Never Ending Story

i look away without answering.

ursula and zeles watch from a distance.

"Ok, since you won´t talk, i´ll do it. I don´t know what happened to you for 8 years and I really hoped that you were ok, and seeing that you were fine now is something im grateful, but I still don´t know if you are truly fine, besides, holding onto those memories is causing you too much pain, you have to move on from them." Kristia said

"If you still wonder about an answer from me, that is something you will understand with time Forte, I can´t say no because you are one of the few people whi understood me when we were younger and acted as a brother to me. But.. I can´t say yes because you were also a brother to me and a lot has happened in these 8 years, we are not who we used to be on those younger years, but of us needed to move on." the huntress said calmly

"ur right." i said looking at the water in my cup.

"its probably becuase of me that u cant find love with a male but its also becuase of me that u went through that so i apologize for everything even though i now that wont change what happen." i said like i was hollowed out.

"zero." zeles said softly.

"Im glad that you understand Forte, I shall take my rest" Kristia said leaving to her room passing by Zeles

In the room, Ursula was sitting on her bed "How you feeling?" she asked

"I feel emotionally tired, but i will be fine" The huntress said sitting on the other side letting her head fall on the pillow

"Just relax Kristia" The blue haired girl said holding her partner close to her while they fell asleep.

zeles walks over to me.

"r u ok?" she asks. i look at her and she say the look of emptiness in my eyes.

she sat down next to me and bring my head close to her. "im srry zero." she said.

A cloudy day it was.. but they were not natural clouds up there.. they came from down here on the land.. pillars of black clouds were made from enormous fires.. nothing left a person said.. and nothing remained on the lands...

Then a black room.. it was just a box of rock with a metallic door on it´s roof... only a tray of bread appeared sometimes.. then different rooms with different machines.. all of diffrent purposes yet with a single goal.. and again.. back to the black room

After that there was water.. an ocean of water that became a darkland.. there stood a skeletal form who asked for a soul.. but the soul stood there facing the skeleton.. then stages of different worlds and emotions with a single person.. and finally a stage that had a small girl who opened a crimson door..

A girl woke up in a metallic blade.. the persons around her tried to stop her.. a line of red appeared.. a person fell.. another line of red.. another person.. a river of red followed the little girl.. and she ran to the forest..

"The world of dreams is full of good and bad memories, but what matters is to face your fears" a blue haired girl said holding a grown up version of the little girl and she answered "The Fears are part of us, that makes us humans, even in death we must face our fears" the white heaired girl said before waking up in the present and with great calm

i sit in a chair back in the inn room with my head tilted back. "its my fault, im the one who cause it on her." i keep repeating.

zeles looks on in worry. "zero, what can i do to help? please tell me." she says.

i just keep repeating the same words.

"You know, you need to move on forte" Kristia said opening the door

"I mean seriously, its on the past, you need to let it go" the huntress told him

"i cant." i said.

"zero, please return back to normal." zeles said.

Ok, Ill take care of this.." the huntress muttered

She faced Forte and slapped him

"Now see me" she ordered

i fall onto the floor.

zeles runs over to me but i just lay there.

The huntress got annoyed and held him by his collar

"you better not be dead because that would be what a coward does, now stop this thing and wake up"

"im not a coward." i said with a blank look.

"Then get up and face your fears" the huntress said

"im not afraid, its just my fault that everything happened to u." i said not looking at her

"So what? Im not dead or anything, it happened 8 years ago and
I wasn´t so traumatized as you are now, i am the one who faced
those events and for whta this looks like, an 11 years old girl is far
braver than you, so now just let it go" the huntress said

"just leave me b." i said placing my right hand on her left wrist.

"Fine, do whatever you want since you are the allmighty Zero, but
when you let your gods damn pride away, you will finally understand"

The huntress left the room

"i never said i was almighty." i said.

zeles holds me. "im here for u." she said.

hey you guys whats up?

Kristia sat on a chair near ray

"I don´t really know to be honest, what advice can you give me Ray?" the huntress asked massaging her temples

i resting on the bed as zeles sits next to me.

"zero, i know that u can pull through this. i know that ur trying to accept what u've done and ur trying to cope with it but remember that ur not alone, im here for u and so is kristia, ursula, ray and pina, we all r here for u." she said looking at me.

i wake up. "mmmm, that was a good sleep." i said streching.
"zero!!" zeles said as she hugs me.
"zeles?! y do u have a body?" i ask as i c her in a body.
"u dont remember?" she asked surprised.
"the last thing i remember is cing is a man of white and a women of black." i said with my right hand on my chin.
"so he doesnt remember the arguement between him and kristia." she said in her mind.
"so how is it u have a body?" i asks.
"well." she said as she lets go of me and stands up. "those two, the white man and the black women gave me a body and none of my gene's matches urs so now we can b together, i want to b with u but." she said looking away from me.
"but what?" i ask.
"u better talk to kristia about that." she said.

Kristia was answering some letters for the guild and her annoyance with the travelling people was still on her mind

"finally, no more letters to sign" the huntress said resting on the chair, Ursula came in and took the leetters to a messenger.

"I don´t understand why you recieves all this approvation cards" the guardian said looking at some of them

"Since im one of the highest ranked hunters, the guild searchs for my knowledge so they can know what they can and can´t work with" kristia explained

i knock and enter kristia's room.

"yo, kristy, whats up?" i ask.
