The days kept passing with this new routine that Mikel had, in the mornings he would go to the coastal area of Arnicania to be able to get some object that he could give to the children of the orphanage, but no matter how much he searched or how hard he tried to find something on the beach, the only thing he got was only waste that he still thought was useless, He really wanted something good, of quality, something that did not stink and was not broken, he would not like to give something like that to the children, that would not be keeping his word, it could even annoy them and make them angry with him, Mikel was looking for something that he did not care how it smelled or if he had to put his hand in too much, just to find something of value was worth the sacrifice.
But time went on and on, his repertoire of tubes, gears, pieces that you could say do not work alone, broken wrists, more destroyed weapons, he even came across ammunition that for his young age had no value for him, but everything is broken, useless, nothing was worth, he would go to sit on the beach while watching a group of shadows come to dump more trash on the beach, maybe he would have some luck with this new download, but Mikel's face said he was already tired to keep looking.
『This was useless, because they throw away things that are useless, it costs them to throw away a blanket in good condition, a music box, a doll and toy cars, even I didn't manage to see anything to read, there are no newspapers here nor books, I feel that having been here just wasted my time...』
Mikel watched as the tide carried away the waste while he no longer cared about picking something up, he would go on to take out his yoyo so he could distract himself while the time passes, he would again do his tricks for himself, he would move his hand back and forth and when he got something wrong it would laugh at his clumsiness, he would try the trick again where he would get the same move wrong, Mikel laughed again stressing that he is a fool for getting it wrong for the second time.
『2 mistakes anyone can have, 3 would already be a real idiot』.
He would try again where he became more serious and was even fixed his gaze on the yoyo, but when he wanted to do the trick again, just in the same movement he made a mistake, which made Mikel's gesture change to an irritated one, he would do it again but this time under the pressure that he must do it right, he tried but every time he had to do it, he got nervous and made a mistake again, you could see how he started to get even more angry, he didn't even do the previous steps anymore, He would try to get to the same position and try the movement again and again and again, but no matter how many times he did it, he simply made a mistake, until at one point he was overcome with anger and when he failed for the last time, he would take his yo-yo and try to throw it into the sea, He had it ready to throw it, but something stopped him, he didn't behave this way before, if he made a mistake he just had to keep trying as many times as it takes to make it, that's how he learned, that's how his friend Didiel taught him.
『Because I can't do it...besides I can't throw it away, it's a toy in good condition and it helps me to make the children smile, but the other toy I have...』
Mikel would take out of his other pocket his spinning top that was half destroyed, it was useless, it didn't spin and its embedded nail was half way through, even sticking out for some reason, this is a useless object, no matter how many times he threw it to the ground, it would never spin, If he had to throw one of his toys into the sea, without a doubt the one that would take first place would be the spinning top, but no, not even with that thought that the yo-yo is worth more and the spinning top less, Mikel did not lift the spinning top from his hand, whenever he took it out he held it tightly, even tighter than his favorite toy, the yo-yo. Mikel remembered that to play with the spinning top you have to have a string to make it spin, he searched among his objects that he could collect, finding a pita, quickly it came to his mind to roll up the spinning top and make it spin, maybe even half destroyed it could spin, but when he wanted to roll it up, he ran into the obvious, of course, he was missing half of it, he could not roll it up, but his desire to relive those times did not stop him, if half of it was missing, then he should just find it, looking again among the objects he collected, he did not find something that fit perfectly, that would be too much, but he took a short piece of wood and tried to join it with the spinning top and saw that in size they were similar, He quickly took it out with the help of his objects and by searching so much he had found several nails, he measured them to see which one could be useful, it was something strange, it was the first time that this happened, before all these objects were useless to him, but because he wanted to use his spinning top again, it was like now what was useless before, he could use them, he could see the way in which he could join them with another one and turn it into a usable object, Mikel smiled at this, he was having fun just trying to assemble the spinning top in his own way, he laughed at how he had something else to do.
『This is a lot of fun, if one is this with the other, I can tie it together, the nail...!!! I got it, this is definitely something entertaining』.
He could see the process and he couldn't believe it either, he had built or repaired a spinning top in the ugliest and shabbiest way possible, the nail was between the spinning top and a piece of wood and the whole thing was rolled up by a pita, it looked ugly and it was obvious that it wouldn't work, but this made Mikel happy, excited he went back to look for another pita and rolled it as usual to the top, he was excited he had finished and looked at his top in his hand, his cheeks were red and ready to spin it, and with a big cheer, he threw it to the ground.
