(What did you just say?)
"Shadow, I've got another mission for you…" Scarlet approached me from behind and crosses her arms
"Call me EVE now, so, what is it?" I looked back at her and she handed me a piece of paper
"We're going to destroy the rumour that was spread on the city of Gilnshe."
"Who is behind this?" I looked at her and she pointed a guy on the back
"Frisk is the only guy here who can get much information we need"
"Hello. Call me Frisk, you can get easy on me since I don't do combat." Frisk bowed to introduce himself
"I see." I smiled and introduced back, "So, what do you need to know?" Frisk crosses his arms and smiled at me
"Who is behind all these rumours?"
"It's Jake Graham; he is the son of the duke of Gilnshe"
(Son of the duke, does that mean that he is also Luke Graham's brother?!)
"Yes, he usually goes around the city and brags about his riches, and one more thing…he is now working with his big brother Luke"
(I knew, if anyone could destroy them it would only be the royal blood, but it would ruin their father's reputation…)
"What are the rumours about?"
"It is about us: the deathbringers, who killed the king of Forehelm kingdom: Keith Stranfreign"
(The king of Forehelm kingdom?! That seems kinda bad, Forehelm is the biggest kingdom in the continent of Arminuan, they might have strong proof to convince the people and other kings that we did it.)
"Scarlet, when will I start?" I approached her and handed the paper
"We'll work together, since Astro isn't here anymore." She took the paper and put it on sleeve
I nodded, "Well then, we'll start phase one on next week." She put her gloves on and patted my shoulders then passed behind me
That night I couldn't sleep, probably because I think too much this night, I sat up from the bed and walked towards the captain's balcony
*sigh* (How am I going to know who [Adam] is? I joined the deathbringers to know more about him but I have no trace. Time's running up, I need to get back to my old life, but, how?)
"You're awake."
I looked behind and Scarlet was there reading a paper, "You don't sleep do you?"
"I do."
Well that was unexpected
"On daylight."
I knew it
"What are you doing on all those papers?" I sat down in front her
"I am not as good as strategies like Astro, so, I am figuring out a plan" she looked towards the drawer and approached it
"What happens when we fail?" I took one paper
"Our identity will be exposed" she came back with more papers
"I see." I read the paper I had on my hands—it was disturbing
"Anyways we need to come up of a solution until next week" Scarlet took the papers and put them all back in the drawer
"Shado—no, Eve, you'll do your best right?" she put her coat on the hook, and went inside the bunk beds
"Yes ma'am." I bowed to show some respect and she just stood there and walked away
The next day…
Morning came and I stretched my arms, Astro is no longer here which means no one's going to make me coffee again
"!!!" Where's everyone?
I looked side to side and ran outside the room, the whole cabin is on fire and the dragon is missing, "What happened?!!" I shouted angrily even though there's no one there, I looked down below, the whole cabin is falling
What makes me even more surprised is that, below me, the whole country is on fire
A man stood there a few meters in front of me, holding a bottle of gas, and he smiled
"I told you. We will become Adam and Eve in this world." He dropped the bottle and smiled
"—!!!"
(What?! THAT was a dream?) I held my head as it aches, I walked towards the balcony, Frisk and Scarlet were there having a breakfast
"Good morning" Frisk greeted me warmly while sipping his chocolate drink
"Uhh, yeah, good morning" I greeted back as I closed my eyes
"You seem stressed, did something happen last night?" Frisk puts his paper on the table and sipped his cocoa drink
"Yeah, I have a really bad dream actually..." I sat on the table and cleared my throat
"What is it?"
"Hmmm, I honestly forgot" I smiled awkwardly, "Eve, you're acting weird ever since the incident." Frisk takes a cup of water
(Yeah, even me myself has never knew why I am like this.)
I nodded and continued to eat my food, "Eve, come with me." Scarlet took two pieces of paper and put it in her sleeve, she beckoned over me
"Uh, yeah okay." I put my mask on and she shrugged at me
"Where are we going anyway?" I put on my coat and ran after her, she waited for me when she hopped down from the cabin, "Uh, wait." I hopped down and she nodded as I land
"We are not going to do our mission this day..." she walked towards the harbor, "Uhh, okay, tell me if I need to do anything."
(That's unusual of her...)
"Instead, tell me something about the certain someone that made you join the deathbringers." she walked calmly and he brown hair came flapping because of the wind
"Huh?" she stopped as I spoke that word, she looked at me, "Tell me, you don't need to suffer more because of that someone." she crossed her arms and tilted her head
(Who?! Who is it? What?! I suddenly can't remember anything...what is this?!)
"You can tell me later when we come back, first we need to go somewhere..." she interrupted, and walked straight towards the city, "Scarlet..." she looked back me
"What?"
"N-nothing...." I laughed awkwardly and she continued to walk
(She's making me quit, for my sake....)
I walked back along her, we kept walking and walking until we arrived to our destination, "This is it." she spoke, "You can go and live freely here, you need to leave, you don't deserve to suffer like this." she looked back at me
Suddenly, an image of someone-- who looks exactly like me, smiled through and through.
My head hurts, my body hurts, my chest hurts.
I began to realize.....
"Who?! Who is it?! What is this?! Who am I?!!" Scarlet looked at me when I said those words
.....who am I?
