"Felix, get up!"
Felix jolted awake at the sound of his father's screaming voice. The world was swirling around him as he felt his father pick him up and dash somewhere.
"What's goin' on...?" Felix slurred.
"The house is burning down!" His father yelled.
"Wait, WHAT?!" Felix then woke fully, writhing in his father's grip.
With panicked eyes, he looked around.
And indeed, there was fire consuming the house.
Fire...
Felix reached out to the blinding orange flames, watching them twirl endlessly...around and around...
Fire...
"Felix?"
Felix blinked, staring into his mother's concerned eyes, before turning to the flaming building.
"How..?"
His father shook his head. "We don't know, it just...caught on fire randomly."
Felix curled up, his head on his knees, and watched as his home turned into ashes.
The deity felt it...the sadness.
It was like a void. Darkness among the light. Fear among the secure. Tears among the happiness.
The pain.
He snuck through the darkness and watched.
He watched as the boys house burned to the ground.
"Poor guy," he breathed.
Felix felt empty as he came to school the next day. And the day after that.
His family had been so busy after the house burned down. Getting a new house, insurance, and so on. He had no time to do anything fun.
He hadn't even visited Chaos.
Felix gazed out of the window with blank blue eyes.
Then:
"Yo."
Chaos swung down from the roof and waved to Felix.
"GAH!" Felix jumped and almost fell off of his chair.
The whole classroom looked at Felix, who stammered: "Nothing, I just saw a spider."
And the rest of the class went on as normal, with the exception of Chaos hanging down from the window.
When the school day ended, Felix raced over to Chaos. "Chaos, what were you doing?!"
Chaos shrugged. "I was worried. You hadn't stopped by and I heard that your house burned down."
Felix sighed, shoulders slumping.
He hugged Chaos. Chaos hugged him back.
So, his house burned down. It's not a lot, like I promised on Tumblr, but it's more than the past few chapters, at least.
