Chapter 10: Thoughts and wishes
Midnight was slowing down, he knew it, and he couldn't keep repairing his internal shield at the speed that the thought of Trudy's love for him could pull it down
And now he was going to most probably put his life on the line and his reputation with the mall rats (shaky as it was) all for the sake of the fact Trudy felt sorry for every chosen that had been brainwashed and hurt by the guardian
Since she had walked back into his life as the girl he had known and not as the supreme mother it had become increasingly harder for Midnight to come up with excuses for the way he behaved around her.
As he walked he kept his head down, as the wind whipped round him he didn't want any of the Olympians to see he was crying.
Down in the chamber of the fates
Clotho hadn't even begun telling her sisters about how kind midnight had been to her when something caught her eye in a nearby looking glass, turning she and her sisters watched as Midnight cried, for no apparent reason that they could see, he was healthy, he was going into the arms of the woman who loved him when he completed celestas favour.
Neither clotho nor Atropos could figure out what was wrong, but Lachesis knew, deep down she could feel his pain, Humans thought that a mothers connection with her son ended with the child took its first breath but, like any mother, Lachesis had felt her son growing inside her, she had felt every wound, every tear and now she felt his pain in confusion.
As he sisters watched her Midnight in the looking glass Lachesis snook away to another part of the chamber, where she kept all her things that she held dear, including her picture of her departed love Balin and their children Karone and Andros who had forsaken his name and became Midnight soon after the virus had struck earth turning to her own looking glass she watched as it played out memories of their happy times together, times Midnight had chosen to forget along with his fathers face after Balin had died!
As she looked at their happy smiling faces a tear ran down her face, the another and another until she was crying, as the tears streamed her face she recalled that she had tried in vein to stop herself from falling in love with Balin, even after Andros (Midnight) was born she had left but soon been drawn back, she knew, in some way his death had been her fault, just as Andros (midnight) thought it was his even though he had only been three at the time
Midnight had been trailing along the path to the farm house for almost a day now, he had no idea what he was going to find, part of him wanted to find them well where as the warrior part of him wanted to find Kern dead so that he would not have to stray from the path any longer
