Just the Beginning
Siphony held on tight to this Ender's hand. This Ender's name was Surriol. Jeior had let Him guard her as they marched through the wilderness of the 'Overworld'. He stay close to her the whole time, he seemed fine. He didn't carry her like Jeior had, over his shoulder. he let her stay close as they walked. this world was strange to her. strange but overwhelmingly beautiful. she had seen this color of green in the gardens, but never at this scale. "It's so... beautiful..." she heard Surriol chuckle softly, the cigar wafting soft smoke trails as they walked. she grasped his hand harder."Where are we going?" she looked up to him, clutching her fathers pendant to her chest."We are first heading to Butter City. we still need to get you to those holds to gain allies. without those allies... " he stopped himself. she nodded and looked ahead of them. the other three stood ahead of them. Jeior led point, the Demo Expert was trailing the right and the electronics operator was on the left.
the Demo expert was the youngest, a permanent smile plastered onto his face. the Operator watched the woods carefully. "Who will i be speaking to at butter city? do they know we are coming?" he cracked a smile towards her."Well... they call him King Adam, the Butter Lord. it's said he declared war on the squids... squids can't leave the water... the are a farm animal. if i knew better... I'd say he was insane." she giggled."No, they have no clue we are coming." she nodded."How far are we from this Kingdom?" he stopped them, thinking as he shifted his sniper rifle to his back."I don't know... would ya like to be carried for a while?" he asked with a smile. her feet were starting to hurt her, and they had been walking for 5 hours now."You don't mind?"
he chuckled."Not at all. here, I'll pick ya up." he brought a hand to her back, and brought an arm under her knees. with one swift movement he swept her up. her long hair sweeping in the wind. she gasped lightly as he held her to his chest, continuing his walk, catching up with the others."Thank you..." she whispered, resting her head against his shoulder, his white tee was soft against her cheek. she could feel his built muscles under the shirt. he was a strong Ender. she didn't know how this made her feel. she needed to keep her priorities straight. she needed to get allies for the end, and convince the Steve people that they could be trusted."What about my uncles?" she asked Surriol."Well... apparently Jeior changed the plans. " he said.
"Oh... i need to meet up with them eventually... i can send a message to them when we get to Butter city." she concluded."Sounds like a plan princess." he chuckled.
~POV Surriol~
Surriol held her in his arms, trying to figure out how on earth he was going to tap the ash off of his cigar without burning Siphony."Siphony." he spoke, holding the cigar between his teeth."Yes?" she asked looking up at him."Can ya do me a favor, and take my cigar an tap the ash off? i don't want it landing on ya Doll." she looked surprised but did as he asked. taking the cigar gingerly and brought it away from them shaking the ash off. Tren, their Demo Expert, chuckled."Having a hard time Surriol? Need me to take her?" Surriol sent the youngster an ice filled glare."I'm just fine Tren. Shut yur mouth and focus on the surroundings." Siph held his cigar for as the walked, she was giggling softly. "Whats so funny?" he asked with a crooked grin.
"Oh nothing." she said with a smile, a smile that every woman has seemed to have perfected by ae 15. this smile held secrets.
"Sure doll... what ever you say."
that night they made a small camp. beds of grass and a pillow of moss. he kept siph close to him. Tren made him nervous about her. he had promised the Chancellor that he would protect his daughter, and he knew how Tren would hit on women, many time breaking their hearts. sure the boy had his perks. but he had a hart time controlling his weaknesses. Serg kept an eye on the boy, the Operator was smart for his age. he to was young. Jeiol took the first watch of the night, standing where he could keep a close eye on the camp.
Siph sat on her small patch of grass watching them all as they cleaned their weapons and prepare for the night. he looked over at her, the poor girl had nothing but the clothes on her back. as soon as they got to Budder city they needed to get her something for traveling in."Jeior, when will we be arriving to Butter City?" he asked as he set his gun next to his patch of grass. "Tomorrow. about noon tomorrow if we get started early."
"How early?" her majesty spoke up.
"5 or 6, why? is that a problem Princess?" he could hear irritation in his voice.
"That is Ambassador, Commander, Don't you dare pull rank on me. i have every right to know where i am going." her voice was so commanding, he had never heard her speak like this. now he could really hear Her father in her. "Jeior, just Listen to the girl, no need to get all offended." his commander could be over bearing. the Glasses wearing Ender glared at Surriol harshly before looking back to the woods. he chuckled and laid down in his spot next to Siphony. he brought his arms behind his head and stared up at the stars. he heard her lay down and settle in."I never knew how many stars there were... mother didn't make it sound like it was this many.." he looked over at her, her blue eyes wide with awe."It's too bad ya had to finally get to see them now, Missy." she sighed.
"Yeah... i hope Mama and Papa are ok... "He could hear the sorrow in her voice."Your Father is a strong Ender Siphony. He can take care of your mother." he silenced himself. he heard her move closer to him. "C-Can... i lay close to you? it's cold..." she whispered. he nodded and brought an arm around he. better him then Tren. she snuggled into his side and stilled."Goodnight Surriol." she whispered.
