Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Walking down the hill, even with all the snow, was a lot easier than going up the hill, especially now that I was traveling with someone. We were in a little of a hurry to make it to the town before it got dark or I might have engaged Ludwig in a snowfall fight. I wonder if he would enjoy the fun?

It did not take us long and we were soon in the town, which was having its dinner time rush. It was funny seeing Ludwig try to take in everything that was in Füssen until we got separated in the crowd.

"Excuse me." Ludwig says as he accidently bumps into someone.

As he steps back, he then runs into soemone else. "Sorry."

Taking a step back again, Ludwig only runs into another group of people. This starts to make the German nervous because it was his first time in a crowd. All the bumping and accidently hitting people was making the man feel out of place.

"Feliciano?" Ludwig calls out when he notices that I am missing.

Of course, I had also notice that he was missing. When I heard him call out, I answer "Over here." as I slide in between two Germans.

Approaching Ludwig, I take his hands into mine before we continue walking.

"We need to stay together better." I say as we squeeze our way through another group.

"I am sorry. It is just that I had stop to avoid some people but you kept on walking." responds Ludwig.

"It is not your fault. I kind of forgot that this is your first time being somewhere with so many people."

This seemed to cheer up Ludwig for a small smile came to his face.

We continue traveling until the sign of my hotel came into view. Once we were in front of the hotel, I push open the front door and lead us into the lobby.

"Mr. Veneziano! Good to see you. I got a little worried when you didn't come back yesterday." said the lady behind the counter, who was the same staff member from when I checked in.

"Well, yesterday I had run into a friend and ended up spending the night with him." I answer.

Glancing at Ludwig, who had this slight look of confusion on his face, the lady just smiled. "So will he be stay with you?"

"Of course. Do I need to pay for him?"

"No, because you are already renting a two person room. You will need to pay for any additional days if you want to stay though."

"Okay." I then pay for two more days.

(...)

Once Feliciano was done talking to the lady behind the counter, he took my hand again and lead me up the stairs. As he open the door, I look around the corridor and noticed a lot of other doors the same as the one Feliciano was opening. This must be what a hotel looks like. It is different than what I had read in books.

"Come on, let's go inside." says Feliciano as he steps inside the room with me following him.

Watching my friend jump onto the bed, I knew that I had a ton of questions to ask but I wanted to find some answers on my own.

"Hey Ludwig! You don't have to stand there. Come take a seat." Feliciano says as he pats the spot on the bed next to him.

Walking over to the bed, I take a seat next to my friend. "I have a few questions, Feliciano."

"Like what?" says Feliciano as he focuses on me.

"Well, why did the lady call you Veneziano? You told me your names is Feliciano Vargas."

"Veneziano is my business name." he answers as he looks down at his hands for a few seconds before returning his gaze to me. "You see there are people that would want to stop me or hurt me. So I use a fake name when traveling."

Hearing this does make me wonder about what Feliciano does for a job, but I don't ask. Maybe at a later time.

"Okay, I understand. Next question: Why did you give her those small sheets of paper for the room?"

I can tell by the look on his face that Feliciano was a little surprised by my question.

"The sheets of paper is money. You use those in exchange for goods and service like renting a room. You can get money by performing a job."

"Okay, so I need to get money in order to pay for stuff."

"Yeah but you don't need to worry about that." Feliciano says as he grabs my hand, making me fell warm. "For now just enjoy exploring the world."

The two of us remain like this for a few minutes, enjoying each other company that was until Feliciano's stomach rumbles in hunger.

"Guess I must be hungry." responds Feliciano, with a smile, to the sound of his stomach.

Just then my stomach also rumbles in hunger which causes me to blush.

"From the sound of it, you must also be hungry." Feliciano says with a laugh. "Let me order us something."

(...)

After our dinner of pizza, which Ludwig seemed not to get enough of and make me happy to see him enjoy the simple things, we got ready for bed.

