"Are You Scared……?"
Artha was rudely awakened by Mortis, "wha…..."he asked
groggily, "there's trouble in underground Dragon city, I need you
and kitt to go down there and sort everything out" "why kitt?"
artha asked even though he was hoping with all his heart that mortis
would not change his mind and ask someone else to go with him, he had
liked kitt since the day he saw her and according to parm and lance,
drooled every time she entered the room. Mortis chuckled to himself
as he heard this question, he knew that artha was in love with kitt
and had suspicion that kitt was too. The other reason to send kitt
was "look artha you know that kitt is the only one with experience
and the only one capable to come with you and help you out with this
mission, it could take two to three days and neither lance or parm
could last that long." Hearing this artha immediately got out of
bed and went to wake kitt up, he did this from a distance so that he
would not be slapped across his face as this is what happened every
time artha woke kitt up "early" well at least according to
her……….. Seeing this mortis smiled to himself and hoped that
artha and kitt would set everything straight. Meanwhile Artha had
managed to get kitt up without getting slapped and explained what
mortis had told him. She nodded and got out of bed and artha went to
get everything ready, while he was doing this mortis pulled kitt
aside and told her "kitt, please take care of artha and make sure
both of you don't get into trouble, also promise me that both of
you wont get into any arguments while you are there, we cannot afford
both of you getting into a fight as it
might be extremely dangerous, because the enemy might take advantage
of this and try to capture one of you ok?" Kitt smiled and replied
"don't worry mortis I'll…we'll try our best not to get into
any fights while we are there" she had come to think of mortis as a
father since the past year that she had been with artha and the rest
of them, and parm and lance as brothers as for artha, well……. She
had liked him for sometime now but whenever she tried to tell him her
courage ebbed away, she kitt wonn, a racer that could take on the
toughest opponents on the track could not tell a boy how she felt
about him. Secretly she was happy that both of them could go on a
mission together and she also hoped that while they were there she
could tell him how she felt, she remembered that time when she had
come to know that artha was the dragon booster-"so are we
friends again……." Artha asked sheepishly, she smiled "yeah,
wait a minute….. Friends? Friends share secrets, so is there
anything else I should know "dragon booster" huh is there?"
artha rubbed the back of his head guiltily, he looked so cute when he
did that, then lance burst out "yeah, the fact that he totally
likes you!!!" she looked at artha surprised, who was now glaring at
lance…- as for that memory she hoped that it was true. Meanwhile artha had gotten everything ready and went
to say goodbye to lance and parm who had just gotten up and were
surprised to see artha and kitt up before them as it was usually the
other way round. "how come you two are ready and up before us,
isn't it usually the other way round?" lance asked surprised,
kitt looked at artha and both of them burst out laughing, "yeah
lance but this time mortis told me and kitt that we have to go
underground as there is some disturbance there, we'll be back in
about two or three days ok? So both of you stay out of trouble until
then." Kitt nodded as both of them looked at her. "Well it's
about time we left" kitt nodded and followed him out, mortis, lance
and parm followed suit. Artha and kitt saddled their dragons and
artha got down to give lance a hug, kitt smiled as she saw this, he
had always been so protective about his brother, and was so sweet to
see him like this. After saying goodbye to lance artha turned towards
parm and said goodbye, parm nodded and whispered something into his
ear.
After hearing this artha turned red and nodded, she was surprised and
said "come on artha we ought a get going" he nodded and got on
top of boe and both of them rode out of the gate.
