The rest of that night, I was alone in my quarters. I wanted to reach out to Kael and Zeref but, maybe they needed more time.
I turned my system chat on and off...
Writing a message, then erasing it. Writing again, then erasing it again.
"Kael, Zeref. Where are you two? Why do I feel like I won't be seeing you both again."
I stopped whatever I was doing and curled onto my bed. I clutched my pillow tightly, hugging it.
Something inside me didn't feel quite right. Like I might regret not following them.
So I left my bed and teleported to the slime fields where we usually hung out together.
The night sky was unusually solemn. The breeze was colder than usual. And I looked around, hoping one of them would be there.
Luckily, they were both sitting on the grasslands, silently taking in the night sky.
"Kael... Zeref."
I called out to them. My heart was unnaturally beating so loudly. There they were. Looking my way.
