"GAEL!"

"Yeah..?"

"What the heck are you doing sleeping so late? Mom and Dad are waiting for you to have breakfast. Get your piggy ass up already you moron!" yelled Gael's Sister Sandra.

"Y-yeah I am coming right up.," said Gael in a sleepy tone.

"You better do it! It's noon already! Ah, jeez.." sighed Gael's sister.

"Gael! No brunch for you if you come late!" Shouted Gael's mom.

"I am coming!! Give me a minute already!" screamed Gael from the other room as he started to brush his hair.

"...As for today, once again The Kingdom Of Eveleynia contributed their utmost faith and dignity towards the development of our town. They donated their gold and silver to us, the villagers of Narkissa. It is because of them we live prosperous till today. For their honor, we are hereby inviting them to our sacred garden. The garden of blossoms! All are welcome to join us as we honor our King and Queen today!..." These were the words coming from the Minister of the village Narkissa as he spoke on the public radio.

"You see? I told you! My instincts were right after all. I knew they were going to come to our village this weekend!" Cheered Gael's father while spilling the tea all over the floor.

"Damn you! Now you're gonna clean all that up!" yelled Gael's mom.

"Wow! They're going to show up!?" Gael joyfully screamed, "If I get a chance I am going to show them my creations and tell them about my-"

"Shut it, Gael! You have to do the chores today, remember?", interrupted Gael's mom.

"B-but I want to see them. I've wanted to show them my creations! Please I'll do it after that..'', pleaded Gael as he had always been very excited about meeting the King and Queen of Eveleynia for a very long time.

"NO! You are staying here and doing the chores and cleaning up the house too! And by the way, who the heck would want to see yer' dirty gadgets or whatever, anyway? They are USELESS! Do you understand now? Shut up and eat your breakfast and start cleaning already!", scolded Gael's mother.

"Gadgets? Haha, yer' still making that crap, son?" mocked Gael's dad, "Listen to me Gael, you have no future if you keep making these crappy helicopters. And you've been going to Doctor McLee's computer lab a lot lately. You need to focus more on your studies rather than simply lying around and doing all this bullshit!" Gael's father gave a lecture to him while grabbing his collar, "Did you see your siblings? They are known everywhere around Narkissa. And you just bring our entire family down by doing nothing!"

"Hmpf! Nitwits like you don't belong to our family at all! You're just a clumsy Lil' kid who does nothing but wanders like a monkey!" Gerald, his elder sibling started making fun of him.

"Stop it, Gerald! Gael, didn't you hear me? You have things to do! So eat your food fast and get on to work already!" shouted Gael's mother.

Gael then silently without even muttering a word, took his bread, and ran off outside.

"See father! He's going off by himself again!" Sandra the younger sibling screamed as Gael ran as fast as he could to get off from Gerald's grip as he was about to hit him. "Hmm, I cannot put more sense into him anymore now. Let him do what he wants!" sighed Gael's father.

"Gael! You better clean the house and do the chores before we return! Do not forget that! Or else no dinner!", screamed Gael's mother as he ran and was already far away.

Gael Thompson is a 13-year-old boy who loves inventing and creating various types of gadgets and also likes to crack codes and ciphers made by the military for war. He often finds this amusing and fun to do. And Doctor McLee, the scientist of the village Narkissa, was always amazed at how he could develop such remarkable gadgets and devices which almost seem unreal for a kid of 13 capable of doing so and which he thinks may come efficient in war. Doctor McLee is the one who taught him how to decode ciphers and codes. The doctor assumed that Gael was interested in the military force and that was why he liked to do all this.
