Chapter 28: Scorpio's Temple

*Legit blood warning this time. Someone was stabbed owo who is it? Read to find out*

Carefully stepping out of the room, not wanting to wake the others up. Soul walked to where Toru was sharpening his spear with a stone, sitting next to him.

"Can't sleep?" Toru asked the girl beside him. The girl nodded her head as she turned to look at the green-haired man.

"How's your nose?" Soul asked, noticing that there was a bandage on his nose.

"Oh, yeah, I never thanked you for fixing up my nose. So, thank you for that and, uh, It feels better now." He answered. Soul let out a small your welcome as she sat there in silence, watching him sharpen his spear.

"Do you know the last people who used the stardust?" Soul questioned, finally breaking the silence.

Toru stopped as he placed the stone and his spear down, stretching a bit before leaning back using his arms as support. "Yeah, I knew them. I don't remember much about them, but I knew them. I was ten at the time when they came and took Scorpio's orb." He answered.

"Did they tell you what they wished for? What were their names? What did they look like?" Soul questioned again, bombarding the poor protector with questions.

"Woah! Hey, one at a time." Toru chuckled at the girl's curiosity, waving a hand. He then tilted his head upwards to look up the ceiling, a faraway look in his eyes. "Yeah, I knew them. Their names were Igneous and Wisteria asfejasa."

"What?" Soul confusedly asked, not understanding what the male said when he mentioned their surnames.

"What do you mean, what?" Toru asked back, raising a brow as he looked down at the girl.

"What were their surnames?"

"Asfejasa." Soul shot him a quizzical look, knitting her brows. The girl then noticed Eugene, who stepped out of the caravan, groggily rubbing his eyes. Calling out to him, Eugene slowly walked to where the two were talking.

"What is it, Star Gazer?" The ex-thief yawned.

"What were their surnames again, Toru?" Soul said, making the green-haired man repeat what he said. Turning to Eugene, she asked the same question.

"Asfejasa." Eugene answered in a bored tone.

"Are their surnames Asfejasa?" Soul questioned, and it was Toru this time, who looked at her with a confused expression.

"What? No, their surnames are asfejasa. Not Asfejasa." He answered.

"Asfejasa is what I keep hearing, not whatever you're saying." She admitted as she looked down on the ground.

"It must mean that Wisteria and Igneous wished for something that they don't want certain people to hear. But for that to happen, the people who wished for that must know you." Toru explained, looking at the confused girl. "The only way for you to know what I said is if the secret keeper tells you, themselves."

"So, even If I asked Clara and Samuel who those people were, they won't be able to tell me?"

"Yeah, that's pretty much it."

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going back to sleep." Eugene stated as he went back inside the caravan. Soul and Toru looked at the man, waving goodbye before turning back to their conversation.

"Does this mean you can't tell me what they wished for?" The lavender-haired girl sheepishly asked.

"Nope. Now, it's my turn to ask questions." He started, looking at Soul for approval, to which Soul just shrugged and nodded her head. "What was that before? You know, the forcefield? What's up with that?" He questioned, leaning his head on his hand.
