A Woman's Scorn
I really didn't understand when my mother told me not to get on the bad side of somebody close to someone that you love, but I do now. The reason she said that was because that person can bite your loved one's ear off and make them believe something that isn't true or grow to doubt you.
By now it was no hidden fact or was it an after thought, Minia hated me. I don't know why but she just did. Dali didn't hate me, actually me and him got along the way I hoped me and Minia would. I wanted to be friends with Minia because she was Meru's daughter and I thought we would be the same in certain aspect because of the love we had for Meru. But things never turn out right for me.
"Miyu, this breakfast or brunch as I have made it with my lateness, was great. You have to give me the recipe for these biscuits with the syrup in it. I've tried many of times, but to no avail, they weren't like this. The syrup would be all dried up in it, and you would only have a slight hint of the maple taste in them." Meru looked to Minia for agreement. She gave her mother a slight nod of her head.
"Well, you are kind of like family. And this is secret family recipe. Hannan, should I give it to her and I ask you because you have grown quite fond of her today." she asked Hannan.
His head shot up when she said this and he put on this very serious face and a blush crept up his cheeks. He put his head back down as if to hide the warmth in his face
"Yes, it would be nice if you gave her the recipe. It would show people the kindness that is ever so prominent in your heart." he replied sarcastically.
She paid him no mind. One thing she was good at was making you think she was paying you no mind when she was paying attention to your every move. She continued conversing with Meru, and I kept talking to Dali. We actually had more in common than I thought. He like almost everything that I liked. He fought with his fist. He was good but not as good at Haschel. It wasn't surprising he knew Fury of Styx and that was pretty good. What was unusual was that he wore bronze colored garments. I would think he would wear violet since his idol was the Violet Dragoon. But hey, who was I to judge. Meru was my idol and I wear Black clothes or just really dark colors.
"Well, I'm tired of just training. I want to put my effort into work. See just how good I really am. Do you think I'm wrong?" he asked.
"Well, I don't really know. I think my parents are trying to make me go on some journey. I don't know what is up with them. I got this spirit," I said as I held up my dragoon spirit, "they gave me this long lecture. But remember Rose?"
"Yeah." "She had this spirit, but she was also the Black Monster."
"What, you think because you have her dragoon spirit that you will become the black monster also?" "Yeah," but before I could even elaborate I was cut off.
"Okay! Everybody come on in here. We need to talk about why we are here." I heard my father state clearly.
We all walked into the meeting room. We actually filled up all the chairs. This was who the room contained: Meru, Kongol, Albert, Haschel, Miyu, Shana, Miranda, Dart, Minia, Dali, and me of course. My father started explaining first.
"Okay, now the older of us know basically what is going on by putting two and two together. The Dragoon Knights are getting to be called upon again. Which means another moon child is about to or already has been born. But instead of the former Knights being called upon to find their old spirits, new ones have been called on. Starting with Shinara. She is the going to be the head or the leader, like I was. She has Rose's dragoon, but we do not know if she is the Black Monster. I doubt it though. But she cannot go out alone," he paused and glanced around the room. Looking into everyone's eyes to see if they were following, all but Minia, for she was cleaning out her fingernails.
"Minia, why don't you listen for a change?" I asked her. I knew this might provoke her but I didn't care. There was adults in the room, so this wouldn't go to far.
"What do you say? I listen to what interest me. So. . .back off girl child." she replied calmly never taking her eyes off her hands.
"Listen up Minni. I have a name, a rather pretty one at that, and I wish to be called by that. I also wish for you to listen when my father and any other adult talks. Whether it interest you or not. Because we care not of your preferences," I said as I glanced back to my father. He had a slight smile on his face, I guess he was proud, "you can go on Dad."
With that I looked at Minia and she looked dumbfounded, after she realized she was staring at me she turned he attention to my father. As I glanced around I noticed that everyone but Minia had a slight smirk on their faces.
