Aphmau the Hybrid

Chapter 5: Beneath the Smile

         Sky's POV

       I was laying in a bed in our makeshift cave. It was all I'm good for these days. It's been about a week since the battle and Jin has become more and more distant. No one knows why, and when we ask him he shuts us out. Sure, the dragon looked familiar, but it couldn't be one of us,

                                                  Right?

            Aphmau's POV

          It's been 7 days, 16 hours, 20 minutes, and 30 seconds since the battle. Raven is alive but seriously injured. I managed to make them think it was a wild wolf that did it to him. And as you can probably tell I'm a mess. I try and continue my duties with a decent smile on, but when I try it crumbles and I start to cry again. I have retired on doing round to check on my villagers and just work on buildings and structures away from captivity.

         Everyone is worried about me but it doesn't make it better. My childhood friends, my brother, the one I look up to, attack the innocent and for all they know killed a wyvern. A sentient life form. I am cursing myself for being so foolish. If I was with them and it happened chances where I would inflict that deadly blow. I would unthinkingly hurt those around me. And to make it all worse if I felt guilt afterwards I'm positive they would have said things like "He had it coming." And "He threw the first punch."

        If I would do that, what else have I done? What horrible deeds have I committed and not known what they were? I drop my hammer as salty tears start to flow down my cheeks. (Am I the only one who thought of 'Max was so salty if you dipped him in a lake it would turn into a ocean.'? :3) I sit down before I collapse and lean my back on a tree nearby and just cry. No one was around as far as I could tell, so I let it loose. I bawled like it was the end of the world, and for me, it might as well be.

          The only ones who care about me would throw me out without question if the found out who I am. That though crashes into me like a freight train. I'm edged into motion. It was the final straw. There was too make memories here and I needed release. I ran to my house and jumped to my room using the window. I threw cloths and a map inside my back pack as I wrote my note.

               Dear Phoenix Drop,

          You all have probably seen the difference in my personality. My reason is personal, but I will give you all the jest. I found out that my 4 closest friends Jin, Sky, Ross, and Barney thought it was ok to would hurt the innocent and have possibly been making my younger self think so as well. I resign my position as Lord to Garroth until Levin grows up enough for him to take his birthright. Please read to everyone in the village, yes, and the newcomers.

          Love you all,

                   Aphmau

                                          P.S. To my friends listening in, I was the purple dragon. Signed, the one and only, Jess.

       

             I set the note on the nightstand and jogged to my boys room. "Mom!" The both cried, the only word Levin knew at the moment. I pushed back my wave of emotion, this had to be done. "Boys I need you to know that I will ALWAYS love you no matter what anyone says, alright?" I kiss them both on the head, pausing to whisper to Malichi, "Take care of you baby brother for me." And retreated to my room.

             I looked around my purple room and smiled. I was going to miss this place. So much. I sniffed quietly and opened the window again. "Goodbye, Phoenix Drop." I whispered and jumped out the window and sprinted into the woods, heading to my old home.

                       Asguard.
