Chapter 18
Having defeated the evil Eganrac and returned Otto to normal, our heroes deserved (and needed) a little time to rest. As Ivy and Frus were taken care of, and Otto and Ygrene got themselves looked at as well, the less injured members of the team found different ways to amuse themselves. Well, actually, Maria and Vrust were taking care of the injured members, so it was only Sprx and Saga who messed around.
Sprx followed Maria around, sometimes helping but usually just staring at her. Luckily for him Maria didn't have time to set him straight. Meanwhile, Saga was looking at all of the demon heads. And also poking them for no apparent reason. Eventually, he heard a loud thwak and Sprx stumbled into the room with a red mark on his face.
"Things are looking up for Ivy and Frus," he said. Saga grinned, then went back to messing with stuff. "What're you doing?" asked Sprx.
"I'm bored. I can't really help with healing people. I mean, I was able to heal the few injuries I sustained, but my powers would try to rip through other stuff," explained Saga.
Sprx shrugged, then wandered around, looking at suff. It wasn't like there was much else to do. Or rather, there wasn't much else that couldn't potentially lead him and his friends into more danger. There was no telling what could happen if he went and looked around outside of Maria's territory.
Meanwhile, Ivy, Otto, and Frus were resting. Otto was doing the best by far; it was surprising that while he was evil, and fighting Frus, he'd actually lost. The green monkey was bandaged and experiencing some pain, but he was able to sit up and even walk around. Actually, Frus could pull that off if he really tried, but Maria and his father had both told him not to try just yet. Ivy was in the worst shape of all, but she would be okay. At the time, she was sleeping in a bed Maria had prepared for her. Vrust was sitting nearby, just in case anyone needed anything. Ygrene, who had waited while the others had been being fixed up, was getting his wounds properly taken care of by Maria.
Back with Saga and Sprx, the two were playing rock-paper-scissors. So far, Saga had won twelve out of thirteen games. This was because Sprx kept playing rock. Over and over and over.
"Sprx, are you even trying?" asked Saga.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, uh, yeah, I'm just thinking about…well, you know me," said Sprx.
"Why do you act like that, anyway? It seems to get people mad at you a lot," said Saga.
"Well, uh…I just…shut up!" said Sprx. Saga shrugged, then went off into a corner. He began to whistle a song. It was somewhat sad, but not terribly so. Saga didn't know why he knew only sad songs, but that was the way things were.
Uh…that's all I got right now. Please review!
