Chapter 33 - the naive child

2108 AD

As usual…the day is as gloomy as it ever could be.

Indhra had no idea what was going on.

He lay back on the green grassy plain, looking at the blue sky, wondering about his existence.

Someone called him. The voice was childish, optimistic, with a girly hint.

He moved his eyes to the right to see a girl of about the same age as him wearing a normal black shirt. Her hair was brown in colour; never in his life had he seen something so beautiful.

" Who are you?" Indhra asked while rubbing his eyes. Finally, he saw her eyes, which shone like a golden marble.

She gave a large grin before saying," You are the one they are talking about, aren't you?"

" Huh?" Indhra questioned back with a sign of irritation.

" Well…how can I explain this?" She pondered while holding her chin with her fingers.

Indhra turned back to look up at the bright sky.

" Just say who you are! I don't want any friends!"

" Oh…I see, so you are that type. The emo one, the guy who hides his emotions." She smiled at the insult that she gave him.

Indhra's veins popped out in anger.

" Look at those veins. My my, I am so scared!" She acted scared, trying to mock Indhra," I think I know now, you are going through 'that' phase of your life, aren't you. The phase where you get too much on yourself. The ego hits, doesn't it?

" Well, everyone goes through with th-"

" Shut Up!" Indhra shouted," What do you want!?"

She felt like her heart had shattered, but she kept it quiet and instead just sat beside him.

" I work with a person called 47, who is the co-leader of a group called Taka. Basically, we want to overthrow the current Monarchy and spread communism across this country-"

" I don't care about those things! I don't have a purpose, I just live, because he spared me." He put pressure on the word 'he' while letting his eyelids down, as if he was depressed.

" I know about it!" She replied, running a slight jolt in his body.

" You know nothing! Max to Max, you only know that he killed everyone, what about me?"

" I know, maybe I don't know anything, but that's the reason why you are alone!"

" Huh?" He turned back to look at her. Now he could only see a smile.

" Why can't you show it to me, no, everyone!? Why can't you show yourself, who you are, to the people whom you like-"

" I am scared-" Indhra was stopped.

" That you will be alone again once they are gone?" Indhra was moved," Listen…this hell we live in is temporary. We all must move on!" A dry leaf fell on her palm, reminding her of something," I moved on…so must you! Sometimes, it's hard, but you have to just do it," She looked at him, "Cause this is the only life you are getting!

" Loneliness under crying, it's useless, there are no boundaries to it, but we must accept that yesterday is over and continue till the tomorrow, until today becomes yesterday. What I mean to say is…we must move on, even if it feels hard to!"

Indhra looked into her eyes; she looked back, and then something struck within him, a thunder that filled the gap in his loneliness. Tears started to roll down his cheeks as he turned to the other side, trying to hide them from her.

She keenly glared at him with a smile.

" We didn't introduce ourselves properly, didn't we?" She asked him, knowing the answer.

" Indhra…Indhra Trix!" He said with a silent blushing sound.

" Shinsetsu!"

" What is your clan name?" He asked while she stood up from the soft grassy plain.

" It's none of your business!" She looked back and winked," Come on, if you want to come, that is." She kindly glared back at Indhra.

SOME TIME LATER

" Mr 47!" Shinsu called out to the masked man. He looked back from his bench to see the young, eight-year-old Indhra, who was admiring the figures' look.

47 approached first by kneeling to match his height. He gave a smile through his eyes.

Indhra calmly noticed the mask.

An eagle was painted on top of it. Two eye sockets were showing his yellow eyes. Indhra noticed that those eyes were similar to his, so he decided to ask him directly.

" Your eyes…they are similar to mine!"

" I see…I guess we both are from the Trix clan then!" 47 replied with a gentle tone.

" Trix? My father used to talk about that." Indhra said with a slight anger building up. " He used to say something like, 'You are the Trix God Armour', some bullshit like that!"

47's eyes twitched, like he was surprised. Shinsu understood that he was acting, but she kept it to herself.

" Oh…I see, so I think it is best if we train! Right?" 47 questions.

" Train?" Indhra gave a weird look. Training was sure not his thing.

" Yeah! You know what a God Armour is, right?"

" Something like the descendant of God or some shit like that," Indhra replied.

" Well…if you are the Trix God Armour, then you must be the strongest! Well, from here, if you are planning to join Taka, then you must train tirelessly until you show your skills!
