Chapter 2
There were no horses at the house at the end of the world. Why would there be? If the people who lived there wanted to go somewhere then all they had to do was go through a door.
Althalus retraced his steps that he took a long time ago. Every step he took killed him inside. Each step he took was placing him one step further away from Emmy. Emmy who was pregnant with his child.
As Althalus passed the place where he met god he kept a close eye around. If he was caught now…
'Stop,' a voice said.
'Too late,' Althalus muttered.
'Why did you hurt her? I thought I told you to not hurt her?' God said.
'You did. I don't know what I did. One day she was all happy and now she is yelling at me!' Althalus said. He tried not to cry but a couple of tears leaked out. The god softened down a bit when he saw that Althalus was not in the mood to get into a fight about it.
'I will see why she is angry with you. Until then I suggest that you disappear,' he said and Althalus nodded, solemn.
Another step forward.
Another step away from Emmy.
And another from his unborn child.