『Come on! Spin!』
But he was also overcome with emotion, he threw the spinning top into the sand that it could not spin, it just sank into the sand without spinning a single turn, Mikel was silent again, and from what he was happy about a few seconds ago, again his face was marked with an annoyance that he had no way of repressing, He silently picked up his spinning top and put it away, went back to sitting on the sand and took out his yoyo, went back to doing different tricks, what he was doing was trying to forget that he was trying to make something work that was obviously broken.
『Ah...I failed again...』
This discouraged was returning to the orphanage, he walked slowly through the streets, his gaze was low because he did not understand why he can no longer do the trick with the yo-yo, making that movement now was difficult, he remembered days ago and everything was normal, he thinks and thinks but he can not get to that moment when he stopped doing it, before he could do it but why? But he was also a little sad to go back home, to go back and again he did not bring what he promised, to see the children again and tell them that today there was no luck, it was something that hurt Mikel, what are they thinking about him right now, that he is a liar? that he is a charlatan? he only said it so that they would like him? Mikel was thinking about the negative he didn't want to, again he looked up as he heard something, where I walk there are always homes with children in them browsing the streets, they would open their windows to watch Mikel walk around, but when he noticed them, they would quickly close and not answer anything.
『Why are they hiding, don't they like me...』
He was walking kicking a stone he came across, again although this far away, he could hear how the young men were working on building Arnicania homes, it didn't catch his attention, Mikel has his own problems, but every time he took a step this one was puzzled, he didn't want to go back, so.
『What if I try going to the forest? Maybe I'll find herbs and honey, Vie needs herbs to make her medicines, it's just a matter of plucking and that's all, yeah, it's something very easy, I'll do it!』
Mikel cheered up when he found something he can do, but at his shout of encouragement, it's like someone who was looking for him had appeared to torment him again, a block behind him, the little shadow that always bothered him had appeared, but it wasn't just him this time, he had brought his 2 friends back, Mikel's face when he heard it was scared as well as a feeling of annoyance.
『So here you were, I went to the beach to look for you but I didn't find you, are you tired of looking through the trash burrito? although I should thank you for retiring, fighting in that place is where you deserve, but breathing that stench just makes me sick, since you're coming home, give me Vie at once』.
『Hey, don't you get tired of repeating the same thing over and over again? you know the answer I'm going to say』
『Encima you dare to answer me, for your silly brain here goes, repeating the same thing is a form of psychology, if I insist one day you will get tired and as long as I stop you will give me what I want or do what I want, it's something simple, but not us, not me, I won't stop even if you ask for forgiveness or beg for your life, I will keep hitting you and insisting, I will humiliate you as many times as I can, I will repeat as many times as I can so that you collapse and consider yourself nothing, because that's what you are, you are nothing, you are not even allowed to walk in my domain, that's unacceptable, you must disappear from here』.
The little shadow kept on attacking Mikel with harsh words that he was starting to get annoyed of hearing the same thing, to keep on hearing that he is nothing and that he should better disappear from this world, if it was like the first time he would start crying and feeling weak, but no, this time because of the anger that was filling him, he was staring at the little shadow with hatred. Again the little shadow repeated that I gave Vie to him, but Mikel just inhaled hard and slowly approached until he was next to the little shadow, the little shadows were so much bigger than Mikel that they easily thought he was intimidated at last and will do what they tell him to do.
『You got it, even a little donkey like you has some brains, fine, lead me to Vie, and I want you to do it on all fours like the good little dog you are』.
The little shadow had spoken but Mikel still did not answer or pay attention to anything, this annoyed the little shadow that for not paying attention to him the first time, as he would try to hit him to make him come to his senses, he was about to raise his fist, but quickly Mikel was faster and this time the little boy was the one who gave a punch in the stomach to the little shadow, Mikel felt powerful, it's the first time he hit someone he hates, it felt good, he wanted to do it again, but before he gave his second punch, quickly with a higher speed, Mikel had received a strong punch in the face, falling to the ground.
『If you're going to hit, do it hard, what was that before? You're certainly a donkey for not realizing what you're up against, but since you decided to reveal yourself to me, let me show you what I've been learning』.
