Chapter 2 : Burden of words
Hi everyone ^^there it is my second chapter. Hope you like it
I'm sorry for the big hole of nothing being post I'm getting back and ready to do more for you
PS: Tales Of Symphonia belong to Namco, I just borrow it. Happy reading.
On the way to Dirk, I was thinking about the best way to go with my sister on her travel.
This wont be easy, she will certainly tell me to stay, that the travel would be too dangerous, but I already know...
It's been 6 years since I'm training for this moment because I don't want her to disappear ...
Flash back
- Neven? We need to talk to you, Phaidra told me, she was accompanied by Franck
- Yes ? I answered
- It's about Colette ...
- Did something happen to her? I exclaimed
- No, don't worry but you must be aware of the truth about your sister.
- Which truth ? She's the chosen one, right?
- No, it's much worse than that ...
They could read misunderstanding on my face.
- When she will break the final seal and went to the tower of salvation... (She took a breath) ... she will die and be reborn on a angel. Thus she will join the goddess Martel, and then ...
- No. I said firmly.
- Not what ? She said with surprise.
- I don't want her to die.
- Neven ... it's hard to understand but it's for the good of ...
- The good of what? Yours ? Mine ? Of the world? And her own good? You thought it? I don't care for the world if her life is the price for.
- We don't have the choice, it's the desti ...
- No, we all have the choice and I refuse to accept it.
Rage of anger and tears dropping from my eyes, I flee toward the forest.
- Wait ... I heard Franck called me but I didn't stop.
I plunged into the forest, it was dark, it was raining but I don't care, I just want to stay alone...
…
…...
…...
CRACK
- Go away !
- Neven ? It's me, Colette.
- Please, go away, I don't want to see anybody, I said between two tears.
- Neven...she started to get closer to me, then she entwinee me with her arms... we stay like this for a long moment before she said to me.
- Neven, we should returne
- … let me some more minute alone and then, I will come back…
End of the flash back
- At this moment, I didn't think about it, but it was her who was suffering all the consequences and it was me who was complaining ...
Than I am childish ...naive ... and hopeless ...
I arrived at Dirk's house without realizing it and I decided to go directly knock on his door.
Knock Knock.
- Who's there ? he said gravely.
- It's me, Neven, I replied.
- Come in and stop your manners.
I went in and sat down at the table, then I saw that he was forging two swords ...
- Do you need my help? I asked.
- It would not be refused, because my son decided to go on a walk, he said, laughing.
- he went escort Colette to the temple, It's the big day ... I said with a sullen look.
-It's Today ... Get me some wood please, I need it to continue.
- OK.
So I helped Dirk during the remnant of the day. I love Dirk because he knows me and he knew I don't like when people ask me questions about me or my mood, so he never asks me and always just listens to what I want to tell him.
Lloyd arrived. We have finished the swords earlier and he had hidden them, I saw that it was a surprise for Lloyd.
- Hi, he said.
-All went well ? Colette's right ? She's not hurt ? If so, I swear I will haunt you until the end of your days and I wont help you anymore to make her understand your feelings .
Lloyd blushed like a tomato and he answered.
- Yes, don't worry, she's fine, she is not hurt and then what are you talking about my feelings? Taking a falsely questioningly.
- There is nothing, with a malice smile.
- Neven, sorry, but I need to talk to Dad, can you go outside, please?
- Are not you ashamed to veer guest? Moreover, it helped me all day, Dirk exclaimed.
- Don't worry, I had to leave at one time or another anyway, goodbye and thank you.
- Thank you, said Dirk.
- Goodbye, Lloyd said.
I left the wood battisse and I began to take the way home when I noticed a shadow in the bushes. It moved away from the path to the depths of the forest, anyway, I decided to follow it because it could be a good dinner but I quickly lost track of.
... It's clever, I got lost. No problem, the evening sun always points towards Iselia.
Then I began to walk towards the village when a violent headache took me and I heard a voice from beyond the grave.
- What are you doing in this world ... your place is not here ... go away !
Then images appeared in my mind, I saw my sister and the group dead different ways, burned, drowned, mangled, tortured, pierced then nothing, I fainted.
I woke up in my bed and I saw Colette right next to me who was crying.
- Colette are you okay?
She jumped and said.
- You made me such a fright, not ever do that again.
- Yes, do not worry, I replied, trying to make her smile.
She ordered me to promise her not to disappear like that, what I did. She began to dry her tears and asked.
- Are you hurt?
- Just a headach, I replied.
When I had finish my sentence,I remenber all that I have heard and seen in the forest . I had to make a disturbing face because my sister asked me:
- Are you sure you okay?
- Yes, don't worry, it will be okay. And you're okay? Everything went well there in the temple?
- Yes, there was no problem, I even have a body guarde strong enough to help me in my journey, my sister exclaimed.
-How do you know he is strong if there were no problems? I asked mischievously.
I knew he was strong because I saw him fighting but my sister, she didn't know it.
She replied:
- I guess he's strong.
I know she's lying to me but I can't blame her, she tries to reassure me.
I decided not to look further.
- Tomorrow you're leaving? ...
- Yes, but do not worry I'll come to say goodbye to you before leaving.
- Promise me.
- ...
- So ?
- Promised.
- Thank you sister. Oh! And know one thing ...
- Yes ?
- You were the best of all possible sisters. I couldn't ask for more than you. You are and will remain irreplaceable so I wish you all the bravery in the world. I said with a false air of encouragement.
I know that after her leaving, I would follow her in her adventures. I will not let her alone but I have to pretend for the moment, it breaks my heart but I have to.
- And you, you're the best little brother that I could dream of.
She gave me a hug that lasted at least 5 minutes, like we were never going to have a hug anymore .
- Good night, little brother ...
- Good night, big sister ...
