Isiah didn't say a word after that, he just showed him where to sleep and then went outside.
The kid knew that he was disposable at that young age and to him there was nothing that could fix what was done, Isiah sat outside the house on the first step leading to the door and started looking at Emperium.
For him, Emperium meant some solace, some comfort, some recognition, a future that he couldn't afford having in Delwias Island.
He blamed himself now after he realized that bringing the kid here might be a bad idea, he was doomed for his lack of powers, Ciel was powerful then him, he was so weak to the point where he couldn't perform a single spell right .
For a brief moment he thought about his parents, the kid was from district two and he told him about the flood that he had no idea that it happened.
'And for people to start leaving their district like that, it must look bad ,'he thought.
At the beginning Isiah tried to force his mind to not think about them since Ciel told him, but now that he was alone while the darkness was all around him he thought about his parents.
'They tried to start over away from me, but their failure just followed them'
A flood in district two was not a normal thing to happen according to its usual weather, sure it is rainy and sunny at the same time almost everyday, but the intensity of the rain was not that capable of destroying a whole district.
For an hour, Isaiah sat there thinking about his parents, there was even a wild thought that kept him edgy for that time, he kept reminding himself of what he was treated but that thought kept on proliferating inside of him.
He wanted to save them, then he remembered that he didn't have any powers, they were much more powerful than him and if he went there he would just be a burden to them .
Isiah turned around immediately, very surprised, he forgot for a second his existence. And he was having a tremendous war inside of him.
If it wasn't for Ciel's sudden presence, he would have been consumed by everything .
"Is the mattress not comfortable for you ?"
"No… it is comfortable ",
"So what is it, Ciel?"
"I feel awake …i don't know why"
Isiah smiled at him, then said:"I think i know why, it is because of all the orange we ate, we had a lot of it "
"Yeah, and stop calling me sir…my name is Isiah"
Ciel sat next to Isiah and started to look at Emperium like he was doing just seconds before he came to him.
" It looks so far away"
"The fact that we are able to see it with our eyes means that it is very close, ciel"
Isiah didn't want to tell him that back in his days on earth, there were planets floating in space and distant from earth, and they were able to see them just by telescope and not all of them because a lot of them were too far.
Isiah was listening to a kid claiming something human kind failed to get.
Emperium was right there and the kid was saying it was too far, yet when humans found out that they corrupted their earth. They just wanted to jump to the next planet and wanted to ruin it too.
No one was able to see mars, unless it was in opposition to the sun, something that happens once in two years, and even then it was looking like a small red dot in the night sky, yet to people from earth it was very close .
The kid was too rational to Isiah more than the whole mankind on earth.
"One day, i will go there, my whole family leveled up, one after another, and ….i will"
"Yes..my mom, my dad, katarina, Liam, Adolphe"
" They all leveled up and left all by themselves!"
" And you stayed with whom all this time?"
Ciel didn't say a word after that, and just kept looking at Emperium silently, but Isiah kept on thinking that this kid is different.
Ciel was incredibly amiable and adorable yet he had so much power to hold himself, he knew how to handle his emotion at a young age, which scared Isiah more than anything about him.
" The place over there is not that great," Ciel said.
Isiah kept looking at him very interested, he thought he wouldn't talk again but here he was changing the subject already.
"I don't understand why everyone is so eager to be there"
" For protection, for a better life, Delwias Island isn't safe as you think "
Isiah would have said more reasons, but he felt like he needed to stay calm and not trouble the kid's head.
"Did someone come here and tell us what's there!" Ciel replid immediately '' . Read complete version only at ⓝovelFire.net
" Yes, teachers…teachers always speaks of what's there "
Ciel didn't reply to Isiah, which made him say:" Do you go to the institution? "
" I was meant to go there the next year, i am only five"
" I thought you were six ! "
" Well, i am five, Isiah "
" Okay, okay, but how come you know how to practise magic !, you are so young to be doing this"
" I saw my 2 brother and sister practicing all the time, i think i was three and a half when i did my first spell, it was not that hard "
" Not that hard? okay " Isiah basically got a hit on his ego which made him go silent for a while .
" But not everyone is like me, dad ..mom..told me not to go to school"
" People can't know about my powers…that's what mom said before she left "
" But you told me! why ?"
" I don't know, i just did" The kid's expressions were too angry this time, yet tried to hide it.
" I am asking so many questions, did I bother you! I just want to know how you lived before , is that okay ?"
