Chapter 2
The kitchen again. Always the kitchen. You'd think that they could think up something else once in a while. But no, always the kitchen, cleaning the DISHES for heavens sake. I mean, c'mon, we don't even USE dishes anymore! Urgg... there isn't really much happening today. The blank wall in front of me is just staying blank. But when I look up, I can't help seeing two cold, hard eyes staring back at me. And then the cold, the cold comes, enveloping me, crushing my lungs. I just want to let go, give in, collapse, and be rid of it... Though I know this is all in my mind, I can't shake the feeling that something IS watching me. I think the emptiness and silence has gone to my head. If you know what I mean.
"Master Kyo, they request your presence in the Hall right away."
I spun around, prepared to attack...
"WHAAA???!!?? Oh, Kamui, I was just contemplating my thoughts and... I mean, washing the dishes..... I mean, I wondered when they would want me."
This HAD to be my trial. I mean, a trial was only fair right?? At least it used to be. Why couldn't the world be fair anymore??? I know they would give me a trial right? Wouldn't they?? I mean, the King's son, the Prince!
"They would like to discuss your sentence."
MY SENTENCE??!!??
"Ah, yes, right, ok, I'll be there in a moment, I've just got to clean up a little bit..."
"Fine sir, fine, just come up to the Hall when you're ready."
Well, this was certainly going to be fun. Just as I finished the last dish and stacked it in the corner, that's when I saw it. But... what WAS it??
............................................................................ ....................................................................
Just a few steps to the door, just a few more...
"What would your name be sir???" The thing said as it stepped out of the shadows.
"Uh... Kyo." I stammered. How stupid, telling the thing my NAME.
"So sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you, I mean you no harm."
As it came into the light, I could see that the thing was not really out of the ordinary. It was, surprisingly enough, an eagle. It looked just like the ones I'd seen pictures of. With the white head, and shiny brown feathers. But, it also had talons. They looked even bigger in real life, and with the light of the one florescent bulb, they glimmered, perfect for ripping the guts out of somebody.
"You're not going to um..... hurt me are you???" Another stupid thing to say.
"Oh....." She said, as she sheathed her talons. "I'm sorry, no, I wouldn't do anything to hurt YOU. My name is Danifær. I was sent here to help you."
"H-help me?? With what?" What is going on here? It's not like I need help getting out of trouble or anything.
"You will see in time. Meet me up in your room. I'll tell you everything there."
"Ok, but, I have a meeting with....."
"Yes I know. But this can't wait. Follow me."
She slipped through a doorway, and I ducked into the passageway and followed her. We walked for a few minutes, through the darkness, heck, through a passageway that I didn't even know was here a few minutes ago, with no sign of stopping. I know it doesn't take this long going the regular way. But, I guess, secrecy is what we're going for here. Though, its very cold down here. So cold that it chills you to the bone. Where are we going? Its still going downhill and we've been walking for nearly an hour, wait, I think I see some light up ahead.....
