Excuse me?! Your son is my host? I can't believe this.
"This may be a little hard to believe," he started, "but I know it's true, I can feel it!"
Feel what? Your brain leaking out to get away from the insanity it created?
"My son was looking at some of my research with me," I don't care, "and one of the topics was this tablet with seven items,"
You never entered the place. How would you know?!
"So, what happened was a man named Pegasus J. Crawford, came into my office and started talking about the millennium items and how he had one,"
The funny guy? The guy who got the millennium eye, was named 'Pegasus'...
"He even showed me, but that's beside the point, you probably saw the entire thing,"
You're right, I did. Get to the point.
"Anyway, he showed us pictures, and I've been trying to research them. With Pegasus's help, it was easier,"
What about the 'my son is your host' thing? Are you ever going to get to that?
"He told me and my team the location of three of the items, but said he didn't know where the rest were, I didn't have the time to organize a visit there for a while, so I just kept getting as much information from Pegasus as possible." He finally stopped to breathe.
So far, this has explained nothing. I don't care about your little project, I want to know about your kid!
"You probably want me to get to the point already," yes, "so I will. I got on a video call, do you know what a video call is?" Vaguely, "I got on a call with my son and showed him the pictures of the three items. When I showed him the picture of the ring, he pointed and said it looked similar to the necklace he had been seeing in his dreams! Can you believe it?"
No. Because I think your son was lying. He probably just thought it looked cool like every other kid, and because you're insane he said that to make you get it for him!
"Of course I'd get him the ring! Ryou never asks for anything, and, I had noticed that he'd been drawing a lot lately, all of them looked pretty similar to the ring…"
Alright…
"Ryou's a good kid, I had to do this for him." With that, he stopped talking and put the ring on a table.
Apparently, he was walking the entire time. We were in a new room. Small, kind of dark, paintings on the walls. It was better than the other room.
"Sorry, I rambled, I didn't even say that Ryou was my son's name…" he sounded winded.
So, your son's name is Ryou, and he is my host because of dreams? How come this is my first time hearing about this? Where were my mystical visions?
"I can't keep talking, I have to pack up all this stuff. We leave to go to my home tomorrow. I hope you're excited! You'll meet Ryou."
I'm not. This was all going too fast. I didn't know what to think. From the sound of it, Ryou was a younger kid.
A kid shouldn't have the burden of a millennium item. Especially the ring. It's dangerous. Possibly the most dangerous out of the seven. If it does turn out that Ryou was lying, he will die.
If he is destined to be the holder, it still won't work out well. The ring is like a parasite. It will drain him until there is nothing left.
I want to explain that. But, since I don't have a body, I cannot make a sound. The only thing I can do, is to hope Ryou never wears the ring. The best scenario is he forgets I and the ring exist.
But, if he is my holder, I will try to make his short life as painless as possible. Maybe he'll live longer than expected, and we can form a sort of bond. But that's wishful thinking, and my wishes never come true.
