Hiii 👁️👄👁️💜 Maybe: 🎄 spirits follow everywhere i go - or alternatively:🎄 oh, you fool, there are rules
Hello! Bet you forgot you sent me this, uh? 💜
WELL, it's here! After much consideration because I love the album that contains both these songs, I thought that the Yawning Grave just yelled Morrigan. A minor possible spoiler for the Arbor Wilds/What Pride Has Wrought but well. I'm not explaining whys and hows anyway.
Tis the prompt list
Oh you fool, there are rules.
[ Morrigan x Female Mahariel | 3.692 words | No trigger warnings - Hurt/comfort ]
I tried to warn you when you were a child I told you not to get lost in the wild I sent you omens and all kinds of signs I taught you melodies, poems, and rhymes Oh, you fool, there are rules, I am coming for you (You can run, but you can't escape) Darkness brings evil things, oh, the reckoning begins (You will open the yawning grave)
Morrigan didn’t stall long in Skyhold, after Corypheus was defeated.
She had done what she must. That was it. She never meant to stay much longer.
She was grateful for Aisling, for her concerned expression as she told her that she would have tried to help her if she only had let her. Tried to fix whatever was done to her at the Well. Morrigan knew guilt when she saw it. It resonated deeply in her heart, and she was at the same time grateful and repulsed. It only made her want to run.
Run from that castle, run from another series of mistakes, run from companionship and friendship she still doubted she deserved.
Old books and ruins were much safer companions. They never talked back.
She wanted to believe the Inquisitor, be sure that everything could be fixed, that if they put their mind to it, they could have found a solution. Freed her from the cage of a past that wasn’t her own alone anymore, once again. She really did.
She wasn’t fool enough to actually do it.
Aisling knew not the extent of the magic that had been bestowed upon her. The extent of the control it could exert, how much she felt it deep in her bones, like the loose strings of a puppet. She knew, painstakingly well, for all the voices of the Well whispered it into her ears, that as talented as Lavellan was, as undoubtedly bright and creative with magic, she wasn’t powerful enough to break that spell.
None of her people was. No one else was, anymore. Save for… but he had vanished after the battle.
She thanked Aisling, told her words of comfort she didn’t feel, and of trust that in spite of herself she couldn’t convince herself not to mean. She at least owed her a nice goodbye. Kieran hugged her tight, and the elf stalled, caressing his hair and recommending him to listen to his mother. She whispered something in his ear, which made the boy giggle. Morrigan smiled: it happened much more rarely these days.
And before the first light of days could tinge the sky in pinks and lilacs, she took her son’s hand and left the fortress.
“You don’t have to do that.”
Leliana had waited for her, just outside the first outpost, before the descent to the valley.
She knew she didn’t have to go. She knew it well that right now, Skyhold was probably one of the safest places in Thedas. A place run by a person who knew her, knew partially the extent of what she did, could help her should something awry happen, should the Well decide to take full control of her. A person that loved Kieran and, she knew, would have gone out of her way to keep him safe and bring his mother back.
But she missed her.
She missed her and that choice of old, the separation, seemed now the biggest in a long list of mistakes she made. She had gained the knowledge she craved, and for what?
“I miss her.” She just told Leliana, too tired, to battered up to bite back something.
Leliana nodded, smiled in a knowing way that brought back memories, made her look like the young person she once was, and stirred some irritation.
“It was plenty of time you did.”
“Don’t tell the idiot.”
“Oh, I’m saving this bit of information for a special occasion, worry not.”
“If you hear from her…”
“You’ll hear first.” Leliana smiled. “You always hear first from her. You know it, yes?”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” She sneered, the pang to her heart finally enough in bringing some old bite back. “I wouldn’t dare implying I know more than the next Divine.”
“It’s been nice to meet you again, Morrigan.” She looked down, and smiled at Kieran. “To meet you both. Come say hi if you are in Val Royeaux.”
She travelled south for a couple of days, just to mislead any possible person who followed her.
