“Good
morning..” A tall, black haired and very good looking man said, scratching
his head and yawning. “What are you doing?”
“Spying..” A woman with golden blond, wavy hair said as she looked over her
shoulder, her divine beauty was revealed.
“Oh?” The black haired man stepped lightly through the room and sat down
next to the girl.
“You know the big boss doesn’t like you spying.” He said, looking at her
with his deep brown eyes.
“Oh come on Jihan.. you know I can’t stop watching.. People are so much fun.”
The girl pouted softly as she looked at the man next to her.
“I know Lixue.” He caressed the girls hair softly as he pulled her close.
She snuggled closer as he wrapped her arms around her.
But about 5 minutes later, she got out of the loving embrace and started
watching again. “Look!” she squeaked pointing down violently.
“Watch out.. you’re going to fall down if you don’t calm down.”
“I can fly you know. I’m older then you.” The girl pouted again and kissed
her lover quickly.
Jihan sighed and asked “what was it that you saw?”
“Well.. look over there.” Jihan followed the pointing finger “You see that
man? He’s secretly in love with… that girl.” Lixue moved her finger to
another person.
“Oh?”
“You aren’t interested?”
“I just don’t see the fun in watching humans…”
“Oh come on… it’s fun. Sooo much fun.”
About a
million miles down, the man, also known as Pravin, glanced at the girl
searching for a book in the library of the college both of them were going.
He had a secret crush on her from middle school, but she hadn’t noticed him
at all.. her name was Haile. And she just stood out of the crowd with her fiery
red hair and bright green eyes. Her freckled face was always smiling, and
from the first moment Pravin had seen her, he fell head over heals with this
girl. He was a smart person, but his unrequited love was interfering with
his studies. He sighed, pushed his glasses back and went on reading about
computers. He was fascinated by these machines, but they couldn’t keep his
attention long. He felt his eyes drift back to the girl. He was surprised
when he saw that she was coming his way. Instantly he was blushing brightly,
and when she spoke to him, he first didn’t hear it.
“Euhm? What did you say?” He pushed his glasses back and felt himself blush
even more as he saw Haile’s smiling face looking down on him.
“I wondered if this seat was free?” She smiled even brighter. She was so
lovely..
“Sure.” He heard his own voice trembling. He coughed softly.
“Thanks!” she sat down and opened one of her books.
“Lixue..
Don’t you dare to interfere!” Jihan said, but it didn’t really matter. Lixue
was already speaking soft words, whispering what Pravin should say.
Jihan got up and walked away. There was no point in trying to get a
conversation going now. She was busy, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Euhm..”
He looked at Haile and blushed even brighter then before.. If something was
going to happen, now was the time. It was as if a little voice inside his
head told him to take action, told him what to do even, but our boy was so
far from his normal state of mind, that he wasn’t thinking at all. “What are
you reading?”
Haile looked up and smiled softly. “I’m reading about medicine.. I have to
learn..” she skipped through the book and then said “all of this..”
“That’s a lot..”
“Yeah it is.. what are you reading?”
“Euhm.. This..” Pravin showed her his book.
“Oh right.. I can’t even pronounce the title.” She giggled brightly. Pravin
blushed and looked uncomfortably.
”yeah…” he said.. trying not to let the conversation dye because of his love
for computers. Haile looked at him with her head tilted to one side a little.
She smiled lovingly and said: “Say Pravin.. How come you always act funny
when I’m around?”
“Uh..” He said.. Unable to say anything else.. “I.. uh.. You know my name?”
He said finally when the silence was getting to much.
“Yeah of course. We’ve been in the same school since middle school.” She
grinned. “Why won’t you ask me out?” she said softly, poking him softly.
“What would you say if we would have a drink?” He whispered with a tight
voice.
“Now
you’ve done it Lixue..” Jihan said as he looked over the shoulder of Lixue.
Lixue smiled softly and kissed her lovers cheek.
“They would have gotten together.. eventually.. I just speeded up their path.”
“Seriously Lixue.. Do you want to get us killed?”
“No? not really no.” She said looking innocent.
“Then stop it.” Jihan crossed his arms over his chest and looked angry.
“Ooh come on.. It’s just a little bit fun, it isn’t even interfering.. at
all..”
“It.. is..” Jihan said. He shrugged and turned on his heals. She was always
getting him into trouble.
“I love
this place!” Haile said happily as two hot steaming cups of coffee were
standing on the table. They were sitting on a bench in the corner of the
shop
“I like this place to.” Pravin said. Saying that he knew she loved this
place would just be wrong he thought.
“And this is my favourite taste!” Haile giggled and skipped a bit closer to
Pravin. Pravin reacted by blushing. “You’re cute when you blush..” Haile
said softly and kissed him quickly. Her own cheeks turned red for a second
as well. Pravin was almost fainting by now with a happy feeling.
Haile sipped her coffee, and looked over the place. It wasn’t really busy
today, and both of them should have been studying, but this was way more fun.
Besides.. She had liked Pravin for such a long time, but he had always tried
to get as far away as possible. Could it be he just was hopeless in love?