Mikel was touching his nose and blood was coming out of it, he couldn't stand the pain, but quickly the little shadow had appeared and was giving him different blows all over his body, he looked like a punching bag, both kicks and blows Mikel was receiving, there was nothing the little boy could do, only receive and endure the pain, I didn't understand how, if before he gave a blow with all his strength, he should have knocked out the little shadow, but no, it was the opposite, the one who was about to fall to the ground was Mikel.
『You will learn with pain that the strongest is the one who rules, the one who rules, the lucky one and the one who has the right to live. Instead the trash like you only deserve our blows, our waste, they live only for our benefit, they are our cattle! you are nothing but at the same time you are my burrito!!!』
Mikel was on the floor, he wanted to cry, rather he was crying as much as possible, he was full of snot and tears, his blood was staining him, while the little shadows were happy about this, but more his abuser, who wanted to continue enjoying his strength against someone who can't do it anymore, Mikel would try to get up, his hatred was much stronger, this surprised the little shadow and resumed his fighting pose, while Mikel was already completely standing up, his eye was shaking, but annoyed at the same time, he clenched his fist while commenting.
『I...I'm not nothing or your little donkey, I'm someone important....』
These words annoyed the little shadow who was waiting for Mikel to come to attack to counterattack him, Mikel all this time saw him as a normal person, just as a kid bigger than him, with a golden cradle suit, he always saw these people like that, the shadows saw them as normal people, that was his view, it stayed that way until today, there was no fear, there was no fright, he was not intimidated, he could still fight, Mikel would throw himself against the little shadow who this one smiled with all his might because of the enjoyment he would enjoy hitting Mikel.
『Come! I'm going to destroy everything you have!!! your dreams and your future!!! I'm going to destroy what you are!!!』
The little shadow was full of energy and hatred, Mikel was angry but when he heard those words, it was like he felt a shiver run through his body, quickly it was like something was transmitted in his person, he saw how his world became dark for an instant, it became gray, and then it quickly returned to its usual color, but on his angry face, He was no longer in front of a child bigger than him, but now it was as if he had become a monster, he saw a shadow with a smile that horrified him, he quickly felt the same as all the children and inhabitants of here, why they were so afraid of these people that he used to speak normally. Mikel felt the real terror at that moment, he quickly stopped his attack and as if he were a small animal escaping from its predator, Mikel used his strength to run and get as far away as possible from these monsters, who were chasing them without paying attention to anything else, his heart was pounding, his skin was cold, he felt his body hair standing on end, he did not even want to look back, but although he was badly wounded the shadows could not reach him.
『(His adrenaline must have kicked in, but that's momentary, at some point he'll get tired and we'll catch up, wait a little longer burrito) Stop running!!!!. You just make us want to hit you even more!!! I'll tell you again!!! Hand Vie over to me!!!』
The little shadow knew something else, for sure Mikel will be running to where he lives, and if you guide him to where he lives, for sure there Vie is there too, when you know his whereabouts,then it will be easier to torment him, Mikel out of fear only thought of one thing, of his home, of his father and mother who will help him when he has a nightmare, it was always like that, he would run and detour through the different streets to take a shorter route, at home he will be safe, at home he will be fine, at home everything will be solved.
『(Mom!!!! Dad!!!! I'm scared!!!! Help me!!!!! Monsters do exist....)』
They were making a big fuss that the children were looking out of the windows out of the corner of their eyes, Mikel was running to get home faster, but when they turned into a street, the little shadows hurried, but when they turned around they were puzzled, Mikel was nowhere to be found, this puzzled the 3 little shadows, there was no explanation, They began to search the place, look in the alleys, maybe there is a hole, a box, some object where he is hiding, but nothing, there was nowhere to be found, he was upset because his donkey escaped, but then he quickly noticed that they were watching them, they were the children so he quickly had the answer, he would shout for everyone to hear him.
『IF YOU ARE HIDING MY DONKEY! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY DEARLY!!! GET HIM OUT OF WHERE YOU'RE KEEPING HIM!!!!! OR I'LL TELL MY FATHER TO PUNISH ALL OF YOU!!!!』
He began to shout all over the street in an annoying way, the children who were watching this quickly their gaze was fixed on another being, an elite shadow had appeared who approached because of the shadows shouting to see what was going on, when he arrived he said to be quiet, quickly the shadow told him to give the order and also shout that they release his donkey, if not his father will make them all pay, but the Elite shadow had other matters.
