So last time we left Courtney with some serious news. Saint Dane had done it again. He had taken a form of someone she was in love with, and, betrayed her. Let us see what happened in Bobby's newest journal…
Cococonump
Halla.
Guess what Courtney, I'm dying. And it's all over. I found out what to do to win this war. Yes, I, no, we won. We, the travelers did it. I've been staying with Telleo Genj, the doctor on Ibarra looking for Saint Dane. She has been helping me to make a living by training a militia. Of course, I'm no Batu, but I was trained by one. So I'm doing my best, and I also decided to run for the Tribunal. I think I can do some good. I'm just going to get right to it, and let you know what has been happening and how we, and by we I mean myself, and Patrick did it. So just sit back, don't relax, and be prepared for a long haul.
"Bobby?" I heard a voice calling my name, and a rapping of what sounded to be a wooden spoon on the door. "Breakfast is ready Bobby!"
Breakfast? Really? Well, I was hungry. I wasn't going to question the fact that mom should already be at work. I was, on the other hand, going to question the fact that there wasn't a fishy tongue licking my face. "Marley, come here girl!" that was the first thing to come out of my mouth as I pulled a cover off of my face, and suppressing a yawn. It was also the beginning of a crude awakening. I realized I wasn't home in my home at Stony Brook, Connecticut. No TV, no Second Earth. What I did see on the other hand, reminded me that, well, I wasn't on Second Earth, I was on Ibarra.
Telleo walked into the room, with, contrary to the sound against the door, a clear plastic pipe. "The water pipe broke Bobby, and daddy needs me to fix it. I made some of the fish we had last night. It's on the table, so go eat, and meet me in the town center."
Oh, now I knew why I thought I was home before I woke up. I got kind of… doped up last night. Not doped like the drug, just kind of… tipsy (drunk). To tell the truth, there was a party last night. You won't believe what they have instead of all the alcohol stuff we have back at home. I could never even stand the smell of beer that I would smell at the gas stations. Here, it's non alcoholic drink that actually is great. It's not bad for you either. You just get really sleepy and have dreams induced by it. So I was dreaming because of that. Damn stuff.
So I sat down and began to scarf down all of the food that she had put down. I still liked to stick to the idea that I should eat when I could, because, to tell the truth, I still didn't know when I would have the chance to eat again.
When I had finished breakfast I got dressed and jogged to the canopy that was town center. This was where we had the party last night. It looked sort of like the gazebo type thing they had on Denduron for the transfer ceremony. The biggest difference was that it had a roof of bamboo shoots so that it had a sealed, rainproof roof. Telleo was standing on as ladder, trying to reattach the part of the pipe that had come off somehow.
"Hey Bobby, could you hold this for a minute?" She handed me something that looked like a white tube, which made no sense, how did she plan on fixing a pipe with a bigger pipe… "Thanks bobby. Now, I'll just slide this over the other piece of pipe, and the broken piece, and, there!"
I felt my hand get warm from the tube, and I started to think I was having déjà vu to some degree, but couldn't place it anyway. Telleo pulled the tube to the left a little and pulled out a stone knife to cut it away. She jumped down off the ladder and grabbed me by the upper arm in a playful way, and started to tug me off in the direction of the Tribunal Mountain. "I'm glad you decided to say Bobby. And, who knows, maybe you'll like it here more than you did, wherever it is you came from. Where was it again?"
"Ehh, I really don't want to talk about it right now," which was the truth because the dream of home was still fresh in my mind. She shrugged and we continued to walk. I hate to say it, mostly because of the feelings I had for Loor, and you too, (especially you Courtney), but Telleo was starting to grow on me. She had this red hair that waved back and forth when she walked, and I had a strong feeling of déjà vu when I realized this, but she had started to run as soon as I thought about this. She also had these great green eyes, very big too. They were almost, seductive. They had me instantly, and I knew she meant what she was talking about.
"There's something that dad wants you to see Bobby. He said it was important. We shouldn't e late, especially with you being nominated for the Tribunal after all." She continued to run, and I continued on in bliss happiness. I had been feeling like this a lot lately, bliss, and just weak minded. I didn't give it a second thought, until later. "Are you sure there's nothing that you want to tell me about where you come from Bobby? Obviously you come from somewhere that is still civilized here on Veelox, but where could you have been served by dados? And taught to fight, I know you had to have been trained to fight like that." I sill wasn't paying much attention, which I really regret; a life could have been spared.
We were at the bottom of Tribunal Mountain, and we could hear voices coming from above. They had to be shouting to be heard from that high. "Please, no, don't do it, ill go into hiding, Veelox isn't inhabited, so no one will ever find me again. But please, don't kill me, and please, just be good to Telleo."
"Wait, that's dads voice!" well, that rocked me back into reality. Genj sounded really distressed, and he was hard to intimidate. I looked to the left, and knew immediately that I wouldn't get to Genj on time to help him. There was a line of security guys lined up in my way on the stairs. I ran back out while Telleo argued with them to get up the stairs. I went out and found a tall tree that I could hopefully climb to get up to the hole in the mountain in time to save Genj. "Not going to happen Genj," I froze on my way up the tree. I didn't have to see who it was to know that it was him… Saint Dane. His growl of a voice made me shiver. I'm just glad that I didn't have to see his eyes. "The Convergence is upon us, and you are the first victim of the new story in Halla. I will allow you to go into hiding, but not on your terms. Killing is not what I want right now. This is the way it was meant to be." After that I saw a fish, let me write that again, a fish get tossed out of the hole.
Saint Dane started to walk out to the ledge. That would mean that that fish was Genj. Saint Dane could apparently change the forms of others as well. As he walked I shimmyed around the tree so I could see him, but he couldn't see me. " be prepared Halla, the end is nea!" as he changed his form. Great, Genj was now dead, and Saint Dane was now on the Tribunal… I just cant ever get a break can I?