And then, she headed straight to Amaranthine.
---
Nathaniel welcomed her warmly and ruffled Kieran’s hair, complimenting on how much he had grown.
Morrigan saw him frowning as the boy answered with a smile that was there for politeness, but didn’t offer any explanation to the fact. She couldn’t, not now. Not with him first.
“Is she here?”
“No.” He sighed. “Still Maker knows where. The last letter came from the Anderfels, but it was five months ago.” A pause, he looked into her eyes. “I’m sorry.”
Of course.
It was no surprise, after all: when she came to bid her goodbye in Orlais, Alyra had said she would have been gone for a while, and that communications would have been difficult. She had built a net of spies, but it wasn’t so widespread as to reach desolate places. In the Anderfels, Morrigan knew she had a handful of people in Weisshaupt, but nothing more. And, she couldn’t risk getting found or tracked.
Hoping she would have been there, waiting to magically fix her mess, had been childish and stupid. She wasn’t living in a fairy tale, she was no Vassilissa, as much as she had liked to pretend she was, as a child. As much as Alyra had made her feel like that. Such mishaps had already happened: the first time she reached her in Vigil’s Keep, Alyra had been in Denerim, impossibilitated to move before a week. They had managed three days together. Nothing more, and it wasn’t the only time they had missed each other. It was foolish to hope things could go differently.
“Very well. Can we stay the night, before leaving again?”
Kieran looked at her, snapping his head quickly with a face of disappointment. Morrigan knew perfectly well what he was about to say, and shook her head at him.
The room was found, and there were not many things left to do save opening the window, get a fire going, and bring their bags there, their cloaks to be washed. The same room she had occupied every time she had visited, finding it in the same level of readiness to be occupied.
She observed a dapple of sun shining over the white of the fresh linens. The air smelled like clean, as clean a that place -the whole castle actually- was. Kieran shook Nathaniel’s hand, very politely, and Morrigan wished him a nice afternoon and thanked him for his hospitality. He scoffed the formalities, but hesitated on the door before leaving. He turned towards her.
“She left orders, you know.” He told her, with a smile. “You both can stay for as long as you wish. Not a word of your presence will leave the walls, she described in no lack of details what will happen to snitches to all the recruits and the staff.”
“It sounds like mamae.” Kieran convened.
“The recruits still have nightmares.”
Morrigan joined the other two laughing at that, in spite of the glomp in her throat that rose knowing that Alyra had, in fact, thought of her. Of them both. She clutched one hand in the other and told Nathaniel that she would have thought about it, when Kieran asked her if they could stay.
“Just until mamae is back. Please, mother.”
The room was warm and comfortable, and no servant batted an eye when she asked for dinner to be brought in her room, leaving Kieran to go dine with the others in the great hall. She just walked him there, watched him taking place on a bench close to Nathaniel and in front of Velanna, answering politely to the question the others asked him. Smiling.
Some normality, at long last, or whatever normality she could ever hope to offer him.
The image only made the glomp in her throat grow.
And the glomp grew further when, back in her room, the servant returned with her favourite dish.
“Lady Warden-Commander left a list of what you and your son like to eat, my lady. Just in case.” The old woman smiled, sympathetically. “If you have other preferences, please let me know.”
Morrigan closed the door behind the maid, thanking her, and with all the dignity she had left, walked to the bed and sat down, elegant as a queen.
And then she let go, falling heavily back on the bed. It was fresh and plush: a room well taken care of, as if she was expected. Alyra left orders. Alyra said to the cook what to prepare her.
She wished she never went through that eluvian, all those years ago.
What god to pray for Mahariel to come back to her safe and sound and please, come back soon, she didn’t know anymore, but she was tired. Bone-deep tired.
Maybe she could rest. For some days, at least.
Kieran would benefit from a familiar place to cope with the lack of part of his soul. Faces he knew and who loved him to help him through the change.
Yes, she decided. They both would use some rest.
