🕑 Added 2023-11-02 09:56:04 +0000 UTCChirin woke up? ...
Yes... and no... It was real. Chirin looked around him. The forest was on peace, burned, but quiet. The voices silenced, the wind claimed a moment for wait. He forgot for a moment who was in front of him.
Mune has been used his powders for open Chirins heart, replacing the bad moments with Wolf for his childhood on the farm with his mother and friends.
- Homesick to the past. - Said quietly Cheshire to Mune. - You are so deadly when you act.
- I had not choice. - Said Mune quietly too. - I was not sure what put on his hope and dreams.
Both got quiet. They looked the scene. Campanella was in front of the lamb. The pink cat watched Chirin. The big eyes of the cat reflected the sadness of the lamb. Mune and Cheshire retired quietly.
- I´m so sorry for burnt your clothes. - Chirin apologies. - Don´t you feel shame of be naked?
- No. - Responded Campanella. - I use clothes because I´m cold. But I have nothing for hide. Are you ashamed of my body?
- Yes... no, yes... I´m so sorry I am very ashamed. My actions were not right. Could you forgive me?
- Yes, yes Chirin, I forgive you. - Chirin dropped some tears.
- Did you... did you had mom? - Aske the lamb.
- Yes.
- What happened to her? - Campanella closed his eyes, the question of Chirin was difficult to answer.
- I cannot remember. But is ok. She is fine. She is awaiting me.
Chirin tried to find an excuse of get out but in the same time stay there talking with Campanella.
- Tell me. - Continued Chirin. - In what I was wrong?
Campanella looked the lamb. His eyes filled of tears.
- You made the same mistake than I. - Campanella said. - You didn't mourn your mother.
- I... I cried next to her. I felt bad for her.
- Yes, I know, but you negated what happened. You exploded on rage trying to destory everything. You negociated with Wolf. But when you finished him, you fell on a deep depression, and you never accepted the lost of your mother replaced later for Wolf who you considered him a father.
Chirin fell on his kness and he tries to excuse himself.
- I was a sheep, a small sheep. A silly sheep.
- And I was a kitty too. The difference between me and you is... I died before I could mourn my mother. You had time, a large life... I didn´t.
Chirin felt bad. He tried to not continue with the talking. Then he remembered when he walked alone on the snowy mountains crying "Wou".
- You are not alone. - Campanella said as he read his mind. - Not anymore. - Then Chirin, resigned to continuing talking he asked a question:
- What can I do for you? - Chirin sounded now calmed.
- Please, could you give me back the ticket of my friend Giovanni? He needs it for travel with me to Cross of South on the galactic railroad.
Chirin nodded. From his bell taked the ticket and gave to Campanella.
- I wanted go there too. - Chirin said, sounded defeated. - Maybe I will not go never.
- Maybe you will. - Said Campanella. - Remember, you are not alone.
Then, Chirin leaved to escape a sigh, and his body changed. His horns dissappeared and his muscles become soft. He looked more like a sheep.
- Go. - Chirin said. - Go with Giovanni, and tell him I am so sorry for burnt his clothes and steal his ticket.
Campanella nodded in silence, he turned around and in silence started to walk to Mune and Cheshire. On that exactly moment Chirins body become on dust and only left a black smoke. Chirin became into a Shadow. Everybody looked his transformation.
- What will you do now, Chirin? - Asked Cheshire giving him a smile.
- Find myself . Replied Chirin, but his voice sounded distorted. - If I cannot find the forgive on myself, I will help others find it.
- So pity. But... I will come again soon. I hope you are not here anymore when I arrive.
- I hope not. But if I see you again...
Chirin decided stop to talk, he dissappeared walking into the woods.
Mune, Cheshire and Campanella abandoned Gehenna in silence. Nobody talked about what happened.
However...
Mune looked back and on the forest a small golden light shiny.
Then they heard a small bell on the distance...
