Chapter 6
He appeared in the church near the bar-zum-ei.
The place was empty he sat on one of the long benches at the front and stared up at all the glass stained windows. It was peaceful here, here he could do some thinking.
Homunculus: (thoughts) I give him a wish as Wagner and I still don't have his soul… he doesn't understand that I need his soul so I can keep my existence so if he dies this time I'll be free… he thinks I can just make him better like that (clicks his fingers) if I grant him another wish I may die… should I? Wait what am I thinking? Why do I care? Eike is just one of them silly humans I toy with I don't care if he dies… wait do I?…. I don't know why but I do... Eike said I was his friend. Oh damn it! why did you say that Eike? And why has it made me care for you?…. Wait if I die again he'll try bring me back and then I know I'll need to take his soul and I don't think I could do that now… what do I do?
Homunculus left the church and appeared back inside the apartment. The place was a mess.
Homunculus: really Eike, this place looks like a bomb has hit it.
Eike: oh you're back.
Homunculus sat on a chair and switched on the TV.
Eike: make yourself at home…. And what do you mean this place is a mess?
Homunculus grinned glancing at the items randomly scattered around the room in an untidy way.
Eike: hey your place is no better.!
Homunculus laughed.
Homunculus: you got me there Eike.
Eike: do you want anything?
Homunculus: no… oh wait… a nice cup of tea.
Eike: really? Thought you didn't drink.. I'll just get you one.
Eike came back with a cup of tea and a pot of sugar.
Eike: how many sugars do you have?
Homunculus: eight please Eike (grinning)
Eike: eight?!?
Eike, gullible, put eight sugars into his drink.
Eike: here you go.
Homunculus: no thanks… I don't drink tea.
Eike: but you just said-!….you did that on purpose didn't you?!
Homunculus laughed at Eike.
Eike: (laughed) what do I do with this then? (holding up the cup of tea)
Homunculus: why not put it on your mantel piece as a souvenir? (smirked)
Eike laughed and put the drink down.
Homunculus turned the TV off.
Eike: so when will you make me better?
Homunculus: (looked down) tomorrow night.
Eike: why then?
Homunculus: gives me a bit more time… need to rest.
Eike: you can do it cant you?
Homunculus: yes Eike I can.
Eike: wont it be counted as a wish?
Homunculus: I'm really not sure.
Eike: ok.. So anyway where did you go?
Homunculus: the church.
Eike: you can go in there?
Homunculus: well of course I can… what made you think I couldn't?
Eike: I suppose the whole pentagram thing.
Homunculus didn't answer.
Eike: so why are pentagrams such a threat to you?
Homunculus: why all these questions about me?
Eike: you're interesting and I just wanted to know but its ok if you don't wanna say.
Homunculus: a pentagram symbolizes good magic.
Eike: so you use… bad magic then?
Homunculus: duh! what do you think?
Eike didn't answer he just drank his coffee.
Soon it was night time and Eike had got tired and gone to bed, homunculus decided to spend his last night in Eike's apartment, he'd been sitting there all night gazing out of the window lost in his thoughts.
Homunculus: (thoughts) this time tomorrow I'll be gone… nothing will be left of me… I'll be trapped in the stone for eternity…. If anyone tries to recreate me I'll refuse to leave the stone.. I can't take Eike's soul…. Damn you Eike!
