Chapter 21 - Fill in the Blanks

  After what happened in the previous wagon, Yun′s legs gave out, and he fell to the ground, shaking “That was…” he started looking dazzled at the darkness up ahead “Cathartic but hollow” Parker sat next to him “In what way, Yun, you said all you wanted to say, no?” Yun shook his head “I mean I did, god I wanted to say all that for a long time… and yet, I know that wasn't the real Josefin, the real one died from cholera a year after I become legal guardian and owner of the orphanage” I took a sit next to him “well even if hollow is good that you finally said what you need and thanks to that we managed to move forward” Anre sat in front of Yun “Hey Yuni… I′m sorry” Yun was confused “Why?” he said, tilting his head “You know, I like to make fun of you and make you mad… but I didn′t know you didn't like to be called “buttler” so I apologies for that…” “when it comes from you is not a slur or a dirty word, it's okay,” he said and stood back up again.

  “Right, so the next thing is tame my fear, which means you two need to keep Karonlin safe and sound” We all follow him “What do you mean?” I asked “Well is obvious my fear is to lose another kid, it's the thing that has turned me into the thunder bird the quickest so this please or whatever this is will try to hurt you before my eyes to make me into a monster” that made senses every time I′m in danger Yun is the one that is always keeping me safe while Anre and Parker take care of the enemies,

  “But don't you have any other fears?” Parker asked, “I believe one on the top of your list is to be responsible for the accident” Yun stopped to consider it “I think it could be, but I don't think this place has the answer… no… actually, there is an answer in this very room” Yun pointed at me “What? Do I have a doll limb in my back?” I asked and laughed “I think I know what he means lass,” Anre said and placed his hand on my shoulder “Your gift is to connect and link to others, so if you link deeply to Yun and look into his mind” “you could theoretically see the parts that have been blocked from Yun′s mind” Parker added “I don't… what if I, I don't know, fry your brain and somehow give you a seizure?” Yun smiled, “Listen, young lady, throughout this trip you have been braving fears and horrors nobody your age should, and if you can do that, I think I can take the leap of faith and let you do this” I took a deep breath and nodded.

  “Okay, let's try this then, let's sit somewhere and I will try my best” We walked for a moment until we found another door, once we cross it we were at some kind of stone structure, “seems secure enough, alright guys me and Anre will keep an eye on you two,” Said Parker “guys… please be careful out here, we do not know if this place will throw something else at you while we are out,” Yun said with a worried expression, Anre clapped him on the back “hey, come on Yunni we will be fine if anything, and I mean anything happens I will be here to help you always”

  With that heart-to-heart, Yun and I sat on the ground. I managed to find a comfortable position as the stones were really rough. I extended my hands and bit on my lip, “Ready?” Yun held my hands and nodded “I′m ready” I closed my eyes and concentrated, for a moment I could only hear the sound of my own heart, drumming in my ears, but after a little bit I heard a second beat, steady and slightly agitated, I opened my eyes as a bright light started to come into the corners of my eyes, once I did me and Yun were standing in an empty white room, “so is this what the inside of my braind looks like, gatta say, it could be worst” I looked behind him and pointed “Look, theres a door behind you!” he turned around, the door was made of elm wood, it looked like “this is the door to my room back home… it even has my name on it” Yun traced his name carved on the wood, the words YUN ###### MIRAI” “that part has been scratched out” I passed my hand through that part “... that used to be my actual last name, but I took Mira when I became directo of the orphanage, we better get going” Yun opened the door and we walked to a fate unknow.

  we were sent back to Killalark, the day was as always a rainy one, but things were different this time around, for starters people were not paying attention to us, even thou the people from town hate Yun nobody was looking or calling the guards or Knights, and the other thing was that a second Yun was walking back to his home, while carrying brown bags filled with groceries “... I remember this…” Yun looked for someone with a newspaper “We are a few days before me and my kids took that accursed train ride, come to think of it I don't remember how I got the tickets for the ride” We followed the other Yun as he walked down the road “what do you mean Yun?” he thought for a moment, “Is not like we needed money but to buy five round tickets is not money I could have had on demand but Alina was rejected form an art college she wanted to attend when she turned eighteen, so then how-”

  Yun got his answer in the form of a tall man in a white suit with the crest of the Knights of Twilight. We eavesdropped on the conversation, “You again?” Yun said looking defensive and annoyed “Listen, Mister, I thought I was very clear to your boss, that none of the kids wanted to be adopted by him, if this goes on I will-” The man raised a hand to show he was not there for that conversation “my apologies Lord Mirai, Grand Master Alacard is aware of the decision made by the children under your care, and is also aware of his actions lately have been…” the other Yun placed the bag on the ground and crossed his arms “Annoying? a breach of boundaries? Borderline obsessive?” Yun answered, I looked at my Yun, “Wow, you were the same back then” “Don't be rude to me!” he reprimanded me “... I do remember him… actually, that is!”

  Yun′s eyes opened in horror “Look, Mr. Salvatore I just want him to take no for an answer and if this kind of behavior continues, I will present a formal complain and make it public are we clear?” the other Yun picked his bags up and started to walk off “Please just a moment im not here to harras you or anything quite the contrarie” Salvatore looked through something in his coath pocket “Grand Master Alacard is deeply remorse about his actions and he wishes this gesture of apologies will be received as an olive branch” he placed a bunch of tickets in Yun′s hands, he looked at them and then back at Salvatore “this are…” “yes Lord Mirai, Grand Master Alacard wants you to have this tickets for the new railway that goes all the way to Marlusha” Yun looked at the tickets “I understand the caution you are exerting right now, but i assure you Master Alacard will not be coming closer to you our any of the kids again, “Knight′s word?” Yun asked, Salavtore placed his hand over his heart “Knight′s word Lord Mirai”

  Crack!!! after the sound of a broken mirror, the scenario flashed to the night I saw in the video, with heavy rain, lighting, Yun looking at the ultimate destination of the train the monolith, and when the unknown man and General Caulfield appeared and Yun threw himself at the unknown man I was able to to see the full scene, the man threw Yun away from him by bashing a tower shield against him, afterwords Caulfield order the guards form the maw to tie Yun with rope and finally the real Yun spoke “... Those knights bastards, all this time pretending to be the shield of the people…” Yun′s anger and rage was palpable, filling the air with static energy, “ONLY TO BE THE ONES TO KILL THEM!!!”