For some days, at least.
If that was yet another mistake, at least Kieran would have been happy about this one.
She ignored the voices telling her to go.
---
The days became weeks. And months.
Morrigan thought they were past hospitality, but looking better she realized both her and Kieran were a part of the Keep. Expected and wanted. Kieran had his spot in the Library, and everyone in the Keep, Wardens and not, automatically started to teach him whatever knowledge they possessed as if the child was a part of their environment too.
It wasn’t Skyhold, with the Inquisitor and Lord Pavus struggling to cut a free hour for lessons in busy schedules. No, here he was welcomed and expected during activities, at very regular timings Morrigan knew were something Alyra had started in the Keep. Everything happened at a precise time, as she would have wanted.
Her absence was a presence in itself, and it was soothing. It relaxed her, and the boy as well.
Kieran still cried because at night he felt the air too silent, and often crawled in her bed, to be soothed with a hug. He was growing old for that, Morrigan knew, and yet she had not in her to shun him away, nor to scold him because it was unbecoming for a young man his age to seek his mother when he had a nightmare.
No, she hugged him tight and caressed his hair until he felt asleep against her shoulder, like she did when he was but a baby. Everything felt more bearable, more worth it, when she held him like so, alive and breathing and free.
She missed him tenderly when he was a baby, those days. She soothed him and soothed herself as well.
She missed tenderly the exact look Alyra made when she first saw him: she had melted down, the usual air of harshness crumbling in something tender and marvelled. She never looked smitten, not with her and not with Alistair. She had looked so with Kieran. She had smiled, and poked the baby’s nose with such delicate tenderness that Morrigan had burst in tears.
“If you haven’t heard from her… But I’ve written her, too. Told her you’re here.” Nathaniel said, one day when she asked again whether he had news or not. “You know her safe spots, she’s gonna return as soon as she’ll read the letters.”
“Is she?”
He sighed, deeply, stopping to look at the Wardens training in the courtyard, at Velanna crouching in front of Kieran to correct his grip on the staff. Everything went on like normal, like one would expect. A clockwork fortress that stood its ground, brought to discipline by a missing Commander and kept so by her lieutenant. Nathaniel looked that much older, and it wasn’t just the Blight paling his skin, starting to paint his black hair in grey at the temples. Command didn’t really suit him: he could do it, he had been grown for it. It was clear as day, knowing him, that he didn’t like it.
“I hope she is.” He answered, tone lowering. “What are we going to do if she isn’t?”
Morrigan considered. She didn’t want to, but it’s been seven months since the last time anyone had any news from Mahariel. The whispers in her ears told her nothing useful: tales and whispers of Deep Roads, and creatures slain, something stirring, deep down. The possibility that it was too much, even for Alyra, was concrete. More than concrete.
But she knew perfectly well what she would have answered.
“We stop being stupid about it and go on.”
He laughed, bitterly, and couldn’t but agree with her.
They went on, but Morrigan still didn’t feel like leaving, even if everything told her she should not stay any longer, she was being stupid about it, waiting for a person that would have never come back.
She once thought that her plans wouldn’t have allowed her to stay more than a handful of months in one place, but as per now, she wasn’t sure what were her plans anymore.
So, she just listened to the voices from the Well, concentrated on them and tried to interpret them.
Maybe it was wishful thinking, but all she could devise was one word.
Stay.
It seemed a fitting excuse to be stupid about it and listen.
---
Something was  on the bed, crawled into her arms.
She sighed and shifted, still more than a half asleep, she shifted her arms on the figure, rested her chin more comfortably on the head, thinking it was Kieran.
“Another nightmare?”
“He had one, but he’s asleep, right now.”
It was enough to make Morrigan jolt awake, every trace of sleep instantly gone. She snapped her fingers and a ball of fire started in the air, balanced on the palm of her hand to illuminate the rest of her bed.