As I change into my PJs, I notice that Ludwig was neatly folding his clothes, like he was not wanting to get wrinkles in it. This made me wonder if he was going to wear a different outfit or not.

"Hey, Ludwig are you going to wear that again?" I asked as I point to his clothes.

"Yes, I didn't pack anything before I left the castle with you. My other two outfits are still there." answers Ludwig as he looks at his own outfit.

"Only three outfits?' I question.

"I was a lot smaller before I came this size."

"Smaller?"

"Yeah about the size of a child."

So he experienced sudden growth like I and other nation had in the past. "So why your guardian made you so few clothes?"

"I think he was surprised by my sudden growth or knew that I would be leaving soon."

"Well that settles it then." I say in a happy tone.

"Settles what?" Ludwig asks me with a confused look on his face.

I approach him, take his hand and lead him to bed before saying, "Tomorrow I am taking you shopping."

(XxXx)

As the two men slept peacefully in the bed, outside a figure with a long thin arms scales the hotel spider-like from the roof to their window. Looking into the window, the figure waits for a few seconds for its third eyelid to help its oval shape eyes adjust to the darkness of the room, compared to the brightness of the full moon. Once its vision had cleared and it was able to conform its targets were inside, it slowly move its four finger hand to rest on the window before it tried to open it.

Suddenly before the figure could move its hand, it found itself with a gapping hole in the middle of its palm, oozing green blood.

Hissing in pain, the figure rotates its elongated head to look over its shoulder. On the rooftop, to the building across the street, rested a Golden Eagle, the beak tip covered in green blood. The two continue starring at each other for a few minutes before the figure climbed back up the hotel wall and disappeared into the night.

(XxXx)

Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I was greeted by the smell of fresh bread. Removing my hands from my face, I saw that Ludwig was sitting at the table, in the same clothes from yesterday, with a small stack of bread rolls.

"I hope you don't mind but I took a few bills and got us breakfast." He says as Ludwig selects a few rolls before walking over to the bed.

"I don't mind." I respond as I take a roll from Ludwig. "I was going to suggest breakfast before we go shopping."

After the same but nice breakfast, we headed out to Füssen's shopping district. The first shop we go into specializes in jeans and other denim clothes. At first I wanted to buy the more expense pairs but from the expression on Ludwig's face that he does not want me to spend that much on him, one of the many things that remind me that he is Germany.

"So what size are you?" I ask.

"Size?" he asks me with a confuse look.

"Around the butt."

This causes a blush to come to his face. "I'm not sure. My outfit lack tags."

"I see." I respond back before I circle him. "You look like a thirty-six."

Fumbling through a stack of jeans, I find a thirty-six. Pulling it out of the pile, I toss it to Ludwig before going through another pile. After pulling out a dark pair of jeans, I usher Ludwig to the changing rooms.

It does not take Ludwig long to suck off his old pants and slide on one of the pairs of jeans.

"Umm...I think they fit." I hear him call out.

"Well, let me see then." I call back.

Opening the changing room door, I can see that they fit well but are they the right size? Asking him to left his shirt, I stick two fingers down the side of Ludwig's jeans to check the waistband. This causes Ludwig to jumps slightly because he did not expect this.

"They are perfect." I answer as I remove my fingers. "Is the darker pair the same brand?"

"Yes." answers Ludwig. I wonder if the surprise has worn off.

"Good." I say as I grab the price tag and rip it off. I see no reason for him to take them off if I am going to make him put them back on. "Let's see if they have a black pair."

Looking through the other tables, I find a black pair of jeans. Picking them up, I head to the counter, Ludwig approaches me with a pair of military green pants.

"I was wondering if you could get these for me." Ludwig asks me shyly. This also reminds me of how shyly Ludwig as Germany use to ask me to buy him something, even when I had offered.

"Sure." I say. In a way I am happy to see that he still likes the color green.

