"So you can't tell us anything else on this matter?" Eric asked his eldest son.
"All I know is that the dragons want Sky back before her mind and body can be corrupted." Eric ran a fist through his black hair.
"Do you know the time? Like, what day?"
"During winter."
"Do you know if any of the objects have been stolen yet?"
"Yes. The staff from the Givontres world. That's it. They're working on the pendant and then they'll come to this world to take the trident and dragon's core. You'll only know that something is very wrong when the sky falls." Eric was puzzled. The sky couldn't fall.
"What does that mean?" Uriel slumped back into his seat at the question.
"I'm not too sure myself, dah." Eric still couldn't get used to the feeling that his six year old had grown up. He was a sad thought. He looked at Uriel again. The boy was practically a man now, and if he had been raised in the palace, he'd probably would have been a soldier until Eric and Ariel were ready to retire. Uriel looked up.
"Dah, does this change what you thought about us? You know, about, Leaf, Sky, and I?" Eric was caught off guard. How could he answer the question? He missed out on most of their lives and Sky wasn't even his biological daughter! Uriel- he wasn't even sure about the boy. He grew up in two different worlds and now was risking his life working for some dangerous people. But deep inside, The king knew his answer.
"Honestly, yes. However, I still love you all and even Sky. I'll still treat her as my own, even though I know SilverClaw is her real father, but I hope that I can be her dad. " Uriel smiled with half closed eyes.
"That's good.....Listen, Dah, can you do me a favor?"
"Depends"
"I have to leave back to my world now. I've been gone for a few days, so can you please give this bag to Leaf? When I was in their old world I got them a few things from their home." Uriel handed Eric a black back pack.
"Okay." Uriel stood.
"Well, see you later dah."
"Bye.....Oh Uriel" Eric called out just as Uriel reached the door to the study.
"Huh?"
"Be safe, okay?" Uriel smiled at his father again.
"I willl. I'll be stopping by once in a while though"
"That's to be expected." Eric and Uriel smiled at each other before Uriel left. "Now to find Leaf" The King muttered to himself.
"So what were you doing the other day?" Leaf asked Devil. Leaf was in the library only moments ago retrieving books for the crimson eyed boy. He thought that Devil might want to get re acquainted with them. As a bonus, they were in a whole new world, with a different set of stories. Devil flipped through some pages of an old dusty book before answering.
"Swimming"
"Swimming? In the cold water?" Leaf was surprised. Devil didn't like the cold. The injured boy shrugged.
"Symphony said that it would clear my head. Well it did me some good. I got to see Scarlet again."
"It did you more bad though. Now you have to stay in bed for all that time. Not to mention that you almost got killed." Devil smirked at Leaf.
"I don't plan on staying in bed for that long. It's boring. I'm going to start working again, but maybe I'll wait until the soreness goes away." Leaf shook his head.
"That's probably not a good idea Devil. You should rest."
"I'm tired of resting, Leaf, I need to do something." Devil looked to his leader who sighed.
"It's a miracle that you're alive Devil. That's what Uriel said. Your wounds have closed up but there is still Atlantian poison in you. Uriel told us that it's best that you don't do anything to activate it. He's not sure what might activate it, so we think that it would be better if you just, you know, relax until he's found a cure." Devil groaned at the news.
"So, you're saying that if I do anything that might cause strain, I can die?" Leaf nodded. The boy groaned again. There was a knock at the door. "Come in"
Eric showed up at the door. Devil smiled. "Hey, It's Pretty boy! Everyone else visited me, even the Queen Lady, I was wondering when you'd come"
"I was going to visit you when you were in a coffin" Devil put on a hurt face.
"Ouch! That was harsh, man and here I thought, you were warming up to me." Eric smiled at the boy.
"If I didn't like you as much as I do, I wouldn't even go to your funeral. Oh Leaf, here" Eric handed Leaf a black back pack. "Uriel wanted me to give you that. Well, I'll see you boys later" The king turned to the patient "Devil, I really do hope you get better."
Devil and Leaf saluted him.
"Well what is it?" Devil asked as e reached over to poke Leaf's shoulder. The emerald eyed boy opened the bag and began to pull out some items. An ipod, a couple of shirts, a note, a compass, and a stuffed, raggedy, Jellyfish.
"Squishy!!" Leaf exclaimed and hugged the old stuff creature.
"Squishy?" Devil began to laugh. "Dude, I didn't know you had a stuff animal! Where were you hiding it?" Leaf's face was all different kinds of reds and then he glared at Devil.
"If you even think about telling someone about this " Leaf held up 'Squishy' "I'll personally kill you" he growled. Devil stopped laughing.
"If I tell someone, I wasn't even thinking. I rarely think, you know that." Devil began to chuckle again and his leader hit him in the head with the ipod that was in the bag.
"It's for you" Devil squealed with delight as he looked at the object. Yes he actually squealed.
"Solar powered ipod! Oh how I missed you so" the boy rubbed the music player against his face.
"And you make fun of me for having a stuffed jellyfish....."
"Hey! You know how hard I worked on this thing? Plus, it's even better here since there's no electricity. Now I won't be so bored sitting here. 20000 beautiful songs" the injured boy sighed. Leaf laughed. "So what does the note say Leaf?"
"It's from Uriel.
Dear Leaf,
When I was looking for you guys, I went into your home, and I collected a few things I thought you might want.
And I know how much you'd rather have your old clothes than wear the clothes that are appropriate in this world, so yeah.
I'll see you around
ps.
The last thing you'll find in there, is a stabilizer. It's for Takeshi. He can finally get his sight back!
It's surprising that you can find things like that in my world for cheap prices.... Look, it's a vampire!
^,...,^
" Wow that was random. So get the rest of the stuff out." Devil poked Leaf again. The prince shook his head and pulled out more things from the bag. A few pairs of sneakers and jeans. There were even a few sweatpants and underwear. The prince looked extremely uncomfortable when he pulled out girls underwear.
"L-leaf, I'm pretty sure the rest is for Sky and Rose" Devil was really uncomfortable too. Leaf cleared his throat and continued to look through the bag until he found something that looked like a needle, that doctors use.
"I'm guessing this is the stablizer. I'll see you later Devil, I'll bring more books too." Leaf slung the back pack over his shoulder.
"Oh, if you're going to do that, search for history books. Oh and Bro, don't let Rose find out that you went through her underwear" Devil added with a smirk. Leaf blushed.
"It was an accident! Geez!" Leaf slammed the door closed and left Devil in a laughing fit.
My Special words ( or not )
Well that's all for now, maybe I'll post two chapters up tomorrow or maybe another tonight......
It was kind of short to me.....Oh well!
Is Leaf going to make up with Rose?
Will Takeshi finally be able to see? Oh I hope so!
I think Devil and Leaf really could be brothers, don't you?