Red hair, glinting orange and golden in the firelight, carefully braided in an intricate motive to stay out of her face. A practical style, a travelling one. Dark tattoos marking her brow, making her features less minute and delicate than they were. Beside her eyes, usually, but tonight those eyes were mellower than their usual.
“You’re-” There were at least ten thoughts in her head, but the whispers were loud and insisting, hissing about alarms and danger and wrongness, and she grew distracted. “Am I still dreaming?”
It was all that she managed to spit.
Alyra Mahariel, the Warden-Commander, the Hero of Ferelden, survivor of yet another mission everyone with some brain would have deemed impossible, frowned at her. She rose on one elbow, the shoulder of her nightsuit daintly slipping off a shoulder. Muscly, but less than Morrigan remembered. She looked thinner, more ghastly, the bags under her eyes were darker and her cheeks looked hollow, and the Witch knew it wasn’t just the light. If all, the light masked how more grey-ish her skin had gotten.
“it depends.” Alyra extended a hand, hesitating just a moment, just to see a nod from the other, before cupping Morrigan’s cheek. “Is it a good dream?”
A thumb caressed Morrigan’s cheekbone with tenderness, the pressure barely perceptible. The elf slid forward, very slowly and carefully as if she was afraid of startling a wild animal. Her face grew closer, her lips parted, but still she stopped at but a breath space from a kiss. She brushed her lips with her own, and waited for the other to consent. As she had done from the start, inviting but never pressing.
It made the glomp in Morrigan’s throat only bigger, as she realized that it was really Alyra, not an impostor. Her breath on her lips, the gentle pressure of her hand on her cheek were not a dream. The whispers were more pressing, insisting on the verge of deafening: they spoke of decay and death and wrongness, and danger. Morrigan had seen her slice so many throats, kill enough people in cold blood to say the Well was wrong.
But that wasn’t the whole of it.
The Well knew many things, but the Well didn’t know everything. Not the care in which she cupped her face, not the love in which she still waited for Morrigan to take the first step, without forcing her or making her feel trapped or pressured. That little choice she gave her, knowing how important it was for her.
She waited in Amaranthine for 7 months, and for 7 months she endured and kept strong, hid under the carpet all the negative.
Only then, 7 months after Corypheus had been slain, 9 since she drank from the Well and lost her freedom yet again, in front of that little tenderness, Morrigan allowed herself to cry.
She folded forward, and the fact that she was met with a solid shoulder and arms that held her, made her cry more. She circled the other woman’s bust and held her with all she had in her. She didn’t remember the last time she cried like that, so loud and intensely. She held Alyra like she would have disappeared again if she let go, and squeezed her past the point of comfort. She had missed her, missed her so much that the voices in her head felt more distant, more quiet.
“What happened?”
She asked her, tenderly combing her hair with her fingers -stiffer than her usual, Morrigan didn’t want to know whether she was just tired or her mission had failed and the Blight was starting to get hold of her. She couldn’t face it, now. As the elf patiently waited for an answer. Morrigan felt the deep, satisfied sigh, her frame melting against hers, as if she too hadn’t relaxed in ages and was waiting for it.
“I-” She started, but the words died in her throat. She didn’t want to know, but she had to. She needed at least one thing to go right, in the grand scheme of things. “… Did you succeed?”
She didn’t need to specify in which exactly. And she hated the whiny tone the question came out from her mouth with. It was pitiful and pathetic, and she wasn’t a person who begged. She could care later, tho.
“Avernus has it. A last round of control.” Alyra answered, her arms holding her tighter. “… I have the Cure.”
Morrigan started crying again, fat tears surging instantly to her eyes, as some weight she didn’t realise she was carrying lifted from her shoulder. Alyra disentangled from the hug, still as quick and agile as ten years ago in her prime, and moved to cup her cheeks and delicately pull her head so she was looking in her eyes. Her eyes were shiny too, and she looked tired. Bone-deep tired. But less stoney than she had seen her ever since she first met their son. She pushed forward and gently nuzzled her nose with her own, stopping as usual but a breath away from her lips. Morrigan, this time, didn’t hesitate: she filled the distance and kissed her, her taste all so familiar and soothing. Finally, after three years.