『His mother is calling him, she says to throw out the garbage again and clean the house, that today again Margarette appeared and made a mess inside the home』
『What? Let her wait, and why do I have to clean up after my mother? That's unfair!!! Give the order and bring me my burrito!!!』
『He's disobeying his mother? if he told her that, he would surely get a good scolding, with that attitude, neither his mother nor his father would ever take him into account』.
『!!!!!!Oye your ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡』
The elite shadow was smiling and without any fear in his words nor the little shadow, the latter did not know what to do, because it is true that his parents do not pay attention to him, annoyed by this he had no choice but to return home to meet the expectations of his parents, who for the time being take him as someone who is their property to order and maintain, still the eyes of many people in the households watched the situation and seeing them withdraw were relieved by this, especially the old man who was the one who brought Mikel home at the last minute.
『The little shadows are the worst, especially the son of the shadow colonel, that child has no scruples, your child as I see you....ah....ya I was afraid it would happen someday...』
His words from that very day came true, when he saw Mikel he was not on a couch, not on a chair, not on the floor nor on the carpet, Mikel was in a corner shaking with fear and crying silently, the old man knew it, Mikel knew what it is like to live for them in this place, he knew for the first time and saw how these people really are, from this moment for sure they will not see him the same as the smiling people. The old man would treat his few wounds with what he had, but every time he touched a sensitive area, Mikel did not avoid rolling in pain, while the other children of the home, watched from afar the child from the outside who can finally say that he became like them, a child in fear.
『It's the little I can do, we already finished the medicine that Malin taught us to make, we lack herbs and other things』-『Your boy, I think your name is Mikel, why do you go out on a daily basis to expose yourself to danger? the first time I understand that you did it for your friend, but now I don't see the point』.
『Thank you sir, it doesn't hurt so much anymore, I go out.... although I don't know if I'll go out again after seeing how they really are, I told my family at the orphanage to tell me what things they want, that I was going to bring them to them, that's why I go out every day, I go to the beach where the garbage is to find something to give them, but I only find useless things like gears, nails, broken wrists, tubes of different sizes, devices that are complicated to me and I don't pay attention to them』
Mikel commented on his situation where the old man understood why he was doing it, he looked sadly at how the child was left and he really thought that these shadows do not have a shred of sensitivity in mistreating either small children or advanced people of his age. He would go on to look at the children he has and managed to see their clothes and the things they had, Malin's help helped, but this would not doubt forever, he is always thinking about his future and how they will take care of themselves without him, it is a worry he can't imagine not having even in his dreams, the old man saw a bulge in Mikel's pockets he would pull them out to see what they were, the boy was so weak he could not react to this, just have his sight and move his arm slightly.
『This is a yoyo and the other...a spinning top?』
He saw the composition of these, the yoyo was in perfect condition, but the spinning top was undoubtedly useless, it was broken, but he quickly realized that Mikel must have tried to fix it with what he found, it's true, he said a while ago that he found several things, He must not have them on him now, the old man was maneuvering the spinning top, he was rolling it with the pita, at that Mikel would look at the old man and as if he was a light, the old man threw the spinning top to the ground and as if for a few seconds the spinning top managed to spin and then lay down on the ground.
『I knew it, this object -----』
『It works...the spinning top just spun....sirve....sirve what I did.....』
Mikel would go on to cry releasing tears, this the old man is like he took the words out of his mouth, as he was going to say the same thing, somehow the spinning top spun, it can still serve if modified and repaired in some way, Mikel was crying because if it worked what he did, at that the old man would kneel down to be at his height and tell him.
『If you bring me the things you find, it can be anything, gears, nails, shoes, paper, tubes, dolls, those devices that you do not understand, I will give them shape, I will see in some way, I will dismantle them, I will see a use for them, I will join them with the tools I have, in my life I was someone who made a living repairing objects in Arnicania, I would be very happy to return to my trade 』.
The old man was suggesting him to team up with him, Mikel to this still badly hurt, seeing the group of children who were watching on the sly, the first thing that came to his mind is that if they had things to spare, it may sound silly to say this and even insensitive, everything here will do, but I comment, where the old man commented that they have cloth to spare. So.
『Could you give me some? I will bring you the things you tell me and find and you will give me the cloth for my family...』
『I'll give you whatever the children want, together let's make the children happy』.
