30.
Peace and Quiet at last.
Everyone is in their bed,
No one is talking,
The candles are blown out,
Except one,
And I can finally rest… Finally.
The bed I'm laying in is truly soft, If only I listened to Xelha's manufacturing raw materials poem to know what they were made of. In Savyna's house, there are five beds. I am not sure why there's not a sixth, but sucks if there's ever six of us.. There's two on one side, and three on the older. Xelha and I have the two, Kalas, Gibari and Savyna have the three, but Gibari and Savyna are sharing- go figure.
The one thing I can't get off my mind is the mill outside where the waterfall is, I wish that thing was broken.. I bet the village was much quieter. The house shakes slightly, and the noise is really loud, but I guess they are used to it.
Suddenly, I hear a loud sound.. Almost as a rawring sound, becoming louder, then faint, then loud again- I sit up on my bed, trying to look, but it was dark, and the candle that was on wasn't near where the beds are placed. I slip out of bed and grab the candle on the far side of the home, and walk over to where the beds are, shining it on everything. This noise was becoming so loud I started becoming scared..
Until I shine the candle light on Gibari.
"What an abnormal way of snoring," I whisper to myself.
His snoring was…unique, you could say. It sounded as if he was yelling and screaming, then a slight whistle, as if he was blowing a whistle. It was loud- really loud. I look over to Savyna, and she was quietly sleeping.. How could she tolerate this?!
"Oh my goodness," I whisper, "Why me!"
I put the candle back to the far side of the house and crawl back into bed, staring at the ceiling, even though I can't see it.
Then, I hear talking.
I jump up, and hear talking coming from my left side, its Xelha. I didn't even have to get the candle to know that's her.
"What's wrong, Xelha?" I say to her.
She was talking, but apparently not to me.
What the hell's going on?!
I decide to roll out of bed- AGAIN- and grab the light to see what's going on. I shine it on Xelha, and she's kneeled down with her back facing me on the floor praying again.
"No." I say, "Please, no."
She started praying about bed manufacturing ALL OVER AGAIN. That prayer took about forty-five minutes, I could not deal. I thought Gibari's snoring was bad, now I have to deal with these two. Who the hell Sleep-prays? About beds? I'm not understanding.
I put the candle back to the far side of the house, again, and make my way into bed trying to drown out Xelha's praying and Gibari's snoring.
I thought it was worse?
Ha, nope.
I hear crunching.
"What the flying fuck?!" I start getting angry. I fly out of bed and grab the candle again, making my way towards the sound of crunching.. When I have no words to describe what I'm seeing.
"Uh, Savyna?" I whisper, "Are….you okay?" I say awkwardly.
"Positive." She says with her hair over her face blocking whatever she's eating, "I just…felt a little hungry, that's all."
She is hunched over eating God knows what with crumbs all over her face. Now I'm going to have to try to block out Savyna's crunching, Xelha's praying, Gibari's snoring, and the mill. This isn't happening, it's just not. I could be a walking zombie right now, I'm exhausted, and I can't even sleep.
"Okay…well, goodnight Savyna." I say slowly, while backing up.
"Night!" she says with a mouth full of food in her mouth like a hungry Ape.
Backing into my bed, I lay on my back trying to do this again, but from the looks of it, I know I'm not going to be able to drown out this noise.. But I try. I close my eyes.
Then, I see a spontaneous flash of light though my eyelids.
I open my eyes to see the room is fully lit up. Not by fire, no, from Kalas. I was blinded, this time the light was even brighter than before, it was like Xelha's soul flash was stuck on a glitch.
"Fuck, this is fucking crazy." I yell while throwing down my pillow, "Savyna, are you seeing this shit?"
Oddly enough she isn't.. her back is still turned to the wall, eating like she's possessed. I'm not understanding what's happening, everyone is still sleeping, except Savyna, even my Greythorne is sleeping.
"KALAS!" I yell, picking up my pillow to throw at him, "Wake UP!" I chuck the pillow at his head, but he only turns positions.
