Notes at the end

The light fades from the night sky as the moon takes over, allowing us to continue our festivities. Most of Elkia is celebrating its glorious new rebirth with the new king. Me I plan to celebrate for the old king, thankful that he guided us only so far. We were all terribly sad with his passing, and most of us were perplexed by the thought that the Ex-Princess wasn't going to be queen. She informed us all at a conference that the new successor had to win and beat the other opponents for the crown. 

The poor girl looked torn apart when she made the announcement because many of us cheered, besides me of course. I may have my faith in humanity and I love money just as much as the next man, but I held compassion and gratefulness for the way the old king helped me. He gave me a place to work, right alongside him, so that I could learn what it takes to be a true Human.

He gave me a home, food, and water until I was ready to work. He was compassionate towards everyone else, that we had to mourn his passing as a kingdom, one final time before the new king would come. We had a 24-hour festivities which ended with a lighting of candles and sending them across the lake. The water shimmered and shinned, as we watched the flames dance across the surface. It gave off the reflection of our solemn faces. That night we all changed, when a gust of wind flew over us, sending blossoms everywhere and across the water's surface. It felt like he was truly there that night.

The sun dances across the mountain in waves, showing the moon at its highest point tonight. I realize that a few hours have gone by and I stand up. Tonight is important because I have to make sure no one injures themselves going back into there homes. Which means no drinking away my sorrows tonight. I stand up and grab my plate before heading back inside to my room. I grab my doctors uniform and a black button up. I slip on the button up before the white coat. I pull out some colored powder and I shuffle it throughout my hair, layering it into different places.

Outside the streets are buzzing with excitement, inside there is nothing by solemness. I lay my plate in the sink and I grab my satchel. I twirl my key around my knuckles before I lock my door, before putting it back into my bag. Tonight I also have to go help some orphans out, so that they are healthy for there yearly checkups. I started doing this ever since I came across them the first time. They saved my life, and I swore I would protect them like they were my own. Sadly I cant do illegal adopting so that left me giving them check-ups and clean food, water and clothes.

The lights twinkle and sway in the light breeze as I walk across the bridge, leading to the underground homes that I helped build the previous summer. I finally find the drop point and I stand there, waiting for Marshall to appear. Marshall is one of the kids I first helped. He was on my doorstep, wounded severely from I don't know what and I helped him back to help. He couldn't pay me at the time, so I told him to repay me in showing me where he lives. Ever since then I have always tried to help the kids, whether they get found out or not.

I sit down in the clearly marked dirt and wait to feel his presence. Someone taps my shoulder and I am brought out of my trance and I quickly look up to see its Marshall, wearing a solemn face."Whats wrong Giovane?"

"The king found out about us 20 minutes ago. He followed us from our hideout on our way to you. So, now he's waiting in the dark for us to finish so that he can help' build us new homes'."

"King, come out now before you face my wrath. I do not handle followers easily."I growl. I was hoping these kids wouldn't get caught. Sadly they did and now the repercussions are tremendous.

I saw the smirk, and red hair before I actually saw him. Looking cocky as always, sadly royalty wouldn't go for someone like me. "Whats wrong, town Physician? I thought you were gonna give us a checkup?"

"In 4 WEEKS. Look the kids don't need this right now, so if your gonna be a complete ass please leave, because I can't deal with that and sick kids, understand."

"Now hold on, since when did you start bossing me around?"

"Since you started following me, on a day that was being celebrated by the townsfolk who believe in you. Maybe you should after them, instead of following me."

"If I did that," He says walking closer, his smirk prominent on his features. He stands right in front of me, his breath ghosting my face,"Then I wouldn't be able to spend time with my new favorite Doctor. You did say that we would be seeing a lot from each other while I am in reign right? Well, what better time to start making friends with the Doctor then the night I officially met him."

"Sure..... It's not like you want to get into someone pants,"Princess Shiro says. I smirk at her and we mentally high five. I walk away and towards where Giovane, and I talk in a mere whisper with him for a few minutes, time ticking away.

We finally decided to just let them follow us, and let them see the poverty here in Elkia. I mean they could probably do something about it now, then when we had our foolish king who made preparations in private. "You can come with us,"I say, seeing his face light up,"But, you have to promise me you will find a way to help these kids. They need a home and good food, and better shelter, and better water then what they have now. I mean 10-Year-olds have to work to make sure they have an income.". They nod, before whispering to each other.

I take that as my sign to walk with Giovane, and we walk along the water's edge, keeping our feet dry, while theirs are probably wet already. I can hear them still speaking, and looking around,s making notes on this place. 

I completely forgot what was going on until we stopped right in front of a sign stating'catacombs'. I look back at them before speaking"Welcome to the Catacombs. Its where we hold one of my offices, herbal counter, and their hideout. Please don't step on anything. Thanks.". I see the smile awkwardly, and we move away the sign saying'keep out', and 'stay out' and enter the building leading to the underground. Oh, how joyous.
