章 15: Chapter 14: New Glasses
Everything went on as normal after that night.
it was a great song
Carry on with my daily routine
I spent a lot more time with Marcy and Simon
But I started to repair and modify a mobile home, at the request of Simon, he wanted to take his books and research.
as a reminder of who he was
I always thought of looking for some anti-magic item, to cancel his transformation, but the magic that transforms him keeps him alive
If I take the magic away from him, he'll go back to normal, but he'll die soon after due to all the radiation his body must have inhaled.
Thus, the days followed their course and soon half a year passed.
We spent these 6 months very close together, we sang, we ate, we watched movies, etc.
We wanted to make every moment together as happy as possible, they were good times
But Simon can no longer control his powers, now he freezes almost everything he touches except me and Marcy.
It seems that this is the proof that he still has a minimum of control left
Simon no longer wanted to wait for him to completely lose control of his powers to leave, so we spoke again on the porch a week ago.
(flash back)
"I'm sorry son... but it seems that I can't wait anymore, I need to protect you and Marcy... I can feel my consciousness fading little by little"
"I'm afraid I won't be myself in a few months, I really want to stay...but I have no other choice"
"I...I'll be gone in a week, I'll talk to Marcy and then I'll be gone, but there are a couple of things you need to know."
"Do you remember my VHS tapes where I documented my research on the corona? I buried them in a safe place"
"You know as much as I do about the crown, but I can't tell you where they are, if that information falls into the wrong hands, it would be very dangerous"
"And lastly, do you remember our investigation on Marcy's father? I want you to summon him only if it's an emergency, it may not hurt Marcy, but you may be in danger"
"I know you'll be fine without me, son, that's my only consolation right now"
-end of flashback-
Right now I'm helping Simon pack his stuff in the trailer.
Marcy is sitting on the porch with a sad look on her face, Simon talked to her and told her about his departure.
Marcy was adamantly opposed to letting him go, she cried a lot and even wanted to destroy the trailer,
But now, there's nothing that can stop it
We finished loading everything in the motorhome
It seems that the time has come
Honestly...I really want to cry, but I can't break down in front of Marcy, one of us has to stay strong...it's hard
Simon looked at both of us, first he approached Marceline
"Listen to me Marcy, I know you don't want me to go.....I don't want to go either, but it's necessary"
"I know that one day we will see each other again and when that happens, I want to see a very happy and strong girl, understood?"
"...and please take care of Blanche, it may seem that nothing affects him, but you and I know that he is a baby inside haha"
Marcy's eyes were already full of tears, though Simon's last sentence brought a small smile from her.
"Haha... I know... that nerd is quite a baby"
"I... I'm really going to miss you Simon, when we meet again, I'll be very strong... I promise"
"I know you will be Marcy"
Simon kissed Marcy's forehead and then walked towards me.
"Listen....son...I...."
Simon's words get stuck in his mouth as his lip trembles.
"Son I...."
I didn't let him finish talking and I hugged him with all my strength, put my head on his shoulder and let my tears come out
"I... I'm going to miss you dad"
Simon with a warm smile and tears in his eyes hugged me back.
"Me too son...me too"
Marcy soon joined our embrace, we stayed together for a few more moments before parting, with Marcy still holding my hand.
We both watched Simon get into the trailer without looking back and then speed up to quickly disappear into the distance.
Watching Simon disappear into the distance, Marcy tightened her grip on my hand.
"Now...what do we do Blanchie?"
"I... I think we better go to sleep and tomorrow we'll talk about the future, what do you think?"
"I....I don't think I can sleep blanchie"
"Mmmmm, how about if I sing you a new lullaby?"
"Would you do that for me?"
"Anything for you princess"
Once inside the room, Marcy lay down on the bed with her head on my lap waiting for my song.
I gently caressed her hair and began to sing
(We'll Meet Again)
(De Peggi Lee)
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say "Hello"
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away
So will you please say "Hello"
To the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as you saw me go
I was singin' this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
(Later that night)
Marcy and I were lying on my bed
Now she's asleep next to me after I sang to her
Looking at her sleeping and peaceful face, I can't help but remember that girl crying in the middle of the road
she is a strong girl
Watching her sleep peacefully, I remembered the promise I made to Simon
That it would keep Marcy safe, but I don't think I'd be able to do that right now, a large group of oozers would have finished me off if it wasn't for Simon
I'm too weak now, I can't give her the peaceful childhood she deserves.
Even if we stay here in the cabin, it won't be long until unicorns and vampires appear along with many other dangerous creatures.
I could travel and take her with me everywhere, but that would only put her in more danger.
No child has to spend their childhood surviving
I can't do that...
I slowly got out of bed and headed towards Simon's room.
I slowly walked over to the closet in the room and opened its doors fully.
Inside were the Enchiridion, my enchanted dagger, my clothes, Simon's motorcycle key and... Simon's old blue glasses with a crack in one of the lenses.
