"Kara may come while you sleep, so she may be here when you wake.” Lilis said as she went to sit on the window sill. “I will also be here when you wake up. Your muscles will undoubtedly be stiff by morning.”

Foxtrot nodded and yawned. He then lulled off into a deep sleep.
There was a battle. A long battle. Foxtrot was in the middle of it. There were two sides. One of the light and one of the dark. The light said that it would grant him eternal life if he sides with them, but the darkness would grant him superiority and strength more of a mortal could get. Foxtrot was scared. He had to make the decision on his own. The battle waged around him. Who should he fight for? He doesn't know anyone of any of them. What would he choose?
He dreamt a dream that he would never figure out. He soon awoke and it was early morning. He blinked a few times, feeling stiff and sore.

Kara sat beside Foxtrot and Lilis was still sitting at the window sill, reading a book. Kara smiled and ruffled Foxtrot's hair. Lilis glanced over at them.
~ Good morning little one. ~ She said. ~ Did you sleep well? What do you want for breakfast? How are you feeling? Do- ~
"Kara," Lilis said, stopping the sudden flow of questions, "he just woke up. Good morning Foxtrot. Answer the questions at your leisure, the day won't runaway without you."

Foxtrot smiled and sat up. He then gave Kara a hug, feeling her back and patting it. He then let go and got up slowly. "I feel stiff, but a little walking would help it go away." He then looked at Lilis, then back to Kara. "I would like to have eggs! The way my mom always make them for me. Scrambled!" He smiled and giggled.

~ Okay, I will go and tell the cook. ~ Kara said as she hugged Foxtrot back and then got up. ~ You are going to look after him right Lilis? You're not going to - ~
"Yes Kara." Lilis interrupted again, swing her legs off of the sill and setting her book aside. "I will look after him and no I will not let anything happen to him while you're gone. He will be perfectly safe with me, just like most everyone else is. Now please go and get his breakfast before he expires."
Kara watched Lilis for a long moment and then nodded. She walked out of the room, closing the door quietly behind her. Lilis let out a long sigh.
"She worries about you a lot little one. But I'll admit it that you're very cute and have a loveable personality." Lilis told him as she stretched and then smiled at Foxtrot. "Would like another massage before or after breakfast or would you just like to stretch?"

Foxtrot got up and smiled. "I'll stretch, thanks." He reached both his arms all the way to one side, then did it the other way in the opposite direction. He then stretched his neck by rolling his head around, then revolved back the same direction. He did many stretches and popped his back. He then jogged in place as a routine he always did, to stretch his legs. He then spoke, "I really sometimes think of Kara all the time. She's cool and awsome all the way," he said; his voice bouncing each time when he jogged in place.

"I'm considering assigning her as your guard. Zuki did adopt you into his family and I've sworn to protect that family. Right now, you and Kyrean are the only ones I don't have guards on. I haven't put one on Kyrean because she's normally with her mother and I'm her bodyguard... but I might put one on her soon unless someone else is given the job." Lilis stopped to shrug, leaning against the sill and clasping her hands together in front of her right leg. "I don't really mind if other people are taken on. I'll always be around to glare at incompetent guards and look over everyone's shoulder. It's my job to make sure this family is safe and I'll do that until the day I'm destroyed or relieved."

Foxtrot smiled. "Wow, hard work. I'll never become as good as a bodyguard like you."

Lilis shrugged. "It's not that hard, but it's not easy either. Most times rulers are stuck around the palace to do that stupid stuff, like sign laws, put their signatures on letters, write treaties, trade agreements, and other stuff. It only gets hard when they go out in public or host a public function, like a banquet or something. I hate functions like that. I'm not the best social person and there are so many places for an assassin to hide. I really hate to say this, but I wish something interesting would happen. I don't get to torture people as much as I used to."

Foxtrot thought a little, then had an idea. "How about, I lure people into getting me? Then you can tourture them! It may be mean, but I like to watch you fight, until you decapitate them." He shivered at the thought of seeing them getting cut wide open, their guts falling out. "Would that work? Or is that a stupid idea? Because my parents never want me to do stuff like this and they say it's stupid..."

Lilis tried very hard not to, but she ended up laughing. "Oh you have a nasty mind little one. I think I should work with you more often. But no, you shouldn't do that. You might get me in trouble for letting you get into dangerous situations and then causing trouble for no reason. I still have to keep the law Foxtrot."

