Chapter 13: The Hatching

Zodie and Keanu where in the courtyard of the guild doing some combat training ever since that day in the town Keanu wanted to help out Zodie's combat prowers so that in the future he'll be able to handle himself in a fight.

It had been a couple of weeks since his training started the training was a little brutal but Zoide easily got the hang of it and his skills were improving. Keanu offered Wendy some lessons but she wasn't the fighting type and declined.

Keau came charging at Zodie with a punch but Zodie was able to use his strength against him by catching his fist grabbing his arm and tossing him to the side.

"Not bad lil''Z" Keanu said complimenting the child

"Thanks" Zodie said

"Wow Zodie is learning fast" Wendy said as she sat with Lupita on the side watching them

"Yep he's gonna grow up to be a strong young man and soon all the ladies will be after him, including you Wendy dear" Lupita said in a joking manner

Wendy got flustered and red in the face "Lupita stop it"

Lupita began laughing

Zodie was delivering kicks left to right to Keanu who easily blocked them grabbed the child's leg and tossed him a couple yards.

"WOW" Zodie shouted midair suddenly his dark wings sprouted and began to gain a proper flight pattern and flew toward Keanu.

"Here I come" Zodie shouted as he dived at Keanu right when Zodie was about to attack his wings disappeared and he landed flat onto his face.

"Oh no Zodie" Wendy said worriedly as she and Lupita came running to the boy's side

Zodie got back to his feet spitting up the dirt he may have swallowed

"Zodie are you okay" Wendy said as she ran to his side feeling his face

"Yeah i'm fine Wendy don't worry"

"Alright kiddo that's enough training for today, your getting real better Lil Z" Keanu said

"Your going to be a powerful Wizard someday sweety" Lupita said

"Thanks you guys" Zodie responded

"Come on sweety lets get your face patched up and something to eat" Lupita said

Zodie took Lupita by the hand and went off towards the kitchen for a bite to eat

Hours later

After lunch Zodie and Wendy went to watch over the egg it was shaking a lot lately which meant it was close to hatching.

"Zodie the egg has been shaking lately i hope it hatches soon" Wendy said

"Same i'm interested in what sort of creature it'll be" Zodie said back''

"OHHH I hope it's something that can fly" the kids said together with stars in their eyes

Soon Master Roubal walked into the room to check up on the kids

"Oh so this is where you kids have been good to see your doing well" He said with a smile

"Hi master" The kids say in unison

"You two have been watching this egg for weeks now and you have been doing it while your inside, why don't you kids take the egg outside for some sunlight"

"That sounds like a great idea I could use some sunshine anyway" Zodie said

"Alright then sounds good" said Wendy

"I know a perfect spot to get some sunlight in the forest maybe it'll be good for the egg" Master Roubal told them

He gave them a carrier sack to hold the egg in, but of course Zodie offered to carry it for Wendy being the gentlemen.

"Thanks master" Wendy told them

"No problem you kids go and have some fun and stay safe"

With that the two kids ran off into the woods with the egg

"Oh kids what I give to be young again" Master Roubal told himself.


In the forest

The woods looked beautiful that day the sun shone far and wide through the environment, Zodie found the spot master Roubal told them about, and he was right, it was a perfect view to get some sunshine and see the sun rise.

"Oh man that sunlight feels amazing on my skin so warm and loving" Zodie said

"I could stay here forever standing in it's sunshine" Wendy replied

Zodie then took the egg out the bag and placed it gently on the pillow and positioned it where the sun could direct it's light onto it.

"There we go now the egg can get a warm feel of the sun" said Zodie

"Yeah the egg looks like it's warm and is loving the feeling" Wendy replied

The two kids sat down enjoying the sunlight taking In the lovely area

"Say Wendy can I ask you something"? Said Zodie

"Sure what's up"?

"how did you find yourself at Caitshelter exactly , when Grandeena disappeared".

"Oh well right when She went missing I began looking for her, I got lost wandering around until I met this older boy his name was Jellal" Wendy said.

"Jellal"? Zodie asked

"Yeah when we met, he told me he was lost to and was traveling, so he let me tag along with him, we got close he was like an older brother to me he prot cited me from danger and everything"

zodie then noticed she was gaining a sad look on her face

"But soon after that he told me that we shouldn't be traveling anymore and then that's when he took me to Caitshelter where I met master Roubal and the others".

"Oh no Wendy I'm sorry if I brought up any sad memories I let my curiosity get the best of me" Zodie said

"No no it's okay I should've told you this before so don't worry, besides your my friend we can tell each other these things".

As the two kids were conversations they looked behind themselves to see the egg was shaking this time in a more fast pace.

"Wow Zodie look the egg" Wendy said

"Oh man I've never seen it move like that" zodie said

As he got closer to the egg trying to grab it the egg suddenly slammed into zodie face knocking him down to the ground.