Hearing the old man's answer, Mikel smiled with joy while there was still a trace of tears in his eyes, this union they made would benefit the children a lot and the desires they have. Mikel was in that home until he could walk on his own, the old man would take him to his orphanage, but he is really so afraid of shadows that he does not want to run into one of them, at the time of saying goodbye Mikel was outside on the street, while the old man and the children inside his house.
『Thank you very much, tomorrow I will bring you everything I find, really thank you very much...I...I am really very happy....』
『Yes, I will be waiting for you Mikel』-『(A boy who came from abroad who knew the fear here, and with the desire to make the children's wish come true, is the only thing that motivates him, you are the only one in this city capable of doing something like this Mikel)』.
When Mikel arrived home, as always since it became a habit, Vie was waiting for him at the entrance, where Mikel the first thing he did is to greet her and say that he has arrived, but as if not even a second had passed, Mikel would cry again and go to hug Vie, who this little girl already had a sermon prepared to scold him for going out again, but seeing how Mikel was clinging to her and even pulling on her clothes, sinking his face into her chest, saying and repeating that he was very afraid, Vie could understand what his friend went through.
『Vie...Vie....I'm afraid....I was very afraid....outside is a dangerous place.....there are monsters that hurt you....yo me....』
『It's over now Mikel, you're home now, that fear you say, just don't forget it』
『Still I...I promise that someday I'll fulfill every child's dream, I swear...』
Mikel was crying but he drew strength still, hearing this for Vie was emotional for her, it made him very manly of him to continue to afrot the danger despite already knowing what everyone here experienced their first time. He would treat his wounds he had with the remedies he has, and despite Mikel was complaining, Vie like any good mother who cares about her son, would just tell him to hang in there otherwise he would never heal, she would even set an example for him.
『But how you wallow, Fari without complaining would be doing it』.
『Yes, Fari is someone very strong *smiles* 』.
At that moment Fari had arrived at the orphanage, this was changed and much more tolerant as well as warmer, the 2 friends commented that they should not tell Fari about this so that he does not worry, that it will be a secret of the 2 of them alone, although they will also surely have to talk to the other children, but while talking, Vie saw this differently, Mikel's case is more extreme that it would be best to talk, but Mikel commented that no, that Fari should not find out about this, that he is also able to help the family. They went down to the second floor who Fari commented with the children that today the shadows were upset that he is doing a good job, like this was his new way of telling them that this is his pride, as he went down he saw Vie and Mikel, who the latter changed his clothes so that he would not see her with blood.
『I was just talking about the shadows, I found another method to annoy them, you have to put a lot of effort into what you do, what they enjoy is lowering our morale and sinking us into a pit that they don't think we'll get out of, but there are always other ways, and what better way than the way they never saw it coming *smiles*』
『Strive hard...yes! I tried hard too Fari!』
『That's the attitude Mikel, you are already going to prepare lunch Vie? since I'm early I'll help you』.
Fari and Vie were going to the kitchen to make lunch, while Mikel listening to his friend that he should keep trying harder, this gave him much more energy, the children appeared and asked Mikel to do tricks with the yo-yo, with a smile Mikel did it in the living room, within minutes the children were happy about this and congratulated Mikel, in that without him noticing, Mikel found out that he did the trick without making a mistake once, before it was very complicated for him and too much, is it because he does it for the children? Is it because he tries harder or because he feels more at home? Whatever it is, Mikel was having a good time, and at lunch time, again he really liked the food that his friends prepared, this made Fari happy, but someone else was missing at the table, the one who was missing now was the old lady Margarette who has not returned since she left, this made Fari a little sad especially since he knew her from long ago and she was always energetic, always by her son's side.
『Margarette...when she comes back I'll talk to her again, she should stop doing that』.
After finishing the meal, motivated that he would be helped by the old man, Mikel was about to leave to get the things he collected on the beach, but before he went out the door, he felt a grip on his hand that would stop him, it was Vie who appeared to stop his friend.
『Where are you planning to go?』
『I need to go to the beach, I need to give it to the old man to ....? It's a secret *smiles*』
『That sounds very suspicious, I won't let you go with those wounds, first rest and then you can go wherever you want, but be careful Mikel』.
『Can I have your permission? Thank you! Now I won't have to sneak away』.
