Cyrus's P.O.V
An ordinary day for me. Yes, since the practical joke Grogron, Telaendril and myself played on Antoinetta Marie and Lucien Lachance a few weeks back, Ocheeva decided that we were not allowed to leave the sanctuary for a month. Which also meant that we were allowed no contracts, which means total and utter boredom. It was only a small practical joke really, although it could be considered a very dangerous one. The joke was plotted after the monthly visit from our dear speaker. Now we all know (everyone in the sanctuary that is) that our dear Antoinetta has a little bit of a, shall we say an infatuation with Lucien. So while Lucien, Ocheeva and Vicente were in their meeting the three of us went in to the living quarters (in order to avoid being heard by Vicente) and started to plan out our little prank.
Flashback: The day of the visit
Telaendril and me were in the training room trying to avoid Antoinetta. Today was the day that Lucien, our sanctuary's speaker, was coming to have his monthly report from Ocheeva and from Vicente. This meant that Antoinetta, who was usually… er well quieter than she's being currently, was extremely hyped up and jumpy and making killer puppy dog eyes a the speaker. Telaendril was on the verge of letting her mouth run away from her again when Antoinetta was rambling away at her about Lucien Lachance. And she would have too, if I had not dragged her away to the training room to blow off some steam. I left Teinaava and M'raaj- Dar to deal with Antoinetta, may be a tad unfair abandoning them but I was close to snapping myself.
'Telaendril.'
'Stupid Antoinetta, by Sithis how does she think that she will ever end up with Lucien Lachance?'
'Telaendril.'
'Oh Lucien, you saved me from the gutters. Oh Lucien, I'll get you an apple oh and while I'm at it I'll spread my legs for you too.'
'TELAENDRIL!'
'WHAT!'
'Finally, I'm sorry to interrupt your angry mumblings but I have just had a rather brilliant idea'.
'Well what are you waiting for? Spit it out then, this brilliant idea of yours.'
'You know I don't appreciate that.'
'What?'
'The sarcasm.'
'Would you please just get on with it.'
Gogron then decide to burst in through the doors and nearly knock me flying.
'Ha ha, look at you two hiding in here. Antoinetta too much for you too handle? Ha ha.'
'Yes actually, on days like these I wish that Ocheeva would allow me to gag her and then look her in the storage closet.'
'Oh come now Telaendril, she's not that bad. Just ha ha young love.'
'Well if that's right, may I ask what it is that you're doing in here then Gogron? You clearly are not here for practice seeing as you don't have your axe. Perhaps, the big bad orc is looking for a hiding place as well hmmm?'
No no. If you must know I'm here to practice my .. urm.. magic yeah that's right I'm going to practice the new spell M'raaj- Dar taught me.'
' Well for starters you hate magic, almost as much as you hate bows and sneaking. Secondly, the spell M'raaj- Dar TAUGHT you? M'raaj- Dar hates teaching people, let alone people who are shall we say completely ignorant of the arcane arts. If you're going to try to lie to me, please try and put some effort into it.'
'Now look here mister I'm a high elf and I'm all high and mighty, I know stuff okay.'
'You know 'stuff' do you Gogron? Well then would you care to tell me who the current arch-mage of the mages guilds is then? Hmmm?'
' It's that guy.'
'Yes, and what would be that guy's name then?'
'Umm, well it's, umm'
'Oh by Sithis' naked ass would you two please shut the hell up! Cyrus you talk and tell us about this marvellous idea'
'Brilliant'
'What?'
'I said that it was a brilliant idea.'
……….
'What idea?'
'Gogron, shut it.'
'The idea Cyrus, what is it?'
' A practical joke, but in an advanced form and with much higher risks'
'A practical joke?'
' Yes, but not just any practical joke. One played on our dear Antoinetta and the speaker,'
'Interesting. Go on'
'Well it's just a few ideas at the moment, it needs to be planned out.'
'I'm listening.'
I was about to give the details when the door opens. Oh crap. Vicente.
I like reviews. Even if you don't like this chapter. Reviews help me get better. And nice reviews make me happy.