Haile smiled softly as she looked next to her. Pravin had pushed his glasses
back for about the 6th time in 10 minutes.. He was so nervous.
“Did you
make them kiss?!” Jihan said angrily as he watched together with Lixue.
“For somebody who isn’t really interested in humans, you’re really sticking
your nose into my business.”
“If the boss finds out that you have made them …”
“I didn’t. I like that girl. She did that all her self.” Lixue interrupted
Jihan, making him even more angry.
“I’m just going to make them disappear. At least that gives us a chance to
survive our bosses wrath!” Jihan started saying an incantation that could
only be heard by other gods, and suddenly both Haile and Pravin disappeared.
“But!” Lixue said, but was to late…
“Where the
hell are we?” Pravin said as both of them tried to get all the sand off
there clothing.
“I have no idea.. I mean I was enjoying a nice cup of coffee with you, and
now.. we’re in the middle of the desert?”
Suddenly a big shadow flew in the sky, making both of them look up.
“Whoa?!” Haile said.
“This can’t be..” Pravin whispered as both of them saw a mythical creature,
flying calmly through the air. It turned it’s big hear and looked at them.
Then it started going down.
When it landed, not so far from both of them, Pravin jumped in front of
Haile, almost falling to the ground because of his clumsiness and being held
up by Haile.
“Hi!” the rather strange dragon yelled as he got even closer.
“Hello!” Haile said happily.
Pravin looked at the girl behind him, who was still holding him up, and
whispered “It’s going to eat us. Don’t be so nice to it.”
“I don’t like human flesh..” The dragon muttered.
“But you’re a dragon.”
“Correction.. I’m a drak. A water drak to be precise.”
Haile let go of Pravin, making him fall on his butt. “Oh! I’m sorry!” Haile
said, trying to hide away her smile as she helped him up.
The water drak giggled, making it even harder for Haile not to laugh.
“Anywaysssh…” The drak said. “I like you Haile. Will you come to our castle
and pair with a drak?”
“But what about Pravin?”
“Well he can go to another castle. There is one not so far from here.”
Pravin opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by
screaming, and then a big cloud of dust. Pravin muttered and took off his
glasses to clean them again.
“I told you a thousand times! But nooo.. You wouldn’t listen!” When the dust
cloud vanished slowly, a male and female became visible. The man was making
big movements with his arms, and the girl was looking as if she had done
something wrong, pouting and almost crying. When the guy saw that, he
stopped, sighed and pulled her close.
Pravin, blessed with his glasses, could see the girl grinning as she was
held by him. He again opened his mouth, but the water drak was quicker.
“Hey!” It said happily, wobbling towards both of the strange looking humans.
The man pulled away the girl, and looked daring at the drak. “What do you
want Nishi?”
“Oh you know my name.”
“Of course.. before this, I could have done a lot more..” The girl sniffed
softly making the guy’s anger slip away.
“As I was saying to those two… Will you all go to a castle?”
“Yeah!” Both Haile and the blond girl said, hitting the guy holding her.
“Sorry Jihan!” She blushed softly.. kissing him quickly.
“No problem Lixue..” he whispered, clearly angry.
“Where would you take us?” Pravin asked the drak
“I would take you to Savana Castle, Haile goes with me to Wo Yao Fei.. I
think you Lixue are best going to Acicade Castle, and if you want to fly
with me, I can always take you to Chindor castle.”
“Wonderful” Jihan sighed. “I just knew when I woke up this was going to be
the most horrible day ever…”
With that said, all of them were dropped off at there castle.
At Acicade Castle
A patch of white and blue came lose from her mother's skin next. The baby
wind flapped her wings to show off the delicate dark blue that so prettily
contrasted with her bright white skin. She seemed to almost pose with every
step she took and finally rested in front of Lixue.
"You're beautiful." she smiled, "And I love you."
"And what might your name be?" Lixue, the mysterious goddess asked.
"Feounha."
At Chindor
Castle
Paggenis looked at the two,
shook her head and called out the next drakling: "Wallendisaw!" A little
night drak entered the bright sunlight. It didn't take him long to decide
who he wanted. He went directly towards Jihan. They didn't really talk to
each other, they just accepted each other and went on with their lifes,
together now.
At Savannah
Castle
Last egg, and
last aspirant were standing close to each other. The egg softly wobbled,
revieling some cracks. Pravin softly sat next to it, waiting. He had waited
on so many things. But this might have been a time to help faith a little.
He softly tapped the egg, making one of the cracks larger, enough to let the
drak break through and show his black and gold colours. Being a Night drak,
he said softly "My name is Wonasu."
At Castle
DesCas
Finally, when night was approaching, the doors to the Deep Cavern opened and
Water Nishi led her 5 draklings out. They followed her in a neat line of
awkward baby cute, with wingsails tangling and the odd tripping over their
own feet but the small parade managed to reach the spectators without much
trouble.
"You have been judged by ourss."
Nishi spoke, "But it isz them that will do the
final judging."
The first drakling stepped forward, a white and blue wind female with long
limbs and a narrow muzzle that looked like it was just right to sniff out
secrets found her way to Haile and said:
"I'm Rowyahi. Nisse to meet you."
