Chapter 2: The Morning


The next morning…

"Itai! I have a huge headache…" Thatz moaned he sat up and looked around. "Why am I on the couch? I feel that I should be remembering something…oh well I'm going to the kitchen to grab something to eat."

Thatz then got up and walked into the expansive kitchen… where ever it is…

Kitchel entered the living room just as Thatz left it, "Hey Thatz," she said not looking at the couch. "Are you ready yet?"

Kitchel looked at the couch to see an area where Thatz should've been but wasn't. "Huh? Where's Thatz?" Kitchel scratched her head. "Oh well! I have bigger fish to fry."

With that the thief turned around to fry whatever fish she had.

With that Kitchel turned around to go do whatever it is that her bigger fish were.

Ringleys flew into the kitchen rubbing his hands together. "Time for a snack…" he murmured. Ringleys stopped in mid-flight when he saw Thatz. "Oh hell…"

Thatz obliviously opened the refrigerator "Now…what to eat…"

Ringleys grinned when he realized that Thatz hadn't noticed his presence and flew away very quietly.

Meanwhile in a very pink room Kitchel was deliberating what to pack. What to pack… what to pack… she thought as she paced in front of her lacy pink bed. The thief faced said bed and looked around. God I have a girly room… Wait… "Oh! I know!" Kitchel cried out as her face lit up. The thief then pulled out a large suitcase from under her bed and started tossing things into it. Normal people probably cannot comprehend how having a pink room tells one how to pack, but no one ever said that Kitchel was normal.


In another room there was another type of deliberation going on…

"Hey Cesia!" Rath cried while plopping himself down on a large king sized bed. "Are you excited about the show?" he asked while watching his wife pack a large suitcase.

Cesia paused from her folding and started a low sinister laughter. "Of course I am, now I get to exact MY REVENGE! Hehehehehehehe…."

"Err…" Um, Cesia's being weird again… What do I say at a time like this? Rath began. "Good… job… my dear?" he tried. Now I can only hope for a change of subject….

Oh dear… Rath's trying to be supportive obviously he's at a loss for what to say. Time for a subject change! "So…" Cesia began. "How will we be getting there?"

The dragon knight's face lit up with an evil grin. "I have it taken care of," he elusively replied. It's going to be so much fun!

Cesia replied without batting an eye, "Why do you have to torture Alfeegi so much?" Not that I blame him, being raised by people like Lykouleon and Ruwalk…

Rath put his pointer finger on his chin. "Hm… Why DO I like to torture Alfeegi so much?" He snapped his fingers. "Oh yeah! It's fun!"

Cesia blinked. That works… "You've got that right"


One hourglass' life passed. (Hey! I wanted to use something other than "one hour later")

Rath brandished his sword in the air. "Everybody ready?" he asked.

Tetheus, Ringleys, Kitchel, and Cesia nodded their heads yes.

Um… I guess that's everyone… "Then let's g—"

"Hold on one moment… Where's Thatz?" Tetheus logically asked.

Ringleys sighed, So much for the idea of everyone leaving Thatz behind making me the winner by default…

Kitchel clenched her fist. "Why that little…" she muttered. Oh shoot! I said that out loud! That totally clashes with my 'reformed' thief image. Damn! "I-I mean, I'll go get him. Hehe?"


In the kitchen Thatz was singing a song to the tune of "Sand, Sand, Sand" sung by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

"Food, food, glorious food… I can stick it in my mouth I can eat it in a chaaaiiirrrr!" he cried.

The 'reformed' thief stormed into the room yelling at the top of her lungs "THATZ YOU IDIOT! AREN'T YOU READY YET!"

"Huh?" the earth knight asked confused. Why am I being dragged by the neck AWAY from the kitchen? "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I haven't finished my breakfast yet!" he screamed.


Back at the helicopter pad everyone was waiting. Some patiently, some not so patiently. At the sight of Kitchel Cesia straightened her posture, clapped her hands and commanded, "Into the helicopter!"

Kitchel threw Thatz into the back seat. "Okay, I'm ready! Let's get this over with!"

Everyone then piled into the helicopter, buckled their seatbelts, and settled in. The propeller started to spin and the helicopter was just beginning to take off when suddenly—

"Wait a minute…" Thatz thought aloud. "Who's flying this thing?" Is it one of those super cool remote controlled helicopters in all of the spy movies? He silently added.

The helicopter at this point was fifteen feet above the landing pad. However one very, very, incredibly angry voice could still be heard over all of the noise.

"YOU COME BACK HERE MY LORD!" the white dragon officer yelled in his most furious voice. "OOF!" was the second call as Ruwalk ran onto the landing pad and tackled Alfeegi.

I have no time to waste! I must relay my final message! The yellow dragon officer thought with conviction. He quickly stood up, cupped his mouth with his hands and yelled with all of his lung power "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE LYKOULEON! DON'T TURN AROUND AND NEVER COME BACK!" I've done all I can… the rest… is up to you… He dramatically thought as he found himself strangled by Alfeegi.

"What… are… you… saying…!" the polka-dotted hair dragon asked between shakes. "BESIDES!" he yelled through gritted teeth. "He's in a helicopter flying away, not running!" Smart last words Ruwalk; prepare to face the repercussions of your actions!


Meanwhile in the helicopter Lykouleon jubilantly cried "Yes! Freeeeeeeeeeedoooooooom!" While pumping his arms through the air. No Alfeegi, no Alfeegi, it's my birthday, it's my birthday!

"M'lord?" Tetheus asked.

"Yes?" the Dragon Lord replied.

"Just wondering, who's flying this thing?"

Uh oh… Rath thought to himself as the plane started to jerk around through the air space. Glad I fastened my seatbelt…

"Don't worry! I can fix this!" Lykouleon quickly shouted before grabbing the pilot controls.

"Thatz! Save me!" Kitchel whimpered and commanded as she clung to Thatz for dear life. He has a dragon, I'm okay, I'm okay…

Thatz shrugged "Okay," After all, I have a dragon so everything's a-okay!

"What about me?" Ringleys pouted.

"You've been replaced?" Rath asked.

Just as quickly as the helicopter flew into disarray it straightened out.

"See?" Lykouleon asked. "I said I could fix it!" he proudly stated. "Get ready for a bumpy ride!"

Cesia grumbled, "You can say that again." Stupid idiot! Doesn't he know ANYTHING?

"Okay, ge—"

"She was kidding," Rath helpfully stated.

Oh, that's awkward… the blonde royalty thought to himself as he manned the controls to Rath's island.


Well, it's been a long time since chapter one came out. Since then I've actually SEEN an episode of Survivor. It was in my English class of all places. I could give you excuses, but the truth of the matter is that rewrites are not a lot of fun and I feel like the stories lose something when they get changed from script to paragraph format. So, if you guys prefer I guess I can revert back to script or something. Whatever you guys want. As long as the first chapter is in paragraph format I don't think I'll get in trouble for having a script style story.
