Mil Solis

Chapter 2: Welcome to Eden

To Eques sleeping Mil looked beautiful. The midnight black hair not tangled from any part, just flowing on the bed was quite alluring, the slender figure reminded him of an innocent child full of hope. Caelum truly had created perfection. A perfection full of innocence, that could change the world." It's time for you to wake up Mil. " He spoke in a soft manner, not wanting to scare his new friend. " Mil~.. hey, buddy, it's already morning, everyone else is waiting for you. " Ruffling the dark silky hair, Eques then made his way to the heavy-looking curtains, opening them, as the room was then bathed in the warmth of the sun, the shadows forming from the soft pillow-like clouds dancing on the walls. Turning back to the bed where Mil was sleeping, Eques let out a soft chuckle, sitting on the nearby armchair, relaxing there. He had waited for this moment many years, so what a little bit more of waiting would really do? So as a patient old- ahem-.. Handsome gentleman he was, he could easily wait a few more moments. Maybe reading a book would make the time pass faster.

Slowly, as the sunshine started to reach his face, gently caressing his smooth porcelain skin, Mil started to wake up, rubbing his eyes, he then slowly sat up on the bed yawning loudly. " .... nhhaa--... " It took him time to get used to the bright light coming from the large window, but as time passed, he noticed there was a person sitting next to the window, reading a book in silence. He was astonished by the old man's handsome features, the sharp jawline, the unnaturally ice cold blue eyes and the long silver hair on a cascading carousel braid, almost reaching the ground. There were a few stripes of golden and pure white locks going down on his forehead. There was a warm smile on his lips, and as the man realized Mil was awake, he stood up and walked to the bed with quick steps. " it is good to see that you're finally awake Mil. " The man reached his hand out to Mil, which Mil gently took hold of, getting pulled out of the bed. " Don't worry my friend, i won't hurt you. " The man said, still smiling softly. Somehow Mil felt like he could trust this man.

There was a long time of explaining, as the man introduced himself as Eques, the lord of the mansion they were in, and the new father-figure of Mil. Listening carefully, Mil noted many things. Eques was infact old, but his appearance was far more young looking. The mansion they were in was a maze, always changing because the people staying in the mansion were endangered in many ways. And lastly, it was Mil's new job to navigate around this always changing mansion, delivering letters and all sorts of other stuff to the residents of the mansion. And after a long time of silence, Mil had one question in his mind. " will it be fun? " He asked, curiosity almost pouring out of him as he tilted his head slightly to the side, watching Eques as the man though of how to answer. " ... hmm... Well it really depends on you, if you want it to be fun, you can easily make it fun, but if you take it as a forced job pushed on you, it won't be fun... Isn't that right? " Mil's eyes sparkled as he nodded a few times, an innocent and kind smile curling on his lips. " Sounds good then! " He giggled softly. 

" For the first night i'll accompany you, if you want. " Eques offered, but Mil politely declined. " i need to get used to the place myself, and working alone would be the perfect way of getting used to this all. " The kind smile was still on Mil's face as he took the bag that had a few letters in it, standing up. " Well then, i'm off! " He then ran out of the bedroom, quickly stopping as he looked up, seeing another corridor there. " ... Eh? " Mil looked confused, as he then started to float up, gently landing to the corridor on the ceiling, now standing there. " .. oh! " He ran down the corridor, glancing up from time, noticing that there was so much stuff he could explore... So many new thing and places... But no no no! The job came first, then fun.

" Let's do this! "
