Greeting Breakfast
The dining room was huge, and it was accompanied by a huge table. I could now see the reason for the table, King Goobot had twelve females, including myself. Ooblar floated by every seat, helping everyone into their seats. He came to me last, and he escorted me to the very last chair. I sat down heavily, sighing loudly.
"Hi." said the female beside me. She was purple, and she had yellow eyes.
"Hi, my name is Angela." I said.
"My name is Dahlia." she said.
Laughter floated towards us from the front of the table. I glanced past Dahlia and I saw a hideous sight. King Goobot was sitting in his chair yes, but the purple female wasn't in her chair. In fact, she wasn't anywhere near her chair. I looked under the table, and gasped. My head popped back up, and my eyes were bulging. I didn't want to remember what I had seen. It was to sickening to even see it.
"Every day, get use to it." Dahlia said.
"Hi my name is Oshia." A pink blob said. "This is Thalia, Visah, and Reshia."
Oshia was a pink blob with white eyes, her eyes really made her the more prettier. She wore a very long yellow dress with pink and blue flowers laced all over it. A pin and yellow ribbon flowed from her hair, which was as yellow as the dress. Thalia was a green blob with green eyes and a very sweet looking green and blue dress. Visah was a blue blob with yellow eyes, she wore a red dress with sparkly green stars glittering all over it. Reshia was a brown blob with one green and one blue eye. She had a blue and green dress on, with a matching ribbon in her orange hair.
"Please excuse me," I said. "But I was wondering what king of creatures you are."
"Oh we are Yokians." Dahlia said.
"Yolkians?" I muttered.
"Yokians, there is no L in the name." Oshia said.
"Oh, can I get the rest of your names?" I said.
"Yeah," Dahlia said. "Lithe, Pae, Maziera, Icolia, Lalee..."
Dahlia left off at the tenth name, and she looked down at the table with sorrowful eyes. I could tell that she hated the female up ahead, sitting beside King Goobot. Everyone else was doing the same thing as she. Looking down at their folded hands with glazed, teary-like eyes.
"Xeshi is the leader." Oshia whispered.
"She gets everything she wants." Dahlia said.
"Everything." Pae sighed.
Looking down the table, I saw Pae shaking her head mourningly. She was a small Yokian, blue colored with bright pink eyes. She wore a bright green dress and a red bow topped loudly from her hair. Just the sight of her made me want to cry. Everything, that sounded as if Xeshi was the matriarch, the one that got to raise the healthiest of children. And just by the looks of her pale blue blobby self, she looked as if she had indeed had had a child recently.
"Never get in her way." Maziera whispered
"That is if you want to live." Lithe added.
"She's hot tempered." Icolia moaned.
"And easy to anger." Lalee muttered.
Maziera was an orange Yokian with sparkling green eyes that reminded me of emeralds. She wore a green and black dress, with a ribbon laced in his long brown hair. Lithe had yellow eyes, which matched her yellow body. She had a golden dress with a blue ribbon flowing behind her darkly colored hair. Icolia fit her name well, she was an icy blue Yokian with red eyes and blonde hair. She had no ribbon or waist band. Lalee, the second youngest I believe, was very pretty. She was a green Yokian with golden colored eyes that sparkled brightly. She had a blue dress with a light blue waist band.
King Goobot cleared his throat and we all looked at him. He had floated up, way above the table and he was holding a whine glass in one hand. Xeshi was looking at me, squarely and violently. Her pink hair splashing out in every direction. She narrowed her eyes at me, and silently mouthed a few words. Even from this distance, I could tell what they were.
"Stay away and out of my way."
Yep, it was going to be hard in trying to get along with Xeshi. Icolia and Lalee had told me a few seconds ago that she had a temper. Well Xeshi was about to meet her match, because I also had a really bad temper. If Xeshi started a fight with me, she'd better have a weapon to finish it with, because I don't allow others to beat up on me. I could already see the fear that she had planted on Lalee, Lithe, Pae, Dahlia, Oshia, Icolia, Maziera, Thalia, Visah and Reshia. And if by the look on Pae face when we spoke about Xeshi, I believed Xeshi was the reason for her recent child death.
"We all raise our whine glasses to our newest friend, and mistress Angela Irene." King Goobot boomed.
"Friend!" Xeshi barked. "She's no friend of mine."
"Watch your tongue woman." King Goobot hissed.
"No!" Xeshi exclaimed.
"You will hold your tongue," King Goobot screamed. "Welcome to the family Angela."
"Thanks...but I don't really intend to stay." I said.
A moments pause before a chorus of laughs erupted through King Goobot. Soon everyone was laughing, even I. Hey I was just joining in, I didn't want to look like a fool. Not in front of my main enemy, for the moment. Xeshi gave me a dirty look, regardless her laughter, which was high pitched and evil.
"This is why I like you," King Goobot said." You do not give up."
"Thank you, your honour." I saluted.
"And you are polite." he said.
"Once again thanks." I muttered.
"Our first course meal arrives now." King Goobot announced.
A huge platter of eggs and meat was placed in front of me. I didn't waist one minute, I was hungry. I dove in and I engulfed every morsel cleanly off of it. Xeshi seemed to be in a type of contest because right after I said done, she said done. The second dish came, smoldering hot cakes smothered in syrup. I engulfed them quickly. Five minutes later I called for the third dish, so did Xeshi. I bet Xeshi and I went through five platters that morning, I'm not sure I lost count. After breakfast both Xeshi and I were plump bursting. I felt like throughing up, and I'm sure Xeshi felt the same.
