Listen & Read

|KF|- Keldran would listen to her talking the entire way through, he could hear the pain in her voice. Pain was often a constant in his life and it seemed it was this way for not just him for many people in the shinobi world. It made him sad and honestly he was never able to communicate his feelings well without regretting it. So, as she was mid-way through her speech he began to cry, shredding a heavy stream of tears as it would begin to coat her shoulder as they hugged.

Why would Keldran cry in this moment? For a pain that was not his? Because he was tired of feeling pain and others feeling such pain.

It may have been something so brought upon herself and her clan but each of us all make mistakes that end up changing our course but you just have to have the strength to change and or walk it to the end. Maybe in this moment Keldran was meant to be here, to be the hero and the change that this clan would need to be placed back on the right path. In front of him was two tracks and next to him in a grim black and white setting was a lever. A train was oncoming and to the right was a smiling Hikari clan and the village finally becoming something in the world and happy once again. The other one was the oncoming train which had the insignia of the black cat with glaring red eyes. If Keldran didn’t hit the switch it would collide into the happy Hikari path but if he did turn the lever the track would fold crashing directly into where he stood. With only a split-second decision left in front of him he hit the lever and the train would hit him and the whole scene would pan back to them hugging and her still talking.

Keldran continued to cry as he held her closer, even when she meant to back away he continued to hold her tenderly in his arms. For someone that’s been through so much in his young life, his touch and embrace was warn, like a brazier on a cold winter night. After she finished speaking he had some small things to offer, “Even if you have done wrong and have done horrible things. What defines you is the heart you have for your clan not the damage that is behind you. You can change this clan and the world one day but you need help and this is help that I am willing to promise myself to give you. Let go of your pain, let go of your worry and place it on my shoulders. I will save you from the dark.”

Wiping his tears, he brought his forehead to her own and smiled through his remaining tears, his dimpled smile coming to the forefront to break the tense and emotional moment. Though after that display he would finally release the hug and a small distance would be created and she still insisted on allowing one of them to go alone on his journey. Keldran didn’t like the idea and expressed it once again through his words, “They need to be here to help you, I know not of your name. But until I return I’d entrust your safety to them. My path is one that me and my brother must walk together without interference. I’d risk the lives of the very clan members you wish to save so please, keep them at your side.”

Afterwards Keldran would take a deep breath and bring his hands to his head in a display of relief but after resetting to normal he noticed her placing a lock of hair being put behind her head and she seemed to look at him but then look away over and over. “Do I have something funny on my face?” He gestured not knowing why she was doing that. - |KF|