As I pay for the jeans, including the ones Ludwig is wearing, the cashier, who is ringing up the items, tells me about the sell they are having. So it does not cost me as much as I had thought.

"So where to next?' Ludwig asks as we leave the store.

Looking around I notice a shoe store a few shops down. "How about to the shoe store." I say as I point out the store.

"Ummm...sure." responds Ludwig as he returns his gaze to me. He had been looking up at the sky.

"What's wrong?" I asks curious by his action.

"I thought I saw a large shadow fly over head."

"Don't worry. It is most likely to be a pigeon."

"I could have sworn that it was bigger than a pigeon."

"Come on Ludwig. Don't worry about it."

Taking his hand into mine, I lead him down the street and into the shoe store. After getting some help from the assistant on measuring one of Ludwig's feet, so we knew what size to get, I selected a few pairs.

"Do I really need all of them?" Ludwig says when he looks at the stack of shoe boxes.

"Oh no, I thought you could try on different pairs and see which fit the best then you could pick out your favorite." I answer.

"Okay."

Ludwig then proceeds to try on the different pairs of shoes. It is not long before we find three pairs that fit comfortable.

"Can I get this pair," Ludwig selects a pair of running shoes, "and this pair." The second pair looks like a set of black lace up military boots.

"Why don't you put on one pair back on then and we'll get both of them." I said.

Watching him grab the military boots, I place his old shoes in the box and then pick up the box with the running shoes, that are in their box. After paying for them, we head back outside.

"So where would you like to go next?" I ask.

"How about something to eat?" Asks Ludwig.

(XxXx)

As the two passed by an alleyway the couple failed to notice the four fingered grey hands wrapped around a trash can.

(XxXx)

After lunch Feliciano took me to another store. I was getting a little worn out on all the shopping but I didn't want to make Feliciano sad. The new store that we entered had a ton of shirts and accessories.

"Now let's get you a few shirts." says Feliciano as he pulls me along.

Trying on the shirts that my friend selected on me, I found that so many just didn't fit.

"Still to small?" says Feliciano as I pull off the shirt.

"Yes. Maybe you could get some help." I say through the changing room door.

"Yeah, be back in a few."

Hearing Feliciano scamper off, I take a seat on the bench in the room. Taking a moment to calm down, I wonder why I am so tired. Maybe being around people takes a lot of energy?

"Hey Ludwig?" I hear Feliciano call out from behind the door.

"Yes." I answer as I stood up.

"I was able to find some better shirts with some help."

"Okay." I say as I unlock the door, so Feliciano can hand me the shirts.

"Oh, I also found this. Thought you might like it." Feliciano says as he hands me a jacket with the shirts.

The shirts were all one solid color: black, white, green, etc. As for the jacket it was the same military green as the pants that I had pick out earlier today. Around the end of the sleeves was a black band, that was also on the end of the jacket. It had a black belt that could be removed later, and two large pockets, on the lower sections, that had copper colored metal snap buttons. Putting it over the shirt, I was currently trying on, I found that it stops just before the back of my knees. Wearing this made me feel strangely comfortable.

"Would you like to see?" I ask through the door.

"Of course." I hear Feliciano answer happily.

Opening the door, I step out and see my friends eyes get wide. Clapping happily, Feliciano says "That jacket is perfect!"

"Thank you." I blush. Why did hearing Feliciano's statement make me embarrass.

"Umm.. Excuse me?" we then hear a female voice.

Turning to face the owner of the voice, we saw that a sale representative had approached us.

"I was wondering if you like to try this on with the jacket." she said as she handed me a hat.

The hat was the same green as the jacket with a black cross, outline in silver, sown above the bill. For some reason the cross looked very familiar. Putting it on my head, I show my friend what it looked like with the jacket.

"We'll take both!" Feliciano says loudly once he has gotten a full view on me.

"You sure, Feliciano?" Before I had put on the jacket, I had saw the price tag and it was not cheap. He was already spending a lot on me.

