Brothers: A Tale of a Bird and a Son

Chapter 20

"I fail, everyone was looking up to me and I failed. What a joke right? I shouldn't have run off to Techno. I should have done better than that. Yet I didn't." Tommy thought as he was falling into nothingness having no clue how long he's been falling for.

"I wonder if dad will be okay once I'm gone." He spoke out loud.

"Is that what you're calling this Aizawa now?"

Tommy looks over and sees Techno falling with him. "Yeah, why not. It's not like I have any other family."

"Wow, what a way to speak to your mother."

Tommy chuckles softly. "I guess my brain in the Black Forest then."

The boy watches the half-elf look over himself before sighing. "I guess this makes sense considering it's been a while since we talked."

"Yeah, it has been."

"So what has my little red been doing, besides you know dying."

"I've met some great people. And we're trying to save one of them. Oh! I think I've found people who like what I do! Isn't that great? I also think Oboro a bartender has a thing for dad. But we all know dad to cool to go for that. Oh! And Wilbur has this cool staff that makes fire come out of it! Did you know those giants went into wars? I thought they be like in books, helping the smaller folks. And and and!" Tommy quickly spoke as if he had limited time.

"Tommy, Tommy. Calm down." Techno chuckles softly before grabbing onto his hand. "I'm so proud that you're adventuring out. But I can't keep seeing you like this."

Tommy sighs softly. "This is only the third time. Maybe fourth. I think I got the hang of it."

"Still I worry about you. You've been eating enough right?"

Tommy could only playfully roll his eyes. "I know your not her. Just a play on play of my dreams and imagination. Maybe she was once a kind caring mum. But, if that was true then why the hell would she abandoned me in the first place."

"You know I would of never abandon you. You're my son."

"Then why the hell am I not home?" Tommy shot a glare at him.

"That's something I can't tell you. As it was your father's decision and before I could do anything he took you away."

Tommy thought for a moment before jerking his hand away from him. "Even if that was true! Why didn't you get me? I could of die out there you know!"

"I don't have all the answers. I remember things but they don't seem like mine like it was someone else's memories but it was in my body. Surely you and your brother understand that as well."

"What brother? I'm not with him." Tommy raises an eyebrow at him.

"He's not? I thought-" The half-elf paused. "But he told me he was with you?"

He watches as Techno's eyes widened in shock, before getting grab by a dark hand and pull him into the void. The boy goes into shock before jerking his body awake. Panting heavily before coughing a few times. Seeing a burst of lightning bolts flashing near him, all in a color of blue.

Tommy immediately tries to run only to get tackled down.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" He screamed as he squirm around trying to get away from who was holding him.

He felt his face be jerk forward to see Wilbur holding him.

"Hey, hey calm down. It's me. It's okay we got you."

The boy glances around, seeing Sako with his arm sparking little flames that quickly came and goes as it pleases. His teacher gone as well as Techno. The man he saw minutes ago on the ground. His heart started to quicken as he started to look down. He then felt his body being pulled into a hug.
