《The boy down the river》Chapter 7
Advertisement
(Marco's POV)
"Eh? Reed?!" I pushed him off me. He pouted and slid into the river, "Hey! Get back here river-boy~" I sang playfully, again he didn't come up from the water, and no bubbles.... It was like he wasn't there at all.... Sort of inhuman, in some ways.
"River-boy~ Come out~ Maybe your hiding down there, but if your not coming out I'm going in~" I said, as I slowly took off my shirt to prepare to dive into the river. Both of my legs slipped in, followed by the rest of my body.
I opened my eyes.
(Nobody's POV)
Reed sat down in the river.... He was a bit flustered by his lovers reaction. Marco was behind him. His eyes wide. His lover looked different.... He was some kind of siren/merman, in his current form, patches of scales glistened in places.
Marco was horrified, why didn't Reed tell him? Did Reed not trust him? He was confused and felt betrayed in some way.... A few seconds later he unfroze and swam up to the surface.
After stumbling out of the water he tried to hide behind some tall reeds. Why did he think that Reed trusted him, all this time? He failed to hide his chocolate-brown, fluffy hair. He started too cry. Why didn't Reed just tell him before, did he do something to seem untrustworthy? He was so confused. There were signs Reed wasn't human before, why didn't he notice them?!
(Reed's POV)
After I had recovered from my fluster and transform into a human again, I swam up to the river-bank, I wanted too see Marco again, hear his sweet voice say 'Hey river-boy~' to me once again. I reached the surface and heard a soft sob from the reeds, I noticed the fluffy, brown hair peeking out of the reeds and realised who it was.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked nervously, while crawling up to him. "G-go away! Monster! W-why didn't you t-tell me?!" He sobbed, trying to get away from me as quickly as possible. "Monster?! What do you mean?! What did I not tell you?!" I yelled, angry that the person I trusted called me a 'Monster'! Tears streaming down his face, he tried to crawl away, scared but also hurt at the same time.
Why did I yell at him? I shouldn't have done that.... He doesn't trust me anymore..... "Come back! What did I do?" I don't understand.... Did I do something wrong?
(Marco's POV)
As I got away I remembered the girl and curious, I ran to see what she wanted.
"Hello.... I have a request.... There are certain rumors that sirens live here, I hunt them. I want you to help me catch one at least.... I could get you out of that orphanage. If you deny my offer I will hunt it on my own. I can find one by myself, I just want to have some company, I felt you would be willing to help." I felt nervous. Would I accept....?

The Journey of a Lazy Magician
As the state of the world grew dangerous everyday as the Demon Lord whom have the capability to destroy the world, will be un-sealed soon and the attacks of the demon forces' became more frequent, what better time it would be to be held as one of the richest person in the world. Only a sane person with the right mind would do that. Having to acquire something before an inevitable and hopeless end is the best option rather than trying to find the solution for the end of the world. I mean, the device used to re-seal the Demon Lord is gone. It could be under the ocean for all we know so why waste you're energy on stupid things like that? Of course, why would I waste my energy to do my incredibly hard goal when I can have my fellow party members to do it. Saving their "lives" from lesser goblins using a stick as a weapon usually does the trick to get someone on board so I think I'm pretty much set. *The cover photo is mine :3* AN: And thus, a schedule has been formed! I would be posting new chapter ever 2-3 days and if i haven't posted in this time, then something happened to me personally that makes me unable to post chapters in the scheduled time. The reason will mostly be school or i just have a lot of things scheduled in a certain day, etc. Sorry if it did happen as i am a very busy senior high student and could only write in his free time. Anyway, that is all and have a good day/night, the person who is reading this!
