It had been 3 turns since the strange incident at the training facility, and for Kail the whole thing was nearly forgotten. He sighed scratching his head as he stepped out of his families hive. Their home was one of the last ones on the dead end street. From the front door he could see the round about merging with the street that ran into another road down the way.

The sky was tinged green as the first sun started to set and the second began to rise signifying unronically the second rise. The two suns were the reason turns were so damn long and nights were so short. Kail wouldn't mind if one of them just burnt out or disappeared. He preferred the night so much more. At least they weren't too bright though, he rubbed his arms.

In his dreams sometimes he saw suns much, much brighter. One red. One green. He took a shuttering breath. He couldn't help but think about how the nightmares were getting worse. He hardly slept at all anymore the few turns he did sleep he woke up feeling like a douche. The lowest of low. As if he had somehow doomed the planet. It was all his fault. Everything.

He closed his eyes tight shaking his head. This was ridiculous, the world wasn't doomed, and even if it was, its fate had absolutely nothing to do with him. He jumped suddenly as a strong hand fell on his shoulder. Surprised he looked up to the caring face of his father. "D-dad! You scared the living shit out of me!"

The man chuckled lightly. "Sorry kid." He studied Kail's face, a worry in his eyes.

Kail looked away biting his lip. "W-what?"

"Xane told me you haven't been sleeping well. I kind of had the feeling. You've been spacing out a lot and honestly… you look like shit."

"Thanks dad." Kail said sarcastically. "Just the pep talk I needed. Father of the year here!"

"You know it!" The man laughed, then sighed. "I also noticed you've been getting really short tempered lately."

"I am always short tempered." Kail said.

"Yeah but not like this. This is different… more… angry…" His father frowned then looked up to the sky stretching slightly. "Actually… I was thinking it might be because of your bead."

"My bed?"

"Yeah- I'd completely forgotten… it's not really the best way for trolls to sleep. I just never really considered changing it because you always took so well to it." The man scratched his head dismissively.

"What are you going on about, you old fart?"

"I was thinking I should get you a recuperacoon. I heard they help trolls keep away nightmares."

Kail looked down sucking on his bottom lip. It was always hard to come to terms with the fact that he was different. He knew it wasn't really that he was different. The way he slept was what was different. Sleeping on a human bed when he was a troll- why hadn't it clicked. His friend Tallose had mentioned something about it before. He sighed, a defensive maneuver he realized, to cut back frustrated tears. "Whatever." He mumbled.

His dad pulled him into a one armed hug. "You're doing great kid- ya know that?"

Kail stared out blankly not seeing the neighborhood, looking past it, as he looked over his dads arm. His ears were rushing with the sound of his heartbeat. He hated it. He didn't feel like he was doing great. He felt like shit.

"It's about 54:00 do ya want something to eat before your second rise training?" His dad asked.

"Sure." Kail said softly as his dad released him and went inside. Kail stayed put for a few moments before looking up to the sky. The second sun was over the horizon now and the sky was washed a sickeningly deep blue. His thoughts wondered back to the other turn. The wind had been practically nonexistent since the orange feathery asshole took off with the blue idiot. It was hard for him to imagine that those two were actually responsible for the insufferable wind. There had to be some other explanation.

Not wanting to waste his life on unanswerable questions though he let it drop and went inside. Not like he'd ever see those two again anyway.

His chest tightened just a bit and he scowled. Of cores he'd have to have black feelings for something as transparent as the fucking wind. Giving one last frustrated glance to the world he slammed the front door, shutting it out.


AN: I wonder if anyone's even gotten this far?
Hehe...

Hey if you see any mistakes point them out to me please- also if you think of some cool troll terms I'm not using enough let me know as well because I always forget to use them.

Thanks for reading!
