Hi Guys! A fast update for you! I hope you like it! I own nothing
It was warm. He liked the feeling. As if he were complete for the first time in his whole life. So whole and warm. So peaceful and complete. This rather, always the same. So alive. His brain understood that his pillow, oh how warm and complete it made him, had to be a living being. Maybe an animal? No, he knew that it is a person. His person. His brother. His big brother. Who lie next to him. Who gave him warmth and peace and made him so complete. But wouldn't his brother kill him when he would wake up? It didn't matter. He felt safe and so complete. He wouldn't let that go away even when it meant his death. So he didn't move. Just feeling and loving the moment.
Mama. The warmth of his mother. Of his dear one. She has him in her arms and he has her. Nothing could bring them apart. He knew that he was sleeping. Knew that something was wrong. She was dead. So long ago she died. So often he woke up, crying, searching for her and knowing that she was dead. Gone. Burned away, out of his reach, through those humans. And then he was angry.
Angry at the world and at the humans who killed his mother because of her ability to see more than the others. But somehow, now, he wasn't angry, he wasn't sad. He didn't dream about her death but about her love to him. Her hugging him. Her smile. He felt complete and at peace. He felt home. Would this feeling go away when he opened his eyes? He didn't dear it. She couldn't go away. He needed her love. He would let his eyes closed. Hoping the feeling would stay.
He felt it before it came. His stomach growled. Yoh turned red. Hopefully it didn't wake Hao up! Slowly he opened his eyes, looking with hopeful eyes for closed ones. Black met him. No eyes, closed or not. Everything was black. Was it so early in the morning? It didn't feel like it. In one painful memory he remembered his last day. His blindness.
"Yoh." Hao's voice was quiet. It sounded like he was somehow disbelieving. "Why are your lying next to me, again?" Did Hao forget? Was he still drowsy? Somehow that thought was sweet! "You stayed with me yesterday, after I asked you to." For a second there was silence. "Yes. I was too tired to walk to my bed." Yoh had to hide his smile which tried to become very big in his face! Hao was too sweet and childlike when he tried to not show his feelings. "Come on. We have to make us ready. I have to look for my followers. We have to travel as fast as possible or else..."
Yoh understood without Hao's words. They could be attacked again. Hao stood up and walked away. Yoh could hear him move. "Your blindness is still there, right?" Yoh nicked. He didn't know where he was or where his clothes were. What did he wear? Where was his bed? So many question and only the ones who could see could answer this. "I will go out and look how the others are doing. You will stay here! You would only stay in our path." And so Hao went out, letting him alone. Oh, you could hear Hao's true feelings through this hurtful words. Stay in bed and heal. That's what he really meant to say. His brother was so often so complicated. Most things he said where meant different. Always hiding his true feelings. Never showing his emotions or someone could hurt him.
He closed his eyes, trying to enjoy this moment. Somehow he couldn't sleep. He heard and felt so much, now that he let his brain drift away. He could hear the birds singing, the wind over the tent and quiet voices from outside. He smelled the earth and Hao's scent. It wasn't bad. It felt save. The earth!What does the earth feel like? Did they have a blanked on the ground or is it the blank earth on which he lied. It somehow felt like there was earth, poor and dry earth. Yoh reached with his hand out and tried to touch the ground. There it was and it really was the blank earth! It felt really good in his hand. But he felt more. More than just earth. It felt like a power, low furioku.
Would Mother Earth answer when he reached out with his furioku? He would try it out. Out of a habit he closed his eyes, reaching out with his furioku into the earth. He felt every little stone, every molecule. He felt good, at live. But he could see her. He couldn't feel her. 'Mother Earth?' He hoped his thoughts could reach her. Or was it just a dream, an imagination. Sadness washed over him. Was it all just his imagination? Love reached him before the voice of Mother Earth. 'Yoh, my child. What is it?' Yoh was happy, just happy to hear her again. 'I just wanted to hear you, to see if it really was real.' Before his eyes a forest with a wooden table and two chairs were created.
'I can see!' How was it possible! Was his blindness gone? 'No Yoh. I'm sorry but this is just an image I put into your head so we could talk better.' Said the woman in one of the chairs. Yoh walked to the chair in front of her. 'I'm sorry Yoh, that something like that happened to you. But you already know that it is permanent, right?' Yoh could only nick. The thought was scary but true. He somehow knew that he will never see again. 'However, you have still the power of the Earth. You are a child of me. With that you can see more than your eyes could ever had. Just try to follow the pattern of the earth. Just follow its path. It will show you what you need to see.' Yoh was a little unsure. 'How should I do that? What am I supposed to do?'
'You know how. Just follow your feelings. But Yoh, you aren't supposed to do anything. There is no path written for you but the path you chose to take! Always remember that. And now, little one, go and try your abilities out. I will always be by your side. I will always help you when you need it. Just listen to your heart!' Slowly the picture in front of Yoh went black. He felt his bed underneath him.
He was back. Somehow he felt happy, knowing that there was somebody who would always be at his side, whatever path he would choose. What a good feeling when someone told him that it was his path and he could choose. So different from his past experiences. So often someone had a path chosen for him. What a wonderful free and scary feeling that was. For the first time he was free to choose. For the first time there was no path written for him. His own choices, his own path. That was scary. He heard voices outside. Maybe it was time to walk out of the darkness. Maybe he should try his new powers out. She said he could see more than ever and he had an idea how to do that. It was time to join the others and help. I am no burden. 'I am free to do whatever I want!'
And... did you like it, didn't you? I hope there is more action in the next chapter, but I can never tell... 'Till next chapter!