Vie pulled him back to the house by the hand, in that in the middle of the grip, Vie noticed something in Mikel, something had changed, his friend always had soft and fine hands, but now he feels them a little harder and rougher, in that he was going to take him to learn more about the fauna, in that they heard that in a room on the second floor as Fari was talking to the old lady Margarette, apparently he had already returned but he stayed in his room without going to lunch. The children didn't want to eavesdrop or anything, but when they heard the conversation they didn't avoid the gossip.
『You stop what you're doing Margarette, you're only hurting yourself, I don't like to see you again with that fake expression』.
『You'd better say mask Fari, but I can still keep fighting, I don't want you to be the only one who contributes to this home, this is my orphanage since long before you were born, many children lived here, who are now....my duty is to take care of the next generation until they are ready, I want my effort to help them see a new world』.
『New World....but that's not the only way, to take care of the children you don't have to keep receiving such mistreatment, there are other ways Margarette, please, you're not cut out for this anymore, just staying here and spending time with them is enough, you can teach them many more things, you can tell them your stories, for sure that will make them happy』
『My life has nothing interesting about it Fari, what I do is make the lives of others in my care interesting and make them excel, if they should hear a story it would be from those who graduated from here, hear a success story, hear a story...I want to.... I want to hear my son's story...』
『Rachel...he told me that I got to know him when he was just a newborn, he must be all grown up by now』.
『Rachel.... son.... hope you are well....』
Margarette was crying covering her eyes with a cloth, she didn't want Fari to see her at her weakest moment, Vie and Mikel were listening together, neither of the 2 got to meet Rachel, but from what they heard from their parents and other friends, he was a boy who went out of his way for his mother, that he supported his country and his people, that is why when he heard about the war, he and many other young people enlisted to go to the capital and participate in it, now with the time that passed, the most feasible thing to think is that he ended up losing his life like many others who did. Mikel felt bad about this, he had already seen the facets that the old woman hid, but now that he knew the name of Margarette's son, maybe there was something he could do.
The days were passing and as he was told, he finally recovered and was able to leave the orphanage and luckily thanks to the objects he collected, he was able to find them, before he saw them as useless and useless objects, but with your own hands and ingenuity, you can give them shape, a second life and make the children happy, He looked at his spinning top that he rebuilt and was happy, he began to collect among the garbage with more energy, also on the beach he found shells, shells, he was no longer with so many animals product of pollution, he was curious to meet more rare beings as was the Portuguese caravan. But in the same way he had to hurry, the little shadow knows that here stops and at any moment it will arrive, the only bad thing was the following, the how to transport everything he has at once, use his pockets do not fit much, use his clothes also do not fit too many things, he needed a bag or some fabric, but the fabrics that were here were broken or with a big hole, then....
『There are always other ways, I got it』.
I place the cloth spread out with the hole in the sand, so quickly this placed the things not big, if not small and long, like tubes, gears, dolls, parts that was found of mechanics, at the end having everything there, rolled the cloth on itself, so no matter if there is a hole in the center, by the rolling this itself will be covered and easy to transport, when finished Mikel had a rolled up where most of small things were, he was happy for his ingenuity. While for the big things like the gadgets he found and other parts, that is if there was nothing else, he could use one of those gadgets that were hollow inside on the sides, he would put other things in there, but since it was not covered they would come out easily, he would think of something but .... He quickly saw his cloth and realized something, he could use the cloth to roll up or cover the broken packing, but still....
『I'd be all out of it...but if only I had a bigger cloth that doesn't have a hole in it...the old man!』
He remembered that he has an agreement with him that he will give him cloth in good condition, with that cloth he can serve his plan and bring other things with him, quickly with happiness he took the roll and left the beach in a hurry, always being careful that he runs into the shadow, seeing how he now walked through the streets with fear and caution, where before he was free, was what he was most afraid of, but again for not seeing well where to go, he ended up bumping into a shadow.
『I ran into a little rat, your attack didn't work against me 』.
『Excuse me, I didn't see properly and ....』
『You're the boy they said to let free, and I wanted to have some fun, huh? what's wrong? you're usually always smiling and in a good mood, do I have something on my face or what?』
Mikel saw it for the second time how these people are, they are no longer simple people who are always smiling, now he saw them as monsters covered with a shadow that is even confused with the darkness, Mikel was afraid, he was very close to one, he wanted to run and escape, the shadow kept insisting that something is wrong with him, but in that Mikel could not stand it anymore and ran away from the place with his roll in hand.
