The Axe- Ident

Part Seven

*Eteled wakes up, still in the same place as he was when he fell asleep*

Eteled: Where..? *he remembers the conversation with Sam*

Eteled: Maybe it's better to stay lost for the moment..

*Walking around, he remembers the pain in his shoulder*

Eteled: Oh..yeah..that

*He continues to ignore that searing pain in his shoulder and walks around instead. All was fine before an unknown voice startles him*

?: Hello? Who's there?

Eteled: Uh I..Nevermind, I should be the one asking you that question

Eliminar: Sorry, how rude of me! My name is Eliminar

*While not hearing or even using his Spanish in years, he was still as pristine as always in it*

Eteled: Elimin..Wait! Isn't that Spanish for Eliminate?

Eliminar: Actually, it is. I wasn't expecting you to know that

Eteled: I may not have heard or even spoken Spanish in a while but that doesn't mean I'll forget it that easily

Eliminar: Well, I told you my name. What's yours?

Eteled: Oh, my name..? Ah..it's Eteled.

Eliminar: Eteled huh? And you said my name was weird-

Eteled: Yeah, yeah. What are you doing out here anyway?

Eliminar: Taking a walk. What about you?

Eteled: I'm just..I don't know-

Eliminar: What do you mean you "don't know"

Eteled: I guess you could say I was backed up into a corner and my only option was run..

Eliminar: "Backed into a corner"? What-?

Eteled: I'd explain but I don't quite trust you and the story is pretty long

Eliminar: I guess that makes sense. But if you're running I wouldn't expect you to have a place to stay, right?

Eteled: Oh..uh- I didn't even think of that-

Eliminar: How-

Eteled: I guess we could say that wasn't the first thing on my mind at the moment. *rolls his shoulders back only to wince in pain* Ow..

Eliminar: Ooh..That looks painful, need some help?

Eteled: I'd appreciate it, yeah.

*Eliminar walks over to Eteled and holds his hand*

Eliminar: Let's go then?

Eteled: Yeah

*They walk through the forest with Eliminar asking Eteled questions and only receiving answers for some of them.*

Eliminar: Well, here we are! Home sweet home!

*Their house was a small cottage. It was small and remote. Then it hit Eteled, this was the house that used to be abandoned. His 'safe space' as he called it*

Eliminar: It was abandoned and nobody seemed to live here. There was a random drawer with a locket in it, however.

Eteled: A..locket? *eyes widen at realization* Wait-! A locket?! Can I see it?
