Chapter 4
When Gregor woke the next morning, Luxa was still asleep on the floor next to him. Hazard was also asleep in the bed. Gregor walked back to Luxa to wake her.
"Luxa, Luxa. Wake up" "Oh. Good morning Gregor. How long have you been awake.?" Luxa said sleepily. "Only about ten minutes." Said Gregor.
"Well, I suppose we should be going to eat, Gregor.
"Yeah, I'm really hungry." Said Gregor. "And Luxa. How are we going to tell everyone you've chosen me as your spouse?"
"Telling everyone is easy. Getting them to agree will be the hard part." Said Luxa.
"When should we tell Vikus?"
"Tell me what?" Said a voice from the door. "I was just coming to wake you two. So, what is this you were going to tell me?"
"Better get it over with now." Said Gregor.
"Okay, Vikus, I have chosen Gregor as my spouse."
"Well, this is surprising. How long have you two been feeling this way?" Asked Vikus
"I do not know Vikus, all I know is that it happened. And I am staying adamant to my decision. I would simply not be happy with anyone else." Said Luxa as she turned to Gregor.
"And, Vikus, neither would I. You can be assured of that."
"And how do you two plan to break this to the council, and your parents, Gregor?"
"My parents would probably be excited, but not the council, or Howard."
"I do not care what the council says or does. It will not stop me from being with Gregor. I want to be with someone I love and who truly loves me back. Not someone who just wants to be king, Vikus."
"I see." Said Vikus.
"Well, lets go to breakfast." Said Vikus.
Gregor had a huge breakfast. All who were at the meal were him, Luxa, who of course, now that almost everyone knew how they felt about each other, sat beside him, and Vikus, Aurora, and Ripred were also there.
"Vikus, did you here about the two love-birds over there?" "Do not harass them, Ripred." Aurora said coldly. "What? I can't have a little fun?"
"And, Gregor, you know we have to see if you can still echolocate and control your rager side. Right?"
"Right." Gregor answered.
"Good. Meet me in the cave at luncheon."
"See you then." Said Gregor walking away with Luxa.