"Wow that hurt" Zodie said grabbing his nose holding his tears

"Oh are you okay"? Wendy asked

"Yeah the egg just sucker punched me for no reason" zodie said quite peeved

"It probably didn't mean it" Wendy said

"Sure" Zodie replied still upset

"Look on the bright side this egg is close to hatching soon" Wendy told Zodie trying to cheer up her friend.

"Yeah you…" zodie spoke but spoke stopped

"The egg it's gone" The boy said frightened

"Gone where" Wendy said as the two kids looked around frantically

"There it goes zodie said pointing to the egg it was rolling down a hill.

"After it" Wendy screamed

The kids dove down hill after the egg avoiding oncoming rocks, Zodie was the faster runner so he caught up to it first and was about to grab it.

"Almost got it, almost" said Zodie but then took an unfortunate tumble from a tick and fell to the ground.

"Oh no Zodie" Wendy yelled at to her friend in worry.

Zodie shot up to his feet and looked around for the egg and he spotted it.

Wendy caught up with Zodie

"Zodie your okay where is the egg"?

Zodie pointed out towards a cave where the egg was sitting.

"Oh there it is let's get it" Wendy said

The kids were about to run to the cave but we're soon stopped by the sight of a beast it was the size of a bear it had yellow skin with red spots, black horns and menacing red eyes.

As soon as it saw the egg it picked it up and took it inside of it's cave

"Oh no the egg it was taken by that beast" Wendy said

"Simple we go in after it and get the egg back" Zodie answers

"But wait shouldn't we get Someone's help from the guild first" Wendy said

"There's no time Wendy if we leave now and then come back who knows what'll happen to the egg, it'd probably be eaten by know".

Wendy pondered for a couple of minutes then agreed

"Okay let's go" Wendy said

The two kids crept up towards the cave and walked inside the path was quite long but unfortunately they reached the middle of it.

"That beast has to be around here somewhere" Zodie said

After a few more seconds they came upon a nest with the egg inside of it

"Hey there it is" Wendy pointed out

Zodie looked all around making sure they wouldn't be spotted by the beast

"I don't see the beast anywhere so were good, let's take the egg and lets get out of here" Zodie told Wendy.

Wendy went ahead and picked up the egg and the two turned around and walked towards the exit all was going perfectly until they heard a low growling sound then it started getting louder.

"What was that" Wendy said in a worried tone.

The kids both turned to the source and saw a shadowy figure with glowing eyes, as it crept towards them it got bigger and bigger until it was revealed, none other then the beast they had encountered before.

The Beast let out a large roar then stands up right and approaches us with its teeth bared, Wendy looked terrified while Zodie stood bravely shielding his friend.

"Wendy stay behind okay" Zodie said.

The beast then went down on all fours and charged at the children but Zodie took it upon himself to pull wnedy out of the way to avoid the beast. This made the beast run it's face straight into the wall knocking it unconcious.

"Oh man that was close" Wendy said

"You okay Wendy"? Zodie asked

"Yeah im fine"

"Now let's get out of here" he said

As the kids were about to leave the cave they heard footsteps coming from behind them.

"Great what now" Zodie said taking a fighting position

Waiting for a few seconds they were expecting the company of even more Beast, well they were half right they were indeed met by more beast but they were much smaller than expected.

"What" Zodie exclaimed

"They're so tiny they must be it's babies, so the beast must be a girl" Wendy said

The baby beast both ran to their mothers side worried for her condition, all three of them began to weep.

Zodie started to put everything together then came up with a solution

"Wendy I get it now the mother was only trying to feed her babies that's why she stole the egg she thought it was food" Zodie pointed out.

"All it was doing was feeding her babies, just doing what any other parent would do for their child" Wendy said.

The two kids then began to reflect on their own parents and what they did for them, sympathy began to show on their faces.

"We should do something to help them Zodie" Wendy spoke up

"Maybe we should help them out a little" after all this was kind of a misunderstanding"

" yeah you're right" Zodie replied

"I'll stay here and see if I can heal the mother beast" Wendy said.

"Sounds good I'll go see if I can find them some food" Zodie said.

With that Zodie dashed out of the cave to look for something good to eat, whilst Wmedy tended to the mother beast.

As Wendy approached the beast family the babies were a little frightened.

"Don't be scared I won't hurt you I wanna help your mama" Wendy told them in a calm voice.

The baby beast seemed to understand so they relaxed and let Wendy come closer, she knelt down toawrds the Mother Beast did her thing.


WITH Zodie

Zodie was out gathering some food for the beast family he had a nice haul of delicious fruit and some fish from a nearby leak.

"Alrighty then this should be enough better get back to the cave"

That being said Zodie went back to the cave hoping Wendy was okay all by herself

Back in the cave

Zodie arrived back inside of the cave with all the supplies he saw Wendy playing with the baby beast and the mother beast was watching over the egg

"Hey im back and look at what I bought" Zodie said

Though Zodie regretted saying this when he was tackled to the ground by the baby beast as they were getting the food that Zoide brought them.

