I'm Unique.
"Béni, I'm talking to you..."
I got that scar before I was born. While still stuck in my mother's belly, she got attacked by witch and Human. And during the attack, two arrows were shot with great precision. One strucked the heart. The other, me. I nearly died that day. But like my aunt used to say, 'Your Father Opened Your Mother's Belly And Got You Out. He Then Saved Your Life..'
Happy ending for me, but my mother died in the process.
"Will you respond when I'm talking to you?"
Her name was Mei mdoeé. And I believe people called her a 'Calamity'. She died before I could know her. So my father described her.
Smiley woman. Always dressed with Louis Vouitton. Cowboy hat. And loafers..
My mother had a special style. And everyone respected that. I respect that. She's responsible for the world of Today. She freed her people, Immortals from slavery. She gave us all a chance. And what do you think the world gave her in return?
"Béni...? Are you okay??"
An arrow in her heart. An arrow directed at her baby.
That arrow took her immortality away and she perished. She just died..
"Béni??? What's going on??"
She just died... I couldn't walk with her to the shopping mall. I could never laugh it out with her. I could never tell her, 'I Love You'.
Don't bother ask how it happened. The arrow shattered away as soon as she strucked my mother. No traces left behind. As if it was the work of God.
Anyway, I'm sorry I got a bit tensed. Where was I? Right, the shopping mall. It's a cosy place to spend time with the family if you have one. If not, welcome in the club..
"Are you okay??"
"Yea, Blu. I'm good.. I was just talking to myself too intensely. So, did you find the West Queen, Maldea?"
"I did.. Bad news, She's dead. Apparently, Lady Fleur Rose came here before us.."
"Ahh! She's stopped hiding? Is that why the East wants her now?? Okay, Blu, let's fish her!!"
"The stupid version of yourself is back. Better like this... You scared me back then. Let's go fish Fear.."
