Prologue
Simon walked along the empty streets of Kamina City, street lamps flickering as he passed. He always seemed to affect the things around him in strange ways, without really noticing. Simon heard a crunching noise, and then paused to turn around. After making sure nothing was following him, Simon kept walking.
It had been three years after he had left everyone at the wedding. Simon still sort of regretted not saying goodbye, but he couldn't just go back and face everyone after three years. So Simon just lived with what he had, being a shadow in the alleyways of the city he had created. Even though it was such a short time, the spiral energy inside him had already begun creating a mini galaxy. His left eye flickered bright green from time to time, until one day it stayed that way.
Simon heard the crunching noise again, then heavy breathing. Simon decided against turning around, fearing what could possibly be behind him. Whatever it was spoke in a tired voice, "You're a fast little brat, aren't ya?"
The voice sounded very familiar. No, Simon knew exactly who it was. How could he forget? The voice was sharp, as if it couldn't get out of his mouth without gaining an edge. Simon smiled softly to himself. "Viral."
"Good, looks like you haven't forgotten about everyone after all." Simon turned around, looking at his old comrade with mismatched eyes. Viral was wearing what he wore before he got thrown in jail; worn red scarf, tan cloak, and his old uniform. Simon always thought of it as his wanderer clothes. "I suppose a lot has changed since you left."
Simon nodded. He had seen many sights, but it had all seemed to happen so quickly. Simon wondered if Viral felt the same way, or if being immortal made things different. "How about we get out of the streets, maybe gather the rest of the crew and throw a big welcome home party? It would be fun, I think."
Viral frowned. Simon didn't think he would like that idea, considering his look. Viral looked at the floor for a moment, and then shrugged slightly. "Sure…"
Simon wondered why Viral seemed so down and out of it. Was it something he had said? Simon put the thought aside and told Viral to follow him.
