Here's the next chapter of Mutaku! It came sooner than the last one, and I'm proud of it. You'll have to wait a little longer for the next one, but I will give you more next week. And now, the review:

Wendy Pierce: Thanks for your review! Off course Boz would tell them. Let's see if Mikayla succeeds in finding Brady and bringing him back to the castle.

Enjoy!

Mikayla had, at first, walked out of the castle. Yet, once she was outside the castle walls, she started to run. She ran as fast as she could, not knowing if she came closer to Brady or not. And even if she didn't know where Brady is, she would keep on running until she had found the lost King.

Brady... It had been her fault he had left the island. Because she called him immature. Because she said he won't grow up as long as he was King. Because she said she wouldn't date him unless he matured. Because she said all those things, Brady left the island with his most prized possessions and only left a note.

And now he was back. Or maybe he never even left the island only let the balloon go to make them think he left the island. And if he had stayed on the island, how come nobody said anything about being saved by Sirocco? But how did she even know it was Brady and not just someone posing as Sirocco? She'd call it intuition later. She just knew it was Brady and not an imposter. Mikayla was left confused by those questions facing through her mind.

She realized the most important thing was that he was back and that Mikayla could apologize to him. She didn't think of anything else. She barely felt how the branches and leafs hit her as she ran past them. Wherever she met someone - anyone but a Tarantula - she asked that person if they had seen someone dressed up like Sirocco. And every time the person answered they had not seen Sirocco.

After an hour, she still was running. She needed to find him. She had done things she regretted and needed to get things straight. Yet, she started to lose her focus and soon found herself falling. She landed with her face in the dirt after stumbling over a root.

She hoped she'd find Brady soon.


Brady was sitting on a branch in a random tree. He wasn't planning on coming down soon because it took him a lot of effort to actually get in that tree. From here, he couldn't see very far. The other trees and the bushes down blocked his view, even if Brady himself was extremely visible in his red and black outfit. He couldn't care less as he was thinking about home.

He tried to think about Chicago, but his family and friends on Kinkow always came into mind. How was Boomer doing right now? He probably was doing something very Boomer-like. Mikayla and Mason were probably trying to stop him from doing stupid things and Lanny would be watching, scouting encouraging comments and more. And something, that redhead kept coming into mind. Why did he even entree the jungle? And what were those Tarantulas doing on the Light Side? Something was very wrong, and he needed to figure out why, even if it probably had something to do with the so-called prophecy from Seer-King Draven Parker.

"Brady!" His eyes widened. That voice... It can't be! He turned his head to the source of the voice and soon saw her. Goodness, she still was amazingly hot. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He took his chance to look at her. He had to miss that sight for a year and longer and he had no idea if he would ever see it again. And, of course, she had been the one to spot him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in his Sirocco accent. He had no idea why he would use it now, but he did. Mikayla stepped a bit closer while Brady remained seated in the tree. There was a smile on her face. Wow, she really did have the most beautiful smile in the world.

"I was looking for you." She responded, "I'm so glad you're back." Brady just looked at her. Was she really glad he was back? Or would she go back to acting distant as soon as she learned he hasn't really matured?

"Why were you looking for me?" He needed to know. Did she come out of curiosity or did someone tell her to go looking for him? Because that redhead must've told all his friends about Sirocco's return. Wait, how does Mikayla know the redhead?

"I just..." Mikayla sighed before continuing, "I need to talk to you."

"About what?"

"About you."

"M-me?" Brady wasn't taken aback she wanted to talk, but the discussion topic did surprise him. He even stopped using the accent. Mikayla smiled when he heard his accent-less voice.

"Yes. Listen, I'm sorry for what I said on the night you left. You're pretty mature in your own personal way. And I really didn't want you to leave. Brady, you have to come back to the palace. We need you. I need you." Brady was surprised to hear that she needed him. she could take care of herself. Unless she wanted to be close to him and actually love him, there was no reason for her to be close to him. she might have missed him.

"I've heard Boomer could handle things without me." He eventually said, giving of the signal that he didn't want to come. He had no idea if Boomer could handle things, but he guessed he did. He still did have Mason and Lanny at his side, so things should be running smoothly around here unless trouble has arisen with the prophecy.

"He's had some help," Mikayla admitted. "Brady, please, forgive me and come back to the castle with me. Boom wants to see you. My dad wants to see you... Please come back. Things weren't the same without you." He was impressed. She actually pleaded to him to come back home. Brady eventually sighed. He really wanted to go home. Why did he even come to the jungle in the first place?

"Fine. I'll come with you."

"Thanks. And welcome back on Kinkow."
