A Father's "Love"

It had been a few day's since Delta had parted ways with Luna. During that time he had traveled back home to his family's home, located on top of a snowy mountain adjacent to Mt. Hakobe, off the beaten path and only able to be found if you have been there before.

"It's a bit nippy today." Delta said to himself as he trudged up the snowy slope. He could see his home on the horizon, looking as dim as always. The outward appearance made the home seem like an old war bunker. It was a low profile building made completely of cement and a heavy iron door. As Delta approached the door, he sighed. "Why father chose this as a base I would never know." He pushed open the door and walked inside.

The inside of the building was bare other than three doors in the far wall. Delta pushed open the door in the center revealing a stair case dimly lit by fire lacrima. Delta descended quietly, making sure not to make a noise as he got lower. After a minute of walking Delta reached another door, this time wooden and with an intricate design on the panels.

Delta had now reached the actual living quarters of the bunker. The hallway had two doors to the right, two to the left, and one straight across from the staircase. Delta came to the first door on the left and entered, revealing another hallway with doors leading to bedrooms. Delta made his way to his own bedroom to rest.

As he entered the bedroom, Delta fell flat onto his sleeping mat. "Ah... nice and warm." he said as he relaxed. After a moment or two, he noticed a note had been slipped under the door after he came in. Damn it. he thought. Delta picked up the note revealing what he knew was there.

Brother Delta,

''room for a debriefing of your mission. ''

Delta groaned as he read the note. "I thought I got in here quietly enough. Oh well... I guess father wants to see me." he said to himself as he crumpled up the note. He was putting it in his pocket with the idea of throwing it away later, but felt the other note he was keeping. He pulled it out quickly and made sure it wasn't damaged. ''I need to hide this note. I think I will keep it... here.'' he thought as he opened his trunk and gently pulled the liner away. He placed the note in a corner as to hold it up and tacked the liner back in place. "There" he said, closing the trunk. He turned towards his bedroom door and sighed. "Here we go I guess."
