Chapter 9:

Left all alone

Tales of Eden


Hikari was in her mind space looking at old memories of her and Moon. 

Hikari says “I have been left alone. My heart still aches from his words. I care so much about him but. Is it right to love a murderer?” Hikari was left in her mind pondering that question.

The cacoon of dark slime explodes leaving pieces everywhere. Moon wakes up from the explosion shortly after but surprisingly, isn’t covered in the dark slime. Moon looks at Hikari’s sleeping body and gets up and walks away. Eclipse asks “Are you done?” 

Moon asks “Act like a big brother and deal with her from now on.” Moon walks away. Eclipse asks “Where are you going?” Moon says “Home.” Eclipse says “Then wait for us.” Moon says “We don’t have the same home. I am going back to where it all started.” 

Eclipse doesn’t think much about it and lets him go then thinks “When did his eye become yellow?” It was too late for Eclipse to get him. Moon goes to the first floor and sees the fire all put out. 

He thinks “Maybe Eclipse did this.” Moon walks out of the building. Astro appears infront of Moon in a spirit-type form. She asks “Where are we going?” Moon says “I’m going home just like I said. I’m going to where my real family is.” 

After saying this a black limo pulls up infront of the school. The window in the back rolls down and a woman says “Get in.” 

Moon gets into the car and it drives away from the school. Away from Hikari, Eclipse, and his adopted family. He leaves them all behind and tries to press forward with the new light in his eye.

The woman asks “Are you ready to accept who you are?”

The woman was dressed in a black suit that has a skirt. Her shoes were black and so was her hair. Her eyes were crimson red. She wore glasses. Her black hair went past her shoulders and she had a bang that swooped to the left that didn't cover her eyes.

Moon says “Yes, I am ready to leave that happy make-believe family.” The woman says “As long as you live up to the family name.” Moon says “Yes mother.” As soon as he says that he begins to pass out.

Thirty minutes earlier, a scientist got a call from a god. The scientist looks at the god and sees stars. 

The goddess introduces herself, “Hello Human, I am the goddess of space and stars. You may call me Astro.” The scientist says “A few minutes ago, I would have said gods don’t exist but your existence disproves that completely. So why does an almighty god have to do with a simple scientist like me?” 

Astro says “I am here to grant your wish. Your wish is to leave a mark on history and this world. What if I told you that with my help, you can?” The scientist says “I am and any other scientist in this world would love to make history. I will help you. But what would that entail?” Astro says "There is a human boy who has an inhuman makeup. Why don't you learn about him and create something special?"

 The scientist asks "A human boy? If he is inhuman as you claim? It may be interesting to experiment on him but, would it really inspire change?" Astro says "I AM A GOD! This is a path that I give you! Do not question me!"

He begins to kneel in front of the god, not only because of pure faith but out of fear. He could barely breathe around her. He felt himself being out of character. With every second he felt that she could be a ... problem.

Astro begins to smile.

Moon wakes up in a hospital gown next to a bed and a huge mirror. The room was completely white. A speaker plays and says “Hello. Hello. Testing.” Moon looks at the speaker. The voice from the speaker says “Welcome to my testing facility. Here we are going to make history!”

Moon says “And what does that have to do with me?” The voice says “I will be using your unique makeup to open the gates to the other side.” Moon shouts “Like hell.” 

The voice says “Like hell indeed.” Gas is released from the walls and Moon breathes it in and it makes his body go numb and sleepy. He is forced back to sleep. The voice says “The gods will is humanity's will.”
