Eidos's POV
After talking with Abel, I feel better. I understand what he meant. If I want Zanthos to understand me and stop treating me like a play thing, then I must show him I'm his equal so he'll stop and finally see how compatible we can be. It sounds easy..but will he listen? I'm not sure. As I walk back to the dorms, I bump into a tall fighter with long black hair and golden yellow eyes. I couldn't help but notice that one eye..was darker than the other in color. He looked at me. "Excuse me." He said. His voice was soft and didn't match him at all. "I'm looking for my navigator." He said quietly. I smile a little. "I'll be more than happy to help. What's their task name?" I ask. "Eídos." He told me. I stand there frozen. "That surely can't be right. He was already assigned to a partner." I say nervously. "His fighter is me, task name: Zanthos." He said. I feel like my stomach is turning like I'll be sick. If this is Zanthos, then who has been in my dorm with me these last few days?! "Your task name is Zanthos? If that's the case, show me your file." I say. Now that I think about it, the one who has been calling himself 'Zanthos' never showed me his file. He handed it to me. The information lined up, he was really Zanthos. Tears form in my eyes. I feel so..hurt and confused. Just what is happening?
