"Alycione ! Are you going to come out and play!?" Lantis called, hoping she would answer.
She stuck her head out of the second story window and looked at him. "Lantis, my parents are still asleep!" She said, in a quiet
voice.
He looked sheepish. "Sorry, now are you going to play?" He asked quietly this time.
She nodded, and ran downstairs. Her long black hair streamed behind her. Irritated, she braided it swiftly while running. This amused Zagato who was standing next to lantis. "Why are you twistin' your hair up?" He asked.
She glared at him. "I, unlike you dirty boys, have long hair that needs to be twisted up." She replied.
He laughed. By then, they were at the alley where Lantis and his friends constantly played. There were three other boys, Lantis Ferio and Zagato and Lafarge and two girls Emeraude and Presea and Alycione. "Alycione!" They all said.
Zagato smiled as he approached the other boys. "She has to twist her hair cuz' she ain't a dirty lil' boy!" He said, as if he were the smartest person in the world.
That caused all them to laugh. Alycione even laughed. He sounded just like her, except the childish lisp. They began a game of villains and heroes. It was the girls' turns to be the heroes. The boys ran to hide.
Presea led the heroes. Their bare feet slapped on the cobble roads as they ran after the boys, waving "swords", that were really sticks. Emeruade grabbed Lantis. He struggled, but Emeruade threw him to Presea who was the strongest girl.
"We've got one of them, come on Presea." Emeruade said, running after Lafarga and Ferio.
They soon caught up with Zagato and "killed" him by giving him a good smack on
the head that made him dizzy and immobile for the moment.
Ferio, was a fast and athletic boy. He ran faster, Presea close at his heels. He slowed down. I've got him now! Presea thought. She heard a thud, and saw Ferio run into a market stall that had pies stacked on it. The pies wobbled and fell on Ferio, splattering him in red and purple filling. Presea couldn't help laughing. The pie vendor, unfortunately, didn't find it funny at all.
"My pies!" He screamed, rushing over to the stall from the tavern where he had been having some beer with friends.
Presea helped Ferio up, and they both ran while the pie vendor screamed something about destroyed property. When they got back to the alley where the "jail" was, everyone else was there. "What took you so long? And what happened to Ferio?" Lafarga asked.
Presea burst out laughing, so Ferio told the tale.
At the end, everyone was laughing. Emeruade was crying she found it so funny. Then they heard faint voices. "Lantis! Zagato!" Lantis and Zagato heard their father call from about five alleys down.
"Got to go, see you tomorrow!" Lantis said, dashing out the back way and to his father.
He laughed when Lantis came running and jumped into his arms. "Hello, sweetie, where have you been?" He asked.
"Just playing with some friends." he said.
He smiled and ruffled his little boys hair. " and wheres your big brother?" asked the father.
" he's comming soon." Zagato saw his little brother was already with is father he ran towards him. Lantis looked away from Zagato as he saw Emeruade in the distance. A small pain hit his little heart.