Foxtrot smiled and giggled. "At least I made you laugh." He then went up to her and gave her another hug. "Thanks though. I was hoping you wouldn't make me do it. It makes me feel like a criminal."

"Well, can't have little criminals running around Kestal and Crysos. I'd have too much fun then." Lilis said with mock sternness and a sly smile for Foxtrot. She hugged him back, lightly. "So what evil plans for world domination do you have for today?"

Foxtrot giggled and said, "Can't be my job to do that." He backed away, smiling ever so brightly. "But I'm going to train for a little bit to stretch my arms out a little more. My father said even if you feel like you are sore, it's always best to work it off." He started stretching some more and sighed, feeling his muscles being a little cramp still. He walked over to his drawer and opened it up. There were three peices of heavy wood in there. He took them out and placed them together. He pressed hardly until a snapping noise was made when it was fully connected. When he completed that task, he lifted it up like a sword. "After my training, I'm going to slay all the evil away!" He slashed in the air and sat it to the ground, parallel to his body. It was about as tall as him. "I'm going to master the double blade, then after that, I'm going to try to learn how to use the sword staff, then the masterful wheel! Zuki told me those are the three weapons he will teach me."

"I like to play with dual blades, but I can pick up any weapon and use it if I have too." Lilis said as she watched Foxtrot. "Good luck on slaying all of the evil... you're going to have to kill a lot. And what are you going to do when someone says that your ally or friend is evil just because of what they are? Take vampires, for example, people say we're evil. But we're really trying to survive the only way we can and we do occasionally have to be mean. What would you do in that situation? Would you kill your friend because someone else said they were evil?"

Foxtrot stopped and lowered his head. "Oh... I wouldn't hurt my friends!" He lifted his head proudly. "I will defend on what's right! If someone says that my friends are evil, I will prove them wrong!" Foxtrot grinned happily, hoping he proved his point.

Post by Kilian on Apr 28, 2006 7:22:26 GMT -5
Lilis just nodded. "So, you'd try to persuade them to see that your friend is not evil? Or would you actually present proof that your friend wasn't evil?"

Foxtrot's smile faded and he thought for a moment. "Umm... I don't know, actually. I would try to prove myself that my friends are innocent, by telling them reasons why they may do something wrong for a reason. Or something..."

“That’s okay. I shouldn’t have made you worry about that just yet.” Lilis said with a wry grin and ruffled Foxtrot’s hair. “I think, that when the time comes, you’ll defend your friends far better than anyone could have imagined. Can you read or write Foxtrot?” She asked as she crossed the room and opened the door for Kara.
Lilis went back over to the window sill and Kara set a tray, laden with food, on the table. She then walked to stand in front of Lilis before returning to her snake form. The vampire bent and picked her up. Kara coiled around Lilis’ arm, enjoying the minimal heat she could get and Lilis’ gentle affection.

Foxtrot smiled and thanked Kara. He then went over to eat. He sat down and began eating. While eating, he was thinking, "Have you ever been in a situation where you had to pick one side, or the other? If so, was it hard to choose?" He looked at Lilis and was a little curious.

"I never had a choice of sides. I was always on one and there were to be no complaints." Lilis said, leaning back against the window sill. “I try to pick the right side when I can, but I’ve never really had a situation where I’ve had to pick a good or bad side. And you still haven’t answered my question.”

"Heh, whoops." He then nodded. "Ya, I can read and write! Only a little. My mom taught me how to read and write. It is alright." He shrugged and then said, "But I like fighting better."

"Oh good. That means if I bring you a book to read about how to improve your fighting technique, you can read it and tell me about it. So what about math? Can you do numbers?" Lilis asked, almost drilling him. Kara turned and hissed softly at her. "Oh calm down. At least I'm not interogating him."

Foxtrot shook his head. "My father said math is useless." He wondered, "How do you add things together? I only can do simple additions and taking away problems."

"Math is not useless!" Lilis said with exasperation. "It helps you to figure out how many men, or women, you have under your control and how many supplies you need to get for them. And if you're all traveling at a set speed, how long will it take you to reach a certain point? Math is part of the basis of all life!"
~ Now you've done it. ~ Kara told Foxtrot, shaking her head. ~ Math, science, and literature have always been her favorite. Wait, here it comes... ~
Lilis put a piece of paper down on the table beside Foxtrot and began to write numbers on it. She only wrote five problems on the paper before standing back some.
"This is multiplication... but the last two are division." She said as she pointed out the problems. "How much do you think 2*3 is?"
