༄A week passes by. Caelestinus and I have been living inside the house for a week now. It has been the best days of my life and I pray with everything that the life that we have will never end. We have not yet gone into the town, but we will soon enough. He has gone on his own to buy things from there. While I stayed here. Caelestinus told me that soon I will be able to go there. "Why cannot I go now?" I ask him. He is preparing to go back into the town to buy some things.
He ever tells me what he will be buying until I find out when he comes back with his supplies. Often he buys fruit along with other type of food which I've never seen before. Most of it from merchants that have traveled far and wide. Caelestinus sighs as he looks at me. Walking over to me, his thumb goes under my chin to lift my head to face him. His eyes always so beautiful that it makes it hard to be without them sometimes. To not look at them. That is the hardest thing in the world I think.
"Freya, there are things happening in the town that I pray that you never have to see. It will only take a couple more days, and then we can go and explore. I truly do despise not allowing you to go. Seeing death and suffering like that will leave a mark on the soul. And you, and you have the purest one of all" He says to me. His eyes sparkle with truth and this joy and even love I believe it is. I give him a smile and take a step closer to him, wanting nothing more than to be in his arms.
"What is happening there?" I ask him. He has never told me what is happening in that town, beside now when he spoke of death and suffering. Caelestinus does not speak that much at all, I noticed. When I spoke a lot sometimes, he often does not say a word. He sighs once again. "I cannot tell you, it is not for the faint of heart" He tells me. Sometimes it feels that I am back in the tower. Caelestinus does not want me to leave the house for he says it is dangerous. "I am stronger than that" I tell him.
It pains me to have people, especially those that I love, think that I am nor strong enough to know things about the world. I am now living in the world and I believe that it is right for me to know what is happening. "I am no longer in the tower" I tell him. He takes my wrist and holds it. His thumb traces invisible patterns on my skin. "I know. I cannot fathom anything happening to you" He says. I sigh as I take my hand away from him and turn my back at him.
"That is what my mother used to say" I tell him. My mother used to worry every day and say that she could not handle if I got hurt. Now, he is saying it. "Forgive me, Freya. I do not know why, but I can feel that you are special, more than we can understand" He says to me. I turn my head to look into his eyes. I see the worry in them. "What is truly happening in the town?" I ask him again. If these bad things are truly happening, then I really want to know what these are.
"I should go now" Caelestinus speaks without answering my question. Then he turns around and walks out of the house. With me alone here like all the other times. This isn't the life that I had wanted for myself. I wanted to see the world and live out there in the world. I never wanted this house to replace the tower that I lived in my whole life. It is difficult for me to live here and not even live at all. If I thought this would be my life, then perhaps the tower would have been better than this.
I take a deep breath, and then I start to work on the chores that need to be finished for the day. It is still morning but even then there are chores that need to be done before the night appears. The house has to be kept tidy and food has to be made. There are a lot of things that need to be done. Magic does help a lot during the chores that are difficult for me. I make certain that not one sees and Caelestinus does not know nor see a thing.
