CHAPTER FOUR: LIKE OLD FRIENDS
After a good nights rest in which seems surprisingly comfy bed. The spider riders faced a dawn. At breakfast not everyone was there. When they all got dressed and headed to the dining room. The table had breakfast all set up. Apparently not too long ago since everything was still quite warm. The spider riders wondered where everyone else went. "Drake? Lerik? Hunter?" Corona timidly shouted out, remembering what happened just yesterday.
Drake suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Out of midair he poofed into the kitchen and greeted the spider riders politely. "Good morning Spider riders. I take it that you had a good nights sleep?"
"Yes, thank you very much for asking master Drake," replied Princess Sparkle kindly and shyly.
Drake blushed at those words. Not even Hunter ever called him Master. He was delighted, but felt that he needn't to be addressed that way and told Sparkle," Nay! Princess no need to added in the words 'master' in my name. Just call me Drake." Lumen then stepped foward. He wanted to start trouble and began to taunt him younger sister. " What? The nicknames. Ah hahaha! Nothing would stop her nicknaming habit. Gonna have to get use to it."
"Ah hahaha." Came a laugh. It wasn't Drake though. Lerik the red-headed boy stood by the doorway laughing. "You kids are sooo funny! Ah hahahahaha!!!" Poor Lerik was close to tears and was laughing nonstop.
Drake smiled a sad and delighted smile at the same time. I haven't seen the boy laugh so heartly since before the war began, he tough to himself. After awhile Lerika and the spider riders were talking and giggling around the table like old friends. Each of them tossed around stories from their past.
Magma and Igenous talked about their younger days. The girls told everyone about their latest achievments. Prince Lumen went on and on about cute girls. Lerik muffled in a giggle as Sparkle concluded that she thinks that her brother is a bit of a perv. Lerik told a story on how Greenlord use to be a beautiful yearlong tourist site. The flowers and the grass would bloom and purk up every spring. Some even lasted winter's bitter winds and cruel vicious snow storms.
Images of Greenlord vast and evergreen flowers and grass flooded into everyone's minds.
Drake smiled at them and headed towards the door. Before leaving he told them," If you're looking for Hunter he'll be in the backyard training. He does not want to speak about yesterday.I daresay that it would be best if you all left him alone for ...." Drake trailed off, "but if you must speak to him....pretend you saw nothing from the previous day. Infact say nothing of the sort. Do not mention that this place is a graceious land compared to the battlefields or you might upset him." With a swing of his cape Drake dissapeared into thin air.
At the mention of Hunter's name everyone saddend. The laughing stopped. Even young little Sparkle knew it was not the time to joke. Lerik began to keep his distance, but remained calm. "Don't worry," He told them, " Hunter'll be fine. Don't upset him and you'll be fine as well." He headed towards the door and jerked himself upwards( like when an animal senses something approaching or danger is near.) Suddenly a huge crash and bang was heard from outside the house. Magma was closest to the window and leaned out to detect what was going on. "OH NO!" He mumbled. "Those soldiers from yesterday! They're outside!"EVeryone panicked and Sparkle ran around. Aqune and Corona prayed nothing bad happened.
"Seems like the preditor has found it's prey!" Grinned Lerik. He licked his lips looking blood thirsty. He was dying to see more blood on the ground. Before leaving the room he turned to the others and told them to stay out of sight and get to safetey. He knew that the spider riders had no power what ever so.
"Don't worry" he said, "Hunter and I can handle this in a flash!" He gave them a wink and left.
