1 Aurios meets a strange creature (Aurios Short)

I can't remember how long had passed since i was left all alone down here, it's dark and cold— and i can't even truly feel cold. The water is so still that I don't know if I'm even alive anymore.

Why did they leave me— they promised that we would always be together no matter how much time passed. We promised that no matter what we will be family.

But that was just a lie— they don't care about me, they just care about completing their own goal. That's why they left me down here, just because i didn't want to go along with their plans.

It's not that i didn't want to go along with their plans— i just didn't want anyone getting hurt. I didn't want to lose them— i love them— if i lost them i would be lost.

But i guess i lost them anyways.

Now I'm all alone down here— i don't even know how many years have passed since we parted ways.

A hundred? Maybe a few thousand? Time seems so still down here i can't tell.

Nothing ever changes. I should just go back to sleep.

What was that?

Something shaking woke me up— it felt like movement but what would be moving all the way down here? Nothing should be able to reach this depth.

Should i go see what it was? But what if it was nothing? What if I'm just getting my hope up for no reason?

Why am i even feeling hope?

I wanted this— i wanted to be alone down here, so why would it matter if something else is down here with me?

But i want to know!

I'm going to see what it was.

What is that? A creature? It looks big.

I'm going to take a closer look at it.

.

.

.

.

Wow, it's so big up close, it's at least 4 times my size, but, it's kind of cute!

"Hi?"

I spoke to it in an attempt to see if it could communicate but the creature just looked at me confused.

I don't think it could talk yet, it might be a newborn, or something that only recently came to life.

Maybe it'll learn to talk if i teach it how to. Let's do that.

No, it's not like i want company or anything— i just want to see if i can teach it something!

A few years have passed since i met the weird creature, and it has grown so much over that period of time. Now i can't even see its face when i stand at its feet.

But he's still such a softie, always nagging me to be careful or eat food! So mean!

Oh! I did manage to teach it how to speak though, aren't i so cool?

Once he started speaking he wanted a name, i didn't feel right giving him a name since i don't know any, but he insisted.

So i named him Adam! Isn't it cool? That was the name of the first human male that Kami made, so i thought that the first creature that could live with me down here should have it too.

He apparently thought it was weird but he didn't hate it. We decided to use that name when it's just us.

Oh, i need to go he's calling me for food!

.

.

.

.

I think around a hundred years have passed since I named Adam, he's so big now that some of the people from the land saw him while on their boats and started to worship him as a God or something.

It's so weird!

He keeps complaining to me about how they keep offering him sacrifices or something and he can't do anything about it because whenever he tries speaking to them they explode.

Maybe i should help me with it?

Yea I'm going to help him! I'll go on land tomorrow and talk to them!

.

.

.

.

It didn't go well.

Why are people so mean! I went on land to ask them to stop being weird but they started screaming, and they started throwing their weapons at me.

They are so mean! All i wanted was to talk to them! Some of them even attacked me with their magic, they tried to hurt me!

I didn't mean to do it— but— but i acted on instinct.

I didn't mean to destroy their Kingdom.

I'm sorry.

He's going to be so mad at me now.

He might leave me too— i might be alone again.

I don't want to be alone again.

I'm just going to go back to my hole.

.

.

.

.

He didn't leave! He wasn't even mad.

He said they deserved it for attacking me and that it wasn't my fault.

I thought he would leave for sure but he said he would never leave me alone.

I finally have someone that won't leave me! A friend!

No.

A family.

I have to go now, he apparently found a weird flower that can talk— I'm going to go meet it.

Bye bye.
