Chapter 8:

Crying Mind

Tales of Eden


Moon sees Astro. Astro says “You are currently connected to her mind. The mind is a fragile place. Any action you make can make a ripple in someone's psyche.” 


Moon listened to Astro's words carefully. 

Moon walks over to Hikari and hugs her from behind. He says “It will all be alright.” Moon’s words don’t make her budge. Hikari says “Liar! All of this is happening because of you!” Moon says “I should have never left.” Hikari says “No! You don't understand! You opened the world.” 

Moon asks “What do you mean?” 

Hikari pushes Moon away and stands up. Moon falls to the ground. 

She says “The crystal that you made your wish one. Your wish didn’t come true.” Moon gets up and asks “So your saying my wish didn’t happen.” Hikari says “Did you gain any power?" Moon stayed quiet.

Hikari says "This world was originally split up. Heaven and Hell aren’t some religious folktales. What you did was, open the world up to the other side.” Moon asks “So Heaven and Hell exist and you're saying I open the door to them? Yeah like that is so believable.”

She says “You saw my powers and body. This ain’t some magic trick. Chaos will spill into our world.” Moon says “Why should I care? No one knows but you and me.” 

Hikari sighs then says “I wish but it was only us that knows. God knows and the king of demons.” Moon says “So what, if your so-called chaos will splash into this world, and if they know? None of this has anything to do with me. I don't care what happens to anyone.” 

Hikari shouts “You're the cause of all of this. It would have been better if you didn’t even find that crystal. They both will come after you and if either of them gets you the world balance will end.” 

Moon says “I don’t understand this! What is the point of this conversion? Are you just mad at me and talking nonsense?” Hikari says “Take this seriously! Everything will end.”

After she said those words, Hikari teleports, and punches Moon. This sends him flying.


While being sent to space Moon asks “Astro any help here?” Astro just sighs then says “Your problem! How about you deal with it? It could even be your first trial?” Moon asks “Could I at least get some advice?” 

Astro says “You’re in her mind. She is the king here.” Hikari shouts “Who’s Astro? Why are you talking to someone other than me? No matter after I kill you, it will be just me and you.” 

Hikari does a hand gesture and this sends Moon straight to the ground. Moon says “Killing me won’t bring us closer.” Hikari says “I have seen the truth. Death will take all the pain and sadness away. With the great embrace of death, we can become one.” 

Moon says “I don’t know the truth you have seen, but death will not make us one. Death is the end.” Hikari says “How would you know?”

Moon stands up and says “I have killed many people. Death is the end. The only talents I have are for bad things.” Hikari is so shocked that she can’t speak.

She was never told this. She felt wronged since something so important was never told to her. Hikari always tried to protect and be there for him but couldn't cope with this. She had never seen or experienced any death in her life. She was sheltered by it.

He says “I am a sick and evil bastard. Aku no has infected you with demon blood and so have I.” Hikari asks “What do you mean?” 

Moon says “I push people away that have good intentions and confront people with bad intentions. When we first met on that fateful day, I watched every single person who trying to help me burn. I walked into the fire and looked the survivors in the eyes and ended their lives. Then I met you soon after I decide to walk away.” 

Hikari with tears in her eyes asks “What is the point of all this!” Moon looks her in the eyes and says “When we met I infected you with my sadness and pain. You looked at me like I'm a sad animal that is hopeless. Like I need your help and saving but the truth is. I am a …” 

Moon starts to look down. Hikari says “Say it! Say what you're about to say.” Moon says “I am a shit. I am a bad person. I am not worth your time and effort.” Hikari says “You have changed and grown.” Moon says “I have not changed nor grown. I am not worth your effort.”

Moon turns around and says “Let me stop leeching of you.” Moon starts walking away from her. Hikari chases after him. Moon hears this and says “Stop! Let me deal with my problems alone. Just like in school. Let me be alone.” 


The ground begins to shake and a huge gap is created between them this whole only keeps getting bigger and bigger. Moon looks to his right and sees Astro. He says “Teach me! Teach me how to deal with my problems. Give me. No led me your power.” Astro snaps and says “I will start the contract. I will give you my all and will. You will grant my one wish. And you will do the same for me!” 

Moon looks down and asks “What do you wish for?” Astro says “I wish for the end. I will tell you more later. We will work on your wish first.” Moon looks up and says “Ok!” Moon’s left eye turns yellow. Astro says “Your eyes will be the hint of our contract. Don’t let the hope in your left eye die.” Moon and Astro both leave the mind space.