"WHY ME!" I yell, "I'm out of here." I grab my blanket and wrap it around me, then.
"Squeeeeaaaaaaaak!" the agonizing squeaking of Greythornes, but this time, it was worse. Meemai and Oreo were both on the window ledge squeaking, but it's like they were howling.
"Oreo!" I yell, "Stop!" I cover my ears.
Kalas grunts, "What the hell is that sound?!" he gets up and rubs his eyes.
"Now you wake up, asshole?!" I shout at him.
"Hey, what's the big deal, and why is the room so bright?!" he questions.
"It's YOU!" I say, pointing at him, "We need to take you to Larikush, this glowing is starting to get on my last nerve."
Savyna gets up while eating a number of different foods in her hands and walk over to Xelha and dumps a strawberry smoothie on her head, causing her to wake up and scream.
"AGH!" she yells, "What is this atrocious outcome!?" she tries to take the shake out of her hair, "Savyna?!"
"I wanted to drink that," she says, "but you're mumbling was annoying, Xelha, and you wouldn't wake up." there's food stuffed in her mouth.
Xelha gets up and squints her eyes from the brightness, "Wait a minute, is that all our food Magnus'?"
"No way!" I yell, "How the hell did you get all of ours!"
"Lets say they are, so what?" she smirks.
"HAHA GOOD ONE!" I start to crack, "Bitch you owe us some custard." I fall onto my bed, like I'm a drunkard.
"Savyna, why would you even think of doing that?!" Kalas yells.
She pushes her hair back out of her face, "Kalas, you gave Melodia our 'Che' End Magnus, You cannot comment on such a thing compared to this." Savyna says.
"I…You…" Kalas pauses, "Well, someone can hold a grudge." he mutters. "I should a used Malpercio's powers on you, then."
"How about I shut that Shining Seraph up?" Savyna challenges, putting down all the food on the table.
"Not a chance!" Kalas yells back, he picks up a Magnus from his pocket "Sword style, Flash Explosion!"
Instead of a fiery explosion coming from under Savyna's feet, it was a rotten fruit hitting her in the face, showing brown sticky juice on her face, and an angry Savyna.
Kalas laughed hard, falling back onto his bed, "You thought I was actually going to use 'Flash Explosion?' That rotten fruit hitting you was better than any sword style!" he continues to laugh.
Savyna's stale face wiped off the rotten fruit remained on her face, and charged at Kalas with a Magnus, "Eat this!" she yelled, as a crying doll whacked Kalas in the head, and he fell unconscious, causing the light to stop as he hit the floor.
I get up from bed, "Thank you, Savyna." I'm too tired to even worried about Kalas' being, but that was one less thing was bothering me.
"Kalas!" Xelha yells, running over to him, "Are you awake?!"
"He's knocked out cold." Savyna says, "That'll teach him.." Savyna walked over to Kalas with a Magic Pen Magnus. "He won't know what's happen, move aside Xelha."
Xelha scoots over, and Savyna crotches down and seems to be writing on his face a message that says, "I'm owned by Savyna." and pats his cheek.
"Sweet dreams," Savyna taunts, then stuffs a piece of shortcake into her mouth.
"Wow," I say, "This is the second time tonight he's been knocked out," I fold my arms, "no wonder those Rock Cats got him so easily." I say sarcastically.
"Kalas!" Xelha yells as she's patting his face for him to wake up, "It's okay, you'll be fine!"
As Xelha freaks out in the corner, it's probably a few minutes to morning. From the mill shaking up the house, to Xelha's constant talking, to the Greythornes squowling, to Gibari's snoring, and Savyna's weird craving for food chewing so loudly, I couldn't stay up any longer. My eye started to twitch, my legs started to quiver, I never had a nice so stressful in my life.
I knock down a vase full of flowers that had a tag on them saying "from Mayfee" on it, "WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG?!" I yell in distress.
"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
A roaring so loud it shuck the house, waking even Kalas from his unconsciousness stunned us all, had us all staring around the dark house. The Greythornes stopped squowling, and hopped off of the window ledge startled by the noise from outside. At least that was one less thing to worry about.
