Φ Opening my eyes, I turn my head to Dush and say, “Good morning.”
“Good morning, Lanty,” Mime says as she gives me a peck on the forehead.
Smacking Mime in the head I say, “Don’t get carried away.”
Jumping up from the bed Mime screams, “OUCCCH!”
Whilst holding me from my other side I see Anto wake up and say, “Mime what is wrong?”
“Don’t mind her Anto, she is just being a crybaby.”
“I am not, she is just being a witch.”
Laying up on the bed, I say, “Call me that again and you really will see a witch.”
As me and Mime fight, Anto says, “Where is Dush?”
Looking around I notice she isn’t in the room, “Maybe she got an early morning, let’s go look for her.”
Getting up from the bed both of the twins jump on my back.
“Your body is so strange.”
“It is muscular but also very soft, it feels cool.”
“Get off you pests, use your legs and walk.”
“NO, WE DON’T WANT TO.”
“I WANT TO BE CARRIED.”
With all my strength I try to shake them off while saying, “DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE, WALK!!”
-Break-
“Ooh Lanty, move over there.”
“Lanty, I want you to go faster.”
Moving through the hallway of the mansion with the two mistakes on my back I say, “Who the hell would ever want this!”
Getting these two to come off my back was almost impossible, so it was a more efficient use of time to just carry them. But I do guess their smiling faces are kind of cute.
“Hurry the hell up Lanty, I can walk faster than that!”
When Mime finishes complaining, Anto suddenly sneezes on my face. “Sorry Lanty, I couldn’t hold it in.”
Taking a piece of my hair, Mime says, “Anto use this to blow your nose.”
Using my hair Anto blows his nose and says, “Thanks Mime.”
Stopping, I put spirit energy into my legs then I jump up into the nearest wall smashing two of them into it. “DIE YOU MISTAKES.”
When we all land on the ground Anto holds his head while Mime says, “Have you gone insane, you don’t hurt cute little kids like us. Have you no honour?”
“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO ROBS THE ELDERLY!”
“Shut up, that’s all in the past now me and Dush are friends, but it is not like a friendless nobody like you would understand such a thing, I bet even your parents didn’t like you!!”
“That’s it your fault in god’s plan; I am going to finish your late abortions!!!”
Φ Lanty looks mad, I might have gone too far with that last one. “Anto get up we can’t die here.”
Looking at Lanty, Anto says, “Mime what did you do!”
“It is too late to point fingers, all we can do is defend ourselves.”
As we get in battle position, Lanty says, “Here I come!!” as she zooms towards us. She is moving way too fast for me to react; “We're dead!”
“Lady Lanta!” A voice says behind her. As Lanty stops in her tracks, she turns around which allows me and Anto to see behind her.
“Elliot,” she says.
Elliot seems kind of bothered as if he is shaking. Running up to him Lanty asks, “What’s wrong?”
But then he says something to her which causes Lanty to take off and say, “Watch the two kids.” Lanty seemed even more freaked out than Elliot.
Φ No, no, this can’t be, this is some sick joke, she was all fine yesterday. More than that she promised me, she promised! “FUUUUUUUCK!!”
Running nonstop I eventually reach Kriks room where I see a bunch of servants outside. As I approach, I see one of the maids crying while saying, “I just found her inside when I went to clean the study, and she was just lying there!”
Running past all of them I open the door of the study to see, Dush behind his desk toppled over with Servants around her. Moving to her side, I start to shake her body again and again while saying, “Wake up you dumb bitch, you said we would go have fun, that we would go find tusk. Didn’t you say I was your best friend, you can’t just leave me all alone after that you hag.”
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
With tears falling down my eyes I continue as all the servants pry me off of Dush.
-Break-
Sitting outside Dush’s room huddled into a ball I say, “Us, why did you go.”
I see Anto and Mime walk up to me, so I say “I am not in the mood you too.”
Handing me a letter Anto says, “I found two letters on the floor, it seems they fell off the desk. This one is addressed to you.”
Grabbing the letter out of Anto's hand I open it and start to read.
To Lanta my best friend.
By the time your read this I have probably gone to hell, sorry about that!
You see the village I grew up in wasn’t the best as you know, and all the conditions I suffered through all those years had a rather large effect on my body.
To be honest, for years my body has wanted to quit, but only through the sheer force of will to complete the scarf have I been able to continue moving. I knew the moment I finished the scarf, my body would topple over, so I am sorry.
