I was thinking of making a new story(even though I suck at writing). I wanted it to be an adventure story containing Soren, but I don't want him to end his life alone. So I made a poll containing people who would atleast have an almost as long life time as him. Mind voting? Please?

"Hmmm I'll have to go away for a while."

Ike muttered to the young Soren.

The child turned his head to face the man.

"Why?"

"Because I have to leave."

The man got up from the porch, clutching his sword at his side, giving a rare smile to the five year old, leaving into the a carriage decorated in elegant jewels and rich fabrics, that Soren hadn't seen before. The puzzled child just watched unknowing of what to do next. So he continued to watch the carriage even when it faded from view.

Time had passed and the child had grown a year. Another carriage was visiting, its contents emptied in to the house.

But Soren stood next to the same house paying no heed to anything but the red ball, that rolled from his fingers, when a woman with red hair walked up to him, "I'm sorry, he's gone."

Even without mentioning his name, Soren knew who she was talking about, "What do you mean he's gone?"

"..."

"I don't understand. What do you mean? Ike isn't gone."

When the woman remained silent and just watched him, he grew angry running past her into the house. The boy ran past the halls into Ike's room, slamming the door behind. In the center of the bare room, velvet see through curtains surrounded the bed and a man's silhouette was seen.

...So, that's what it means to be gone.

Slowly Soren's eyes opened from the dream. Sitting up he looked around everyone were still asleep, in the crappy shack so far away from his homeland, quietly he put on his outer robe and a knife. Slipping out the door, the man walked up to the calm river, taking a seat to look at his reflection.

And then began to weep for his dear and departed friend like all those years ago.

Author's note:

Okay, so basically I got this idea from a dream I had. It was me in Soren's place and my mom is Ike's place. And like after that I did start crying, but unlike him I didn't get up I just stayed in bed and cried. And my mom's still alive. ...LOL I just learned my fear.
