Chapter 2
Eike walked away from homunculus.
Homunculus got onto his feet and followed, he some how felt bad seeing Eike react hurt like that.
Homunculus: so….….what do you want from me Eike?
Eike: I dunno... I just hoped that…
Homunculus: hoped what?
Eike: it doesn't matter.
Homunculus walked to the window and tried opening it with his weak arms, he wasn't strong enough.
Eike: oh here let me help you.
Homunculus muttered some weird words and the window flew open.
Homunculus: thanks, but no thanks.
Eike smiled, entertained by homunculus's power. Homunculus showing off a little then hovered and sat in midair.
Eike: that's very impressive, so what else can you do?
Homunculus: well I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve.
Homunculus smirked
Homunculus: but of course, some more complicated than others.
Eike: can you show me?
Homunculus: it depends, if it's something you want, I'd really be granting you a wish.
Eike: so you are a genie then? Like the fortune-teller told me.
Homunculus: you spoke to her? … I tried to but it was as if she wasn't there, I could sense her but that's it.
Eike: you didn't answer my question.
Homunculus: hmmm a genie, well I don't come with a magic lamp Eike (smirks)… not a genie really, yes I grant wishes, but it's for a price, a genie is some kind of made-up fantasy humans created… that would grant wishes for nothing.
Eike: so, what are you?
Homunculus smirk was wiped off his face and although he didn't look it, he seemed sad.
Homunculus: really Eike, you did the research, you're the one with all the answers, so why don't you tell me?
Eike: all I know is that you're an artificial life created with the philosophers' stone.
Homunculus: um well done.
Homunculus landed back on his feet turned his back on Eike and stepped closer to the window.
Eike: you ok?
Homunculus didn't answer.
Eike: just curious… but what gives you your powers then?
Homunculus: oh why so interested? Why not just send me a questionnaire?
Homunculus sat on the windowsill.
Eike: be careful there, it's a little weak.
Homunculus grinned for a second as a thought crossed his mind, if he fell what would Eike do? Would he care?
Homunculus suddenly leaned out the window and fell back out of it.
Eike's head shot out but when he looked out homunculus had vanished. Eike immediately left the apartment and went down the flight of stairs and outside to where he thought homunculus should have fallen but there was nothing there, he was gone. Eike searched the ground for the philosophers' stone but that wasn't there either. Eike was panicking by now
Eike: damn it! Why didn't I stop him? I knew it was dangerous!