But in exchange, Lanta I leave you all of my assets, do with them what you will, I hope this will be enough to get your forgiveness. Though I guess I was a drag after all.
I had wonderful parents, a husband, a best friend, an amazing son, and I accomplished my dream; a rather good life if I had to say so. Thank you for everything Lanta, and I better not see you in hell!!!
Ps: Please find Tusk and give him a piece of my inheritance, also make sure he is ok I won’t be able to sleep if my boy is in danger.
“You really are annoying,” I say with tears in my eyes.
“Lanty are you ok?”
Jumping up with fervour I say, “Of course I am fine, I have lots of things to do my friend left me with her legacy and a mission I don’t have time to be fine, especially since she is watching me from heaven.”
Hugging my leg, Mime says, “Don’t push yourself too hard ok.”
“Don’t worry I happen to have common sense ok.”
Suddenly a familiar echo rings around us. Hearing this I take off towards the nearest window. Looking out of it I say, “They’re here, it is Gevurah on their gryphons!”
-Break-
Φ Standing in front of my house with my wife beside me, I watch as three gryphons land on our land.
Gripping my hand tight, Kate says, “No turning back, right Jeter?”
“No turning back.”
As the three members of Gevurah get off their gryphons we walk them inside to our living room.
When we get inside Maria says to me, “You look panicked almost as if you are about to die.”
“Sorry about that, I have had a lot on my plate recently.”
“Well of course you have, a city-wide search is a lot of effort.”
As Maria talks, Gardienne behind her starts to cough. “Well, I would have liked some pleasantries but my subordinate is too impatient for that, so let’s get right to business. Have you found Percy?”
Holding my hand even tighter, Kate says, “Yes we have.”
Freaking out, Gardienne says, “WHERE IS THIS BASTARD!”
Her murderous aura is so intense a stutter. To think my boy could illicit such rage from someone; I have never gone to war so I don’t really have a bar for what it is like, but to think someone could get this enraged due to my son's actions puts everything in perspective.
“So, Jeter where is Percy, I would assume if you found him, he would be here with you right now.”
“Maria, I thank you for your kind attitude towards us despite the indirect harm my actions have caused to your people, but we, no Skydust will not be handing Percy over.”
The face of Koa sours, while Gardienne barely holds back her rage.
Getting up I prepare to say something, but Maria interrupts me and says, “Before you continue this stupidity, I want you to stop and really think about what you’re about to say because depending on those words all the people in this country might have their lives ruined.”
Getting up as well Kate holds my hand, so I say, “From this moment on Skydust is at war with Gevurah, and we will fight to the last soul for Percy Mercury.”
Maria starts to hold her hand against her face in what I believe is this disbelief. But behind her Gardienne's murderous aura explodes as she says, “Sorry boss, I can’t control myself anymore.”
Brandishing her sword, she lunges at me and my wife, but before I could even react to that I see her sword broken and her body unconscious.
“I told you to behave yourself Gardienne.”
“Thank you.”
“Keep your thanks.” Turning her back to us, Maria says, “I thought you guys were different, but I guess royalty is selfish regardless of the kingdom, we will be taking our leave.”
As Maria walks out with Gardienne in her arms, I say to her, about southwest from our current position please lift any barricade that you might set up in the sky.”
Koa says, “Are you fucking insane, we are at war you shouldn’t be asking us for any favours.”
“There will be young innocence flying through that airspace, you told me your child was just born. So, if you have any compassion as a mother for these kids please let them through the airspace, I beg you!!!” I say bowing my head.
Kate bowing her head as well says, “I beg you also!!!”
“Bowing your heads, you really are both crazy, Koa let’s go.”
Walking out of the room, they slam the door as they leave the house. As they board their gryphons, we go to the room next door and say, “It is ok Percy you can stop hiding now.”
Coming over to us Percy says, “I am so, so sorry!!” while kneeling on the floor with tears in his eyes.
Giving him a hug, I say, “It will be ok!”
Joining in on the hug, Kate says, “Percy we will always be here for you.”
Percy's crying gets louder until eventually we hear the door behind us open and see Peppa.
“I want to join the family hug,” Peppa says running towards us at full speed.
Wrapping her hands around us, Peppa says, “Don’t be sad brother we are all here.”
“Yes, Percy all of us are here with you.”
