I crept into the catacombs quietly and swiftly. No one seemed to be within these tombs today. Why should they be? They should be out, busy celebrating, and I'm about to do the same. I should know how much a mother would do to protect their own. I just hope everyone's having a nice time. No crime so far. I slowly crept through the rusty pipes of the tombs until I reached my destination: 2 coffins sitting side by side with each other with a portrait above showing a light-skinned, brown haired Mom and a tan, black haired dad, smiling joyfully at their adopted son.
"Hey guys.." I greeted wistfully at the pictures. "Today's a special day today. I think you should know. I just.. want to give you something Mom. I know you're gonna like this!" ZAC dug in his chest to reveal a small brown cupcake in a plastic bag. It was very similar to the cakes that they would make together on celebrations though much smaller. "Ta-da! Finally did it on my own! Took me a while to find the ingredients, but it's all worth it!" I stared silently at the photos, waiting for a response. Nothing came out. This was awkward.
"Well.. I hope you guys are doing great wherever you guys are. I just.. don't know what to do anymore. I'm living with a mutated rat with thoughts of taking over the world.. Those scientists that you worked for are still after us.. I still end up doing more damage than helping others.. I just.. need something from you guys. But.. I'm asking too much aren't I? Especially for today. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I hope you like the gift."
I placed the cupcake on the coffin and sat there staring at the picture solemnly in the dark musty catacombs of Zaun.