"You like it, so of course I'm getting it!" says Feliciano. The sales lady just smiles at us, most likely she finds us to be an interesting pair. "Oh and a few of those shirts." he says as he unintentionally pokes me in the chest.

"Okay then." she says, "If your friend would like to keep wearing them he can, all I need are the tags."

Nodding at her, I then remove the tags from the shirt, the jacket, and the hat, before I reach back into the dressing room and grab the white, grey, and another black shirt.

"These too, please."

After Feliciano pays for all my items, we leave the store.

"So Ludwig, where would you like to go next?" asks Feliciano as he turns to look at my face.

"Well, I..."I start to say as I rub the back of my head.

"Go ahead, Ludwig."

"The thing is that I am feeling tried and would like to return to the hotel room.

(...)

Hearing Ludwig say that he is tired, makes me wonder how late in the day it is. Pulling out my cell phone from my pocket, I can see that it is almost dinner time. Man were the time go? I can not believe that I have shopping with Ludwig all day no wonder he is tired. All this social contact must be overwhelming for him.

"Well it is late, so we can head back to the hotel." I say

"Are you sure? I don't want to ruin your fun." replies Ludwig as he looks down at the sidewalk.

Taking his hand into mine, which makes Ludwig lift his head, I say "It's fine. We have done a lot today."

Keeping his hand in mine, I lead us back to the hotel. Before we returned to the room, I place an order for some food to be brought to our room.

After setting all the bags down on the table, I join Ludwig, who is carefully taking off his new boots, on the bed. "Dinner should be here in a few minutes."

"That's great." he answers back as he pulls off his jacket and gently folds it before setting it on the dresser.

"Would you like to watch some television while we eat?"

"Sure."

It doesn't take long for dinner to arrive and it does not take us long to eat it.

After moving the plates from the bed, I lay down in the bed next to Ludwig. A few minutes later, he moves his arm from behind me to lay it across my shoulders. I don't know if he did this to get comfortable of if it means something more.

Around thirty minutes later, I hear a soft snoring coming from Ludwig. This causes a smile to come to my face. Gently, as I could, I shift Ludwig into a laying position before laying down next to him.

(XxXx)

A grey creature slowly scurries into a small room that is only lit by the moonlight coming through a cloudy window. The figure stops in front of a large chair, where a tall but thin figure sits with its face looking down at its lap.

"MaStEr. ThE rUmOrS aRe TrUe." the grey creature says.

In response to the grey creature's statement, the figure in the chair lifts it's head.

(XxXx)

Woke up before my friend once again. Feliciano must be use to a different schedule than me. As for me, I must have been more worn out from yesterday activities because the sun is already up.

Looking down at Feliciano, I could see that his eyes were closed seamlessly while strands of his brown hair hung down in front of his eyes. His mouth was slightly open, but I could not hear a sound of snoring. I had never seen a calm look like that he had on his face.

Suddenly I found my heart pounding a way in my chest. That is when I realized that during my examining of Feliciano, I had moved closer to his face. In fact, I was close enough that I could fell his warm breath, that was escaping from his lips, against mine own. This made me pull away sharply.

Getting out of the bed, I walked into the bathroom, before I punch one of the titled walls. Why do I keep doing thinks like this? Last night I placed my arm around him and then I almost kiss him this morning.

"Ludwig? Are you okay?" I heard Feliciano call from the other side of the door.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I answer as I open the door.

Feliciano is standing in front of me, only in his pajamas bottoms rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Are you sure? You left the bed so quickly that it woke me up."

"I'm sorry it just waking up next to you and my actions last night..."

"You mean putting your arm around me?"

"Yes...I am afraid that I'll seem to needy and you'll want to leave."

"Aww Ludwig." Feliciano says before hugging me. "I came to Neuschwanstien Castle, your home, with a purpose and it turned out to be you. So I have no plans on leaving any time soon. And besides I didn't mind last night."