"Okay," he replied, "well, uh, where was I? Oh yeah. Well, that's why the children were called here also. Your parents already know of what I think best. I think that all four of you should go, together." my father finished.
"What?" Dali and I asked in unison.
"I said..." "I heard what you said. What are you thinking? I don't need any of them to accompany me in doing anything. I would be just as good with Minia with me as I would with a five-year-old. If not better. Dali is fine but I don't know about Hannan." I said as I looked over to him. He said nothing but looked as if he already knew what he was doing.
"I don't want to go with you Shinara. I would rather tend to wild boars." she quipped.
"Good then that part is settled. Minia stays with Meru, Dali goes with me and Hannan...uh...well Hannan does what he does best, and that is whatever he wants to do."
"No. Minia does what we said. She goes along with you, Dali, and Hannan."
"No I won't. I will not go."
"Yes you will." Meru interjected.
For a moment we all just stood and sat there and looked at Meru. Her face was pale but red. It was obvious she was angry too because her wings were trying their best to show themselves, but she kept it under control. It was also a shock because this wasn't a way you would see Meru often.
"What? You are making me go with them? But you can't." she said as she turned her back on her mother and faced the wall.
"And why can't I? I am your mother. You have no one else to care for you. Who else would want you. You have a terrible attitude, think you are it. But sorry baby you aren't. So why wouldn't I, no wait, why can't I make you go?"
"Just like I said before, because I won't go. How are you going to force me to leave my home?"
"Just like this. I forbid you to ever come back to my home. I will pack what I think you will need and you will be off whenever they are ready to go."
Minia looked to her mother with eyes full of hatred. She seemed so angry. She didn't even look to me with that much hatred.
"Now I know why I never liked you. I only pretended to like you. I only did it to get what I wanted."
"Like I care! I don't! If all goes well you....uhg! Just forget it." she sighed.
"Does that mean I don't have to go?" Minia asked hopefully.
"No, you still have to go." "I hate you!" "The feelings are mutual." she replied.
Meru slumped down in her seat. She closed her eyes as if she had just endured a terrible fight that was almost to much for her. I felt so bad for her. I walked across to her and went to sit by her and comfort her when Minia lashed out again.
"Don't touch her! That's what's messed everything up! I could never be good enough for her. No! No one ever measured up to Shinara! 'Why can't you be more like her?'" she cried. " 'Why can't you fight like her? Why can't you be smart like her?' The only way I've ever been good enough for her is when I idolized her and tried to be more and more like her. Then she started back with the Shinara stuff. As soon as we started on our way. Wait until you see Shinara. She so pretty and smart and she can fight like Dart. Do you think that wasn't a reason for me to resent you? How could I like you or even respect you when I could never be like you?
"When I got here, I saw that everything she said was true. You were beautiful, intelligent, strong, in shape, funny, everything I wish I could be. I wish were you. Why not? What do you have that I don't want?"
"What do I have that you don't want? My destiny. Do you think that I want to do this. I don't want the life that my father and mother, and their friends had. I want to be normal. Not being heavily depended upon. I don't want you to envy me." I stated.
"I don't envy you. I want to be like you. No matter how much I hate to say this, but why else do you think I decided to fight with a rapier? Dart and Rose fought along side, he fought with the sword you fight with now so I decided to fight with her sword. But no matter how much I do it I will always be better with magic and that stupid mallet," she said as she forced a laugh and a slight smirk. "But I am so sorry that I took all of my frustration out on you. And you mother."
"I could never stay mad at my baby." Meru replied.
"Its okay Minia. I forgive you." I said.
"So that covers it. The four of you will set out in three days head north to Basil and you will know where to go from there Shinara." Dart stated.
I was glad that Minia were able to put this behind us. Maybe the journey will bond us closer than ever.
Please people R&R if you care. For a while I didn't update it anymore because you werent reading. But thank old fool (couldn't remember full screenname) for the review