“What happened to you?” She broke the kiss, but didn’t stray far, delicately kissing tears away from her cheeks. “You’ve missed me before, but you haven’t ever cried like so. Not even when I told you I couldn’t follow you through your mirror.”
Morrigan sighed, pressing forward until her face drowned in the crook of the other’s neck. Alyra shifted, urging her to lie down after a while that they hadn’t moved. Her back ached, she said: she had ridden fast and hard all day, and they weren’t all that young anymore.
She settled them under the covers, tugging the hem on Morrigan’s shoulder with just one hand. The other arm held her close all throughout, as if she knew she needed to be this close, hear her steady heartbeat under her ear, when she moved.
Satisfied, she settled more comfortably around the witch, holding Morrigan as she kept combing her hair with her fingers, absent-mindedly. Tracing circles on her skin. Pressing a kiss where she could, every now and then. On her cheek, jaw, neck and shoulder. She even started to humm a song: a familiar tune she had sung to Kieran every time she was there to tuck him to sleep.
Three years since they last saw each other.
Morrigan could have written more, or could have travelled to meet her. She could have travelled with her, even. She could have stayed in Amaranthine, 10 years ago when they met for the first time after the Blight. Alyra couldn’t move, but Morrigan could have stayed. She wondered what could have been, if she had. Kieran growing up happy with people he could have called family.
She could have done so many things more for the woman in her arms, the woman she loved.
And yet, as cruel and ruthless and unforgiving as her fame said, Alyra Mahariel never put an ounce of blame on her. She was crying, so Alyra held her and soothed her until tears stopped.
She wondered if she would have done the same knowing what she did at the Well of Sorrow. Knowing that she took the Well away from two Dalish. The Well and the voices whispered she was theirs, that the illusion that she belonged with her was just that. She belonged to them, now. It was foolish to hope anything else. Such was the price she paid.
Bile rose in her throat, the thought of losing her love unbearable and anguishing.
But once again, she had to know.
Hunger for knowledge was what would have brought her demise, ultimately. And it was better now than later, she thought. Even if it was the most terrifying thing she had ever done.
Her hands fisted in the cotton of her shirt, a silent plea not to go, to stay where she was. Four words that weighted like the whole castle slowly creeped out of her lips.
“I made a mistake.”

The Route Thief
Tumblr media
Sumary: Everybody used to tell me to stop playing those games, but what can I do? An otome game is pretty addictive and specially if is one like Wizardess Heart. This game is my life! Wait, I didn't mean literally... Then, why I'm suddenly inside on my game!? Is that Hiro and Zeus? When I said this game is my life I didn't mean to want that this game BE my life!
Pairing: Hiro x Marian
Chapter 4
After dinner, Zeus and I went to a walk by the garden. Some orbs of light were flouting on all the way lighting up the path. I tried to touch one, I was wondering if it was hot. But actually it was just warm, and it was beautiful, some how, it make me relax and smile.
"What the heck are you doing?"
And stress came back
"I was just curious."
"I was talking about you coming to Gedonelune. What are you up to?"
Zeus approached me and blocked my way.
"I... Don't know what is happening either. I didn't know anything About it, I swear. "
"Like I'll believe that!"
He seems to be very angry. But why? Do he... He doesn't like his fiance? If I remember well, there's never mentioned that Zeus have a fiance. Like ever! But, it can be that he hides it. I need to know on what timeline am I. Is this before or after Night Class is revealed? The things will develop just like in the game or I'm in another time of story? Any way, why do I have to be Zeus's fiance!? If that was the deal well, I might had been Hiro's fiance, or Alfonse, or Elias. Not that Zeus is that bad, I know he's an idiot but he's very soft on the inside. But it seems like right now, I'm on his bad side. What should I do?
