Journey to Nourasia, an After Oban Story

Ch 9 Through the galaxy and back again

"Prince Aikka!" the king raved, "where have you been?!" Queen Lyria Walked forward and placed her hand on her husband's shoulder. Her face softened as she did so. Then, she turned to her son, her face hardened with rage and disappointment. "We are very disappointed in you my son; running off like some small child!"

"But I did not run off mother! I have been with my friends this entire time!" the prince explained

"That's even worse!" Naabu raged

"Last time you were with them you were almost killed!" shouted Lyria. "Actually that was me," Eva mumbled under her breath. Emimi stepped forward, "how were we to know that there would be a rocodan still in the lake?! And Eva was the one who was attacked not Aikka!"
"Yea! Your son just tried to save Eva! Not to mention that he didn't even get a scratch on him!" Mina defended.

"Never the less you both would have been killed in the process!" king Naabu said, "I'm sorry girls but you are all a risk to my son. I have to send you three back to your homes."

"What?! You can't do that! We just got here only a few days ago!" Eva roused.

"I suggest you all gather your things now, and get a good night sleep. You are all leaving in the morning." Lyria rationalized.

"Mother, father, with all do respect, but if you send them back to Earth then I am going with them!" the prince said.

"No Aikka! You are to stay here and serve your people!"

"plea-"

"No! Now all of you back to your rooms!" the king shouted once more; he placed a firm, strong hand on Molly's shoulder as she tried to walk passed him, "Oh, and Miss Eva, you, young lady are not even to look at my son. Is that clear?!" Eva was shocked, she didn't want to say yes but she also didn't want to say no. She only gave a slight nod and walked on. Molly gave a silent growl in her throat as she walked back into the palace.

Aikka sat all though the night cross legged, praying to the Nourasian gods and goddesses. He wished for them to change his parents' minds. Aikka wanted Mina, Emimi, and especially Eva, to stay. All the prince could do was hope and pray.

Meanwhile in the king and queen's bedroom

King Naabu sat thinking, thinking of his punishment for his son. "Was sending those girls back to where they came really necessary?" he asked himself. He thought about this for hours. Until finally, king Naabu decided to let the girls stay. But it was too late to tell them, for they were all sleeping by that time. He then decided to get up before the girls left to tell them.

In the room Eva was staying in

All of the girls were packing their stuff for the morning. Eva was violently shoving her clothes into the bag she brought with her. Other than the constant poff coming from Eva's side of the bed, all was silent. Until, "why does everything have t' be so damn short!?!?! I mean we basically just got here and they expect us to leave with out frickin' saying goodbye?!?! ugh!" Mina and Emimi jumped at her sudden retort.

"Calm your ass down. At least you won't have to worry about when your gonna see your dad; your goin' home to him!" Emimi shot back, "so don't be bitchin' 'bout it!"

"shut up and pack yer stuff." with that everything went silent.

Poff!

Sort of.

The next morning

King Naabu woke up the next morning to find the girls bedrooms empty. He burst into Aikka's room asking, "where have your friends gone?!"

"Out to the avatar's ship father, like you had ordered." Prince Aikka had put a hurtful emphasis on the last word. "Why do you ask?"

"My son, I am truly sorry for my anger last night. You must realize that you are my first and last born. I am overbearing because I don't want to lose you. Not for the kingdom, but for your mother and I. You are very precious to us. As for why I want to know where that trio of young ladies went it is because I have decided to let them stay longer." Aikka, though surprised, was delighted to hear it! the prince embraced his father, showing his gratitude. He then realized that it may be too late! He may never see Eva, Mina, or Emimi again!Quickly, he let go of Naabu and ran out of the room to catch the girls before it was too late.

Aikka rushed out to the stables to retrieve G'Dar. His mount screeched with delight to see his owner. He calmed the Kucarana and flew off. Within minutes he reached them. The girls were just about to board the ship when Aikka landed. "Stop! Don't go just yet!"

"Prince Aikka! What are you doing here?" asked Eva.

"He probably came to wish us goodbye and a safe journey back to Mars and Earth." The Martian said sadly.

"No not at all! My father recalled his actions and decided to let you stay!" he said with glee in his voice.

"Ya!" the girls cheered. They all hopped on G'Dar and rode back to the castle. Emimi, having an irrational fear of heights, just teleported herself back. After all, she knew where it was!

Yeah! they get to stay! (i really need to learn to stop rhyming.) Had ya goin there didn't i?! Hehe, i'm pretty evil aren't i? Looks like they're not going anywhere for a while! In the next chapter, Eva gets some late birthday gifts from Aikka. And something bad's gonna happen! don't ask jus read. oh and push the little blue button again. every time you do, you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (BTW, i'm sorry if this is so short, it was just the girls staying, nothing more! i had writter's block for cryin' out loud! i had t' divide one chapter into two!)
