Immortal - Carlisle/Biography

WIP

## Chapter 1: Carlisle came to the restaurant

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Boss, come here!

> *What's wrong?*

I followed Moonbell's scream and found the drunk Lord Carlisle there.

**[Cat] Moonbell**: He drank up all the Peach Wine in the cellar again!

> *Never mind...*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: No, we can't let him go! (Pointed at him) You've owed us so much money. You're not like an Immortal at all! I'm going to call the editor and make you tomorrow's headline!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: I'm not afraid of that. Come here, take a photo of my handsome face.

Carlisle sat up straight and made a pose before Moonbell and me.

> *...*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Damn it. (Took out a long bill) Boss, I'm going to mail this to Peachoo and asked her to deal with the jerk.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (He became sober at  once and followed Moonbell.) Wait! Let's talk!

**[Cat] Moonbell**: We have nothing to talk about.

They left. The empty cellar really hurt me.

## Chapter 4: Carlisle and Chill

Carlisle and the wine glass he bought from the vendor were old friends. They had been serving Lady Gaia since ancient times.

**[Ware] Chill**: Doggy, look at yourself! Just a waiter now? Shame on you!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Fine, fine. (Pushed him away) Go away. I'm serving the table.

Chill criticized Carlisle every day, but Carlisle didn't get mad at him at all. Instead, he treated him quite well.

**[Ware] Chill**: I have slept so many years and didn't expect that I would be sold by a vendor. I'm a shame of Lady Gaia.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Just let it go. We had been separated for so many years. If it weren't for the vendor, we couldn't have met again. That must be the blessing of Lady Gaia.

**[Ware] Chill**: Tell me why you would seal Knox? He was your old friend!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Knox... (Shrugged) I just wanted the Yokais and humans to live with each other peacefully.

**[Ware] Chill**:(Frowned) You always want to make things perfect, but fail all the time.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Smiled) You know me.

**[Ware] Chill**: What the hell do I know?

Chill almost freaked out.

**[Ware] Chill**: Though I was made by Lady Gaia, I spent most of my time staying with you and Knox. We drank and sang on the Great Mountain. Those days were so happy...

**[Ware] Chill**: But Lady Gaia sacrificed herself for the stupid humans, and I only had you and Knox.

**[Ware] Chill**: I can't understand why Lady Gaia abandoned us and chose them. I can't understand you either.

**[Ware] Chill**: In my mind, you and Knox were my whole world. How could you abandon each other and save others like Lady Gaia!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Calm down! Let's just forget those old things. Cheers!

**[Ware] Chill**: No!

## Chapter 5: True Friends

**[Flower] Peachoo:** Boss, how much does Carlisle owe you? I will pay for him.

> *It's you, Peachoo. You can ask Moonbell.*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: This is the bill. Peachoo, he doesn't deserve you. Leave him and come to me!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Hey, Peachoo is mine!

Carlisle came here and opened his arms to Peachoo.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: (Pushed him away) Stop that! I don't have enough money to make new clothes this month! This is your fault!

Peachoo was getting more annoyed as she said it out. She kicked Carlisle and couldn't help sobbing.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: You jackass!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Ouch! I'm the one who was kicked. Why would you cry?

**[Ware] Chill**: Doggy! How could you bully a girl!

Chill appeared and kicked Carlisle. There was a smile on his poker face when he saw Peachoo.

**[Ware] Chill**: Little girl, don't cry anymore. I'll beat him for you!

**[Flower] Peachoo**: (Surprised) Who are you?

**[Ware] Chill**: I'm Chill, the Ware of Lady Gaia.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: I heard about you from Carlisle.

**[Ware] Chill**: What did he say?

[flashback]

When Peachoo was still a peach tree in Shangri-la, Carlisle often lay under it when he was drunk, babbling about the things happened in ancient times.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: When I was new on the Great Mountain, the Azure Dragon always found fault with me. It was really annoying.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: But Knox and Chill would beat him for me. Gradually, the Azure Dragon even became my follower. Knox and Chill were really nice to me.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: But they are not with me anymore. I lost my best friends...

[present]

**[Flower] Peachoo**: So you are his best friend, right?

**[Ware] Chill**: ...

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Stammered) Chill, it hurts. How could you be so cruel to me?

**[Ware] Chill**: Because you bullied a little girl.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Why are you blushing?