"Why are you against it? You don't want people to know that you have a fiance?"
"What I don't want is you saying everyone that I'm your boyfriend and then trying to boss me around all day!"
Huh? Could it be...?
"Listen, don't tell anyone that we're engaged, if you wanna go to the Academy well, go ahead. But I don't wanna you keep bother me all the time! I won't do all that you say just because it please it you! Understood? After all, is just a matter of time for me to find a way of cancel this compromise. "
I see, Clarisse said that between Zeus and I was an "enthusiastic" relationship. I guess it was her way to say that we discuss all the time. Boss him around huh? Is that what Marian does all the time? So Zeus is against it uh? That explain a lot but still...
"Ho-How rude, I already told you that I didn't know anything about this."
Even when I was trying to keep myself together, I'm weak when somebody rise his voice at me, and my voice shakes a little. I need to calm down. I avoid it him and continue the walk. I took another pat, I needed to stay away from him for a while.
"Gosh, what a big problem."
"You need help?"
I jumped in surprise and turn to see Hiro looking at me. I felt restless, I mean, I always enjoyed looking at him on my phone but here, I can't do that.
"Yo-You scared me."
"Sorry."
He stayed quite for a few moments. What should I do? What kind of relationship have Marian and Hiro? I might make another mistake.
"Oh, look, the flower I send you the other day is already blooming."
"Eh?"
I saw to where he was pointing and I saw a big blue flower on the center of a path. It was really beautiful whit the faint light of the moon upon of her.
"Ah, yea, it has become so pretty."
I smiled to him but he looked at me dead serious at the face. What? Did I mistaken again?
"So, is true?"
"Tru-True. What thing...?"
"It is true that you lost your memories."
My heart that was beating strongly a moment ago, it stopped suddenly. So, he knew. Of course, is Hiro, he can be sharp.
"You... Knew. Since when?"
"I just hear the maids saying something like that so I came to check myself. Of course I never sent you a flower, you neither speak or look at me like ever anyway. But today when we arrive your eyes were glued to me. It was strange since then. But now I see why."
I felt my face burning for embarrassment. Unfortunately there's no other pat I can take to run away.
"P-Please don't say anything. They told me that nobody should know. She'll punish the maids if she finds out too. That'll be unfair."
Hiro's eyes widen.
"Okay, this is kind of strange."
"Why you say so?"
"You're totally different from the Marian I know. She will never worry for the servants. She never smiles or speak softly at least she's plotting something."
"You're making me sound just like mother."
"Mmm... Yea, that's exactly how you are. Both are exasperating. No offense."
"Don't worry, I think I can agree whit you. It seems like I'm such a horrible person uh?"
Okay, now I see why I'm on Zeus bad side. Of course he never liked those things.
"You really hit hard from that fell huh?"
"Ah! Eh... It seems so, he hehe. "
How can I say that actually I'm not from this world!? Losing memories sounds more credible. I'll have to go whit that for now. And if is that the case then, I better gather all the information I can.
"Say, Hiro, if Zeus and I don't get along, why are we engaged? He even said that he'll find a way to cancel it. Why hasn't he done it yet?"
"Well, your mother, and you I think, convinced Zeus's mother to this."
Ah, Zeus's mother is scary to him. That makes sense.
"They're good friends so, Zeus's mother though it was a good idea. Also, your father and Zeus's father have a business right now so, is difficult for Zeus to say something like canceling."
"I see. Even if I also wanted, it seem difficult from my part too."
So basically, mom wants his daughter to marry into nobility. And they trying to caught them by business matters, so they think that a marry is convenient. How typical.
"That's right. But, you can change it if you want."
"What do you mean?"
"You seem to be nicer than before, no offense. So, why don't try to fix things whit him now? Tell him what happened."
"What? They told me to especially not to tell Zeus about it."
"Yea but that can clear a lot of misunderstandings don't you think? Zeus is not that bad as you think."
