Chapter 3: Someone will be here
"You ganna die, you really ganna die. Seriously, you are not looking good aren't you"
Day to day, time is passing away, Ron finds out something is going wrong on Zoon.
As time goes, his weight is lower and lower, just feel like a demon living in his hurt sucked his vitality out of his body. No matter how much he has eaten( even there is actually not that much thing to eat), his body is kept shrinking.
"No, not yet. Death is not reached me yet, yet."
Said by Zoon, in slow and week kinda way.
He is still sitting on the chair as he usually does, looking straightly at the book. He has totally become different as before.
He is just like a skeleton which still alive and has the last level of skin on it.
Faint candlelight is flickering.
As what Ron saying:" you are just a skeleton who is dead but never go into hell, so stay in the living's side."
Their sound is not hiding, Lilith is just lying in his bed beside, and listening quietly. She is kind like doesn't want to make touch in any way to Zoon, who only use a few weeks to make himself like an "Undead".
"Your knife is not even able to cut a piece of wood, your ear can't even hear my heavy step, little one, you are on the edge of the life, one more step you ganna make me lost my job."
"Isn't good for you? Freedom... or you have to watch kids ...who always stay at room doing nothing...for a whole day... so you can't do anything."
Zoon's eye, which the left one is still beautiful, and lightly.
"walking around me every day... but if I die, you are free."
"Is better than go back to Underworld. But for a people who came back from Underworld like me, no one wants to hire. even we do have better knowledge or idea sometime...I don't have, but I am lucky, cause I was hired to becoming a teacher, then turn to watch you, kids who suppose to be dangerous."
"If you die, I will lose my job, and forced to go back to Underworld to feed my family. No one wants to back there, with dangerous and death together. Compare to freedom, I am better than the safety and easy life."
"Here is used to killing people, I don't want my daughter stay here, to be in this crazy place as you guys. so, I prefer to bring my family down to Underworld even. "
Underworld, which a world underground and has countless unknown civilizations have been buried there with fierce, strange, deadly creatures together.
Over there, The adventurers have been forced to keep survive under the claws of these creatures usually.
A crazy place.
For people who living under there, the daily life can simply describe as search for "relics" in a civilized grave...getting the reward of the task from others...trying to improve themselves to help them survive better...protect their families... or selling,producing,buying new stuff for prepare next round of searching.
As such, boring, busy and dangerous. Not sure where is better, underworld or "the last".
(Told by the teachers from week school of "The Last")
"Actually, em... is kinda like we ganna having war recently. Welp, you may don't need to worry about I guess? but just let you know."
"I won't die."
"Yes you will, it is just matter of time."
Ron just keeps talking.
"It is a tragedy that you were born to this world. Poor little guy."
He is stand up, walk really closely, hold him up and put him on the bed.
"You are just like living dead. Which weird creature that always occurs in layer 2. I had seen one before, no different as you."
"Living dead..."
"It is the time, I need to go."
Ron walking to the door.
"Hope you can see the light of the sun again. It will be sad if you don't."
The door is closed.
"Actually, you know what."
"You better lock the door, cause I know, there will be something happen tonight. If you want to see the light, seriously, just let your book go."
"I know, that's a relic isn't? I don't know what the function that book is, but definitely not some positive function. By the way, you are so week, you can't protect it. If you want to still alive, let it go."
"I just see too much of death, leave that book, I take you out of here, deal?"
"..."
"Alright then, see you tomorrow. If I can."
Footsteps is going away. The light Ron did extinguish before he goes, dark room with the sound of footsteps is like a little fearful.
"...What's the feeling...of... dying?"
After a long silence, surprisingly,the girl is talking to him, to zoon.
She is making many friends in this place to other children who lost their parents already, she has been a long time no talking to Zoon since she is used to living in here.
This is the first sentence that Zoon heard in this week.
"Nothing, I am not dying."
"..."
"do me a favor?"
"...huh?"
"Lock the door, and never open to anyone tonight please."
"Why?"
"Someone will try to come in tonight. But I don't want him or she comes in."
"who ganna be?"
"let's see."
Lily felt puzzled. But she went to the door and locked the door. Her look down at the hole for a key, ask him:
"don't you think the one who will come can have a key?"
"doesn't matter anymore."
Zoon holds his hand slowly, point toward the door, saying a word whisper slowly.
"I"
"What you just said?"
The girl is trying to listen to what he just said but he let his hand go and closed his mouth.
