4 Chapter 3 What is "Time" for an Immortal

"Master!"

I looked back at the strange man just as I landed down. He kneel in front of me and continued speaking.

"It's me master. Don't you remember me? The kid you raced eighty nine years ago."

What? Did I heard it wrong? How could that child grow so fast just after leaving me? I walked closely trying to observe his whole face and body and it seems that there is really quite a resemblance between him and that kid.

"We should come back to my place now before that vampire comes back. Let's go master." and then again he lifted me and placed firmly in his arms without waiting for my response.

When we arrived at his house he put me down and started talking again.

"I know you are still doubting if it is really me so here is my contact seal." He unbuttoned his shirt and revealed my mark on the left side of his chest and so I finally believed him.

I transformed back to my human form and looking between him and my appearance, he still looks older than me.

"How did you grow so fast? Did you lose your immortality?"I finally asked.

"No master. I think my werewolf blood is just more dominant than my vampire blood so my growth is based on a werewolf's fast maturity and not on the very slow aging of a vampire. And besides it has been thirty five years since I left our place."

"Thirty five years?! Wait... maybe you got it wrong. It was just like a few days passed before I decided to follow you." I am getting a headache trying to figure out the times I spent since then and it seems that I still don't want to believe him.

"And how many countries did you cross before you reached this country?"

"Half the world map, I guess?"

"And you still can't believe that it has been that long? Master, I never lose track of the times I've been waiting for you because you promised that one day you will come with me outside that cave." his expression changed and his tone seems to be upset.

"I'm sorry. Maybe my mind is a little messed up and lost my sense of time as I wander around the world and seeing the changes everywhere. I never thought that you will seriously wait for me for that long." so I guess he is right, maybe I forget how fast time flow in the human world.

"It's okay, at least we are back together now and I'm happy to serve and guide you in this modern society master." he smiled and handed me a new set of clothes to change.

I still can't imagine how that kid who looks like a fifteen years old brat became a thirty years old looking man. With his appearance now which is adjusted to fit in the human society, a tall build body, dark blue hair and deep dark eyes compared to his real form which have a pair of mismatched color eyes of topaz and ruby and a wavy blond hair, the difference is too great that no one will ever think that they are the same person of not observed carefully.

As to my appearance, I have many forms but my real form is still a secret which I never showed to anyone except this kid. As of now I choose the form I am most comfortable with, a teenage boy with brown hair and sapphire eyes with a natural lazy look and unfortunately a short height.

From the point of view of a human, I am confident to say that we can pass as brothers if we are walking together outside. Thinking it through about how we should live naturally in this society maybe acting as brothers is the best idea.