I know he's not a bad person. He always was a kind person and even when it doesn't seem like it, he was unexpectedly gentle and supportive. Maybe, Hiro is right and I should tell him. He might soften to me.
"Okay, I'll go tell him."
"Good."
I went to search Zeus again on the garden. And when I found it he of course, send me an annoying glance.
"Zeus, there's something I need to tell you."
"uh? What is it this time?"
"Well, you see, it might be hard to believe but, due to the horse falling, I get hit on my head and when I woke up, I've lost my whole memories. I didn't even remember what my name was."
Zeus stayed silent for a moment, he didn't even blink when I told him the story. Did he hear me at least?
"Mmm, I see, so now you don't remember anything uh?"
I looked at him whit hope. Does he believe me?
"Is this just another one of your tricks!?"
"Uh?"
Suddenly, my hopes shattered on pieces.
"What kind of game is that!? Do you really think I'll believe a nonsense like that? You always made up lies like that just to toy with me. That's why I didn't believe that thing of the horse when they told me at first. I just came cuz my mother forced me. And now you have amnesia? Yea right."
Zeus passed me and start walking towards the exit.
"There you are Hiro! Come on, lest get out of here. I'm sick of this place. "
Zeus really is an idiot uh?
"Umm, Marian?"
Hiro approached me from behind. I... Wasn't feeling quiet right.
"Hey, uh, I'm sorry, I... Know I encourage you to tell him but... I guess, I forgot that Zeus is also a big idiot. I should've think on that before."
"No, is okay. He's right. I'm a horrible person after all,. I shouldn't expect him to believe me. "
I felt so frustrated. Nothing of this is my fault! Why I have to bear all of this? I couldn't see Hiro in the eye so I just turned and started to leave. But a ruffle of my dress got caught on a root. Gosh! What else can go wrong! I stared to pull my skirt to free it. Stupid dress!
"Calm down, if you pulled it like that you'll ripped it."
Hiro kneeling down and carefully loose the riffle.
"There you go."
He stood up again, and my eyes fixed on the sword he was wearing on his waist. I saw his tattoo on the other arm too.
"Are you okay?"
He asked me.
"I... Remembered that I'll be going to a Magic Academy next week. But, I don't know anything about magic."
"You also forgot it?"
"I guess."
"Well, it always exists the possibility for you to remember. We still don't know how much time this will be."
"I don't know if I want to be back to who I was before. It seems that I'm not a good person."
I miss my home, I miss my family, I miss my friends. This is not what I wanted. Will I ever go back to my own world?
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore, right?. You are the one living now. Whoever you were in the past it has stayed behind, you don't need to behave like someone you don't know. The one you are right now is the one that matters. And while you are here you can, you know, take advantage of this life and live it to the fullest. Don't you think?"
Hiro's words sounded like he'll know about the real me. It felt like... It really makes sense... In a strange way.
"Hey, Hiro! Hurry up! What is taking you so long!?"
"And that's my call. You should come too, to say goodbye. "
"Uh, right."
"The name is Hiro, by the way. Just in case."
"Hiro. Thank you, for being so nice even when is obviously that I haven't been nice to you before. "
"Don't mind it."
He briefly smiled at me and then keep walking, he is so considerated.
We said goodbye at the entrance, and while they leave I keep thinking on Hiro's words, he made me feel a lot at ease. Hehe, he is just like in the game huh? I should live this life to the fullest uh? I headed to my room, but before climbing the stairs, someone grabbed my hair and pulled me up stairs.
"Kyaa! What...!?"
I briefly saw that it was mother the one pulling me from my hair. And she didn't let me go until we reach my room. She pushed me inside and I stumble whit my dress and fell on the ground.
"Can I know what we're you thinking?"
Now, why is she so angry now?
"What were you doing talking whit that servant?"
"Servant? You mean Hiro?"
"Your goal is Zeus! You don't have time to lose on a servant, I've told you thousands of times!