If I want to protect her and let her have a quiet life
I will have to separate myself from her and put her in the safest place I know.
with her father
(Sunrise)
We can see a little girl of almost 10 years asleep in a room, there does not seem to be anyone accompanying her
The whole place was quiet and calm, it was an incredibly peaceful atmosphere...
CRACK!!
A man burst into the room through the wall with a double edged red axe.
The man had light blue skin, pointed ears, straight dark blue hair, a dark suit, and light yellow eyes.
He was Hunson Abadeer, ruler of the Nightosphere and father of Marceline
The girl woke up startled by the sound of a wall breaking apart and looked confused at her father that she had not seen since she was 3 years old.
"Hello Marcy!, how are you?, do you mind if I leave my ax here?, a great boy summoned me, do you want to go and take someone's soul out?!, wow, what a nice house you have!"
The sleepy and confused Marceline looked around her for Blanche around the room, but she found nothing.
This snapped her out of her drowsy state instantly, she looked at her father and asked in panic
"Dad! Where's Blanche!? Did you do something to him!?"
"Mmmmm, oh, you mean the white-haired cool boy who summoned me? He left on a motorcycle after giving me a letter for you, haha these humans are always so confusing."
"Letter? He left? What do you mean!?"
"Well Marcy dear, I was in my kingdom torturing some souls and suddenly I was summoned in a sandy place"
"It seems that the one who summoned me was a child, at first I thought of taking out his soul, but he told me about you and...Elise"
"Listen Marcy I didn't know that she wasn't with you anymore, otherwise I would have come looking for you a long time ago"
"That doesn't matter anymore! Where is Blanche!?"
"Oh yes, well the boy showed me Elise's grave and then told me where to find you"
"but before he left he gave me a letter for you"
"He told me to give it to you as soon as I saw you and then he left on a motorcycle"
"It was one of the most interesting encounters I've had in ages, plus he looked really cool with his blue glasses and all that cliche but interesting 'lone survivor' vibe haha"
"Well anyway, here's the letter, I'll go prepare something to eat, remind me of something, would you prefer your innocent tears, with or without ice?"
Marceline didn't answer him and closed the door in his face.
She quickly opened the letter
-beginning of the letter-
'Hello Marcy, I know you must be confused, I would be, but you must know that I am leaving without saying goodbye to you, because I don't think I have the strength to leave if I look into your eyes'
'I want you to know exactly why I'm leaving, the truth is...I have a mission to complete, and I couldn't forgive myself if bringing you with me would result in injury or worse...'
'I am not strong enough to protect you from all the dangers I will face out here, but Hunson is, from the moment we found you, I set out to give you a happy childhood and adolescence'
'A girl like you should never fear for her life, and I thought that if I couldn't give you a quiet life, then I would find someone who could.'
'I will summon Hunson tonight, go to the garage on Simon's motorcycle and open a portal right in front of Elise's grave, tell him where you are and everything that has happened, hopefully that will prevent him from taking my soul out'
'I want to make this very clear Marcy, very soon many dangers will come back to this world, dangers that I do not want you to face'
'I know we'll meet again soon, maybe sooner than you think, but I'll make sure I'm strong enough to protect you then'
'I'm not leaving because I don't love you Marcy.....I'm leaving because I love you too much to see you in danger, you are the only thing in this world with Simon that I love more than my own life, you are my princess Marcy
'PS: have some patience with Hunson, he may not show it soon or very often and even never show it, but he loves you and considers you the most precious thing in his life, he just doesn't know how to tell you, he's a devil after all
With love Blanche
(Blanche wrote the letter before leaving)
-end of letter-
The room was totally silent, the environment seemed dead and the atmosphere was cold.
Small tears slid down Marceline's cheeks and fell on the letter.
"Blanche....really...you're AN IDIOT!, WHEN I FIND YOU I'M GOING TO.."
-The image changed and suddenly we found ourselves on an abandoned road in the middle of a desert-
A blurry shadow traveled quickly across the road
It was a motorcycle with a classic design, it hardly made any sound
Riding on the motorcycle is a boy, maybe 11 years old
He seemed quite tall for his age, with white hair and snow pale skin.
He was wearing a red hoodie, black pants of an unknown material, and black boots.
You could not distinguish the color of his eyes, because he had round blue glasses with one of the cracked lenses covering them completely
That was our protagonist
"Looks like it's going to be a smooth ride, I hope Marcy doesn't get too mad.....who am I kidding?"
"She will cut my head off when we meet again haha"
A/N: ok, I really wanted to give Marcy and the MC a very sad and bitter goodbye, but after Simon I thought I needed to lighten the mood a bit.
Also, I see more sense for the mc not to want to say goodbye in person because he could end up staying and not start his mission, what mission do you wonder? Well I will say that in the next chapter.
But before I go, here is a summary of Blanche's current abilities.
I want to make it clear that he only trained his physique and close combat skills, as well as enchanting equipment during these two years.
I tried to make it clear where he got each skill from, but I'll answer the questions in the comments.
11-year-old Blanche's skills
