26- Night (2)

Faced with the unknown situation Evan didn't have much choice, he thought positively.

"A Singularity has a way out, that way out maybe this way."

Thinking that the situation he is in is that he is in a singularity is the option that gives him a modicum of hope to continue his journey.

Besides being alert because of the bad feeling he possesses, with no ideas or clues to any of his problems only made him more tense.

Thanks to Evan no longer having bottles with feelings, right now his body reacts in a calmer and more frivolous way thanks to that. But you can't escape from feelings like pure demons, Evan has a slight percentage of feelings, and for that reason, he can smile in a simple way.

In the distance something strange to his eyes, he appreciated.

A Lady with white skin covered by a dark cloak like night, her skin is not white by human standards her skin is white as paint, but the hair on her body is much whiter than her skin to the point that it releases light. Her white eyes are totally white only a small golden ring surrounding this delineated, unlike her sclera and iris.

It was for an instant that he could see her face, but her entire body was covered with a cloak that seemed to merge with the sky itself, the cloak covered her face and body, only leaving in sight her white lips and her hands coming out of her cloak.

Along with this Lady, a boy of no more than 12 years old accompanied her, he had the same features as the Lady, white as paint.

Their bodies both release a steady white light and both approach in a calm manner in Evan's direction. Although difficult to see, his features are easy to notice.

Suspecting a threat Evan grabbed the handle of his sword.

The reaction did not come from the adult Lady, but from the boy who appears to be 12 years old. The boy stood in front of the Lady with his arm outstretched for the Lady to stop, his calm white eyes turned serious and threatening.

Before things could get more intense the Lady put her hand on his shoulder, the young boy could only frown before turning back and stepping behind the Lady.

"Excuse me" In a polite manner she spoke to Evan, keeping a moderate distance.

"I hope you don't mind but will you allow me to walk beside you for a while?" she mentioned in a tone sweet to the ears.

Without any confidence, Evan didn't have to think long before answering.

"No."

Quickly refusing he retreated from where he stood in a brisk manner, increasing the distance between him and the Lady.

***

"It didn't work..." sighed the lady disappointedly.

The boy could only shake his head.

"Why are we approaching that child?"

"My little star, I told you to pay attention to him."

"Yes, I did pay attention to him and there is nothing special about him, besides his strange eyes and his race. Even if those characteristics don't make him special and worthy of your attention, we have seen many interesting people in these thousands of years and he has nothing new."

"I guess you're more blind than I expected" She sighed as she continued her walk towards Evan.

"Ahh..." Without much choice, he followed his Lady.

***

'I'm still being followed' Evan couldn't see himself thanks to the distance he managed to get by his quick actions, however, the feeling of being followed was constant.

Evan who had already turned to look back, looked back again to confirm his assumptions. With surprise, he could see that they were already 10 meters away from him, only this time instead of being face to face Evan was turning his back to them.

Forcefully he ran back away from them, only to check again and see them both at the same distance as before.

"Tsk!"

Evan understood that he was being forced to accompany the Lady and that giving him the option of refusing her proposal was only a courtesy.

Evan grumbled a bit before turning around and facing the Lady head-on.

"It's okay... you can walk with me."

"That makes me very happy" With innocence and joy the Lady walked over to Evan's side while the boy stood with his back to both of them.

The Lady didn't start talking right away and walked beside Evan for 15 minutes before she actually started talking.

"Why did you leave home?" was the Lady's first question.

"How do you know I left home and not that I'm going straight home?" Evan objected to the Lady's words.

"By your footsteps and your gaze."

"Why by my footsteps and my gaze?" Frowning and confused by the Lady's words, he questioned the Lady's words for an explanation.

"Your footsteps are of one going to an unknown place, if you were going home your footsteps would know where you were going. While your gaze is one full of expectation, which awaits new things... a new destination" Her last words were slow and sad.

Those same sad words echoed in Evan's head, that place where he is going is his second chance. Being with his Lya will allow him to be in a safe place as he ventures into the lands of the night.

Evan has given it some serious thought.

If he goes and is not allowed to venture as he wishes his only option is to go it alone, something that simply no one will allow, he doesn't demand much just freedom to go where he wants if there is somewhere forbidden for political reasons or whatever he will simply retreat and go somewhere else.

Freedom to go where he wants and freedom to learn, to see the world as he wishes.

"I left home because I want to see the world with my own eyes and learn as I please" Evan replied to the first question the Lady asked him.

Nodding, the Lady asked another question.

"Can I propose something to you?"

"What's in it for me?"

"A question, you can ask me a question to your liking."

"If it's a question I'll get, whatever you propose can't be something difficult."

Punched!

A slight pain came to his head, a delayed reaction to something that just happened. Evan who doesn't know the reason for the headache, massaged his temples to relax the headache.

'What happened?' He questioned the source of the constant pain in his head, before it was not so deep but now Evan could feel it, even in a detailed way.

He felt multiple needles enter his head from the outside, creating holes inside his skull and a current of air enters and shakes his brain. This was only an illusion of her mind because, despite the realistic sensation, her head was not really opening.

The Lady noticed what was happening with Evan and moved intimately closer to Evan, her height which was taller than Evan by 20 cm, became the same height 1.62 meters.

With one of Evan's hands on her waist and the other hand intertwined with the Lady's remaining hand, they moved into a dancing position.