"Wendy help me please" Zodie said as he was being attacked

After a few seconds the babies got off him and Zodie was able to stand up The babies began to snuggle against Zodie making the boy laugh because their fur was so ticklish.

Zodie looked over and also saw Wendy getting tickled by the mother beast

"They're such kind and sweet creatures Wendy said"

Two of the baby beast brought over the fruit Zodie brought them and gave it to both Zodei and Wendy.

"You want us to eat it okay thanks" Zodie said

Both the kids ate the shared food with the beast family then after that the babies were playing with Zodie and Wendy on the outside of the cave.

Zodie and Wendy were having a lot of fun they didn't notice that hours were going by and the sun was beginning to set.

"Wow look at the time" Wendy pointed

"Oh man, it'll be dark very soon we'd better get back to the guil so we don't worry everybody" Zodie said.

With that being said Zodie and Wendy packed up the egg and said their goodbyes to the beast family.

"Bye mama beast bye babies well be sure to come visit" Wendy said

The beast family waved them goodbye and Zodie and Wendy walked back to Cait shelter.


Cait Shelter

Back at the guild Master Roubal was sitting at his shrine resting and enjoying a smoke Lupita brought over a drink for him.

"Ahh why thank you Lupita" Roubal said as he took a swig

"Say master where did Wendy and Zodie say they'd be going"

"Oh I told them about a nice little spot in the woods not to far from here, it's a nice place fpr some sunlight". Roubal replied.

"I just hope they don't get into any trouble" Keanu said as he came walking over with a basket filled with fish.

"I'm sure that they're fine, in fact they're on their way now" Roubal said

"Heeeyyy master were back" A voice had said

The three looked into the direction of the voice and seeing Zodie and Wendy

"Yeah see I was right hey kiddos did you have fun" Roubal asked

"Yeah we met beast that we thought was dangerous but instead was friendly" Wendy said

"Uh huh we played with her babies all day to it was a lot of fun" Zodie added.

"Cool Im glad you two had so much fun" Lupita added

"How's the egg doing by the way"? Keanu asked

The two kids were both holding onto it together "it's doing pretty good," they said in unison

Suddenly the egg began to shake in their hands more and more until it hoped out of their hands it then began to hover in the air then glow.

"Wow what's happening to the egg"? Wendy said

"I think it's about to hatch" Lupita said

The children's eyes lit up with excitement this caused scene making every member present their to gather and see this wonderful sight.

"Oh man We're gonna meet our friend Zodie at last I cant wait"Wendy said as she was shaking Zodie like crazy which didn't bother him in the slightest, because he was too excited to see this new creature.

After seconds had gone by the egg had stopped glowing went back down to the ground and it hatched, Zodie and Wendy got closer to whatever was inside the egg, it was revealed to be a small cat like creature with pink ears and brown eyes. Every member present their was captivated by the kittens charm it was so adorable.

"Wow inside the egg was just a kitten is that where cats come from" Zodei said

"Whatever the case is she's so cute" Wendy said as she knelt down closer towards the cat.

Master Roubal walked over to Zodie and placed a hand on his shoulder and looked to Wendy

"Children Im most proud of you together you both brought this creature to life" Well done indeed.

"Thank you master" They said in Unison

Lupita walked over and crouched next to Wendy "Oh my goodness she's so adorable"

Zodie had a confused look on his face then walked over to Lupita Wendy was just as confused

"How do you know it's a girl" they said in unison

"Oh I'll tell you that when you two are older she said with a smile on her face

Finally Keanu walked up to them

"So kiddos what are you gonna name her, if she's gonna stay here she'll need a name" Keanu said.

The kids were pondering trying to come up with a name for their friend.

"If were a boy I was thinking of naming it Charles but since it's a girl I don't know" Zodie said

"I know what about Carla, it's really close to charles but more feminime" Lupita suggested.

The kids thought it over for a second then they looked at one another and agreed

"I like it" Zodie said

"Carla it is" Wendy added


Minutes later

Master Roubal gave Carla her guild stamp and Wendy held her up for all to see

"Members of Cait shelter" We have been blessed with a new addition to our guild, for the first time ever a member who is not a human but a new species". He announced

"Let's welcome her to our guild Carla" Roubal added

All the members let out a cheer of happiness and the whole guild threw a feast of celebration.

Carla was looking around with an emotionless face till she had a look of worry in her eye's, visions of bad things flashed rushed through her mind, creating a scared look onto her face. This was interrupted when Wendy brought her to her face and Zodie walking over.

"Hi Carla my name is Wendy and this is Zodie let's all be friends" she cheered.

Carla looked at both of the kids then turned away from them hiding the look of worries in her eye's.
