The Artificial God

Elysna

On a sunny morning, ah no, I mean on a gloomy day, "The lazy market wakes up quickly! let's see when you guys laze around in the room!" mouri shouted that came into our room. Me and Tygruth were having fun playing a game we just created.

Last night we created this game, and made a way to play the game we made. Then me, and Tygruth decided to name the game we created, "Chess". We suddenly said the same thing the night before.

"God! what happened to your eyes!? you look gloomy" said Mouri who was surprised to see our marsupial eyes, and were black from not sleeping all night. Ah right too, in my house this originally had two rooms. Me, and Tygruth slept in the same room, while he. I mean Mouri slept comfortably in my previous room.

"Hey answer me! why don't you all care about me talking here!" mouri shouted in annoyance.

"Hei Gernath... Did you hear anything?" tygruth asked me with a drowsiness, until a voice as loud as Mouri was not heard in our ears, "What are you talking about?" my spoken. Then finally after that we fell asleep because we were so sleepy.

Mouri who saw us could only fall silent, and held back her anger. After that Mouri went to our backyard to take care of our garden. I don't know since when I thought of this house as our home together, it felt so good.

2 Hours passed. Me, and Tygruth finally woke up from sleep. As soon as we woke up, we did not see Mouri, after which we decided to look for her around the house, and finally we found Mouri who was sitting on the porch in a state of drenched sweat.

"Hey what happened to you? why are you even playing with water until your clothes are soaking wet like that" I said, then Mouri looked at me horribly to my surprise, "You said what a shit! I was taking care of this fucking garden you know! the bed-smith just talks!" said Mouri who looked upset, and left us.

"Then what's the deal with that?" I said, "stupid" again Tygruth said that to me. After that we started to take care of our garden, I decided to expand our garden area together. But while I was digging in the ground with my claws, I found a small, glowing stone.

The rock is an ice, which has light moving in it. Not only that, the stone had an inscription that I did not understand on the outside. I don't know what to do with this stone, but I will definitely hide this stone from others, and it will be my secret.

"Finally done too. huh, I'm tired, and hungry... eh? where do you want to go, Gernath?" said Tygruth, who saw me leaving Tygruth in the garden.

"Ah, sorry..I went for a while, I have something to take care of, you just eat first. I'll be right back" I said, leaving the house soon, and immediately went into the forest of Agnuth. At that time what I thought about this blue glowing stone that I found, was to make it a necklace.

Of course I won't show the others, even if it's just the necklace. I will make the collar on my shirt higher, and cover my neck so as not to be caught by others if I wear a necklace. But when I was looking for something to make a rope for my necklace.

Suddenly I remembered the plant that the Elf had given me. My heart was beating fast as soon as I remembered it, and again this was the first time I had entered this forest after the incident that had befallen Tygruth back then.

My body trembled in fear, I want to quickly leave this forest. But my heart told me to go see the plant, and I finally decided to go see the plant. Not caring about this fear, despite making my hair stand up, I had to face my fear bravely.

Tygruth's words back then were true, I can't go on like this. Life is filled with fear, and the past, because living like that is not worth mentioning with one's life. People who stick to their past path will only make themselves more miserable, and will not step forward.

Then I approached her, and looked at her from afar. It turns out true my guess, that Elf who was then the one who was humming. I didn't think that I would see her again, and it seemed like she had come here alone without someone escorting her.

I didn't know what to do, suddenly my body was hot, and I became weird again like that. Then Tygruth's annoying words back then kept popping up in my mind, when I thought I had forgotten those words because they were long gone.

Then the Elf realized my existence, and our eyes looked at each other. I was shocked, and immediately hid behind the tree, my heart beating so fast, and fast. My heart rate was different from my previous fear, like something different, very different.

"Hey.. Come here. and hum, hang with me like before" said the fairy to me. Then I looked at him while hiding behind a tree, he looked strange. Why did he throw his face out of my face while he invited me to hum with him?.

"Let's just relax. I came here by myself. ja-so you don't have to worry" said the fairy who assured me. After that I slowly approached the fairy, and sat next to her, somehow the atmosphere became awkward. Though our first meeting was not like this, what exactly has happened since then?.

After that we hummed in a small voice, and threw each other away. I was quite surprised to see that the plant had grown quite large. If I knew this, I should have asked Tygruth and Mouri to take a look.

Amidst the awkwardness I ventured to start the conversation, "Hey...hmm. Speaking of which, you haven't told me your name yet" I said stuttering.

"My name?. My name... Elysna.. Then, what's your name?" asked the Elf, which inexplicably felt like her words were extremely hurtful. I thought he knew my name when I, and Tygruth fought each other, and said our names to each other. Maybe this is what people say, "Bloodless pain".

"my name... Tygruth, I thought you'd known from the moment we first met. Whereas when I was fighting with my friend, we mentioned each other's names" I said in a small voice.

"Eh!? has he? I-I'm sorry, I didn't realize that what you're saying is a name" said Elysna, who again had a very piercing words. What did he say just now? he didn't realize it was a name? I wanted to die when I heard that from him.

"By the way...how is your friend? it looks like he received a pretty severe attack from you" Elysna said.

"Thank God he's fine now, but somehow since that day his style of speech has become a little different from the previous one" I said happily because it turns out he cares for my friend.

After that we could somehow talk casually, and slowly our chat became very pleasant. Perhaps this is what is felt when establishing a good relationship with the Elves. It felt so pleasant, and soothing, like being in the middle of a peaceful sea.

We laughed at each other, and sometimes that awkward feeling reappeared. I don't know what kind of feeling it is, but it feels so good, and it makes my heart beat so fast. Hopefully with this I can make the villagers realize that the Elves they think are not that bad.