『(How scary how scary how scary how scary, those monsters are scary...I see that I see everyone like that except the old people and the children...and I really wasn't afraid of them...I'm even surprised myself....)』
At that he managed to hear that someone was coming walking down the street where he was going to pass, quickly Mikel hid and when he looked out of the corner of his eye, he realized that it was the little shadow that was looking for him, he was accompanied by his 2 friends and they were looking at everyone.
『Hey, are we going to do this every day? It's getting boring』
『Exactly, the only one who likes to do this is him, besides how can you enjoy someone who doesn't even know how to fight?』
『You guys fall down and just listen to me, I already told you that if you come with me I'll give you some of my toys, don't complain anymore』.
『You've been telling us the same thing for days, if you don't keep your word this time we won't go with you anymore 』.
The little shadows were searching the streets in every corner, Mikel was getting scared because even though he is afraid, he still hates just looking at him, before he wasn't smart, on the beach he had a hand held, he could defend himself with that and hit him, right now he has a roll that for the things he has for sure is just as hard, he can throw himself at him and hit him until he can, Mikel was afraid but he wanted to do it, no, he was going to do it, Mikel was going to show himself but at that moment.
『I heard something over there』
『So there you are, you won't get away burrito!!!』
They were going down another street to the place where they heard, this Mikel was confused as he wasn't around, he had his roll in hand but there was no one to hit anymore. In the end what the shadows heard was the construction that the young people of Arnicania were doing, they saw themselves with a blockade but anyway they wanted to pass, but in that that a shadow that was watching, told them no, that they better return to their homes and that this is not a child's thing.
『But it is children who are building the houses!!!』
『Well I'm sure that if you face one of them, you would end up losing, go back home, stop giving your father more problems』.
Upset at being kicked out of his domain, the little shadow was more than irritated and left the place along with his two friends. While Mikel was able to arrive safely at the old man's home, and was able to show on the floor and unroll the cloth where he brought everything. The old man was happy, there were lots of things everywhere, he took the gears, saw the tubes, shells and mechanics parts that fascinated him, he also saw dolls, action figures, nails among variety of things.
『If we put these pieces together with the ones I have saved, we can repair many things *laughs* this is incredible, I didn't think it would happen again, and it's all thanks to you Mikel, really, thank you very much *smiles*』
Seeing the old man's happiness, seeing how the old man whenever he saw him was either rooted or was irritated, now for the first time he saw him happy, this was enough for the little boy, seeing the other people happy for what he does, his effort was paying off, but at that quickly the old man was making call for the children to bring the cloth.
『In a few days I will have many things ready, but I would like you to bring me more and more things, everything you find』.
The children had returned and brought him a blanket, cloth, sheet for Mikel, it was rolled up but it was bigger than the child, Mikel to this was happy because besides the reward that he likes very much, he received another one to make the children happy, happy for this, He took out his yoyo and started to do his tricks with the yoyo, the children who had already been shown, saw how Mikel did these tricks without making a single mistake, they were very impressed by how he did it, and at the end they thanked him and how good he was, they even asked him to do it again.
『Another one! another one! another one! another one! another one!』
Mikel was very happy, he was so much fun that he didn't calculate the time and it was about to get late, Mikel had to hurry back home, but as it was obvious, Vie was waiting for him at the door, she was extremely angry.
『And now you're coming back late! But what's wrong with you kid! You say it in one ear and it comes out in the other!』
『*laughs* Relax Vie, this time I've come to fulfill a wish *smiles*』
Mikel was smiling, while Vie noticed that his friend had brought something else with him, after they all had dinner together, the children were going to their beds so they could sleep, all this time they have had to endure the cold of the season, but not tonight, this time they felt warmer for some reason, all the beds had extra cloth to make them warmer, so much so that no one woke up or was shivering, they all slept snug and warm. The only one who could tell was Fari.
『(Eh? it's a lot warmer than before, I don't feel so uncomfortable anymore)』
Fari pulled back the sheets for a while and realized that only one child was not sleeping that night, it was Mikel who saw how all the children were sleeping with a smile, others were snoring, others with a bubble in their noses, but all were happy, which made Mikel very happy where he would also proceed to sleep, Fari who saw this was smiling just the same, he didn't wonder how his friend did it, but he sure managed in a good way to get it.
