We’re still together.

Chapter eight

(We’re still together…)

They knelt down looking at their surrounding, it’s ancient kind of but couldn’t help themselves than getting captivated with the palace inner beauty, the regal decoration and all. The Golden throne, the white marble floor, the flawless design on the walls, pictures and frames of many ancient beings including the moon goddess herself, Zeus and some other gods hanged upon the walls giving the palace hall the perfect taste.

Both kept savoring at the beauty before the queen showed herself looking so disturbed or troubled. With a perturbed face she sat on her throne immediately supporting her resting head with an arm. “What’s it?” She questioned.

“We saw this two coming in and they claim they don’t know who they are.” One of the guards who brought them said.

“Coming in where, be specific!” Her voice sounded piss.

“They were at the gate, and none of our attack-“ he suddenly stopped talking kneeling down, he bent his head with his eyes closed as if entering a trance.

An invisible wave hit the whole Demeather kingdom, everyone closing there eyes and entering a trance, minutes pass with them still dreaming.

The twins kneeling down don’t think felt the effect or the effect of what’s going, the male one stood up walking to the queen waving his hand up and down her face. “Are they dead?” The girl asked his brother looking so scared.

“If they are I don’t care,” he said walking away from the queen and towards the palace exits. “Hey wait up and where are you going?!” His sister shouted running after him.

“This isn’t our destination it obvious, they might also be different like us, but definitely not like us.” He keep peeping not knowing where to go or head to as all in front of him is a big city, he ended there through a portal, and there is no portal to take them back to where they come from.

“Where are we suppose to go now, can’t we just wait and maybe this people will help us out.” She said sounding positive.

“Do they look like they wanna help you!” He snapped frustrated.

“Do you ask them? And besides even if they can’t, they can’t possibly kill us.”

“You’re the one with resurrection power not me, so leave me and let me fight for my safety.”

“And since we’ve got here you’re still alive,” she said with total sarcasm.

“Will you help me find a way out of here or keep grumbling your strength out!” He stretched his hand forward for her to take.

She look down the hand and up his face. “I’m not leaving Nate!” She said sounding buoyant while crossing her arm with a steady bouncing stance.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me, yuh not leaving when the whole city is already in sleeping beauty world!” He said throwing his arms around in a frustrated manner still.

“Don’t be ridiculous, it another reason this place might held answers to our questions.” She replied with a passive look on her face.

“If you don’t follow me now Reya, I promise to leave you.” He said taking a step closer to her. “Let go!” The girl move backward and away from him.

“I’m not going.”

They stare deeply at each other before hugging each other with tears running down the red haired girl’s face. “Follow me please, we shouldn’t leave each other!” The boy trying pleading doing everything to keep the tears in his eyes contained.

“Stay with me, I promise our answers are here.” She replied hugging him harder. Eventually they separated not staying together or leaving together, with the girl staying behind and boy continuing on his journey to wherever he believe his answers lies.

Slowly everyone opened their eyes shocked from what they just encountered or dreamt about.

Looking at the queen she covered her mouth muttering. “Kale!”

*Kale*

I sat up the ground exhausted from the amount of energy I just wasted on letting the whole city know who I am, and now I’m tired like hell.

I can’t go back right now, I will have to wait and let everything sink in everyone’s head. At least they won’t term or call me a monster again, and they’d probably would have understand my power.

My leg arched approaching my spot, the place looking relaxing and calm as always, everything there give me bubbles, constant bubbles.

From the gentle flow of the shiny little stream with sun glimmers reflecting on it, to the birds singing on the beautiful trees standing in the middle of the whole place, to the small garden located, I created towards the down end side of the place, I haven’t think of a name to give this place yet, but I’ll give it soon.

Maybe I should just call it Kale’s palace, I mean I recreated it, I kept it alive even tho the curse swallow the whole place, I healed it clearing all the curse effect, so I shouldn’t be blamed if I call it Kale’s palace or favorite dorm. Even tho no one knows this place existed, and I’m not ready to tell them it existed.

I got there sitting beside my sweet stream dipping and letting my hands flow with the water imaginarily.

I need to practice and work on my powers, I mean to stop all this spiraling out of control stuff. Hey I left my grimoire here tho, have not seen it since I got here, and since then I left I haven’t come back here.

Well it turns out it appears whenever I want it and disappears whenever am done with it.

I open the Golden big grimoire to see the two spells I made and casted there written with steps actually, one I didn’t even do when casting.

Well today is surely gonna be me making new spells and testing them, and me exploring and testing my powers, me being able to master some of them before I leave here today is so my goal. This should be all fun!

This is not fun!

I wipe the beards of sweat gathered up my forehead hiding behind this tree incase my growing spell turn into an explosion again for the fifth time of trying. I’m freaking tired already, I need a very deep and long rest.

“Kale!” I heard a motherly voice called from behind. I didn’t exactly turned back immediately, I focus and watch the beautiful red flower bloom in sparkles meaning my spell is a success.

I came out behind the tree to see who’s calling me and clear off my work and be done for today. Not still knowing who’s is calling me I heard my name once again, this time I looked around trying to know or see who called me.

There I found the queen, coming out of the shade clearly to my vision, her face full of regrets. “Hello queen.” I bow down with a smile.

“I’m sorry for everything I said!” She started before I stopped her raising my finger. “Don’t be sorry, I mean everything you did said was true so don’t be sorry.” I gave her a faux timid smile.

“Kale they were words, mere words, don’t take it to heart, I’m just sorry.” She pleaded approaching me while I keep taking steps back.

“Words that were true, they actually remind me that I’m alone, even tho people am surrounded by people.” I clarified with a passive unbothered look.

“Forget about that, you’re not alone, I’m with you and always will be, I’m your mother, always remember know that, no matter what I said or you do can stop me from being that.” She tried touching me before I snag it away in a friendly like manner.

“What I do remember is you screaming it in my face you were never my mother and never will be, nahh I’m not gonna believe this you just said.” I replied not looking at her. She touch my cheek turning it to look at her before I remove it looking away again.

I’m not pissed at her, just want her to realize I don’t depend on people, if they leave my life, I don’t care. She left me earlier and now want me back, that is a no, I didn’t hold you back when you leave, so I really don’t want you back now. I still and forever will appreciate everything she has done for me as a kid.

“I said am sorry, what more do you want from me!” She said as single tear slide down her left eye, I still don’t care tho but I probably should fake I do.

“And I said there is no need for that, you shouldn’t be apologizing I don’t need it, neither do you honestly!” I said with a side gaze focused on her.

“I myself know I hurt you, you might not know but am sure of that, so please if you really think this is unnecessary then you’d forgive me, I’m truly sorry Kale!” Real water flowed down her both cheek.

I faced her completely with a smile before hugging her. “If you want me to forgive you, then you won’t tell anyone what I did to this place to make it beautiful like this and also make this place my place!” I requested smiling at her. One thing she doesn’t know is that, even tho I forgive her there’s nothing she can do that can prove she’s my mom again. I’m alone, and always will be, I just finally register that in my skull.

She nodded in reply sniffing. “How did you find me tho? I mean how did you know I was here…?”
