Horrifying Realization
'Hermes is one of the eyes of Chaos? Is that a bad thing?' Truly, Alex did not understand what his friend was saying.
Hermes continued, "Alex, I had to tell you this because I wouldn't ever be able to sleep if Chaos hurt you."
"Because I'm one of those eyes, the day you came to this world, Chaos asked me to put you two in contact, but I refused..." Hermes grit his teeth.
Then, he had an outburst of emotion.
"I should have known that he'd use one of his other eyes to contact you if he can't go through me...."
Alex placed his two hands on his friend's shoulders.
"Look at me, Hermes."
Hermes raised his face.
"I'm safe, I won't take the Essence now, I promise, I don't know why you'd be a servant of 'that' but I know you have your reasons," Alex calmly stated.
Hermes smiled and asked, "So, you're not going to go anywhere?"
"Of course not, you tea-loving dummy!" Alex hit his friend on the head.
