The Lost Hermit

Chapter 8

X answered his door, the knocking getting irritating. "Hello?" He was surprised to see a family there.

They never really had guests in this part of the world. Well, unless they personally knew them. False's parents visited a few times a year, as well as Wels' and Jevin's, likewise with most of the other Hermits. Not all parents could make it.

That was why, when X saw a small gathering of people, he was confused.

You see, all the visits from parents made them well known among the other Hermits. X, being the admin, was surprised he hadn't seen these people before. They clearly had not visited before

"May I help you?"

"Yes. Yes, please, we wanted to ask if you've seen someone." A Male with black hair asked, the rain soaking it over his white eyes.

"Okay... what does he look like and I'll see what I can do."

"Well, last time we saw him, he had black hair, and his eyes were black with little specks of rainbow in them, and they mixed together to make this amazing mix of colours." A boy, smaller than the last male, spoke up, looking like a clone, but with blue eyes.

X froze. Mumbo's eyes were that amazing colour. "Okay, and what was his name...?"

"His name was Mumbo..."

X jumped. "Well, his name is Oli. Mumbo is just a silly nickname we gave him as a baby..." the same woman flushed slightly. "O-okay... do you know how old he'd be?"

"It's been 15 years... so around 20?"

"I-Uh..."

"S-Sorry... we should have known you wouldn't have seen him around." The tallest Male said.

"No, wait. I think I know who your talking about... come inside, it's raining, and get dry. I'll go fetch him." X stepped aside, and the family walked in.

"I'll be right back! Get comfortable!" X yelled over his shoulder, as he took off, looking for the moustached man.
