The tales of the lost prince

part 8

“ Where are we heading ?” asked Andrew

“ Im sending you back to your home” said Eren

“ Oh. Does that means you know the way back to the village?” asked Andrew

“ ….” Eren remained silence and stoped walking

“ Let me guess , you don’t know the way either don’t you?” asked Andrew accusingly while Eren continue to remain silence and cast his gaze downwards

“ I knew it …” sighed Andrew as he slumped himself down to the ground . “ We’ve been walking for hours and its going to be dark soon.” Andrew mumbled

Eren let out a sigh. This is the first time he ever gone out of the hole . How on earth can he help Andrew find his way back when he , himself wasn’t very familiar with the area ?

Eren looked up into the sky. He remembered Andrew told him hours back that the sky will change its colour depending on the time . Right now ,it is orange almost reddish . He could feel the warmness of the sun that was enveloping him before gradually disappearing . He could see a flock of birds flying towards the setting sun.

If only we could fly like them , things would be a lot more easier – thought Eren

Andrew look towards the flying birds then an idea hit him. “ That’s it !” exclaimed Andrew which took Eren by surprised

“ Eren ! You could use your ice power to create a huge bird so we could fly !” said Andrew excitedly

“ Is that even possible? ” frowned Eren

“ Well ..you never knew until you try .” said Andrew

“ …” Eren remained silent

Eren knew he could make a lot of things with his power but to build bird made of snow that is capable of flying , he has doubts in himself .

Andrew watched Eren as the boy was lost in his thought. It was then he realized something about the other boy . His light blonde hair and the way it was combed backwards , it look too familiar . Eren almost look like his aunt Elsa.

“ hm.. your hair is the same as Aunt Elsa” said Andrew

Eren give him a look which clearly say that the thing Andrew said means nothing to him.

“ It’s a good thing . I always think that Aunt Elsa is awesome” grinned Andrew

“ Andrew .. I failed to see how the similarities between my hair and your aunt hair has anything to do with how am I going to create a flying snow bird .” said Eren as he glared

“ Aunt Elsa can make a talking snowman.” said Andrew which causes Eren to widened his eyes in surprise

“ and his name is Olaf and he likes warm hugs !” giggled Andrew “ oh ! and Aunt Elsa also build another snowman named Marshmallow ! He’s huge and mom says that he is rude but I think he’s fluffy!”

Eren listened to Andrew as he excitedly told him how his Aunt Elsa use her power to build such amazing living snowman. Just by listening to him , he could tell that Andrew love her . He look at her as a family figure . Unlike Andrew’s Uncle Jack or Aunt Elsa who has a family to love , he is just a monster . Unwanted by his own family. Eren could feel a hint of jelousy rise within himself as he listen more to Andrew . No perhaps jelousy wasn’t the right word . He felt as if his heart was clench and it hurts . Perhaps it was a heartache ? 

“ Uncle Jack is awesome too ! He can make snow bunnies !” Andrew giggled

“ Why are you telling me all this ?” asked Eren as he gritted his teeth . “ What’s the point of telling me all this ?”
