Mythran's Master Of All

Ren woke up several hours later, and discovered that he was alone in the bed. “Huh? What?”

“Hi, Ren.” Teepo said.

Ren sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Where's Elerlyth?”

“Elerlyth left an hour ago.”

“Why didn't she wake me?” Ren asked and moved to the end of the bed. “Why didn't you wake me?”

“She said you needed your sleep.” Teepo said. “She also asked me not to.”

“Teepo, you're my friend.” Ren said and stood up. “But this is the second time you've done something like this to me. First with Nathalia, and now with Elerlyth.”

“I... I know.” Teepo said, and he felt Ren's anger.

“You will not do this to me again.” Ren said, suppressed his anger, and remained calm. “You are supposed to help me, not hurt me.” He said. “You will do your job and wake me when it's necessary. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Ren.” Teepo said. “I'm sorry.”

Ren took a deep breath and let it out, then equipped his Travelling Clothes. “Did she tell you where she was going?”

“She said that a friend had messaged her and she needed to go.” Teepo said. “She also said to tell you not to worry, and that she would see you again soon.”

“Well, that's just great.” Ren said through gritted teeth. “That means she's going into danger and she didn't want me along.”

“But...”

Ren concentrated on Elerlyth. “Elerlyth, where are you?”

“Elerlyth, where are you?” Ren heard his own voice repeated from beside the bed. He walked over to the dresser and picked up Elerlyth's Spider Aura brooch. “She didn't want me following her, either.” He said and stored the brooch, despite the urge he had to crush it; then he left the apartment at a fast walk.

Teepo flew behind him and didn't even try to take his normal perch on Ren's shoulder. Ren went down the stairs and saw that the Mayor's door was open. He looked in and saw that Patty was there.

“Good morning, My Lord.” Patty said.

“Good morning.” Ren said, not quite happily like he usually spoke.

“She said you would be angry.” Patty said and handed him a note. Ren took it and read it.
