a silence broke down between the three of them.
Annie looked at the both of them " sooo... anyone please tell me what is happening"
both the boy and the head both look at the girl.
the boy breaths in and begin " once i was a human and just like you i was filled with anxiety. but when i met Tenebris i was saved, well i thought i was saved"
" but that day, that faithful day" water started flowing through his hands, forming shapes, in one looks like a small boy with a tall man with horns , they started moving as he continues " i was alone playing by the lake, this lake. then i saw Tenebris coming for me , behind him a demon so i had no choice but to save him. i ran between the two just as the demon curses. it turned me into this" the water fell down as the boy broke down.
Annie walked up to him with a pitiful face " so he left you?"
" the thing turned me into this and the he told me that he will be back with a cure... that was 50 years ago" he breaths in " he left me without even a tear !! and every day i have waited" he screamed.
" i told you i would find you a cure and i still am, please be patient" the boy looked up, filled with range " patient... Patient??! I HAVE BEEN PATIENT FOR more than 50 years, now its grief" he muttered.
Annie put her hands on boy's cheeks, rubbing away the tears.
" I am truly sorry for our loss but i promise you i will search for the answer even without the help of him" she pointed towards the pitiful skull, immediately looking away.
" i cannot feel your pain but i can imagine how horrible it must have been very very painful for you" she teared a little.
the boy grabbed her hands looking straight at her " dorcha " she looked surprised he continued " Steven Dorcha, my name" he smiled back.
" well why dont you come with us" she asked with a slight smile
" i really want to but i cant" he frowned " see i cannot leave a body of water for more than an hour, i tried but got burned" he showed his back filled with burnt scars.
Annie looked at the head " can you heal him"
" im afraid that is is a cursed scar, child, not even the most powerful being cannot cancel it out"
she thinks for a while and a snap of a finger she babbled out " wait didnt you say any body of water?"
" yeah" he replied.
" well here now you can be with us " she hands him a bottle " this is a never ending spring bottle, it automatically refills itself so you dont have to worry about loosing water" she chuckled
his face brightened up " th.. thank you" he cheered up hugging the bottle.
the three of them disappears into the green leaves as the moon rises up above the sky, covered with gleaming stars.
