Chapter 12 - Lucario's Patience Part 3
With Splero monitoring Lucario at best, Kara and Mike were also preparing for the unexpected because there might be a tendency of childbirth. While Kara was reading some medical books at the living room and Mike cleaning Splero's poisoned sword, Splero was talking to Lucario...
"Lucario, i have a few things in mind." - Splero said -
"Really? What is it, Splero?" - Lucario replied with a question -
"I have a few names for our child." - Splero replied back, smiling -
"Just wait for our child, Splero. Let's name him or her when the time comes." - Lucario said -
Splero smiled with her. He then noticed that Riolu and Vulpix were missing. He then turned to Mike and Kara...
"Guys, where's Riolu and Vulpix?" - Splero asked -
"They're outside, Splero. Why?" - Mike replied with a question -
"No reason, Mike." - Splero replied back -
Splero then stood up and looked on Lucario...
"I'm going to take a walk outside, Lucario. I'll be back." - Splero said -
"Ok, Splero. Take your time." - Lucario replied -
Splero then went outside. Lucario was then daydreaming on her bed as Kara finished her books and proceeded to the kitchen to cook a good meal for all of them.
Outside, Splero could see the blood skies above him. He realized that it's sunset and night will be coming soon. He looked below and he saw Riolu and Vulpix, talking with each other in the small water fountain. He went down and took the time to chat with them...
"Hey, guys. What are you both doing in here?" - Splero asked -
"We're just talking with each other, Splero." - Vulpix replied -
"About what?" - Splero asked, grinning -
"About our training sessions." - Riolu replied -
"We're training ourselves in the gyms available in the city so that we can compete others, Splero." - Vulpix added -
"Oh! Ok, then." - Splero realized -
Splero sat near the water fountain. He then took his wallet from his pocket and counted his money. Vulpix and Riolu noticed a few pictures in there...
"Hey, what are those?" - Riolu asked -
"What?" - Splero replied -
"Those pictures in there." - Riolu said, pointing his paw on his wallet -
"Oh, these? They were just pictures from the war long ago." - Splero replied -
Splero revealed to them his old pictures of his noble ones during the First Abez-Medezian War. In a "V-shaped" formation, Splero was posing himself along with Kyla, Tyler, Mike, Tyra and Parez. They're wearing their gold Great Abez clothes and their poisoned swords were hanging on their sides. Vulpix and Riolu were surprised...
"Wow! You're the leader of that dynasty, Splero?!" - Riolu exclaimed -
"Yes, Riolu. It took me a miracle to be a corrupt emperor before the war." - Splero replied -
"What war?" - Vulpix asked, curious -
"The First Abez-Medezian War, Vulpix. It's the dynasty's first bloody war against a rebellion of infidels and traitors long ago." - Splero replied -
"Oh! That's good!" - Riolu said, smiling -
Splero snickered along with them. Kara then went out and called them...
"Guys, it's chow time!" - Kara said, waving her hands at them -
Splero turned to Riolu and Vulpix...
"This is great, guys! Let's go and eat!" - Splero said -
Both of them nodded and they went inside to eat.
With a large plate of seared meat and healthy fish, they gathered up in the dinning table. Lucario was sitting aside Splero, Vulpix sitting with Riolu and Kara's sitting with Mike. Splero was so delighted...
"Good cooking, Kara. I didn't know you're a finest chef in the world." - Splero teased -
"Oh, stop it." - Kara replied, smiling -
"Ok, everybody. Let's say grace." - Mike said -
"I'll do it, Mike." - Splero replied -
They say grace along with Splero...
"Lord, we bless our meals for today and thank you for giving us strength and health in our daily lives. We are truly grateful with these divine meals that was being served for all of us today. In God's name we pray, Amen"
They then smiled along with each other...
"Now, everyone...Bon Appetit!" - Kara said -
They then started eating.
This is the end of Chapter 12. Wow! That ending really starved me indeed. Oh well! I'll eat later on, though. Stay tuned for Chapter 13, everyone!