"What the fuck was that?" I say, stunned by darkness as my eyes are bolded, "This village is haunted or some shit." I say while getting up.
"I don't know…" Xelha says concerned, "But sitting here isn't going to answer that question." she says while walking over to the door.
"Huh?" Kalas says getting up and rubbing his head, "I swear you all are the worst roommates, lets go."
We all run outside as the cool ocean breeze slaps us with awakening and without further dialogue, we see the White Dragon before our eyes, she looked like something was wrong with her, from the way she was positioned in the air.
"Oh my goodness!" Xelha cries, "She flew all the way to Opu village to tell us she's not feeling well, didn't you-Oh White Dragon!"
No body says a word, Kalas, Savyna and I look at each other with a puzzled face expression.
"It's okay now," she says while gently petting the dragons nose, "I'll take you back to Wazn at dusk, I promise," she whispers to the white dragon.
"Uhh, Xelha?" Kalas interrupts, walking up to her putting his hand on her shoulder, "How were you even able to know that?"
"I know when there's something off about my dragon, Kalas." Xelha tells him, looking down at the ground.
Savyna walks up to the dragon studying it, "But is that smart?" she says, "If it is in fact true that we have to go to Correllia's palace by sunrise, we are going to be needing that dragon. If not, we have no other source of transportation."
"But we can't keep riding her and she's sick!" Xelha runs up to the dragon to pet her, "That would not be fair, I need to take her back as soon as possible."
The White Dragon whimpered and cried as it's appearance was getting worse.
"Well, she should be fine for tonight," I say, "We can go take her at sunrise, then maybe we can sort something out for transportation… lets just hope that we aren't going to the Palace tomorrow, and that the meeting has anything to do with the restoration of the end magnus', at least not now." I tell them.
"You read my mind," Kalas says, "Well, I'm going back to bed." he says while walking back into the logged house, "Hang in there, big guy!" he says to the dragon, signaling a thumbs up.
"Yeah…" I say awkwardly, "We should head inside, come on Xelha." I say to her.
She looks at the dragon with that look, that look that says 'I need to do the right thing', or maybe it's because she's about to cry. I walk up to her grabbing her wrist and pull her back inside, "She'll be fine, she's still alive after all these generations." I tell her.
The Dragon looks at Xelha, with an expression it always has, who knows what it's trying to tell her, but I hope she'll be okay.
"All right." she whisperers, "I promise White Dragon, We will take you right at sunrise." she tells her, reaching her arm out to her before I close the door.
She sighs once I close the door, and walks over to the window to look at the dragon, then closes her eyes, "Oh White Dragon," she says to herself, "Oh how strong you are, hang in there for me, okay?"
I walk over to Xelha and look at the White Dragon, "Just sleep it off, it's almost morning anyway, and we all haven't got any sleep… or much." I tell them, rubbing my tired eyes.
"I hear ya on that one," Kalas says while laying down facing up at the ceiling, "I wish I didn't wake up… so I can't hear Gibari's snoring."
"Yeah," I say as I turn around to face him, "like, does he always snore, Savyna?" I ask her.
She walks over to the bed he's sleeping on and sits beside him, "No, this is part of the reason why we didn't choose to live here in Opu village," she runs her fingers though the parts of his hair, "Gibari has serious allergies to the flowers here in Komo Mai, and Opu village Is probably the worst."
"Humph," Kalas sits up, "I'm not sleeping a wink tonight."
"Well we might as well try, lets just hope the meeting isn't actually today." I tell them.
We all settle into bed, but Xelha stays by the window looking out at the dragon. The moonlight reflected off of her face as she looked out the window with pouted lips and tears on her face. My vision started to face as my consciousness started to face..
BANG.
Savyna's door falls to the ground allowing the moonlight to come into the house, everyone but Gibari wakes up from our five minute sleep to see to dark figures by the door, and one who was floating.
"You be late, you all!" a voice said.
