"Big brother, can I come in and talk?" Calder asked as he knocked on the door to Esai's bedroom. There was no response. "Big brother?" Calder called out as he cracked open the door. No response. "Esai?" Calder called out as he stuck his head in, he was starting to get worried. Esai said he needed to be alone and for no one to follow but Calder couldn't help himself. He needed to figure out what he saw.
The room was dark, the only source of light was the small amount of moonlight coming in through the window. "There is no Goddess in this world." Esai said in a deep voice as he slightly slurred his words. Calder's hair stood on end as he clutched the door.
"Brother?!" Calder called out as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he finally spotted Esai sitting on the couch with a large wine cup sitting elegantly in the palm of his hands. Esai had leaned back casually and his clothes were in disarray.