**[Ware] Chill**: Doggy, where is she from? She looks like the peach tree planted by Lady Gaia on the Great Mountain. She is like an old friend.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: I brought her up. She is so pretty, right?

## Chapter 6: Feel Betrayed

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Boss, Roxy called. He's lost on his way to buy the materials.

> *Ask him to send me his location. I will go find him.*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Take a rest after a whole day's work, Boss. (Turned to see Carlisle) Lord Carlisle, you should do it.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Okay, Chill, go with me.

**[Ware] Chill**: Why?

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Just go.

The wheat was waving with the breeze like golden tide. Carlisle and Chill crossed the wheat field at sunset. They smelt the scent of food from a farmhouse ahead.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: It smells good! Let's find Roxy and go back to have dinner. (Turned around) Why are you standing still?

**[Ware] Chill**: (Squatted down) There's a little shrine here.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Walked there) It's shabby. How could you recognize it's a shrine?

**[Ware] Chill**: I have been here. I remember it.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: But you always stayed on the Great Mountain. When did you come here?

**[Ware] Chill**: (Looked at Carlisle) Do you remember you went down from the mountain once and didn't return for several days?

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Yeah, but I went back at last.

**[Ware] Chill**: You know nothing. Carlisle, you just left without a message. Knox and I looked for you worriedly.

**[Ware] Chill**: He heard this place was invaded by the Demon Clan when we passed by here. He didn't care about it at first. But after he smelt your power, he went to fight with the Demons at once.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: I did pass by this place. No wonder I saw he was injured and recovered for hundreds of years.

**[Ware] Chill**: Knox was admired by the villagers here after defeating the Demon Chief. They made this shrine for him, but that was not what he cared about, and he didn't intend to save them.

**[Ware] Chill**: He had to return without finding you, but didn't expect you had gone back already, and was taking a nap under the tree. Knox said nothing and asked me not to mention it ever.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Knox...

**[Ware] Chill**: How pathetic! He was admired because of his unintentional behavior, but you don't know his care about you at all.

**[Ware] Chill**: Carlisle, if you had known what Knox did for you, would you do that again?

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: It's pointless to say this. Let's go pick up Roxy.

## Chapter 7: Once Again

At midnight, Moonbell woke me up.

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Boss, wake up!

> *(Rubbed my eyes) What? Is it already morning?*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: The restaurant is on fire!

> *What? (Jumped up) Put out the fire!*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: It's not... common fire... It can't be put out... And...

Moonbell fainted in my arms before she finished her words.

> *Moonbell! Moonbell!*

In the chilling wind of midnight, Carlisle sneezed and opened his eyes to find himself in a deserted place.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: It's weird. Aren't I supposed to be in my room?

Carlisle stood up and saw two doors before him. He looked inside and saw flaming fire in them.

Screams could be heard in the fire.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Looked at the left door) Boss? Roxy? Moonbell?

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Looked at the right door) Divine Wetlands?

With good friends in one door and the lives of the Divine Wetlands in the other, it's a difficult choice.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Damn it! What happened?

Carlisle clenched his fists. After a short hesitation, he stepped into the right door.

**[Ware] Chill**: (Looking at him from above) Carlisle, you made this choice again...

## Chapter 8: Carlisle is under control.

The strange fire didn't burn all the things into ashes. When I woke up, I felt numb and saw everything was like before.

**[Fox] Roxy**: ZZZZZZ...

I turned around and saw Moonbell and Roxy sleeping. They were safe.

**[Ware] Chill**: (Showed up suddenly) It's just an illusion. Don't worry.

> (Option 1) *What do you want exactly?*

**[Ware] Chill**: I just wanted to see his choice... He's back.
> (Option 2) *When can they wake up?*

**[Ware] Chill**: One hour later. It's surprising that you woke up so quickly.
Carlisle came back and punched Chill in his face.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: What have you done? Don't think I won't beat you!

**[Ware] Chill**: (Wiped blood beside his mouth) Worried, huh? Since you chose the Divine Wetlands, you had to face the death of your friends!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Serious) Is it fun? You just abused your power. Don't you think you shamed Lady Gaia?

**[Ware] Chill**: I just wanted to see what's your choice. It turned out you still wouldn't choose your friends.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: The Yokais in the Divine Wetlands are all vulnerable. Since I'm responsible to protect them, how could I ignore their lives?

