Gwennavierre: T_T' (I guess she's still insane...)
Karaka: To RUE'S!!!!
~~~~~
For the first 15 minutes of the journey, things were okay. After the first 45 minutes of the trip, Karaka started complaining that her feet hurt. After one hour and 15 mintues had ended, Mint started complaining about her joints, and Karaka thought she was getting blisters. When three whole hours had gone by, they stopped and had lunch. After they ate, Mint told Karaka a bit more about Rue.
"He has this really cool haircut, but it's always covered up by his hat. It's a really ugly hat, too."
"Then why does he wear it?"
"Well...er...he's uh...self-consious...yeah! Rue's self-consious about his hair."
"Tell me more." Karaka liked hearing about Rue. She thought that he made a good role model for her. From what Mint said, he was caring, sweet, had a cool haircut, and had a very expressive face.
When Mint was finished, she thought of something bold. "Hey, Karaka...since we're friends and all, can I give you a nickname?" Karaka stared at her puzzledly.
"Umm...alright. I suppose that 'Kara' would be fine. But nothing else." Mint grinned.
"Ookay, Kara it is!"
And they made it to Rue's by 6:00 in the afternoon. But that was because they stalled, to get to know eachother more. Bonding, you could call it.
It was a snug little cabin, and Kara (she insisted to be called that now. "But it sounds nicer. Friendlier.") found it quite unpleasing. She smelled death in the air. And she did not like it. Now she was uncertain about going in. However, Mint looked happier than ever, with a slight bit of regret. "Mint!" Kara whispered.
"Yeah?"
"I--I'm worried.. Something is just not right." She sniffed again. She smelled blood, a struggle, and a very faint bit of saddness. The latter was so faint, that she did not have to worry about it. "I...I wish I had my army."
"Huh? Nothing better be wrong. Come on! I'll show you." Mint began to worry. This girl had Aeonic powers...what if she's right? "C-come on..."
Mint dragged the girl by her arm, because she had covered her eyes and refused to move. The redhead kicked open the door with a loud "WERE HERE!!", and was greeted by the shreik of a startled Claire. "Hiyas!! Did my buddy miss me?"
Silver-haired Rue smiled at his friend. "Hello, Mint! It's good to see you! We're having dinner. Do you want some?" Mint pretended to be offended.
"Oh! So I come ALL the way here, and you don't even want a hug?! Hmph. I guess I'll be on my way--" and she turned to leave.
"Wait! I'm sorry, I didn't know if you wanted a hug." He stood up and waited. Mint shuffled up to him and gave him a big, friendly hug. They were like family. --Family again. Suddenly, Kara felt sad. She wanted all of these nice people to be her family. She was about to go wait outside, when Rue called to her. "Kara? We're having Sabertooth for dinner. Don't you want some?" he asked with a caring smile.
Kara clasped her hand over her mouth. Meat. They were eating meat. She gasped, and let out a tiny squeel. "You eat meat!! I'm...I'm getting sick..." She ran outside and behind the house. You see, she had this horrible fear of eating meat. She thought it was absolutely evil and disgusting. But, she knew, that she shouldn't be surprized, after all, most people did eat meat. Kara was a vegitarian. In fact, she barely ate at all. Not being able to hold herself together, she vomited. She decided that she would go up on the roof of the cottage, so that she would not be seen.
Mint blamed the previous event on Claire. "Geez, Claire! Don't you know not to cook or eat meat in front of a vegitarian?!" Rue just raised an eyebrow.
"Mint, did you even know that she doesn't eat meat? Anyway, you should check on her."
"I'm coming." said Claire.
When they went outside, they heard a lovely chiming sound ended by a kind of click-pop. "Kara!" the ladies called.
"Up here!" the Lady called from the roof of the cottage. Claire and Mint saw that she was holding a small, red, velvet, circular-shaped box. She quickly put it into a hidden pocket in her dress. Then, looking more pale than usual, she climbed down the ladder that she had used to get up there.
"Are you okay? You look a tad white." asked Claire sympathetically.
"Fine..." mumbled the sick noble.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know that you were a vegitarian! How about we change our dinner plan?"
"Yeah, I think she would like that..." Mint answered for her friend.
Mint, Rue, Claire, and Kara had a dinner of salad and cake. (Gwennavierre: Mmmm, cake.... 'drools') During dinner, Mint and Kara discussed their revival plan. Kara also explained why Claire could not come. So, Rue gave up his bed to Mint, and Claire to Kara. Rue slept on a chair at the table. Claire slept on a reclining chair near their bookshelf.
The next day, They bid farewell to Claire, and set on the road of the two- hour trip to the Realm of the dead.
~~~~~
Mint yawned. Both of the girls were equally tired. Because Rue had made them get up reluctantly early, they would have to take a small nap to gather energy for the 'drain' as the noble called it. They were almost there. Mint took out her water canteen and they all took a few sips. Rue just looked straight ahead, quiet as normal. Kara hummed the tune that was the one her secret music box played. Mint perked up at hearing the strange, yet enchanting notes. "Where did you learn that?"
"Oh, somewhere..."
"But where?"
"Um, I don't remember..."
"Hmph."
The trek continued until Rue realised that his Dewprism shard was growing warm. "I think you guys should take a nap now. We're close."
"How do you know?" blurted Mint. He glared at her.
"Because I know." She stared at him oddly.
"Eh...oh? ...Oh! Okay, I get'cha."
The teenagers set up a small campsite, consisting of a blanket for the girls, and a fold-up chair for the unsure boy. When Kara had mentioned Gwennavierre, she had became stiff and quiet, with a mad glare at the floor. What was so bad about this person? He knew that he'd soon find out.
After the nap, they moved on for about ten more minutes until they came to an evil looking place. All of a sudden, the place seemed to get dark at once. The dead trees scattered about the grey-blue meadow, snapping and creaking this way and that when the heavy wind blew. There was a single grey-blue tree that appeared not dead, but in hibernation, like things during the winter. Kara, followed by Mint and Rue, slowly started towards it. Upon closer inspection, they saw they it was marked by a scrachy 'G.' The wind calmed a bit as they stood there. Kara began to speak.
"This, is 'her' grave... You must be silent! But concentracte with me." She then made her next words echo throughout the meadow.
"Eilka Feros Kara De Na Meila Teros Lara Ke Sha"
And the air was still. With a single rapture, the air rushed at alarming speeds, and the Spirits of Death, Time, and Being were set loose. Before anyone could notice, a huge chrystal box containing a porcelin figure emerged from the earth. No one could tell her features by looking, as the wind would not clear. Kara continued speaking.
"Release the Spirits of Death, Time, Being, and the opposing forces of Life, Space, and Consiousness live!"
And the force grew until it completely ceased and the Spirits had done their jobs. They immeadietly felt very tired and weak.
Finally. They could see who was in the box.
