Chapter 190: Archi’s big mission

The grass rustled as Archi stepped on them. He went towards a rock, and sat down. It was getting dark, and the evening breeze was chill, and blowing gently.

He sighed, and held his chin, waiting for Thane to arrive. He exhaled gently.

He kept thinking of Oberon. He was so excited the day he realized he had a father, but never knew such a man would be his very own father.

He shook his head in self pity, "Such a pity," he said to himself, and shook his head.

"How are you?" He felt a hand on his shoulder.

He looked up, and saw Thane smiling down at him.

"Oh, Thane you are here. How is it going?" He got to his feet, and shook his hand, a slight smile was on his face.

"I brought them," he handed him a bag containing his clothes, "Here you go. Your father would mistake the scent, and think you are someone else, but you have to think of something to do with your face."

He nodded, "I could take care of that," he scratched his head, and tried to smile again.

"Is something wrong?" Thane sat beside him.

"My mother... I just feel so hurt, and," he held his head, and exhaled, "Now that I am about to go, who would take care of her? There is no way I would allow her to come to the palace with me."

Thane hit his head, "Are you stupid? Why do you have me?" He asked sternly.

Archi groaned, and looked up at him, "Why did you hit me? Oh come on," he sighed.

"I can take care of her, you do not have to worry about her. She is in safe hands."

Archi smiled gently, "Thank you Thane. What would I do without you?"

Thane wrapped a hand around his shoulder, "You do not have to worry about anything. Just go, and do whatever you want to do, and be done with it," he patted his back.

"Thank you Thane."

He handed Thane a bag, "Here, these contains my clothes. You can..."

"Oh, that.." he laughed nervously, and he took it from him.

Thane held his hand, and squeezed it, "Please Archi, take care of yourself."

Archi smiled, pulled him into a hug, "I will, I promise," he whispered in his ears.

"And do not worry about your mother, I will make sure she is fine. Incase you need anything, make sure you reach out to me."

Archi exhaled gently, "What would I literally do without you?" He squeezed his hands.

"Nothing of course. What can you do if I am not with you?" He grinned.

Archi rolled his eyes, "Oh please," a smile played around the corners of his lips.

Thane patted his back, "I wish you lots of luck."

"Goodbye?"

Thane sighed, and looked away, "Goodbye," he was the verge of tears, but he did not want Archi to see his tears.

Archi tried to smile, "I am not leaving forever Thane, do not act all dramatic."

"What? I am not being.. dramatic," he wiped the corner of his eyes.

"I love you."

Thane embraced him again, this time harder, "I love you so much," he whispered, "Take care of yourself," he sniffled.

Archi chuckled, and ruffled his hair, "I will, and please take care of my mother."

"I definitely will."

He turned on his heels, and walked away while Thane watched him with a small smile on his face.

"Where are you going?" Nyx asked Archi who was busy arranging his stuffs in a bag.

He turned to look at her, "Mother," he groaned, "I thought we talked about this?

She sniffed, "Are you leaving today? What is supposed to happen to me?"

He held her shoulders, and tenderly kissed her forehead, "Thane would come around. I have asked him to take good care of you, nothing is going to happen to you okay?" He pulled her into a hug.

"Archi... Please do not leave me," her voice broke.

"Please mother, I have to do this," he squeezed her hands, "We have already talked about this. Do not take me back," he sighed gently.

Her eyes watered, and she covered her mouth, "I.." she inhaled sharply.

He took her hand, and led her to a chair, "Please sit mother."

She sat down still clutching to his hand. He sat beside her, "I have already made a promise to myself, that I would make sure that you are avenged in every way. I am a man of words, and I will make sure I keep to my promise."

"Archi... I do not want anything to happen you. What if something bad happens? Or Oberon finds out about your plan, and decides to execute you?" Her grip on him tightened, "I do not want anything to happen to my child, you are the only one I have got, I do not want to lose you," she broke down in sobs.

He bit his lips, and pulled her into an embrace. He hated it.. I hated it whenever she cried. It made him want to slice Oberon open, and rip his insides out, considering the fact he was leaving her because of what Oberon had done.

He clenched his fists, "You will not lose me mother. This is another promise I am making to you."

Her lips quivered as she pulled away, "Please take care of yourself," she gulped.

He nodded, "I certainly will. Do not worry about me okay?"

She sniffed, and he brushed a tear away from her left eye.

"I love you mother," he squeezed her hands, and gave her a wide smile.

She calmed down a little bit, and nodded, "I love you more," she cleaned her face.

He exhaled, "Permit me to leave mother," he said softly.

She looked away, trying so hard to stop her tears that were threatening to fall.

"Please do not cry," he gulped, "Please," he knelt before her,still holding her hands.

She inhaled sharply, "Take.. take care of yourself."

"Yes mother. Take care of yourself too. I will make sure Thane checks up on you regularly."

She got to her feet, and made him stand up, "May the moon goddess be with you my light," she cupped his face.

He held her hand, "Thank you mother. I love you. Goodbye."

As he said those words, her eyes watered again, and she placed a hand over her mouth, the words too heavy for her to say, "Good..." She snorted, "Goodbye my son," she said in between sobs.

He embraced her again for the last time, "I love you."

"I love you too. Be safe."
