Fantasy The Unilluminated

[solicitude]

Timothy smiled. "Well, whatever you say!" He smiled and headed to Brian's. "Brian is a pretty cool guy."

 

[AriaFocus]

A small smile grew on her face, "Well you're pretty nice so I believe that. How do you know him, from Eron?"

 

[solicitude]

"He's kinda like Eron's second in hand. When Eron wasn't sure on what to do with me, he had Brian show him how to be a good parent because of his brother...Umm...Don't mention his brother around him though..."

 

[AriaFocus]

She took a second to think then nodded, "I'll make a note of that! You're so lucky that Eron is nice to the two of you. I feel like I'm on the edge of a sword just balancing." She chuckled awkwardly.

 

[solicitude]

"Oh... He, um, he's kinda mean to Brian too... Umm... The thing is that when he was still human Eron told him if he did a few simple things he'd protect his brother... He ended up having to kill his newly married wife... He never protected his brother... Brian really hates him..."

 

[AriaFocus]

She shivered when he said that and closed her eyes for a few moments. "Well.... Why.... This is why I tried to talk to Eron! I can't believe something like that would happen." Her voice got shaky while she was speaking, and she slowed down walking. "Have you ever tried to stop Eron before? Please tell me you have..."

 

[solicitude]

"W-Well....I have... I just.... I know there's some good in him but he chooses to keep it all in..." He looked down.

 

[AriaFocus]

She saw him look down and instantly felt bad, she gave him a hug, "Well, it's not your fault. If it was truly your fault then I would have a purpose to be upset. I'm sorry. Let's go meet this Brian guy. He can cheer us up!"

 

[solicitude]

Timothy nodded. He saw Brian outside and ran over to him, hugging him. "Hi, Brian!"


10 jumped a little. "Hey... Tim... How are you, kiddo?" He smiled.





"Good! This is my new friend!"

 

[AriaFocus]

She looked between Brian and Timothy, laughing at how the two seemed to get along. Wow, they must always see each other! "Uh.. Hi! I'm Ri. Nice to meet you!"

 

[solicitude]

10 nodded. "I'm, uh, Brian but most people call me 10... Which is my worker name... Yeah..." He shrugged.

 

[AriaFocus]

"It's nice to meet you though! It's nice to know that besides Timothy there are some nice people here. Assuming you're a nice person." She put her arm on her head, chuckling.

 

[solicitude]

"Well, as nice as I'm allowed to be."





Timothy climbed on top of him, ruffling his fur.

 

[AriaFocus]

She laughed watching Timothy, "Well, I know a few people that'd take him out for doing that!" She pointed towards Timothy. "As long as you try your best. As of yet you've not done anything too wrong since I've met you!"

 

[solicitude]

10 nodded. "Well then thank you, miss." He said with a nod.

 

[AriaFocus]

She shook her hands in front of her in an X shape, "You don't have to be so formal! If anything I should be calling you sir, you're higher ranking than me!" She laughed a little.

 

[solicitude]

10 chuckled. "I hardly know you. Who am I to judge?"

 

[AriaFocus]

"Maybe you're a judge?" She laughed, "We are exploring today, can you come with? We could all hang out together before going back to the land of fun!" She had a hint of both sarcasm and joy in her voice, her eyes brightening when thinking of being able to be with everyone.

 

[solicitude]

"Sure. If you don't mind me asking, why are you here? Eron doesn't like visitors." He said, following.

 

[AriaFocus]

"Well, I tried to talk him out of his whole plan, perhaps with some force, but he didn't exactly like that approach. But he just let me out of my cell and now I am here. I don't even have to stay in the cell anymore!" She shrugged, "But I'm not really sure why I am allowed out, especially with the assignment of watching Timothy."

 

[solicitude]

"He's like really overprotective over Tim. He must have a thing for nice people despite being a bad person..."

 

[AriaFocus]

"I'm shocked that he would trust me with Timothy, after all, who says I won't harm him?" She laughed quickly then blushed, "But I won't! I don't want to hurt any of you!"

 

[solicitude]

Timothy sighed in relief. He got worried for a sec there.


"He probably knows your a good person and won't hurt good people. Trust me, if you were bad he'd kill you."

 

[AriaFocus]

She winced at Brian's words, "Well, I definitely don't want to die, so even if I weren't good... I'd behave myself. I just can't bring myself to harm anyone like that." She took in a deep breath, "Why do we have to be so serious? It's our time to be mildly free!" She smiled and waved her arms around.

 

[solicitude]

Brian smiled. "You're right." If only I could be free... He shivered and kept walking.
