The city of Arskila

Memory 2

Some time had passed and the young black haired boy has grown up to a young man. Sitting on top of the roof with a cold bottle of beer in his hand.

While the students from the academy were celebrating and happy that they graduated. He looks down at the crowd with a sorrowful expression on his face.

As a young man with golden hair climbed up the ladder and says. "Nihilo, there You are. I was wondering where You were since You weren't at the ceremony..."

Nihilo looks at the golden haired man and says. "I didn't want to be at the ceremony since I am not welcome... like always..."

The golden haired man sits down next to him and says. "Of course You were, all graduates are welcome at the ceremony.

Or is it because of... Your parents?" Nihilo lets out a small sigh and says with a sad look in his eyes. "You got me there...

I was hoping that they would be there, but they weren't... But I guess they wouldn't show up to a bastard son like me..."

The golden haired man looks at him and says. "I know that they are... But that don't let that stop You, You are the smartest man and the top student out of everyone here.

That's something You have to be proud of..." Nihilo has a bitter look on his face as He tells him. "And that didn't get me anywhere... And everyone is still treating me like shit..."

He then took a drink of the beer as His friend says to him. "That isnt true, I don't treat You like shit..."

Nihilo has a small smile on his face. "That's true, and I am still grateful that You let me out of that closet when we were children..."

The golden haired man has a teasing tone in his voice as He told Nihilo. "I only let You out because I thought You were a cat that had gotten itself stuck in there."

Nihilo looks at him and decided to let out a little mewo to mess with him a little bit. Then both men began to laugh a little at that then they looked at the beautiful night sky.

They sat in silence before Nihilo says to his friend. "After my 19th birthday, I am leaving..."

The golden haired man looks at him with a puzzled look on his face and says. "Leaving? Leaving to where?"

Nihilo looks at him and says. "Leaving the city, this bloody shit hole that I was unfortunate to be born in. And I want You to come with me, If you are willing..."

The golden haired man looks at him and says. "What? Are You sure that You want to... And asking me to come along with You?"

Nihilo looks at him and says as He holds his hand. "Yes, I am sure... We can go someplace else entirely, be it the red seas of Morunla or the middle lands of Namnera.

We can go anywhere, anywhere where your dream can be fulfilled... So I am asking You, Acelyn Amberia will You come with me?"

Ace looks at him for a few minutes before saying with a small smile. "Yes, I will go with You... My dear friend..."

Nihilo has a smile on his face and gives him the rest of the beer in the bottle. Ace drank the rest of the contents of the bottle before He tossed it at the statue down below.

One of the party goes at the graduation celebration looks up at them and shouts. "OI! WHICH ONE OF YOU BASTARDS DID THAT?!"

Nihilo looks at him and shouts with a malicious smile on his face. "IT AINT US, PERHAPS IT WAS THE GHOST THAT HAUNTS THE BUILDING YOURE PARTING IN!"

The party goer was about to shout something back to him. When He began to wonder if the building is haunted which made Nihilo and Ace laugh.

They kept on laughing then stopped as they turned their gaze to the night sky.
