Bellon

I walked in the shadows, heading towards the Royal Casino or whatever it was called. I was determined to save my brother and nothing was going to get in my way. As I walked ahead, I noticed there was a trail. But it was covered in sparkles and glitter all over the ground. I noticed there was a sign that read triple Xs. I assumed this was a stripper's club and I thought of walking around it. But then, I heard a cold laugh coming from behind me. I then got a cold feeling in my back, so I turned around and saw wicked No Heart standing there with his hands together.

"So... you are Bellon. Eddie talks about you all the time. It's enough to make my ears bleed." said No Heart.

"Where's my brother!" I called out.

No Heart walked around me in circles and made gagging sounds with his throat. "You reek of garbage, sweat, and innocence." He sneered.

I ignored him and I went on my way. "You are wasting my time." I said aloud.

"Oh I'm wasting your time? How about I tell you the quickest way to save your brother is to go through this district here. The one with the dancing naked people on the poles." said No Heart.

"Eddie is there! in there!?" I cried out.

"Did you know about Eddie's exciting life at night?" asked No Heart.

I knew what Eddie did at night, but that guy didn't deserve an answer from me. Please. Instead, I looked at the long passageway and I realized the quickest way to save Eddie was indeed this district.

No Heart smiled, or at least I think he did, and he placed his cold hands on my shoulder.

"Then go ahead. Save your brother if you dare. You and you alone can save him. That is if you make it out of there alive." said No Heart as he vanished.

I looked at the district and I puffed out my chest.

"Eddie needs me." I said to myself. As I was about to go out, I felt someone patting my back, urging me to turn around. I did and I saw Cheer Bear standing there.

"Before you go inside, you must know something dear boy. What you are about to see will put you to the test. You are about to enter a dark adult world. And you must make choices." said Cheer Bear.

"Choices?" I asked.

"Will you choose seduction of pleasure and ecstacy, or the path of the hero to save your loved one?" asked Cheer Bear.

I quickly responded. "To save my brother. I love him." I said proudly.

"Then let me bless you before you go in." said Cheer Bear as she placed her hand on my heart.

"This shield will guard you. If you feel any form of temptation of any sort, close your eyes, place your hand on your heart and whisper the things that make you happy." said Cheer Bear.

"I will." I responded.

I turned around and entered the adult passage. I didnt even turn to look, but I was not an idiot to know where I was. It was a district full of people dancing on poles. Some were men wearing make up and dresses with women also posing as if to take photos. And they were singing a song. A very harmonious song that spoke of love and perhaps maybe even more. It went something like this...

(Troye Sivan, Bloom)

Take a trip into my garden, I got so much to show ya, the fountains in the waters are begging just to know ya cause it's true, baby, I've been saving this for you baby. I guess it's something like a fun fair, put gas into the motor and boy I'll meet you right here, we'll ride the roller coaster cause it's true, baby, I've been saving this for you. Baby.

I bloom, I bloom just for you, I bloom. Just for you. I bloom, I bloom, just for you, I bloom. Just for you. C'mon baby, play me like a love song, everytime it goes on. I get the sweet desire. I bloom, I bloom just for you, I bloom, just for you.

While I was there in that colorful world, I kept walking, ignoring the moans and sounds of people and the loud music of the pole dancers. I blocked everything from my mind and I did was Cheer Bear instructed me to do. I closed my eyes and thought of the things that made me happy. Ice Cream, Eddie, my friends, and stuffed toys. And even Care Bears. That made me smile. I opened my eyes, and I walked on ahead, looking forward and ignoring the adult world.

And then, as if by some miracle, I made it. I found the buildin'g entrance. I remember letting out a loud sigh. I finally made it at last. Eddie, I was close to saving you.
