Chapter 7

Still waiting

Kirby stared out to the night scene to watch some stars glisten and dash across the black canvas. His then gives his attention towards the moon as surfs gently hit his ruby feet… or is it shoes? He laid himself flat on the soft sands of the beach and stares at the heavens above him. He's still thinking about his good old home, Dreamland. The only way he is able to visit his home without getting drenched or drowned is by sleep. The Fountain of Dreams still have its works and sweet dreams of home came to Kirby quicker then it has. He closes his eyes and wonder is his life on the island will ever improve. If only there was a way to get of the island. Then a thought came shining to his head like a light bulb.

The easiest way to get back home is by boat. There are some help materials on the island and if I can get Kikilin to work with me, I'll be home in no time. Kirby gives a small laugh on this thought and begins to erect a blue print of his craft in his mind. While he's thinking, he pulls his hands above his head and rest on them as a pillow.

"Err….Kirby; you might want to lie in a different location." Kikilin stride by Kirby and stare at his resting position.

"What for?" Kirby lifted one of his eye lids to stare at the dark sky above him, still giving a thought about the vessel.

"Well, for one thing, if you don't shift, the lofty temperature of the combustion will travel from the foundation and on to your hands."

"Err…Can you say it in a simple way for a simple being like me can understand?" Kirby has both is eyes on the heavens, while his mind is on the project.

"Your hands are on fire," Kikilin reply with nark eyes.

"Err… A bit easyer please." Kirby turns his eyes towards Kikilin, telling her that he has a short attention span and is mystified.

"How can it be simpler? Your hands are on fire, as in flames, blaze, burn, whatever you want to put it in." Kikilin expression has gone soft for Kirby, as he doesn't know what fire means anymore.

Kirby then sits up at looks at his hands. Well, at least he knows what hands are, so he takes a look at his hands. His hands are caught on flames as fast as fire burns on a marshmallow.

"AHHHH! GET 'EM OFF GET 'EM OFF GET 'EM OFF AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Kirby screams as he runs around in circle, hopelessly. Kikilin sighs and place one of her tails on Kirby's circular path. Kirby's foot strikes the tail and sends him into the chilly waters, with his hands in first. The fire extinguishes as the brightness fades off to darkness. Kirby got to his feet and yells "I GOT IT!"

"But the inferno vanished from you hands. How could you've 'got it'?" Kikilin said with confusion.

"No. Not the fire. But it did hurt," Kirby walks to shore as the light flickers on his wet skin. "I've found a way to get back home!"

"Hu?" Kikilin shifts head as she stares at Kirby with bewilderment.

"I can build a boat that will take me home! You can help me craft this boat and you can come with me" Kirby said this with excitement. Kirby runs over to Kikilin ands sees her pale pink face with glum.

"What's wrong?" As Kirby ends his question, Kikilin begins to wander away from the fire and into the shadows. Kirby follow her in pursuit and comes to a halt right behind her.

"I can't," mumble the silver-winged creature. She turned and faces Kirby with gloomy eyes. "I've been told to stay here. To wait for someone to come, to destroy."

Kirby's heart starts race with fear. Could I be the one to be killed? Ummm…Maybe not. But I am a star warrior and maybe she just wants a duel, not to kill me, but test me skills…I think. Or maybe I'm not the one to be killed at all! Or maybe…Oh! Kirby's mind snap back to the island as he finds himself face to face with the tri-tail.

"But when I saw you five years ago on this island, I know it couldn't be you. You weren't like the descriptions I heard."

"Wait, slow down a bit. Who told you all that?" Kirby asks in bewilderment

"I…Can't remember. I know it was someone, but…" Kikilin's voice got lost as she searches for the answers in her mind. She walks towards the light of the fire and swiftly turns head to Kirby. "Besides, you couldn't be the one to be killed. You are a great person…Err..." Kikilin shrugs as he can't find a way to describe Kirby.

Kirby thought this over. Could he really be the one, or was Kikilin just saying to freak Kirby out beyond his mind. Kirby then dig up a clam out of the sands and places it near the blistering blaze.

"Well, you better get some sleep."

"Eh?" Kirby stands up faced Kikilin with perplexity.

"You'll need some strength to build a boat durably enough to withstand the overwhelming powers of the sea."

"So you'll help me?" Kirby solicit in anticipation.

"Kikilin simply nods her head and beam.
