Believe [Discontinued]

Chapter 9

hello!

---------

Edd eventually got a letter from both his friend and Tom's mother. Tom was so happy hearing from his mom for the first time is so long, that he started to do a little cheer dance with Ringo.

"Mr. Edd! My mom said that as long as we send her the address of a mailbox, that she is fine with me moving out of town!"

"That's great Tom, looks like you will get to talk to your mom more. Also, this is the reply my friend sent. It looks like we can move in with them for a while."

Tom stopped and turned to Edd. He was worried.

"Are you sure I won't be a bother to them?"

"They full well that you and Ringo are a package deal with me and still said yes. They will love you and you are not a bother. These guys are okay. After all, they are my friends and I know they will be yours too."

Edd smiled softly at Tom and patted his head. Tom pouted with red cheeks and adjusted his hood. Ringo meowed with glee.

---------

Edd started to pack and organize his stuff. He had too figure out what to keep and what to burn. After all, what kind of holy creature would leave something behind for greedy humans to use? He decided that he would take all of Tom's stuff with them and leave only a few of his own clothes behind to burn in the house.

That reminds me, I need to tell Tom that the house will be burned down.

"Hey, Tom!"

"Yes?"

"I forgot to say this, but when ever I move places, I always burn my house down so I don't leave anything behind!"

"Okay!"

---------------------

They will start their journey two days from now because that is the date on the train tickets.

"I've never been on a train before."

"Me neither, I think they run on steam or coal, I can't remember."

"Um....Mr.Edd...."

"If it is okay to ask.... How do you have the money get train tickets or do you ride for free?"

"Oh, I accumulated some wealth back in my younger days when I use to be showered in offerings. Not many humans outside certain towns completely in creatures like me. Some have no idea we exist at all. We don't have any reason to do anything rather shocking, they don't actually have to know either. So, I bought tickets for all of us. Leave it to me, Tom! I will show how much fun the outside world is!"

Tom felt excited at the idea and started to imagine all sorts of crazy things that could happen.

"Now, Tom. One more thing, my friend is like me, but he isn't the same. He has someone like you, but he is called the Obsidian Keeper. You are the Pearl Keeper. The color of obviously associated with them is black and we are white, but that doesn't mean they are bad guys."

Tom listened carefully.

"They are rather swell guys if you get to know them better."

---------

It's the day before they have to leave and Tom is doing his best not to clean.

"Remember Tom, the house is going to be burned, cleaning is pointless."

He was struggling.

--------------

Hey, do any of you know what I can call Edd and Tord? I don't want to call them gods and I want them to have plenty of restrictions, but at the same time to be held to different standard and regarded with supernatural superiority.

Bye!!
