012: Night of Unrest

"If you'll all follow me, I can take you to where you'll stay for now."

The five of us follow Soveliss as he walks towards one of the staircases. I stay by Amai's side as we walk down a hall. I'm sure the information we were given on her sister's whereabouts was not easy for her to hear. She cares so much about her sister, but Soveliss is right. We need to work on ourselves too.

And I really want to figure out how this whole Written thing applies to me. Maybe Soveliss can help me with that.

As we walk, I notice that Ikimono, Nova, and Saisho are each touching their Charms. They stare at each other. All I can guess is they're most likely conversing with each other telepathically.

Oh well.

"Alright. Here we are."

As we enter the darkened room, I hear a small tap on the floor. The room lights up a little, and we're met with a large open space. Some beds begin to appear with little stands next to each one. There are plenty of windows, but every single one is covered with drapes at this time.

"You'll sleep here. These are my guest quarters, so I apologize if it's messy." Soveliss laughs a little. "No one's really used it in a while. But you can use it for as long as you need to stay here."

"It's alright," Ikimono says. "Thank you for letting us use it."

"Thank you!" Nova and Saisho chime in.

Soveliss nods. "Of course. Make sure you all get some rest, alright? I'm sure it was quite the journey between the Normal and here. You'll want to be ready when tomorrow comes. Written training is not easy in any sense."

"Ah, yes..." Saisho laughs nervously. "Oh, one question."

"Yes?"

"Will there be any place for me to cook breakfast for us tomorrow morning?" Saisho asks. "Just so we're all fueled and ready to go."

The elven man smirks a little. "You cook? Oh, I'm sure Allisa would love the help. She normally cooks for us in the morning."

"Allisa? Who's that?" Nova asks.

"Just one of my friends. She and two other pals come over quite often. I'm sure you'll meet them tomorrow."

"Well, I'd be happy to help her." Saisho smiles.

Soveliss gives a nod. "I'll let her know you intend to do so. For now, I must retire to my own quarters. Tracking down somebody in Destiny is not going to be simple. You all rest up now, okay?"

I smile. "We'll do that. Thank you so much."

As Soveliss leaves, all of us walk farther into the room. Amai and I quickly take two beds next to each other. Nova takes one on the other side near Ikimono, and Saisho claims the last bed for himself.

"Alright," Ikimono speaks up. As she snaps her fingers, her Written Form fades away. She flicks her wrist a few times to transform into some black pajamas. "Listen up guys. Soveliss said he's going to help all of us grow stronger. That means you need to listen to him and his friends. Whatever they say, you gotta retain the information. This isn't my first rodeo with Written training."

Nova snaps her fingers too, and her outfit fades away. "Sounds like it'll be fun! Now, how do I make myself pajamas like you did?" She bounces still, eyes wide.

Ikimono gives a giggle. "Oh Nova... here, let me help."

As she flicks her wrist again, Nova gets a pair of pajamas in her arms. The girl bounces even more upon seeing this, and she giggles as Saisho, Amai, and I each receive a pair too. She's so excited to see Ikimono summon these from basically thin air.
