The tales of the lost prince

Part 7

What is this feeling ?

Eren wondered . He and Andrew had climbed up the stairs he had conjure and after a while , they finally they reach the end of the hole . Eren could see an almost blinding light coming from it . His innerself screamed that he should be careful that it may be a source of danger but it was cut off by Andrew who screamed excitedly.

“ it’s an exit !” said Andrew as he could see a glimpse of the light from from behind Eren. “ come on , Eren ! move faster “ said Andrew excitedly as he ushered Eren towards the exit

“ Hey , no pushing !” Eren protested which prove to be a futile attempt as Andrew didn’t seem to be listening to him.

--

Happiness filled Andrew as he saw the glimpse of light . He finally out of the dark hole . He felt he could suffocate if he were to stay any longer . With one final step , both him and Eren finally made it to the exit .

Andrew let out a relief breath . He finally can find his way back .

“ Finally no more darkness! now I can find my way back “ Andrew jumped excitedly “I don’t I will be able to stand it if ..” Andrew wasn’t able to finish his words when turned himself to face Eren .

Eren was staring into the skies as if he was mesmerized by the beauty. He notice a few drops of tears flowing down the other boy’s cheeks.

“ Eren ?”

Wh-at is this feeling?

Thought eren. All his life , he was enveloped and raised by darkness. He didn’t know anything else besides darkness and cold . For the first time , he felt something warm.

Where could this warmth come from ? above? he wondered

He looked up into the sky. He was speechless . He didn’t know exactly what was he looking at neither did he know the things that were floating around on the sky were clouds .

How could it be so… colorful? How could it be so .. beautiful? How could it be ..so warm ?

Tears starts to well up in his eyes. He didn’t know why but the warmth he felt , it was too comforting yet something was missing.

“ Eren?” he heard Andrew called out to him with a worry tone . “ Are you okay ?”

Eren quickly wipe away the tears he had . “ yeah… Im…just overwhelmed” said Eren

Andre looked up at the sky like Eren did , trying to understand why Eren was so overwhelmed by the sky . “ I don’t see anything overwhelming in the sky . Just clouds floating around”

“ sky .. so that’s what you call it” mumble Eren

“ you….is this the first time you ever left that hole?” asked Andrew as realization finally hit him

“I’ve been there as long as I can remember .I never find a reason for me to leave ….I…I didn’t know the world could be so .. fasinating” said Eren truthfully

Andrew was taken aback by the statement. Eventhough their surrounding were filled with dead trees and everything seems so lifeless , Eren seems to find it fascinating .

Andrew recall the moment he first meet eren inside the hole . Everything was dark . He could barely see. To be living there all his life , that’s just to cruel .

“ could you tell me one more thing Andrew?” asked Eren which causes Andrew to look at him .

“ The sky .. it has such nice ..colour . What do you call it ?” asked Eren

“ hmm .. well Its blue right now but it can change colour at different time”

“ I see..” Eren feign a smile . “ Blue .. I shall remember it” Eren added before walking towards a direction

“  hey ..wait ..don’t leave me !” said Andrew as he quickly follow behind Eren .

Eren glad he decided to leave the hole. If he knew the world outside would be this beautiful , he should have find a way out sooner .

Eren took another glance towards the sky . Perhaps blue has just become his favourite colour instead of black.
