Adam has a mission. An important mission that includes his dear family of 13 people.
First, he have to search for The Heart, his nemesis, the one that makes him happy in crushing its fragments;Innocence. Once he found The Heart, he shall crush it and deliver the Three Days of Darkness and make a new world with his family again.
But why he is standing here being amazed by the field of wheat he just stumble upon. The color of gold and the whispering of winds are etched to his mind. He lives for 7000 years already so he knows where the world have its beauty. Sometimes he visits a cave filled with glowing moss and beautiful stalagmites. Sometimes he goes to that spot where he knows he can see the stars clearly while being surrounded by dead trees. Recently he went to a land that so close being submerged by the sea and he stood on the middle of it admiring the beauty because the sea reflects the sky so it will feel like he stood in the sky. Earth always changes every time while constantly being the same and so he really admire natures.
And this wheat of field in front of him is so beautiful he want to just stand here forever. Which will hinder his mission.
"This wheat field has been here for generations. Beautiful isn't it," said a girl while taking his top hat that just dropped by the wind.
Maybe the wheat field isn't the one who hindering him.
His gloved hand which still holding the cane is touching the bark of a dead tree besides him. He turns his head from the scenery to the girl who found him fainted in front of her house and took care of her. He already said thank you and left to continue the mission but he got struck here.
Now that he sees her clearly with sun hitting her face, he can't hold his tears to fall freely. Watching it, the girl just laughing, "Is it too beautiful until you cried, mister?"
"...yes" no of course not.
"I see, I'm glad this favorite place of mine being liked to you Sir," she smiles staring ahead.
"...am"
"Am?" She turns his head to the man who looks unsure at first.
"Adam. Please call me Adam. May I know your name, miss?" his smooth voice amazed her.
Her smiles got brighter " I'm Katerina. Katerina Eve Campbell! I was surprised earlier you just left the mansion without saying anything that I was worried you still disoriented" she laughs and handling him a handkerchief for wiping the tears.
"I'm sorry my act earlier was so disrespectful but I have reasons..."
"It's alright~ So, will you be able to get back to your home?"
"Yes I can. Thank you for your concern, Eve" The name he calls her startled them both. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have-"
"It's alright! I'm comfortable being called Eve too." her words makes Adam smiles a bit for awhile.
His hands feels itchy.
"Oh, that is Cornelia," she said after seeing him staring at the dead tree beside them,"No one have the heart to cut the tree down. Kids in generations usually always playing around this tree. I too loved to climb this tree when I was little until mother scold me saying I should have act like a proper lady instead of climbing Cornellia"
"Cornellia... I see..." his face looks solemn now.
"Something the matter?"
"No, no there is not," Adam answered it too fast he mentally cringe at himself.
"You can talk to me if you want," Katerina look at him with concerns.
At first he just stood there staring on the tree, "...Can I, can I come here again sometimes?"
"What a silly question Mr. Adam, you can come here anytime!"
"Thank you so much," Adam nod his head in a sigh.
"Oh my oh my, There must be something matter! Is there a dust in your eyes? Do you want me to blow it for you?," Katerina really is worried now that he is crying more than before. Until he let out a small laughs.
"No, I'm just happy," I'm sad
"To be able to meet you," I don't want this to end.
"And this wheat field so beautiful," I don't want to destroy the world yet.
He push his weight to Cornellia smiling painfully hiding behind his long hair from Katerina's view.
When my mission ended, the world will meets it ends once more.
Is this why you stay here with her, Cornellia?
No...
The Heart?
HC 1: Dundundun what if Cornellia is The Heart!