**[Ware] Chill**: How about Boss and other staff? They're so nice to you! Aren't they better than those chatty Yokais? Why would you ignore their lives?

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Are you insane?

**[Ware] Chill**: Forget it. I thought you would regret and free Knox. Then we could be like before...

**[Ware] Chill**: I think I have to do it by myself now!

Chill rushed towards Carlisle. Before Carlisle could make any reaction, he was overwhelmed by a strong power.

Suddenly, Carlisle couldn't control himself and moved in a weird way.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Go to, Arctic Prison...

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: And, Free Knox...

## Chapter 9: Stay in the Past

**[Flower] Peachoo**: Boss, what's wrong with Carlisle?

> *He's going to the Arctic Prison...*

I told Peachoo what happened between Chill and Carlisle. She became serious after hearing that.

> *My body is numb, or I could have stopped him.*

**[Flower] Peachoo**: Boss, Carlisle taught me how to remove the numb effect.

> *Great! Hurry up. We can still catch them up!*

I recovered with the help of Peachoo. We went towards the direction in which Carlisle left and finally stopped him.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: You silly! (Opened her arms to stop him) You can't go there!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Peachoo... I'm controlled by Chill. I...

Then Carlisle moved one step forward with great efforts.

> *It's not easy to free Knox. Controlling Carlisle is useless!*

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Chill's voice) I have the power of Lady Gaia. With the combined efforts of Carlisle and me, I can definitely free Knox!

**[Flower] Peachoo**: (Hugged him) No! You will destroy the whole realm!

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Go away.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: The world is meaningful and lively with so many lives. Both Carlisle and Lady Gaia knew this, so they would give up their friends and go save the world.

**[Flower] Peachoo**: I know you don't want to lose your friends, but everyone is just like you, they don't want to lose their friends either.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Still Chill's voice) I don't care. I just want to go back to the past, the past with Knox and Carlisle!

Chill controlled Carlisle to push Peachoo away but Carlisle stopped after a few steps.

**[Ware] Chill**: (Shocked) Carlisle, you...

With smoke coming out of Carlisle, Chill was forced to get out of him.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Lowered his head) Sorry, Chill.

The only solution was to dispel the spirit in his body, but that would hurt the spirit.

The spirit might be back to its initial state, or even disappear.

The spirit of Chill was like a mist, thin and light. He was floating in the air and looking at Carlisle from above. The sadness on his face was soon gone with the wind.

**[Ware] Chill**: Doggy, it turns out I'm the only one who is stuck in the past.

"!"

A wine glass fell down and broke into pieces. Chill's voice would never be heard again.

## Chapter 10: Peach Wine

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Boss, Carlisle drank up all the wine again!

> *(Shook my head) I'll handle it.*

**[Cat] Moonbell**: Ok, Boss.

After Moonbell left, I walked to Carlisle who was drunk badly. Though he drank a lot, I seldom saw he was drunk like this.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Burrrrp. (Looked at me) Look, Chill, the peach blossoms this year are pretty. Knox said he would give me a bottle of peach wine.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: You always say I'm stingy. How about giving you half of it?

> (Option 1) ...

> (Option 2) *Open your eyes. I'm not Chill.*

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Staggered and rubbed his eyes) You're not Chill. You're... Boss?

> *(Sighed) Lord Carlisle, I know you're blaming yourself, but if you didn't stop Chill, you would be more regretful.*

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Yeah, Chill is grumpy and stubborn. But as his only friend, I should have helped him out.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: I have Peachoo and you, but he had nothing.

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: If I had known his thoughts, if I could...

> *Carlisle...*

Looking at his disappointed face, I didn't know how to comfort him, only gave him the cracked wine glass.

> *Peachoo is worried about you. She tried to use her power to repair it and asked me to give it to you.*

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: (Surprised) I couldn't repair it. How did Peachoo manage it?

> *I don't know. She was tired after repairing it and is asleep now.*

Suddenly, what Gaia had told Carlisle came to his mind.

"I made some Peach Wine using the peach blossoms on the Great Mountain. I put it in this wine glass, and its power had been boosted a lot with the wine's nutrition."

**[Immortal] Carlisle**: Could it be... Boss, I got it...
