(Chase)
When I opened my eyes the first thing I thought I was going to do was throw up. However that urge was quickly replaced with a 'where the bloody heck am I and why the bloody heck am I here' sense of dread. I tried to shove myself off the bed but someone else shoved me back down. Lilia? No, she's not here. Then, who?
"You need rest." A woman's voice, half calm, half uncaring, said. I looked up at the woman. She had black hair and red eyes, a cobra.
Red eyes… Keyi! I tried to shove myself up off the bed again but the cobra woman stopped me again, "Who are you and where's my little sister?"
"Keyi's fine so calm down. You have a fever and getting excited won't help that any." The cobra woman answered, "And I'm Hai."
There was a knock on the door and a man I hadn't noticed before opened it, "What are you-"
"Is big brother up yet?" A familiar little voice interrupted him. I tried to sit up again but before Hai could push me back down I was tackled back down onto my back.
"Hey, pipsqueak." I said spitting strands of golden hair out of my mouth.
Keyi looked at me with tear-filled eyes, "I was really worried about you, big brother."
"You don't need to worry anymore, that's my job, I'm fine."
She gave me a defiant look and put her hands on her hips, " Like I'm supposed to believe that? Everyone at home says that even if you were bleeding to death you'd still say you were fine."
"Speaking of home," Hai asked, "where is 'home.'"
Keyi looked at me and I nodded, "Sha'Keyi." She answered, "Teresa said that our dad named me after it."
"Who are you're parents?" She directed this question to me.
"Our dad died not long after Keyi was born and our mother-"
Keyi cut me off crossing her arms over her chest and wrinkling up her nose in disgust, "Is a scum-sucking toad-bellied pig."
Hi there everybody. I'm going to answer some questions from Wishiwasaneagle because they might clear some things up for everyone.
Yes, Keyi is real and not just a vision.
It's only been a couple months since the end of Wyvernhail.
Oliza and Betia are still with the Obsidian Gild.
You will find out more about Keyi and Chase's parents in the near future.
Please excuse the short chapter and thank you all for sticking with me this far.
