Lost In Time (Druig)

Chapter 3: Secrets

Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's kinda fun to have him inside of my head, instead of hearing my own voice thinking about so many things. I don't what it is about his voice sometimes giving me comfort, but ofcourse it's not always like that, for example what just happened in the classroom.

It's why I love and hate him sometimes.

Anyway, this mind control of his is also another way of the Eternal communicating with me, while not using any words. It's easier, but nonetheless, I prefer talking with words, or the ASL he taught me; you can use words if you want too, because people whom are hard hearing, can read lips while you're using ASL, and I think it's a very interesting way of communicating.

It took a while before the class was over, and I think the students learned a lot from today's class, as I've told them as much as I could with the time I was given. It was ofcourse my favourite subject to teach, so I could've told them these stories for hours, but unfortunately, I can't make them listen to me all day long, and they probably don't want too.

How much I like teaching these children, I also prefer to have some peace and quietness during the day, just like right now when I'm done with my class. It's mostly the Amazon itself that's giving me comfort, because of the atmosphere around it that creates a kind of peaceful feeling.

I don't really know how to describe it properly. You should definitely feel the same thing if you were here.

I quickly grab my bag from the desk, as my class is already walking towards the exit of the school, back to their homes, while the other teacher with the next group of students are waiting to get in; it's a standard routine everyone started to follow when it was brought up as an idea, and since then, it works perfectly fine if you ask me.

At last, some of my students said their goodbyes to each other, and to me with a wide smile on their faces, thanking me for another interesting class while walking out, which makes me ofcourse smile right away.

It brings me joy to see this group of children happy, knowing I did a good job today by teaching them something important, and ofcourse I'll keep doing this because I will probably never get bored from it.

While I walked out of the school, my eyes immediately scanned the main plaza of this village, knowing this is the place I last saw him today, and knowing the mind controller wanted to see me after school.

But yet, there's not a single sign of Druig to be seen, which made me sigh and walk back towards my home instead. I don't know why it frustrates me so much, but maybe I thought he was really waiting for me at the spot where I last saw him today.

Anyhow, if I'm going to take a stroll in the woods, if that's ever going to happen still, it's better my bag is somewhere else so it doesn't get in my way. So maybe it's a good thing I'm heading home first.

During my walk home, I see everyone is already working their butts off with their daily tasks for today. I know it's not nice to say it like that, but I know everyone is really hard working to keep this village up and running, and I appreciate it very much.

Sometimes I even help the elderly ones when my class is over. It depends on the day ofcourse, and which hour of the day I need to be ready to teach my children. And as of today, it's not rainy, so I would most likely help them with their work, but it isn't always necessary.

While I feel like I'm lost in my thoughts again during my walk, I suddenly feel my feet not on the muddy ground anymore, as my heart lumped into my throat because of this sudden movement. It's not that anyone probably saw this, whatever it is, happening, because it feels like it happened so fast I can't respond to it quickly enough.
