So yeah, this is part no. 2! The awesome comments on part 1 really made me wanting to continue this. Thanks guys! I hope you'll enjoy the ongoing story as well. ;] Have fun! <3
Oh and yes: Do not wonder about what Monde says about deaths in fire. It's true; you need a really hot fire to also burn the bones, and a normal forest fire cannot do it. At least I've read it like that, lol.
And yes, Monde is growing to get weird abilities which are actually normal for her but... ah, enough previous babbling. Let's move to the story now!
Does it feel okay
Do you wanna make the same mistakes
Cause the world you live in
Keeps you silent?
A boy is coming. Not much older than me.
« Are you a fairy deer? You have a funny face. »
I ignore him. What a silly head.
« Do you live here? »
« Yes. What do you think? »
« That you live in the herd. »
I look at him. Brown eyes.
« You have beautiful green eyes. »
« … »
« Don’t you want to talk with me? »
« … »
« Are you afraid of me? »
« Absolutely not. You bore me. »
He comes again, brings me food, tells me stories about the world.
I learn. I learn about the world.
« What is your name? »
« Dia Monde. »
« Dia…mond? »
« Dia Monde, can’t you hear this properly? »
« But… Monde means ‘world’, doesn’t it? In another language. »
« Very clever. »
I am listening, listening to the animals around me, their stories. Listening to the stones, their stories.
« Don’t you want to know my name? »
I don’t listen to him. The stories are more interesting.
« My name is Toji. »
