The Darkness Is Fallowing

Chapter 4 Two Quest

Do you know what is wrong with Eden? signaled Tobaso, looking confused. "No, I don't" I responded. The whole time we were walking back to the hotel room, Eden appeared to be getting sicker and sicker.

When we got in, he rushed inside the bathroom and vomited once more, not caring about closing the door. Once he was done he shut the door and got into the shower. Tobaso was looking at the map on the wall, Alexia was on the chair thinking about...something... and I was staring at the ceiling, wondering what could we do with Eden being sick.

Later, a heard a knock at the bathroom door. A papers was slid through, I picked it up and it said, capitalized: FOR IZANAMI. I opened it, it was a note, a not too long one. I started to read it, and it said:

Hello, this is about my father. I felt a little awkward talking about it in front of Alexia and Tobaso, so I wrote it. We need to go on a different quest, find my father. I need to see him, we'll take a break for a while about The Mountain of Revival, lets find my father and brother, alright? Thanks

-Eden Matsu

I nodded, agreeing to this, but what really caught me off guard was the word 'brother.' Was he talking about Koroshi? A sibling he never told me about? I'd have to ask him.

Eden soon came out, looking at least a little better from before. "Eden, what did you mean by, 'brother' in the note?" I whispered to him. Eden starred at me for a while, not knowing how to respond, I didn't think he would respond quickly. "Nothing, mistake, Koroshi's like a brother to me, sorry" he said, I could tell he was lying, he visibly looked tense and uncomfortable. He had a brother, whether it be Koroshi or someone else, it didn't matter.

"Anyways, tell Tobaso and Alexia to get ready, we're going to find my father after this" he said, going to his bed to relax.

Eden, are you alright? signaled Tobaso, looking a bit concerned. "I'm fine j-just g-get ready" he said. We did, and signed out, and we started towards the forest we came out of, maybe Koroshi or his father would be there.

Once they were ready, they checked out and set back into the forest they came from.

The thing about the forest is to enter, you must present a sacrifice. Thats what Eden told me. "Than how did I end up here without a sacrifice?" I asked. Eden gave me a puzzled look, like he didn't know how to respond. "I don't know" he responded. I stared, confused. He's lived in the forest for years and yet he doesn't know the exceptions. But it didn't matter. We were gonna find Koroshi, or his father, or both. I hope.

Do we have a sacrifice? signaled Tobaso.
