anypoforos skyla - intollerable bitch (in Greek)


Some people think that you can live for one of the two..

Love or knowledge.

But only the wisest realize one important thing..

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

Caleb put his hand on the blonde's shoulder. He wanted to get away from the portal as fast as possible. He shouldn't have made that promise. He needed to be on Earth, but seeking help from the guardians would only cause them suffering in the end. He needed to leave Cornelia in Earth and head back to the Infinite City. Maybe he would be able to aquire a concealment spell. Maybe he would just have to be very inconspicuous. Maybe he'd..

"Caleb. Just like you'd promised." Caleb frowned and watched the red head emerge from the portal, followed by the other guardians. At least this time she had arrived fully transformed.

He knew what was coming now, and didn't need to see Aldarn or Cornelia to know they looked confused. "Promised what?" It was the Earth guardian who spoke, whilst apparently being strangled by the smallest of them.

"If you're trying to asphyxiate her, you'd do a better job with your arms around her neck, as apposed to the shoulders." Caleb was glad that Aldarn granted an amused smirk, but Will only raised an eyebrow at him judgingly.

"Hay Lin." The air guardian, if memory served him, quickly obeyed a silent command; ending the hug and turning to the rest of the group. She then spoke to Cornelia. "He said he'd meet us." 'I said I'd meet you.' Caleb corrected inwardly, before remembering that he had regretted that fact. "And he's going to join us on Earth."

"So you can get your wonderbra out." the innappropriate water guardian sneered, and Caleb raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding the comment, or why the blonde seemed so embarrassed while the others laughed.

Aldarn, however, had raised his eyebrows and motioned to Will with his thumb, smiling at Caleb, "Is she the anypoforos skyla?"

...

"Am I the what?" If Will's voice was hard, her face was stone as she glared at Caleb, but he only brushed her off.

"It means leader."

"Of course it does."

"Why would I lie?"

"Why would you lie?"

"I wouldn't."

"You sure about that?"

"Absolutely." Will shivered as he verbalised that last word. They had slowly become closer, literally getting in one other's face, and she now felt his breath on her face as he smirked wryly at her with mirth. She cleared her throat, that now appeared not to carry words, as she stared at him with wide eyes, feeling awkward.

"You're coming to Earth then?" Will silently thanked Hay Lin as Caleb's mossy, green gaze left her face, and he moved to look at the others.

"No."

"'No'!" Will found her voice once more, but Caleb now barely acknowledged her.

"I've changed my mind." He was really just trying to piss her off now.

She tooked a deep breath to calm her frustrations, "You gave your word."

"That I'd meet you."

"I assumed you'd be coming to Earth. That was where you were headed when we found you." 'And you wouldn't shut up about it in the dungeon.' Will rolled her eyes as the boy averted his eyes from her once again.

"I was running. From Cedric. The snake." She really couldn't take much more of this. Was he really trying to be short with her? That was her specialty.

"What about Phobos' si-"

"It doesn't matter." The rebel quickly interrupted the 'green dude', as Irma had referred to him.

Will took long strides to the young male and outstretched a hand. "Will Vandom. Guardian Leader." The young boy looked at Caleb with amusement before turning to her and taking her hand.

"Aldarn. Member of the rebellion."
