Chapter 2
A young boy around the age of ten with long purple hair sat in his room fanning himself. It was so hot. If the day could get any hotter, he thinks he would die. Was the weather trying to kill him? He was also bored. He looked around to see what he could do. Then he had an idea. He knew one person that could keep him cool in an extreme hot day and keep him from being bored out of his mind. Degel! But where could Degel be? He walked around and asked people if they knew where Degel is. It was frustrating that nobody knew and he was losing his patience. Then he felt a cool air and turned to see a boy around his age with short, green hair and glasses reading a book. He grinned and hugged the boy. The boy gasped and dropped his book in surprise. He pushed the other boy off and picked up his book.
He said, "Kardia, don't surprise me like that. Now I lost my page."
Kardia rolled his eyes and said, "Who cares, Degel? It is just a book anyway."
"I do. Why are you here? Are you here to bother me again?"
"No...Yes, it is just too hot and being around you make me feel cooler."
"Whatever, as long as you don't bother me."
Degel continued reading his book. He also hated the heat. He was used to the cold in Bluegrad. Luckily, he learned how to cool his surroundings. So he is never really hot but in the temperature just like he want. Kardia yawned and looked around. He decided to play with Degel's hair but Degel kept slapping his hand away. He was cool but he was bored.
He said, "I am bored."
Degel replied coldly, "Good for you."
"Let's go for a walk."
"No."
"Pleaseeeee."
"Fine. Just a walk and you will not bother me again."
"Alright."
Degel stood up and started to walk. Kardia followed. Kardia run ahead but not too much where he can get hot easily. Kardia stopped to see a boy petting a little dog. The dog was sticking out his tongue and panting. Why was the dog doing that? Degel caught up with him and saw that Kardia was looking at the dog intently.
Degel asked, "Kardia, why are you staring at the dog?"
"What is that dog doing?" said Kardia
"He is panting."
"Panting?"
"That is what dogs do to keep themselves cool."
"Oh, I see. Does it work?"
"Yes, the dogs should feel cooler."
"Cool."
Degel rolled his eyes and continued walking. Kardia followed him back to the Aquarius temple.
~Next Day~
Kardia yawned and fanned himself with his hand. It was still hot, but a little cooler than yesterday. Kardia was sitting among other candidates for the gold saints. They were listening to a story that Hasgard was reading outside in the hot weather. He was very hot and unfortunately Degel was not here. Degel went with the pope to do something he doesn't know. What could he do to make himself cooler? Then he remembered yesterday's lesson and stuck out his tongue. He started to pant. Hasgard stopped reading and stared at him questionably. The other kids also stopped and turned around to see the young boy panting.
He asked, "Kardia, what are you doing?"
"I am panting." he answered.
"Why?"
"Because panting can make me feel cooler like the dogs. That is what Degel told me."
They blinked at him incredulously. Then they started to laugh. Kardia blinked in confusion.
"Why are you all laughing at me? I am serious. Degel told me it works," he said.
The children and Hasgard laughed harder. Kardia became furious at their laughter, stood up and stomped away. Degel was right unless he lied to him. But why would Degel lied to him? He went to the pope's chamber and saw Degel talking to the pope about something. He stomped toward Degel. Degel and the pope turned to see an angry Kardia.
The pope asked, "Kardia, why are you so angry?"
Kardia retorted, "Because Degel lied to me and make me look like a fool."
"What did I lied about?" asked Degel.
"About panting. You told me that panting keeps the dog cool."
"That is true, I never lied about that."
"Lies! I was outside with the others while Hasgard was reading us a story. I was really hot and you weren't there. So I decided to pant to keep myself cool. The kids laughed at me and I don't feel cool at all."
The pope laughed while Degel facepalmed.
Kardia shouted, "WHAT IS SO FUNNY?"
"Panting only works for dogs. Humans never pant to keep themselves cool. We sweat and it is automatic. You just made a fool out of yourself outside," said Degel.
Kardia blinked dumbly.
"...Oh."
He realized his mistake and blushed in embarrassment.
Degel could only shook his head and muttered, " You're really an idiot."