"Thank you, Feliciano." I say with a blush as I pull away from the hug. Man I...like Feliciano. I hope nothing gets between us.

"So after breakfast what would you like to do? We got a whole day a head of us and nothing planned."

"Could we just look around Füssen?" I ask since I'm not sure in what activities I want to do. "If that is anything you like to do we can do it too."

"It's okay. I don't mind. Besides we pretty much did what I like yesterday. On top of that I got tickets to Venice." Before I could wonder if he would take me with him, Feliciano answers my unspoken question. "and you're coming with me."

(...)

After getting we got cleaned up and eating breakfast, we went back out into the town. Since I think that Ludwig had enough interaction with large groups of people and crowed areas, we tried to stick to areas with less people. It worked for the most of the day, except when we got pulled into a tour of Hohenschwangau Castle, which is the castle that Ludwig had often seen form his home.

After the tour, we decided to have an early dinner and then go back to the hotel, so we could rest up for our trip tomorrow.

"I have to say Hohenschwangau Castle was pretty but not as beautiful as your home." I saying hopes to strike up a conversation. Ludwig had been silent since we had been shown our table and handed a menu.

"Yeah, in a way it is sad that only you and me have seen the inside." Ludwig responds as he looks up at me from his menu. "Do you think it might be open to the public now that I am gone?"

"Who knows?" I say with a shrug of my shoulders.

"Well, I hope so. It would be a shame to waste all that beauty."

Hearing this makes me wonder what beautiful creations Ludwig, as Germany, might have made if his country had not been war torn in the past. Maybe there is a hidden talent that I need to help come out.

"I wonder what your home is like compared to mine." I hear Ludwig say which pulls me form my thoughts.

"Well, the city that my home resides in is remarkable different form Füssen. For starters it doesn't have roads like Füssen, but has canals."

"Canals? So you are saying that residents in Venice travel by waterway?"

"Well not all of Venice is traveled by canals. In the 19th century, a causeway to the mainland brought the Venezia Santa Luncia railway station to Venice, which is what we will be using in our trip. There is also the Ponte della Liberta road causeway and parking facilities that were built during the 20th century. But beyond the road and the rail land entrances at the north edge of the city, transportation within Venice remains entirely on water or foot.

"Wow, that is a lot of information. I am surprised that you remembered all that, Feliciano."

Hearing this made me grin behind my menu. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was because of his past life that I knew what was going on in my home city. Plus it might be hard to explain how I was there at the start of both projects. Luckily for me, the waiter showed up and the subject was forgotten and changed as we ate our meals.

After our meal, we headed back to the hotel. From the way Ludwig was acting, I could tell that he was eager to begin our trip tomorrow. I knew this was because he would be seeing another part of the world.

(XxXx)

In the same moon lit room, the tall figure, who has his head hanging down, had remained sitting in the same chair, as when the first creature that now sat in front of him to the right, had come to him with some interesting news. What ever thought was running through the figures head was interrupted when another grey creature enter the room and took a seat on the floor, to the left, next to the other one.

The tall figure slowly raised its head to look at the newly arrived creature. The creature was covered in green oozing holes and scratch marks like something tried to claw and peck it to death.

Moving one of its thin branch-like arm, the tall figure made a motion for the cut up creature to speak. "MaStEr, It Is TrUe. ThEy ArE bAcK."

This seemed not to draw any change in expression on the tall figure. "Iz th at soh, ... th en yoo too fahynd hwich wuhn iz th ee Boo kkee-per. Ahy wil pri-pair ev-ree-thing els." (It that so, ... then you two find out which one is the Bookkeeper. I will prepare everything else.)

Author's Note: the strange text at the end of this chapter is the speech pattern for the leader of the Steves. It is how you would pronounce the words, in English, when talking to someone. I though it would add effect to his speech by making it more creepy..
