Chronicles of The AfterWorlds (NOT ONGOING)

Chapter VIII

-Mika's POV-

I had left Zero's room after he told me to talk to Apollo about what he had said.

-Flashback...-

"I deserve it" He says with a smile.

"What do you mean you deserve it??"

"I just do."

"Well would you explain why?"

"Ask Apollo."

"I'm not going to ask him about YOUR LIFE! You shouldn't tell others to expect news from other people." 

"I don't like the topic of my childhood Beriothien, I'd suggest you ask him. He'll even tell you about the Azaleus business."

"Fine."

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

"Hey Apollo." I say sitting down next to him. "I see you stole my book."

'Yeah, it's really good. Rue really didn't deserve to die, I wish it was Cato." He says shedding a dramatic tear.

"Anyways, what do you want Ris- I mean Mika." He asks me closing the book.

"Zero told me to ask you to tell me about his depressing backstory." I say putting my knees to my chest.

"Oh....uhm..." He rubs his head. "Well....I'll see how much I remember."

"Before you start, why is his name Azaleus?" 

"Because that's his name, not Zero. He was born Azaleus Ishmel." He says rolling his eyes. "I'm surprised an inquisitive girl like you didn't find that out." 

"Anyways...."

"He was an interesting boy. Very curious, a bit too much." 

"You see, he had a normal family. A mother, father and a twin brother."

"And his twin brother's name?"

Azeron.

"I think you can tell where he got Zero from now."

"..."

--

Except, he and his brother looked nothing alike. 

"Azeron had short brown hair and blue eyes. Azaleus however had white medium length hair and red eyes."

 "Red eyes? White hair?"

" Yes. Now listen child."

 "I'm 18!"

"He and his brother were nothing alike, with Azeron being the favorite, popular one, while Azaleus was labeled a "freak". This even happened within his family I can assume, but I'm not sure."

"His father was uh- a different kind of being than Azaleus' mother."

"Was he an elf??!"

"..."

"Because he didn't want Azaleus to be the same kind as him, he absolutely hated him. He would hit him and neglect him. Azaleus barely got love."

He only got it from his mother. She was a very sweet lady, though she was very sick. She gave him all of her attention. She never let her eyes off him...until she died.

--

"I can't tell you anything else, that's all I know." He says sighing. He walks away.

"Wait! What species is Azaleus?" I ask yelling to him.

"You're not going to like it when I tell you...." He says putting a hand over his mouth.

"Mika....."

"Azaleus is a Diminsher."
