Chapter Two: Surprise! A bit longer, but not by much. Enjoy!
I woke in bed, my thoughts barely remembering what happened yesterday.
/Odd, Chaud and Lan should have finished their mission/ I pondered.
"Martin," I roared aloud, "If you can hear me right now, I will not rest until you are good again or deleted!" Fury rose up in my eyes as tears of sadness flowed down my face. What a bloody fight that was, yes. I was lucky that someone had saved my life after I fell unconscious, Chaud. Chaud suddenly entered my room, seeing that I was sober.
"Yes, I know, it's hard eh?" I blinked in surprise as he said this. He continued on. "I felt the same way when Protoman was evil."
"This is different, Chaud. We had to nearly kill each other. You didn't have to for Prototman." Fury once again rose in my eyes.
"Yes, I can tell, Armel." He suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of my room. I was still dressed in my bloody clothes from last night. He led me to his mansion and into a place where I haven't been before.
"Here, this are will be safe for you," he said.
"What is this?" I asked in confusion.
"From now on, you live here."
"But I can't, Martin will come and wreck the place."
"As long as you're safe, Chief said that you have to live where I live."
"Why? Some darn safety rule because of the force that we have on idea of what it?
"You took the words out of my mouth."
"Oh."
"You can go and gather you stuff, I'll wait," he said in his "cool" tone. I left without a word. I walked along the sidewalk back to my home. When I go home, I showered, changed, and then packed. Taking my sword carefully in my hand, I had once before vowed never to leave this sword. I stuck it in my belt scabbard. As I walked back to Chaud's Home, I met Lan.
"Hi, Armel, feeling better today?" he asked, nodding at my left shoulder.
"Yes, I'm feeling fine. I'll see you later," and pushed on to where Chaud was waiting. I unpacked my processions in my new room After I accomplished my task; I headed back to the main hall. I had left my PET in my new room, I didn't need it anymore.
I still held my scabbard and sword, my two most prized processions. I took a stroll, humming to myself a tune I had heard once before.
"You will find me at Noonvale,
On the side of a hill,
When the summer is peaceful and high.
Where streamlets meander the valley is still.
'Neath the blue of a calm cloudless sky.
Look for me at dawn,
When the earth is asleep.
'Till each dewdrop is kissed by the day.
'Neath the rowan and alder,
A vigil I'll keep.
Every moment that you are away,
The earth gently turns as the seasons change slowly.
All the flowers and leaves born to wane.
Hear my song over the lea, like the wind soft and lowly,
And come back to Noonvale again."
When I ended my song, I was at the park, where the bloody fight was held. It was evening, so no one was out. Tears sprung to my eyes as I though of the fun we had before. But that changed. I was soon back at Chaud's mansion. I plopped onto my bed, thinking of why Martin wanted to become evil. Tears flowed down my cheeks, and soon I fell asleep.
