Fourth entry of the World Avalon Trip - Secret Diary #4
We were on the boat. and yesterday, we had been in Nigeria. We met up with Elisa's mother, and she also got to meet Goliath, Angela, Bronx, Colin, Chris, and Lacey.
We also had an encounter with a Children of Oberon, Anansi, and he was creepy as hell for he was a giant spider, but thanks to Draven, he was sent somewhere far away. He told Anansi that if he kept on doing bad things to people, he would turn him into a human as punishment, and Anansi did listen to him as he didn't dare to challenge Draven.
Also, thanks to Diane, Elisa's mother, she was able to make Goliath open up a bit to Angela, but he still doesn't treat her as a daughter. I wonder who will be able to convince him to be like a father to Angela as I tried myself, scolding him days ago, but Goliath is hell as stubborn.
I, Goliath, Elisa, Diane, and the young Gargoyles were in a abandoned castle, and we all then split up. I went with Elisa, Angela, and Bronx while Goliath went with Diane, and the other young Gargoyles.
We then saw Bronx run. "Bronx, no!", Angela shouted as she reached out for him. Bronx then got caught in a spider's web, and we ran over to help him get out.
"Hold still, you're only making it worse.", Elisa said as Bronx whimpered loudly in fright. Then a web fell on top of us, and I held Dagian closer to me.
"Oh, great!", I said with a frustrated snarl. "Let's use our claws to get out of this web.", Angela suggested quickly.
"Ready, now!", Angela called out as we made our way out of the web. "Yuck, I hate spiders! I'm just glad that my mom didn't see us get caught in that web trap.", Elisa said with a disgusted look as she shivered, ripping off the remains of the web off her.
"Me too. I just can't imagine my mother's reaction.", I said with a snort as I cleaned Dagian's egg off gently from the web remains. "We would never hear the end of it.", Elisa nodded in agreement, dusting herself off.
"You two are lucky. I wish Goliath would talk to me the way your mothers talks to you.", Angela said with a sigh. "No, you don't. She always wants more. More time, more details, more...honesty.", Elisa said with a scoff.
"My mom became protective of me after my father's death, and she wouldn't let me out of her sight unless Draven was with me, but my childhood was still fun.", I said with a shrug and a sheepish hum. "And you think that's a bad thing?", Angela asked speculatively with a raised eyebrow. Elisa didn't respond nor me for a minute, and we traded looks before I sighed lightly as she went on with Bronx, leaving us momentarily.
"I'm sorry about this, Angela. I just wish there was some way that I can convince Goliath to accept you.", I said with a frustrated growl. "I know you tried, Sally, and to tell you the truth, I am actually glad to have you treating me as a daughter even if we're not related.", Angela nodded with a weak smile.
I sighed lightly as I hugged her warmly, and we then caught up with Elisa. Soon, we found Goliath and Diane. along with Colin, Chris, and Lacey. We then found the person who turned into a panther, only to be interrupted by a strange sound.
We turned around to see a giant spider. It's Anansi, and he's a children of Oberon. Draven said with a warning. Goliath made me hide to protect Dagian.
Goliath tried to fight Anansi, but he pushed Goliath to the ground, and I saw Angela climb the web, only for the spider to shove her as well. A man turned into a panther, and tried to fight Anansi, but he was pushed off as well.
It's time to reveal myself, Sally. Draven growled lightly. I nodded as I then summoned Draven. "Who is he?", Diane asked with a shocked expression.
"I am Draven, the most powerful Gargoyle who wields magic.", Draven rumbled slowly. I could see Anansi shaking in fear and respect as he knew who Draven is.
"But if I ever sense you harm a human again, I will punish you by turning you into a human, understand?" Draven snarled lowly. Anansi nodded in a spider way. "Now, leave.", Draven warned softly as he used a spell. Anansi glowed blue, and then he was gone.
"Great job, Draven!", Chris said with a grin. "Thank you, Chris. Anansi has harmed people far too long.", Draven nodded with a soft growl.
"Well done.", Diane said with a awed and amazed expression. "I'm always amazed at your powers.", Lacey said with a impressed grin.
"You know that Draven can see the good and evil in all people.", I said happily with a smirk. After we got everyone back to the village, we then headed back to the shore. I saw Goliath hug Angela before she and the others turned to stone.
Goliath turned back into his human form while Bronx became a doberman. "Magical creatures, these friends of yours.", Diane said with a raised eyebrow at Elisa, smiling slightly.
"Mom, I should have told you before all of this.", Elisa said, looking humbled and embarrassed. "Elisa, if love is about growing closer, then it's also about letting go.", Diane said with a warm smile as she held Elisa's chin up as they faced each other.
"Okay, but don't let go just yet.", Elisa said quietly as she hugged Diane desperately and lovingly. "Elisa's right. We are on a quest, and we'll have to leave soon.", I said softly as Goliath hugged me closer to him.
"While Angela and the others sleep, we will tell you the whole story.", Goliath said with a bright smile. "There aren't any more spiders in it, aren't there?", Diane asked with a amused smile.
"No.", Elisa chuckled, shaking her head. I giggled lightly. We all then explained the story on how I and Elisa met Goliath and his clan, and I also told her about how Goliath and I fell in love, and got married.
