"Well, I expect as much but still…" Said Alfonso with a heavy sigh.
Its been a few hours since Alfonso and company returned to Wasteland Valley, of course, everyone was very happy and a huge party was going on, everyone in Wasteland Valley was invited. Of course, it was just a simple bonfire, however, to the Amazons and the people was a huge opportunity to know each other, the Amazons had a huge blow in the previous fight, so relaxing a little was a perfect way to forget and enjoy, at least for so ti.
The Amazons spread the heroic(exaggerated) tale of Alfonso and the others and how they defeated the son of the king of the Jubila Forest, Drako. To Everyone in Wasteland Valley, especially the kids, was an amazing and inspiriting story, the older ones were elated, the soldiers were prideful and the kids were fascinated, of course, there were so people who didn't believe it, but, it was only a minority.
While everyone was enjoying and celebrating, back in the manor, there were three individuals who were not precisely in the mood…
"As I said, the situation got out of hands, it was inevitable!" Said Alfonso.
"It's not an excuse! How dare you co back almost blind! Do you want to die that bad!?" Said one woman who had both of her hands across her chest, although her face was calm, Alfonso could see that she was enraged.
"My lord, this is not a matter or not you had to do it, the fact is, WHY you had to participate when things go south, you could have called us, instead you decided to fight an impossible battle! Is already a miracle that you ca alive!" Said the other woman who was grabbing Alfonso's collar.
"I admit that I was a little bit over-optimistic, however, we managed to solve everything, and we gain an important ally! Plus, we received the protection of soone for three years, aren't both of you overreacting!?" Said Alfonso.
"Overreacting!? You go for two months and you co back injured and with twenty-sothing won behind you, how do you expect to feel!?" Asked Deter.
"What's more, you hide from us that you could use the power of ti, do you think that Chronos is so much of a nice guy that he will let you have his inherence!? If he doesn't have an agenda, then my na isn't Artemis!" Said Artemis.
Alfonso had been arguing with Deter and Artemis since he ca back, at first, they were touched at seeing him, Deter gives him a big hug while Artemis made a small and yet candid smile, however, they imdiately notice that sothing was different about Alfonso. At first, Alfonso wanted to fool them, however, he failed miserably, Artemis was the first to notice the problem in Alfonso's eye, Deter check out with her soul power and discover that Alfonso hadn't said all the true to Cat one, he indeed had a problem with the profoundness, however, he had also develop so Astigmatism and Myopia, in consequence, he couldn't see well.
"If you want to die that badly, then, at least, save us the pain of watching you destroy yourself and die sowhere alone!" Shouted Deter.
She left the room with so tears in her eyes.
Alfonso didn't say anything, however, he wasn't going to apologise, after all, he didn't think that he was wrong, he did what he had to do, however, he didn't feel good about it.
"Did I make a mistake?" Asked Alfonso.
Artemis didn't say anything but when to the door.
"Deter… and I… aren't mad for the reasons you believe" Said Artemis without turning back.
Alfonso listened.
"Is it your nature, you prove it back in Tulip town, that's how you are, however… Just because you can, it doesn't an that you have" Said Artemis "What sad us, is that you didn't stop for one second that, there are people who care and think about you, if you died back there, who is going to take your place in mine and Deter's life?"
She closed the door.
"If you aren't able to understand that, then, you are exactly like my father"
The sad voice of Artemis vanished in the air and made Alfonso perplexed.
He stood there for so ti before laying down on his bed, he wasn't sleepy, he just wanted to rest.
"You tell that I was wrong, however, you don't tell what the right answer is, fuck… I hate this feeling" Though Alfonso.
He wasn't stupid, he knew exactly what he was feeling.
Guilt.
He didn't feel guilty of saving the Amazon Tribe, but, for so reason, the guilty sensation he had won't go away.
"Why didn't I ask for help? I had the ti…"
"Why didn't I invoke Perseus before… why did I wait until the last second?"
"Why did I had to went so far for people that I barely know?"
Alfonso though of these questions while touching his eye, suddenly a thought ca to his mind.
"YOU ARE ARROGANT"
Alfonso though a lot and finally ca to a conclusion.
"Indeed… I am arrogant, just because I have so powers, it doesn't an that I am an invincible…"
"Just because you can it doesn't an that you have… haha, Artemis, you know better than myself sotis…" Murmured Alfonso
That night, for the first ti in a long ti, Alfonso didn't sleep.
He went to Artemis and Deter's room first thing in the morning.
He didn't apologise for what he did, however, he did apologise for the reasons for his actions.
