Chapter 3: I promise (Giozei)
"You are to me..." He said softly.
For the first time in my life, I felt like I actually had some significance. And that my meaning in life was to look after and care for my child.....
My child that I had set to destroy the world.
He seemed to be under control now, but I panicked at the thought of what might happen if he lost it....
I had made sure to put several defense spells on him during the creation process, so he'd never be threatened or harassed, like I was.
If anyone insulted him in any way..... His first instinct would be to kill every breathing creature around him...And he probably could...
But, he seems so sweet and understanding....I thought.
No way he could ending up harming people like that....
Not that it would be his choice.....
I sighed. I guess I would have to keep him hidden from the world.
But that seems so cruel. He doesn't know much, and needs to see what's out there to understand....
But, he could get hurt... A lot of "them" hunt dragons....
I glanced at the large black wings sprouting out of his back and winced when I thought of what "they" might do to him...
I sat down on the ruddy mattress in the corner of the room and started crying.
I didn't know what to do.
If I keep him here, he may be miserable forever. If I let him out, he could be killed.
But, he's so sweet, not even "they" could hate him. Right?
I stopped. How is it that he's so sweet if I set him to be evil? My spells never fail....
Unless the evil in him hasn't been unleashed yet. That his good side was so independent it sealed the rest away....
And if it ever is unleashed......
No. No no no no no. There's absolutely NO way I'm letting him out. Ever.
He can't be exposed to the world.
If anything happens to him, he'll lose control....and.....
I started crying again. I have totally screwed up.
This is the biggest mistake of my life.
Kanjo-Rei sat down next to me and hugged me. I hugged him back.
Sad, that my biggest mistake in life is also my only friend....
I stopped crying when I heard someone knock at the door.
Huh?
Nobody ever visits me.
I wonder...?
I gently shoved Kanjo-Rei into a corner were he couldn't be seen, and opened the door a tiny bit, just enough to hear the person's voice.
"Uh, hello...?"
"Giozei, that you?"
I recognized the voice almost immediately.
And I REALLY didn't want to talk to him.
"Yeah, what?"
"I need you to come with me. NOW."
"I can't!!"
"No, I'm serious. This is important."
"Important like LAST time?!"
"Can't you get over it? It's about the--...."
He dropped his voice to a whisper.
I paused. I didn't know what to do.
Then I thought about what could happen to Kanjo-Rei.
"No, no. I can't. Get someone else to help you."
"No, I can't. It was his idea anyway. What do you got in there that's more important than this anyway?"
I looked at Kanjo-Rei who was staring at me with almost sadness in his eyes.
"......Nothing..."
"Then come with me!! Now!!"
"Can you give me a minute? Please?"
"Hurry."
I walked over to Kanjo-Rei.
"What's going on?" He asked.
I thought I would start crying again.
I slid a small ring on a golden chain and hung it around his neck.
"Wear this. As long as you have it on, you're weakness..;" I pointed to the crest on his forehead.
"Will be invisible to 'them'. And you'll never be able to forget me."
"Are you leaving me?"
"For a while..."
"How long?"
"I don't know...."
"You'll come back, right...?"
"I'll try...."
I turned around and started to leave, when I felt him tug at my robes.
I turned around again.
"Don't leave me....please..." He was crying.
"........."
I hugged him. Then I started crying too.
I didn't want to leave him. I really didn't.
"I'll come back...." I whispered.
"I promise."
He slowly loosened his grip and I stood up.
"I promise."
I walked out the door to follow my unexpected visitor, and could hear Kanjo-Rei crying even when I left.
I looked back at my small house too many times to count, my face frozen with tears.
I had never taken a liking to someone so much after I first met them. I guess it's part of being a mother...
I'll come back for you, son. I promise.
(Author's note's: Yo. Sad chapter, huh? Can you guess who the guy at the door was? I'll give you a cookie if you can. Poor Kanjo-Rei....now he's all alone and lost, but what about that "guy" in his head? Uh-oh......Anywayz......I don't own the Legend of Zelda!! But I will!! Look out, Miyamoto, ol' boy!! Eheheh......Send me reviews!! Or tell me in person, if you know who I am.....muahahaha.....
