I looked at my wound and thought why is this ritual always needed? Of course it is the Law of the Gods and I can not do anything about it. I bowed to the pedestal bidding my farewell
and moved into the fields where the bread grows. I picked breads from the trees and went into the other field where the vegetables grow .I picked from the poles, and moved on to the
herbs. Knowing the Mrs.Cronos likes to cook with herbs more I picked more herbs then any usual person would. I went back the pedestal and kneeled this time instead of bowing,
stating that I have done my pickings and that I am leaving. I moved out towards the front gate saying not a word out the guard since it was not allowed that a civilian talks to a higher man
out other than out of respect. I went rushing the house because I saw that the sun had more of a dull shine stating that it is around 3:00 pm. I arrived at the house and I quickly put the
food in the kitchen and ran outside towards the academy, hoping to make it in time to see Micues come out.
I arrived at the academy front gate and awaited Micues, to my surprise Micues did not come out at 4:00 pm. Instead he came out at 5:00pm, it seems that Micues set the boys lab on
fire by mistake. I laughed at what he did because Micues was not one to do such things. He said to me that it was completely not his fault.
I told him "Micues, I believe that it isn't your fault."
He said to me "Lenne, you don't believe me do you?"
"My…Micues of course I believe you I am sure that you wouldn't do such a thing, it isn't your type."
"Ok Lenne, so what did you do today?"
"Oh Micues, I went to the Garden of Kambos…"
"Lenne, you don't like going there why would you go alone?"
"Micues I decided that it was time for me to do something of value to your family."
"Well, you could've gone with me when I came out"
"Micues I didn't want to wait, I was actually hungry and I saw that your family hasn't gone to the Garden lately so I decided to go as a favor. It ends up being that I didn't get any food to eat because I ran out of time"
"Hah, so your main purpose to go to the Garden was to make and get some food to eat but at the end it turns out to be that you couldn't eat anything. That's what you get Lenne for not waiting for me."
"Micues! Don't say that I just wanted to do something. Oh but I suppose you are right because that ritual…it is so disturbing to do so vulgar. Don't you think?"
"Heh, well it's the Laws of the Gods, we can't do anything about it….remember the last time someone didn't do that ritual to Kambos. The town flooded killing thousands of children in the school that person went to."
Micues then suggested that we go to the lake, he was acting weird though. As we walked he started such an awkward conversation.
"Lenne, do you remember when we were children we promised to stay together forever."
I looked at him and knew where this was going to, I could see it his eyes.
I replied "Yes, why?"
"Well Lenne, I am turning 20 next year. Next year you are turning 19 correct?"
"Yes Micues but I don't see where this is going to" I lied to myself.
"Lenne, I am sorry but… I can't keep the promise."
My eyes widened and I could see that I really didn't know where this was going to.
"What do you mean? Micues we were children and of course that promise cant be kept"
"Lenne, I love you and all, I also truly wish to someday marry you but…my mother, she is sending me to another country"
"What…why, why are you leaving?"
"She believes that I should go to another academy, one that teaches at a more "advanced" level about the humans and their technology"
"But that makes no sense; you don't want to learn about those humans right?"
"Of course I don't but my mother insist that I go"
"Well then what country is it that you're going to?"
"It is the country called Gomzai, it is about to borders from this town"
"But Micues that is too far! And anyway can't you do anything to change her mind?"
At that moment we have reached the lake, it was glistening with the shine of the sunset. Micues said to me:
"Lenne, whatever happens I will be with you, somehow I will find a way to get you to be as close as possible with me. I won't leave you here if I do go alright?"
He looked at me, and then I noticed that Micues actually meant what he was saying. I noticed Micues actually was going to keep me with him, what made him like this I don't know, but it made me feel wonderful.
"Lenne, I know that we aren't in any sort of relationship, but I want to change that now"
"Micues… I don't know what to say…what should I say?"
"Lenne you don't have to say anything, but from now on I just want us to be together alright?"
"Micues…of course, I want that too."
At this we both left the lake, it was turning into night. We both rushed towards the house. It was an awkward silence between us both, we held hands and ran. We ran for some reason,
although I do not remember why we did. We approached the house, it looked odd. The lights were off and there was silence in the neighborhood. Micues looked at me with a worried
face. He let go of my hand and ran into the house, I could se he was panicking. I rushed and went into the house seeing the horror that was done in it. The house was a mess, and there
in the living room was a sign in blood saying "Lucky you, you are the first. It won't end." I looked at Micues and he ran up the stairs to his parents' bedroom. There were both of his
parents, with stabbings all over them. Their expression was with horror on their faces; it seemed as if they were screaming, you would be able to see the creases in the area of their
mouths. Their arms were reaching out to each other as if they were trying to hold on. Then I looked over to Micues, the first time I saw him standing bold with tears rolling down his
cheeks. I went over to him but he just shoved me away. I let him be and I went into his room, as I laid there, I thought what I should do to help Micues.
