Chapter Three: I hear the Calling
Jr. slowly looked around at his lush and lavishly furnished room. His blue eyes were distant as he looked around, and his fingers were lazily drumming out a beat on his leg. He was going on his twentieth birthday, and he really didn't know what to do with his life. He'd found a portal, about a week ago, and it was like it was calling him.
"I've talked to everyone about this. They don't believe me, and even Mireill used to be a little skeptic. But this is really important to me.... He's alive, I know he is." Jr. whispered to thin air, as he tried to get his thoughts in order.
He slowly nodded his head, and his belief that Albedo was still alive plagued him. Four years ago Jr.'s combined power along with Gaigun's had destroyed the mad man, but Jr. had been having really odd dreams since he had stumbled across a portal on the old Miltia's sector.
"Could he really be alive? But where is he? I can't risk everyone's health in going back there, Shion almost died. And then there's Mireill, she'd be furious if I went there all alone and didn't tell anyone. And Ziggy would come kill me even from the beyond if I broke her heart..... What can I do?!" He yelled, his emotions of frustration finally overcoming his senses.
"Why don't you try talking it out?" Said the voice of chaos as he knocked on Jr.'s door.
For a moment, Jr. sat stunned. "You could hear me?" He yelled, as he went and opened up his door.
chaos only shrugged, and walked in, passed by Jr. and sat down on his couch.
"Yes, I could hear you. Your voice was loud, y'know." chaos said quietly as he watched Jr. shut his door and flop down in a chair.
"How much?" Jr. asked, glaring at his friend
chaos shrugged, "Only the last bits. Who's heart would you break, MOMO's?"
"Yep, and I don't want to."
"Then don't."
Jr. sighed, "It isn't that easy chaos."
"Whatever is.... You aren't cheating on her, are you?"
"NO! That isn't what I was talking about at all. I was, well..." He scratched his neck as a nervous gesture.
"MOMO loves you Jr." chaos said, telling Jr. the truth.
Jr. smiled happily for a second, then sobered up. "Yeah, I just don't want to hurt her." He then closed his eyes, and though for a second. He then opened then and chaos could see a determination there that he hadn't seen for a while.
"chaos, can you hear it? The song of Nephilim?" He asked.
chaos let out a startled gasp, and said, "The song of Nephilim? Of course I can't!"
"But I can... I've heard it for the last three and half weeks, and I'm afraid if this keeps up I'll hurt all of you." He whispered, "So that's why, I'm going to leave, and I won't be coming back."
