Remember Me

"No problem, really. It was the least I could do." Armageddon watched Ambrosia continue eating, hoping she would stop soon. The boy himself had decided that he wasn't hungry enough to eat right now. He could wait until later to eat. "Ambrosia I suggest you slow down. You'll choke on a piece of pancake if you don't." Armageddon raised an eyebrow, noting the fact that his sister just kept on eating. That proved how different the two were.

Ambrosia liked the food and wasn't going to stop eating it until her bottomless pit of a stomach was full. It was an eventful last two days, after all. Soon she was going to go back to bed, because today... was a lazy day.

Alea waited untill Ambrosia was finished eating. She sighed and stood up, her legs still wobbley from the healing.

Armageddon moved swiftly and quickly to Alea's side, placing his hand under her shoulder. "Are you okay?" It was like him to be concerned about people he barely knew; he was kind enough to open his heart to people. That and Alea had healed his foot. With his eyes bright he studied Alea's face, trying to read her expression. It was then he realized how pretty she actually wa. With her blue eyes and that blonde hair he imagined most anyone would look amazing with them.

Ambrosia stared at her brother and raised an eyebrow. She knew that look. Standing up she meandered over to the door and pulled on her thigh-high white boots. "I'll be back guys." Ambrosia walked out the door, slamming it behind her. She didn't know where she was going to go, but whereever it was, adventure waited. She could tell by her gut feeling.

"Um, yea i'm ok." Alea put her hands to her head and tried to get over the dizzyness that was sweeping through her mind. "Sorry about that. I'm still kind of weak but i'll get over it in a while."

"Why are you apologizing? It's totally fine. You really didn't have to heal me, you know. I would've lived without being healed. But... It's kind of my fault that you're dizzy." Armageddon felt bad about this whole scenario. It was partially his fault, and that was how he felt about it. He really didn't like taking things from people, or having them do things for him. He was more of a do it himself kind of guy; one that didn't like getting anything for free. He liked working for things.

"Its not your fault and yes I did have to heal you. It's the least I could do because you and Ambrosia are so kind to me." Alea wished Armageddon wouldn't blame himself. It realy wasn't his fault....

"I would like to say that you're right about that, but then I'd be considered as rude. So, then, I'll leave you with a no comment." Armageddon smiled lightly and ventured into his bedroom. Pulling out a random book he went back out into the living room and plopped down on the couch. "Would you like to look at this book? It's rather interesting."

Alea couldnt help but smile. "I've always liked to read. But since i started traveling, i couldnt seem to find the time." Alea walked acrossed the room and sat next to Armageddon. "What's it about?"

"It's about horses, I think." Armageddon closed the book and dusted off the cover. Sure enough, there was a picture of a horse on the front along with a scribbled title; 'Horses: Wonders of the World'. "I don't know what it's about, though. I've never taken time to read it. All those other times I've read the more fictional books; the ones about travelers and their adventures."

"I love fiction books! They're my life! In fact, those kind of books inspired me to start my traveling!"

"Really? That's awesome! Looks like we have something in common. What's your favorite book? I like books about dragons and knights and stuff in general, but I don't have a favorite one. I just love to read! Brain excersize is fun! Armageddon was grinning like a fool, that smile probably not going to leave his face too soon.

"My favorite? That's like asking me to grow wings and fly! It's an impossible question to answer. Sometimes, when i'm reading a good book, I will sty up untill the sun starts to rise. I'm terrible."

"I've actually finished about an eight hundred page book in twenty-four hours. Normally I can't pull an all nighter, but when I'm into a book I can! Reading is a wonderous thing! How were you taught to read? If you don't mind my asking. I actually went to a scholar/tutor person and learned." Armageddon iked the subject of books and reading. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed when someone was talking to him about his favorite thing in the world. It was funny how he was normally reserved, but wouldn't shut up when someone touched on the subject of something he liked.

"My mother taught me when I was little. Well, before she died, anyway." Alea's smile faltered for just a moment. "She loved to read me bedtime stories. I guess I got my love for reading from her."

"I see. Would you like to see something that was passed down through generation and generation of my family?" Armageddon's smile was firm, not going to falter very soon. It had faded a little when the grim subject of death occured but it had shot right back. Standing up slowly, he walked into his bedroom. Depositing the book back on a shelf, he shoved his way to the back of them. Finding a small wooden trunk, he dug through the book and picked out an old thick one. This was the story of his really old ancestor.

"Sure!" Alea said, her smile springing back. She followed him to his room and waited to see what it was.
