Corrupted Civilization

Chapter 31

"Bae why you d-"

"No more explanations, the room has decided by democracy...you will be banned from the council and that's it", interrupted Baelz the warden, Kronii couldn't still believe how that situation turned this way.

"Go and pack your things...don't forget to wear different clothes, except you prefer being nude in the outside world", ordered Baelz as she glared at the warden. Kronii felt extremely small with everyone's stare looking at her direction, she had to go away from the meeting room. So, she ran to the entrance and opened the door, leading her to the hallway.

"Kronii, wait", exclaimed Fauna behind the warden, the keeper of nature was one of the only chosen-ones who chose against banning Kronii. The warden stood still, waiting for Fauna to approach her.

"Kronii, you just can't leave us...I'm sure something is wrong with Bae...I'm sure of it...please...don't leave us...", Fauna begged, she couldn't stop her tears from running down her cheeks, Kronii couldn't stop her tears either. Both of them cried for a while in the hallway, hugging one another...separating the warden of time from everyone made them feel already the tragedy they would feel in the near future.

"Fauna, I have to go...I got kicked out...I hope to get back sooner or later, we won't stay in contact then...", said Kronii as she could feel from the touch of their bodies Fauna tremble from crying a lot. The keeper couldn't imagine a world without Kronii, she was always there for her when she needed, she was one of her closest friends, and yet they wouldn't be able to see each other. Fauna admitted, she still had feelings for Kronii, but she wanted to see her happy, and that would only go with another person...Mumei.

"I want to stay in contact with you...", Fauna mumbled with a sad tone in her voice, breaking the hug from each other...

"And I know how...but for now, you need to change clothes...don't worry Kronii...I have a plan...", whispered the keeper seriously, grabbing with both her hands on each Kronii's shoulders. Fauna ran through the hallway, leaving Kronii alone on her own, Fauna somehow knew what to do...

Kronii arrived to her own room, it was perfect, just how she always wanted it. This room was filled with the nightmares she dreamed at night, sadly she wouldn't sleep on a comfy bed anymore. As the warden found an old school bag and some usual human normal clothes, she changed into them and packed her school bag for her survival trip in the outside world. When she was finished, she simply sat on her bed, looking at the four walls around her and began daydreaming...

"Mumei, what's this ?", Kronii asked as she was inside an abandoned church, doing something which seemed like repairing a huge clock.

"I made you a flower with wires, I worked hard on this", explained Mumei, she looked like she was wearing a school uniform, plus she was in her teenager age.

"A flower made of wires, that's great, but wait...let me see your hands", Kronii let her tools drop to the ground and observed Mumei's hands. The girl's hands were half covered with band aids, some spots weren't covered and small wounds released a teensy bit of blood out of the open wound. Kronii got worried how the band aids weren't even put perfectly onto her hands.

"Mumei, your hands, they are still bleeding, why did you cut yourself ? You should be more careful...", said Kronii as she looked sadly at her wounds. However, Mumei simply smiled at the situation.

"Why are you smiling ?"

"Kronii, you see, no matter how much pain I felt, I just wanted to see your reaction to my hard work", Mumei explained, giving the warmest smile she ever put in front of the dark-haired woman.

"Mumei...I like it, let's go home and get you something to cover those wounds for good", Kronii put her tools back to her bag and went with Mumei to the house they were living at. The daydream ended as Kronii heard several knocks on the door, she demanded for the person to enter, which was probably Fauna. Surprisingly, not only Fauna entered Kronii's bedroom, but another member who chose against banning her, it was none other than...Sana.
