Sleep Defeat Hunger

-

Nova was meditating in the middle of a clear space, with 10 stakes around her. She had bandages all over her body, except the metallic parts, her yellow fur don't show. She opens her left eye and in a second sends a blast of fire from her fist.

She stand up to see the job, only 9 were in fire. Nova sigh controlling her temper.

"You do it good" said Offay walking to her.

"You were looking at me?"

"Not really, but your fire attack hit me" said Offay sitting next to her.

Nova blush, "Sorry".

"Don't worry little monkey" said Offay rubbing her head.

Nova feels a great a great peace in her heart, she knew that the something was coming.

"This last years Nova, you have learn to control your angriness and to focus into more positive activities, I have to say that you done good with your training… even if it isn't complete you will do enough to bring the peace to the universe"

"What do you mean with "if it isn't complete"?

"You're training is over, the sky shows me that the evil is coming, a large citadel made of bone is approaching to Shuggazoom…"

"Shuggazoom?"

"Hehe, you make too much question, don't you?"

"Not my fault I want to know"

"You'll know, be ready tomorrow we leave" said Offay standing up.

"Yes… Master" said Nova standing up too and bowing.

Offay left, Nova looks a burned butt section of his tunic. Nova tries not to laugh. The stakes were already burned out, one of them had a little fire on it, Nova approach and extinct the fire with a blanket, then she left.

She arrives to the village, her head was filled with question, nothing could make her distract in what she thinking. The people in the village had seen Nova like a normal habitant of it. They weren't like her, they don't had tail, and their skin don't had fur or metal. Most of the village says "hi" to Nova every time they saw her, she only wave back. She arrive to a well in the middle of the village, she start pulling the rope until the bucket filled to the top of water arrive to the surface, she took the bucket and undid the knot. She uses her tail to carry the bucket, she was sad that she was going to left that place, everything she remember was there, all her life, all her happy memories even with Offay hitting her with his staff… Offay was a father for her.

She arrive to a house like all the others, she put the bucket at the entrance, the house was only a room, with a few big leafs like bed. She use her fire fist to light a fire in the middle of the house, she put a metal structure over it, and the bucket on it, until the water start to boil. She took the bucket and go outside her house.

She started to take off the bandages revealing hurts all over her body; she sat in a little stump and throws the water over her. She start screaming in pain, it make her throw the bucket, she close her eyes, and start searching for something in the ground, she finally found a little metallic fiber and start scratching the hurts.

She was trying to clean her hurts so they don't get infected. Her body still emitting water vapor while she clean herself. After a few hours of cleaning her body of any dirt she enter to her house and pull from behind her bed a roll of bandages, she start to cover her body again, some of the hurts start to get wet again, because Nova's hurts open with the scratch of the fiber.

"Well… another night without dinner" said Nova while her stomach made strange sounds. She took a pillow filled with real feathers throwing it to her "bed", she sat and meditate for a moment, then sigh.

"Sleep defeat Hunger" said Nova putting her head in the pillow, she tried to sleep, but her eyes continue open. A wind air enter her little house with no warning, she roll her tail around her.

"So… cold…" said Nova closing her eyes.