"And I can't wait to meet your precious son once he hatches. I am sure he will look like both of you.", Diane smiled warmly with a nod. I smiled as I held Dagian closer. "You will be always welcomed to the clan, Diane.", Goliath nodded with a wide smile.
"But what about this Blaze? Why does Elisa care about him so much?", Diane asked curiously. I was about to answer when Elisa held her hand up. "I'll tell her.", Elisa said, looking at me, and I nodded in understanding before Elisa turned slightly to face Diane.
"It's because I have a crush on him.", Elisa said, blushing with a sheepish smile. "What?", Diane said in surprise.
"I fell in love with him after he saved me a couple of times.", Elisa said. Diane looked thoughtful. "Sounds like it's more than a crush.", Diane smiled with a raised eyebrow. Elisa blushed brighter than before.
"I did confess my feelings to him with a kiss, but Blaze left after that.", Elisa said, smiling slightly before looking hurt. "Why would he leave you just because of a kiss?", Diane said with confusion.
"Blaze has a hard time learning emotions due to his past, and he may have thought that Elisa wouldn't accept him for what he is.", Goliath sighed deeply with a frown. "Oh, Elisa.", Diane said as she hugged her daughter.
Elisa sobbed lightly for a few minutes before she calmed down, "Sally and the others convinced me that I have to scold Blaze when I confront him the next time I find him.", Elisa nodded with a determined growl.
"Some Gargoyles gave us a clue on where my godson might be.", Goliath said with a small smile. "We hope to find him.", I said with a grin.
"I wish you all luck on your quest.", Diane said with a warm and comforting smile. "Thanks, mom.", Elisa said happily, already looking better. We would leave by dusk, and we decided to spend the day here until Angela and the others woke up.
Several hours later, it was dusk, and then we all said our goodbyes as we went off. "It was nice meeting your mother, Elisa.", Colin said with a respectful smile.
"She's a nice person.", Chris said with a warm smile. "And very caring.", Lacey said with a wide grin.
"Thanks.", Elisa said, looking happy and grateful after she heard the compliments. "Now, we have to see if the next place we get to leads us to Blaze.", Elisa said with a hopeful/determined grin.
"I agree with that, Elisa.", Goliath nodded with a soft growl. Everyone nods in agreement as I held Dagian closer to me. I just can't believe that we had an encounter with a children of Oberon! It makes me wonder if we will have anymore encounters with more Children of Obreon.
Anything is possible, Sally. Draven drawled lightly. I sighed softly. We have to be more careful then, and I also have to protect Dagian even more. I just hope that we can get home soon.
Sally, when you and the others get to París, that's when I will grant Angela and the other gargoyles the gift to be humans during the day. Draven said warmly. Really, that's good news, did you have a vision? I asked happily.
Yes, and all what I can say is that it's in Paris. Draven drawled slowly. Do you know if we will meet up with Blaze? I asked hopefully.
I'm not sure yet, Sally. Draven said with a heavy sigh. I sighed lightly with a frown at his comment. "That spider was really creepy.", Angela said, her body shuddering in disgust.
"I know, right?", Lacey said, nodding in agreement with a groan of disgust. "But thanks to Draven, he won't bother anyone else.", Chris said with a confident smile.
"Draven told me that we might encounter more Children of Oberon along the way.", I said out loud with a sigh. "I don't know if that's good or bad.", Goliath mused thoughtfully in concern.
"I'll make sure that they won't harm you.", Draven said with a growl after he appeared before us. "Thank you, Draven.", Goliath said with a grateful nod.
It was nice to see my mother, and I'm glad we fixed our problems. But I kept thinking about Blaze, it has been six months already, and he promised to visit us soon, but why hasn't he? I sometimes regret having kissed him, but I shouldn't think that as he said in the note that he loves me, but he just wants time to think about being in a relationship with me.
The next time I see him, I hope I can convince him in speaking about that, and I saw Sally try to convince Goliath to accept Angela as his daughter, but thanks to my mom, he opened up a bit to her. Goliath saw Blaze as his own son, and he raised him while Blaze's parents were often busy, so why won't he be like that to Angela?
He also says he will raise Dagian, and that he sees him as his son. Maybe the one who could convince Goliath is Blaze himself, and I can imagine Blaze scolding his godfather for not accepting Angela as his daughter.
"You alright, Elisa?", Sally asked me in concern. "Just thinking.", I said with a quiet sigh.
"About what?", Sally asked curiously. "About Blaze. I just really want to see him again.", I said as I bowed my head slightly.
"One day, you will see him again.", Goliath said, encouraging me warmly, and I appreciate my friends' support, but it's still frustrating not to know where Blaze is, through we had a clue.
I stared at the water, and I then flash-backed to the moments I and Blaze shared. I remembered when I first gave him an ice cream cone, and he enjoyed it so much that he actually begged for another which made me laugh, I mean, really laugh in amusement.
He complimented me right after, saying that I have quite the wonderful laugh. I blushed at that, through I didn't know if Blaze noticed. He did love hamburgers, pizza and other sweets, but he mostly ate healthy food to stay in shape. I would see him train with the training equipment, and he really knew how to stay in shape.
I kept staring at the water. "Blaze, where are you?", I asked in a solemn whisper.
