"RAENERISSS" shout out a voice trying to overcome the loud noise of talks and music in the background behind a young man with short blonde hair.
"here you are, i couldn't find you anywhere" he continued while his voice gets softer and closer.
"so you recovered, i thought you would miss the fireworks." responded Raeneris without taking his eyes away from the table where he was analyzing every bottle of alcohol and pour the little remains into a single plastic cup.
"miss the fireworks? Never, never, never. they organized the party here just for the view of the city."
"yeah, the first time i was astonished, but now it seems normal, it's crazy how quickly someone can be amazed by something and then see it like it is nothing special." meanwhile he pour another bit of alcohol into the cup looking at the city beneath the hill, the majority of it went onto the wood table.
"uuuhh, did you become a philosopher in my thirty minutes power nap?" he responded with a little laugh.
"fuck off Silmo. do you want to know what give you real power?" Raeneris said looking into his eyes with his dark brown eyes. "this lethal mix of every alcohol." shout out while rising proudly the cup.
"you... don't want to see the new millennium."
"a special drink for a special..." he remains silent looking into the cup. "ok, i dunno, i just wanted to try, maybe it'll be good.".
"ok champ." Silmo said while looking behind. "they don't have finished the preparetions?" asked watching a large group of drunk people working with large box filled with fireworks.
those boxes were placed to form a large cicle with a hole in the, not so right, middle. it takes almost the half of the space of that enormous unkept garden that slowly goes down revealing an amazing landscape filled with mountains and a tons of roads connecting the city with villages or with others cities.
"no, they're still connecting the wires together. oh, so what is the surprise you told me before?"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"HERE IT COMES, THE WORLDSHAKERS" shout out someone.
two people came out, cheered by others like stars, from the old and barely standing mansion trasporting an immense metal box without the top but what Raeneris saw confused him. it contains a dozen, or little more, thick, really thick, fireworks.
"THAT is the most illegal and most powerful firework in the entire world. don't ask me how they manage to buy so many of them, but they just did it." said Silmo watching the two man trasporting the Worldshakers and placing it into the, not so right, middle.
"do you remember the factory that explode a few weeks ago?" continued Silmo. "i don't watch the tv and i don't give a shit" interrupted Raeneris.
"well" he continued as soon as Raeneris finished to talk. "one of them, ONLY one, made a hole into the groud, and then the entire factory ceased to exist basically, because it was full of illegal stuff like that."
"so, point one, let me see a photo, second, do you are excited to watch that thing, if something goes wrong, which it's probably especially watching how they're preparing it, we explode." said genuinely scared of it.
Silmo made a little laugh in the meantime he took his phone. "i'm also-" he watched the phone as if something terrible happened.
"FIVE MINUTES TO THE NEW ERAAA" scream with all of his power to overcome the loud music.
"WE KNOW DUMBASS, GET HERE AND HELP US INSTEAD" respond a tall and skinny guys who were checking the wires between every box
"i don't think i will." whispered to Raeneris. "come, let's find a safe and calm spot to admire the view. I don't feel safe here either."
Raeneris watch Silmo walk and start to checking out every possible spot, he follow without hesitation, drinking from the cup.
at the end, they steal two plastic chairs and place them in a fairly good spot, where they can watch their fireworks show but also the city and the valley beneath them, which already were celebrating. that spot wasn't calm but it was too much to ask and there were way too many people to find a spot without someone near.
"it was good your innovative drink?" asked Silmo while tie his black smooth hair up.
"it was... strange, i hate it at first but then leaves pleasant flavour." responded looking at the final preparation.
"let me ask you this." Silmo leans forward to watch better Raeneris. "did you have fun here?" asked seriously.
Raeneris surprise look him in disbelief. "yeah, yeah. i drink and had a lot of fun, but at the end of the day i just wanted that the other were here with us, but everyone organized differently."
"Dewon and Vyllim went with those assholes instead of us. the other i could understand, being with their family or on trip. but they went with the same group they said to hate." said furiously.
"they resolve with that and they knew them, literally, for a life. i, instead, only for five year." respond calmly.
