Zelos

Zelos stared down at the city from the balcony of his mansion. Things had been a little different for him since the church of Martel had slipped out of favor. He was still able to keep a reasonable position, and was still viewed as a bit of a hero as a result of the part that he has played in the defeat of Yggdrasill. He took a deep breath, taking in the Meltokyo air. The curtains behind him fluttered softly as a result of the breeze that was blowing through the city.

He turned slowly and leaned back on the railing, looking back into his room. A pair of girls lay naked and passed out under the covers of his bed. That was one thing that hadn’t changed that much, though he had expected it to. Even now that he wasn’t the great chosen, he was still a hit with all of the ladies. He ran a hand through his hair as he continued to watch the two sleeping beauties on his bed.

He adjusted his pants a bit as he walked back into the room. He sighed softly as he looked to the bed. Yeah, they had been nice, but they hadn’t been what he really wanted. He pulled on the pink coat that he had hung on the coat rack when he had come in and sighed as he pulled it closed in front of him with the white sash.

He missed the adventure. He missed the danger. He missed being the chosen. He missed being viewed by everyone as the great hero who was going to save their world. Most of all he missed his friends. They had stood up for him, they had helped him, they had fought with him.

Zelos sighed as he looked around the main room of his mansion now. This didn’t really make him happy. He was just boxing himself in, creating a fake world for himself. He walked over to an umbrella stand and pulled out his sword, in it’s sheath and slipped it into the sash at his side. He sighed softly as he looked up at the butler who wandered up to him as he was getting ready to leave.

“Will you be taking a midnight stroll, sir?” The butler asked.

“Yeah…I’m not sure when I’ll be back…when the girls wake up…I don’t know, give them some jewelry or something and send them on their way.” Zelos said softly. He then turned and walked out onto the streets of Meltokyo.
