Forgotten memories

Only ashes remain...

Eirix just watched when the house was burned down. Nayuta sits on the ground and leans back a tree. The angel boy felt guilt about what happened.

"I'm so sorry about what happened, I can't help you."

"You tried to help, but you can't" he let's a sigh and looks at the ground.

"What should we do now?"

"We need to find my bag in the forest. But first, let's go to sleep."

"Where?"

"Here, it's not too bad... Maybe just a little cold."

Eirix sits down next to him and leans back, too. He still shakes a bit and tightens the jacket around him.

"It's too cold"

"Oh- you really can't stand the cold. How's odd" Nayuta laughs softly, but when he sees his friend aren't joking, he stands up and picks a few sticks. "Okay... It makes the temperature a little warmer."

"How do you want to light it?"

"Did you forget? We have a lighter."

Eirix tries to make his place comfortable with leaves because in the casle, where he lives, it is not usually that just sleep in the ground.

Nayuta piled the sticks and lights it with the lighter.

"Stay around the fire but not too close."

"I know, I'm not stupid."

Eirix stays in front of the tree, and he is still sitting. Nayuta sits down next to him.

"Is it better?"

"Yea, a little."

The angel closes his eyes and tries to fall asleep. His head tilted on Nayuta's shoulder, and his wings rested too behind them. A few moments later, they both fall asleep.

The sun rose, and the two boys started to wake up. Nayuta wakes up first and looks to the ashes of the house.

"I'll miss you... Master Koen... It's my fault, I can't save you..."

Eirix wakes up, too. He was a little scared when he saw that Nayuta was sitting next to him, but he felt a little reassurance about that. His body is still covered with the white coat, and he feels the temperature warmer than the night.

"Everything is okay? You seem a little upset."

"Yeah... I'm fine. Let's go to find my bag, because I think there's a few dollars in it."

Eirix stands up and extends his hand to Nayuta. The boy accepts his hand and stands up, too. They walk inside the forest again.

"So, what are you? What was your life before you got here?"

"I was just an angel"

"But I think there is a reason why you are here..."

"My father is the king of heaven. I don't want to marry a princess. I don't want to be a prince, I just wanna live a normal life. I could only stay in my room all day. My father wouldn't let me out because my eye looked like that."

"So you are the prince."

"Yeah... and you? What was your life before we met?"

"I don't know so much about my life. My first memory I was just falling down to nothingness. I hit the ground and saw a lot of blood. I don't know what happened and why I was there. The next thing I remember is walking alone in a city and living my life, and then I met Koen."
