After Phelios had shown me around Neopia, he led me to a small cave in the middle of a forest. A small pool of water rested outside. It looked so peaceful. "My home," Phelios told me, "Welcome to stay." He motioned for me to enter.
The cave was not too big and not too small on the inside. A large straw bed was in one of the corner. Phelios curled up on the edge of the bed. I laid down at the top and slowly drifted asleep.
When I awoke, Phelios was still asleep. I decided to stay inside until he woke up. Of course, I couldn't go out anyway. The sun crept into the cracks of the cave walls, reaching for me. I pulled the blankets over my head, so I wouldn't burn up. I could hear Phelios stirring, "Phelios, could you block the entrance or something?"
"Phelios?" a familiar voice asked, "Is that this rat?" I peeked out from under my blanket to see Sloth holding a frantic Phelios by the tail.
"Let him go!" I hissed angrily and lunged at him, forgetting about the sun. Sloth laughed as my arm caught on fire. "Arg!" I dived back under the blanket.
"I'll be taking your little friend," Sloth said as he left the cave. I watched helplessly from my cover. /No.../ I though to myself, /My only friend... Gone./ I curled up on the prickly straw and slowly drifted asleep.
I awoke to the sound of an owl hooting. Slowly raising the blanket around me, I realized that it was night. I hopped out of bed and headed outside, ready to start my search for Phelios. I stood outside for a moment, taking in deep breathes of air. I waited to see if I would smell Phelios; there was a faint scent, but not much.
"Hold on," I muttered as if I were talking to Phelios, "I'll help you." I spread my wings and lifted off of the ground, but didn't get very far.
"You!" I was suddenly tackled to the ground and landed roughly on my back. I tried to ignore the tingling running along my spine and looked at my attacker. I was quite shocked.
"Jangelius?" I managed to push him off me, despite the pain I was in, "What do you think you are doing?" I stood, brushing the dirt off me.
"You got me tossed out of my humble home. It was so comfortable. I had free food and everything of the like, but it was all taken away because of you!" I looked at Jangelius like a scolded puppy would look at his master.
"What? How did I get it taken a way? It's your fault! I didn't bring me back now, did I? You did. You caused all your losses." Jangelius hissed.
"So I did... But you put yourself out in the open. Right where Sloth could find you."
"I was trying to help you," I said shakily, the anger in my voice growing, "I didn't want to lose the only friend I had." Jangelius looked shocked.
"You-You were trying to help me?" I nodded.
"Is that so bad? All I was worried about was keeping you here with me. I don't want to lose you, father." Angel stood silently and I turned to leave.
"I didn't know.." A low murmur came from behind me, "I am sorry. I shouldn't blame my problems on you." I turned back to face Jangelius.
"It's alright Jangelius," I said and spread my wings, "Now I must save Phelios."
"It Angel," He said shortly, "and I am afraid that I cannot allow you to do that." I turned, only to get a fist in my face. Jangel-er Angel could pack a pretty hard punch. I was out cold before I even had the chance to retaliate.
