Chapter 3- Adjustment
When I woke up the next morning, Darius was still asleep but Mr. Crepsley was already up. He was shaving. He grunted "Morning." I rubbed my eyes and said good morning to him. I sat on top of my coffin waiting for Darius to wake up. A while later, Darius woke up. He yawned and stretched, wished us both good morning, and jumped out of his coffin. I was going to leave them to talk while I went to breakfast when Darius stopped me. "Just a minute, KayLi. We got to make a quick stop somewhere first."
Sometime later, Darius was ready to take me wherever he was going to bring me. Mr. Crepsley left for the Halls Of Khledon Lurt . Darius led me around the tunnels and finally we stopped in front of a big, wooden door. Darius opened it, and I saw it was full of clothes. Darius looked around the room and finally settled his gaze on me. "Most of these clothes may be a bit big but there should be something here. You should change out of your old clothes. You can even get a cape if you like." Darius winked, picked out a green cloak for himself and swung it over him. "I'll be waiting for you outside."
When he was gone, I looked around the room. After maybe 15 minutes, I picked out a red polo, dark red knee length shorts and a red cape. When I left the room, Darius was leaning on the wall waiting. When he saw my all red attire, he groaned. " You look SOOO much like Larten right now, but red IS your favourite colour. So…" he smiled weakly " Come on then. Let's go eat."
In the Halls Of Khledon Lurt, Mr. Creplsey,Seba and Darren were waiting at a table. Me and Darius joined them." Before anyone says anything, KayLi didn't copy you. Red is her favourite colour." Dariuslaughed as he sat down. Darren raised an eyebrow when he saw my attire but said nothing. Seba laughed. "What a sight we must look now! One dressed completely in blue, one in green and three of us dressed completely in red." Even Mr. Crepsley had to smile at that.
Later, Darren was explaining to us what they have discussed in the Hall of Princes last night. According to him, Mr. Tiny had told them what would happen if they refused to partake. Mr. Tiny said the winners of the game would be safe, whilst the losers would lose their most important treasure. Mr. Crepsley cursed again. " What would be so important to us anyway?" Darren, with a grim face, replied.
" If we lose, we lose the Stone of Blood."
Sorry this was a short one, and sorry the games haven't started yet. I seriously like wearing red in real life. In fact, as I'm typing this I'm wearing a red polo, red Bermudas, a red watch and red socks. xD
