Ares: Never Grow Up
S2-Who is Rafleo?

"Let's go in dong" said Riot again with a grin on his face. I closed my eyes and swallowed my own saliva with great difficulty.

Why is the hallway so dark?!

***

POV: Ares

Map ... tap .. tap ...

With a slow and hesitant step, I stepped into this super dark passageway. The closed apartment door, with the dim light of my lantern, made its own horror atmosphere in the heart. Riot clasped the shirt behind me tightly, and behind Riot was Vani, then there was Safa, and the back was Ken.

"That's right .. there's nothing!" I said as I glanced to my left side.

"Right ... Ares ... Can't you make a lamp?" riot asked in a slightly frightened tone.

"Agreed ... This .. is too dark," added Vani who was hiding behind Riot's back. I sighed and put my lantern on the floor.

"Alright .. I will make the lights," I said resignedly.

"Well? How do you open the lights?"

I turned to my right side, looking at a boy with gray hair and red eyes, who was heading towards me by dragging his feet.

...

Relax Ares ... This is not a ghost .. right?

"YYYYYY!" Vani suddenly shouted loudly.

"YYYYYY!" Riot who was shocked because of Vani's scream so join in shouting.

"YYYYYYYYY?!" Safa was also shocked to hear the screams of the two boys.

"..." - ".While Ken was pecking with his eyes that remained open.

Shit ... gone are my attempts to stay calm.

"STOPIII!" I screamed loudly, Vani, Riot, and Safa's cries came to a halt, and Ken instantly fainted.

"Ken?!" Panicked Riot saw Ken pass out, immediately running towards Ken and patting him on the cheek a few times.

I just sighed tiredly, then looked at the child beside me earlier. I crouched down and picked up the lantern on my left side, now .. I could see his face more clearly.

White and thin face, pale skin and a little thin, gray hair that has been rather long, and unique red eyes ... both of his legs were unusable.

He reminds me of Elly.

"Hi? What's yourname?" ask the kid. She just kept quiet and then turned her hand to me.

"Are you Rafleo's friends?" ask the boy. I tilted my head slightly and looked at the child in confusion.

"Rafleos? Who-who"

Brak!

Unfinished I spoke, a child with blond hair and shabby clothes came in haste.

Wait ... blonde hair? Kinda wavy?

...

THE KID THAT WAS?!

"Rafle! Are they your friends?" The child in front of me immediately asked the blonde-haired boy who was named Rafleo.

"No!" rafleo said with an angry expression.

Greb.

I turned to the boy next to me who was now touching my shoulder, his red eyes looking at me with a sharp and probing gaze.

Whahuh? I ... thrown?

I look around me. Now I fell off a skyscraper.

Damn, so the power of the child was .. similar to Riot?! He can move people with his abilities.

I immediately turned my back and began to use my flying ability.

Fyutta!

I stopped in the air, looking for where the apartment building my friend and I had entered. But because there were too many similar buildings, I became confused and finally could not find where the building was.

Fuuts.

"Whoops!"

Deg.

"Riot?" I was shocked when I heard Riot's voice behind me. He immediately smiled brightly and immediately clasped my left arm.

"I found you! Let's goback!"

Fuuts.

Bruk!

I fell back into the apartment earlier, along with Riot who immediately held back so that my body did not collapse forward. The red-eyed child with gray hair was staring at us intently.

"Actually who are you?! Why did you get in here?!" ask her in a scary tone. Safa started to come forward and was about to speak, but the boy named Rafleo stopped us in the middle.

"Wait, I'm sorry. He's my friend, his name is Endo. And Endo, they're ... my future friend?" Rafleo introduced us in a confused tone. Moreover, the gray hair child who turns out to be named Endo is a unique expression.

"Candidate .. friend? What DO YOU MEAN - OH DON'T-DON'T THEY FROM OUT OF TOWN?! HOW DID THEY GET IN?!" Endo asked enthusiastically, his gaze instantly fixated on Riot's blue eyes staring at Endo with a hateful gaze.

"Now you're conscious, right? How do we get in?" ask Riot with emphasis in each sentence. Endo was instantly speechless and slightly pouted, guilt evident in both of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were the man's minions, so I immediately threw you out without any consideration" Endo replied in a clear tone. I sighed and smiled at Endo.

"I'm fine, so you don't have to feel guilty. By the way .. I'm sorry if my question is pretty presumptuous. But ...

Are you paralyzed?" I asked as I stared at Endo's feet lying on the floor. The Endo who was asked only smiled then laughed briefly. "Yep, as you can see! But this doesn't matter, I can teleport to make a move!" the answer is so simple and carefree.

Ken and I looked at each other, as if understanding what I meant, Ken nodded and walked towards Endo. "Excuse me." Ken stared at Endo for a moment before he started touching Endo's feet.

A BLAR!

A green blaze began to appear quite large, large enough to illuminate this passageway. Endo, who was shocked to see that his legs were burned, immediately cried out in panic.

"AAAAAAAA WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" yelled Endo while trying to hit Ken.

Taps!

But Vani manages to hold Endo's hand, he looks at Endo with a gentle look and says to him, "Don't worry, Ken has the power to heal, he'll make you walk again." Vani said in such a gentle and caring tone. Unbelieving Endo hears Vani's answer, his eyes begin to glaze over.

"really? Can I really walk? I. ... haven't felt the walk even since I was born." Endo closes his eyes and holds Vani's hand, finally allowing Ken to fully treat himself.

"You ... treat Endo? Wh why? Didn't you just know each other? Endo did you guys bad, too?" Rafleo asked me with a difficult-to-understand eye. His gaze was .. as if he was judging someone. His eyes seemed to compare what was evil and what was good.

"Really, then? Aren't I still okay? Means Endo didn't count on hurting me. Do you need a reason even though you are new to know? We even helped people without knowing them.

You did that too, right? Like helping grandfather to cross the highway," I replied with a smile at Rafleo. A second later, the boy smiled, his eyes looking shady and so sincere.

"Looks like you're really good people."

TBC.
