UNLUCKY
Ch.22 - Meet Alvauden
"I've been able to appear like this for a long time .." said the little boy.
Cain immediately sat limply looking at the abnormal phenomenon with his own eyes, "So you're a ghost?" ask Cain.
"Because of you, so I understand. .. You can call me that!" answer the little boy.
Felix, who was still holding onto the little boy's shoulder, took it off.
But the little boy with black hair tied in a ponytail grabbed Felix's hand again, "Why is it taken off?" said.
"Who are you?" ask Felix.
"No, what are you?" ask Cain.
"I am Alvauden who failed to become Amantasia" the boy replied.
"Alv what? Safe what?" Cain was confused at the new word.
"But you're not very polite when you talk?" the little boy sewot.
"You should be speaking politely! You little boy!" Reply Cain.
"I'm even older than his predecessor!" felix's Designation.
"My predecessor?" ask Felix.
"The Caldway!" answer the little boy.
"What else is that? Huh huh? she disappeared?" Cain was shocked to stand up.
"He's still here, what do you mean?" Felix pointed at the empty air.
"It seems that your strength has not recovered, usually I can last 1 month in Mundclariss if the Caldway touches me for a while," the little boy looked at his hand.
"So I can make a ghost look if I touch it?" Felix held the little boy again.
Slowly the boy reappeared, "Of course!" reply jolly.
"Wait, can you explain from the beginning?" Cain was calm.
If this had happened before he knew Felix's strength he probably wouldn't have believed this easily.
"Alvauden, also known as the friend of the Caldway. Caldway was the Great Hero of the Glorious War 10 years ago."
"So what did you say you failed to become?" ask Cain again.
"Amantasia, the resurrected Ghost became a citizen of Mundebris."
"Mundebrists?"
"The Dark World."
Cain began to laugh loudly on the side of the road to make the little boy look around because of his own shame to see Cain's behavior.
"I must be crazy!" cain wiped his tears from laughing.
"I must have gone mad as well for being the one who explained this to the successor of the Caldway."
Felix didn't know what to react to, on the other hand he was like hearing a fairy tale but on the other hand it felt familiar to him, "So what's your name?" ask Felix.
"You must remember it for yourself!" answer the little boy.
"Are you a girl or a boy by the way?" ask Cain.
"I'm a man!" upset answer.
For a long time they sat three by the roadside just staring at each other. If the little boy disappeared, Felix touched him again, "So why did you fail to become Amantasia?"
"That's ..." The little boy was choked and couldn't speak.
"Is it because of the glorious War 10 years ago you said that?" ask Felix.
"the war? what do you mean war?" Cain supported his body with both hands behind him as if leaning back.
"I'm not the right person to explain that, I'm just here to tell you something basic like this to keep my word."
"Promise?"
"Before the Caldway disappeared I was given the task of reminding his successors the basics so you could start doing your job quickly but it took me a long time to find you."
"How did you find me? how can you be sure I'm the one you're looking for?" ask Felix streak.
"If it is still a little but the appearance of your green hair can give an aura of your existence to all Ghosts or Dark World Residents."
Cain got goosebumps himself, "So you mean Felix's whereabouts can pull all the Ghosts off like that?"
"But you didn't?"
"I told you I'm Alvauden."
"Ah, yes .. yes ... Alvauden."
"I'm going to go now, next you have to find out for yourself."
"Where do you live?" ask Felix.
"I am now Alexavier" he replied.
"What else is Alex ... avier?" Cain began to get upset with the many new words he heard.
"House Guard."
"Which house are you guarding?" ask Felix.
"You'll find out for yourself later."
"How would I know if you didn't tell me?" Felix was also getting upset.
"You are the manifestation of all the knowledge that exists in this world." replied the little boy no less upset.
"Say you're my predecessor's friend!"
"Yes .. 'cause he's me too I'm Alexavier!" the little boy ran away and left Felix and Cain, who were still sitting on the dark side of the road.
"I wish this was just a dream?" said Cain.
***
Felix and Cain just stayed on the bus without a word.
"So ...." Cain wants to start the conversation.
"Emmm?"
"So ...." Cain could not continue his sentence.
"So what?" Felix started raising his voice.
"Guestshh!" Cain told Felix to shut up, "How about you make all the ghosts come."
"You didn't hear that? he said ghosts were afraid of me."
Cain started to move away from Felix but was pulled closer by Felix, "You can behave normally, can't you?"
"What is normal? you're not normal yourself!" Cain said it while shouting to make the bus passengers turn towards them all.
"You boys, don't fight!" said the grandfathers sitting in front of him.
"Sorry cake!" Cain began to bow apologizing.
***
Felix and Cain walked down the street to the far-flung orphanage, "Until when do you want to get away from me like this?" Felix shouted from behind.
Cain halted his steps and Felix ran to Cain's side.
"Have this just been the prank of the little boy, let's forget it," Felix embraced Cain.
Even though Cain himself already knew that Felix did have the power but did not understand what the little boy said. The normal world he lived in was unimaginable if there were other things that also co-existed and the War that was said earlier made him think actually how wide this world where things could happen that did not enter deacons and the unknown.
"Felix, there's actually something I want to tell you ...."
"Heiii you have arrived" cried Teo and Tom as he waved from the gate of the parlour.
"How are you guys doing?" Felix ignored Cain's words and started running towards the gate.
"Hah ... come on! after all, the ghost of the little boy could have lied why I was so easy to believe like this," Cain also ran slowly behind Felix.
***
Felix's midnight habit began again, Cain also began to wake up reading books and opening the window of the room and watching Felix sitting under a tree near the yard, "What am I really doing? Felix would never be able to and even, I mean .. he himself would never be able to hurt himself."
Starting from the Helianthus Orphanage fire, he did not take a bus that crashed, a tree that fell in the middle of the road. It's not a coincidence, but there's something like trying to keep Felix safe.
"What am I really? After hearing the little boy's words, if it's true, it means I have things to do as soon as possible. But what?" Felix scratched his head in annoyance.
Felix just sat quietly in the chair and soon began to notice his green glowing nails, "Huh?" he began to bite his nails and the clipped nail suddenly appeared as a small tree made the chair Felix occupied topple over, "Hahaha what the hell is this?" Felix began to wake up to clean himself from the grass that was attached and looked at the tree that suddenly grew.
