Chapter 38
The Departures

----Ragnarok----
All was quite as everyone remained in their beds.
The night sky was lit with stars that glowed brightly revealing everything in the dark.
Arcadios was sleeping soundly in his bed as he laid in a deep sleep, he began to move back and forth moving his pillows and blanket.
Arcadios found himself on a road that seems hollow and light, nothing but an ocean of desert surrounded him, a figure with a black hoodie could be seen walking from the opposite direction.
It grew closer to Arcadios, the wind blew and with it's cold drift it removed the cloaked figured hood and Arcadios immediately knew who it was.
He began running toward the figure and yelled out "Master!"
Eiyuu and Arcadios meet face to face.
Arcadios spoke first, "Master, are you alright?"
"Yes, I've been wandering around in search of..."
"What are you looking for?"
"Nothing, Arcadios!"
Arcadios seemed surprised at the outburst of his name that came from Eiyuu.
"Yea?"
"I have nothing more to teach you."
"But, master."
"You have enough experience.."
"But..."
"You should leave before everyone else catches wind."
"..."
"Listen, It'll all end soon."
"What?"
The floor began to glow and Eiyuu began walking away.
"Wait, Master!"
Eiyuu quickly looked back.
"Another thing, Stop calling me that. You are no longer my pupil."
He continued walking away and Arcadios remained stationary.
He couldn't move until the light engulfed him and he rose from his bed in shock.
What.......what was that?
He looked around to find it was still night and got up from his bed and walked to the bathroom, turning on the light and began staring at the mirror.
So, Eiyuu's finished? Guess it's time for me to go back home.
Arcadios took a shower and quickly clothed himself.
He went into the docking area and found two emergency ships.
He walked to the control panel to open one of them and began setting the coordinate for his home planet, Serulia.
Ragnorok opened it's gate to release the small ship out.
It went into the sky and disappeared.

----Morning----
The sun had rose and the inside of Ragnarok was filled with noise and confusion as everyone began making sense of everything.
"So, We have two people missing?" Said Aurie.
"Yep, Anara and Arcadios." Said Septero.
"Now what?" Asked Vecks.
"Well, we have two people gone and two people out." Answered Fera
Adalline came outside from her room and tugged Septero's shirt to gain his attention.
"Hey, Renai is waking up."
"What?!"
Everyone began walking to Eiyuu's room.
Renai was there looking at Eiyuu and looking at his wounds that were inflicted upon by his comrades.
She spoke, "I have to leave."
"Where to?" Asked Aurie.
"Home."
"Why?" Said Fera
Renai didn't bother answering the question.
"I'm leaving."
She walked to the emergency ship that was left and began putting in the coordinate for her home planet, The Ocean of Hope.
"I'm outta here." Renai said.
"Are we just gonna let her leave like that?!" Yelled Adalline.
"Yea, there's really no reason to argue with it." Said Septero.
"I'm not just gonna let her leave like that!" Responded Aurie.
"Is it really your choice to make?" Said Vecks.
"No but still..."
"Bye." Renai said softly as the ship began rising off of the platform and went into the sky.
Everyone waved goodbye till the ship could no longer be seen.
"So she left Eiyuu here?" Asked Vecks.
"Yea, but she seemed like she didn't want to." Said Septero.
"What makes you say that?" Asked Aurie.
"Her face, she had an expression of reluctance."
"Well, there goes another one."
Adalline began tugging Septero's shirt once again.
Septero turned to Adalline.
"Yea?"
"Now Eiyuu is walking up."
"Huh?"
Everyone returned to Eiyuu's room.
Eiyuu was wrapping his belt around his waist and put on his shirt.
"Where are you off to now?" Asked Fera.
"I'm leaving to find Kurai." Answered Eiyuu
"Like always." Said Vecks.
"Man, why is everyone leaving?!" Asked Aurie.
"Because you're here." Said Vecks with a big smirk on his face.
Aurie smacked him leaving a red mark on his face.
"So much for that." Said Septero
"Are there anymore ships left?" Asked Eiyuu.
"Nope." Answered Fera
"Then I'm outta here."
Eiyuu waved his hand toward the floor and a dark hole appreaed from the ground.
"Wait!" Said Aurie.
Eiyuu jumped in and it quickly closed.
"Damn it!"
"What were you gonna ask him?" Said Vecks.
"Nothing...."
"Then why tell him to wait?"
"Because, I don't want everyone to start leaving."
"Heh, guess we're the only ones left." Said Fera.
Aurie, Vecks, Septero and Fera all looked at each other as Adalline was looking for food in the kitchen.
"Well....now what?" Asked Septero.
"I dunno..." Said Vecks.

-End

So much for a productive chapter.
This is like a smallest chapter here but it's a prelude to a bigger one.
I wasn't feeling very inspirational at the moment since I gotta go to the Doc.
Anyway, I'll make up for it on my next chapter.
Big time.
I had to do this first thou since I need some time to pass.
And if you two get chapters in between December 19th and January 2nd, I won't be here to read them so don't get mad if I don't show up.
It's only two weeks, not a month.
:D

The chapter seemed a bit.... rushed... Also, you only referred to Arcadios by "Arcadios" never "him" or anything like that, and it sort of made the chapter ugly to read. (Does that make sense?) Overall, it really didn't seem like a... chapter, more like a super short summary.

Yeah, I agree, but it got the job it needed to do done.

I think....

Well, I have an idea of what to write next for my chapter, I'll get on it a little later.

Heh, the appointments been on my mind.
But gotta wait two more days for any results on anything.
I know it felt rushed but you'll find what was missing here on my next chapter.
As long as we can go forward again.
