Taking care of a harpy is a lot harder than I had anticipated. How so, you may ask?
Hydroxis was currently trapped inside of a tree. I haven't the slightest idea how that happened, but it did. Now, I was trying to get the nine year old Harpy out of the tree.
"Hydroxis, move slowly down," I said.
"I can't! I'm stuck!" She yelled back, panicking.
"What can you move?"
"My tail?"
I sighed. That wasn't very helpful. I ascended the tree myself and climbed over towards Hydroxis. I started moving the branches, causing the harpy to flinch, but she managed to move and get down. I followed shortly after.
"Now Hydroxis, stop doing things that could get you hurt or trapped. This is the fifth time this week. And it's only tuesday!" I exclaimed.
"I thought it was a good idea..." Hydroxis said. I sighed.
"Just be careful. Alright?"
"Okey dokey!" She smiled at me. At least she was okay now. Nothing too bad happened. She didn't get hurt.
"Now Hydr, there are things I need to get done, and I want you to come with me," I stated. I didn't believe that I could leave her alone, and the few people I trusted to be able to take care of her were all busy. So, I had to take her.
"Okay! What are we going to do?" Hydroxis asked excitedly. She was more enthusiastic than I was.
"Just going to check on some people. Make sure they have their needed protection. Mkay?" I asked, not being too specific.
"Okay Miss Lexa," Hydroxis smiled. I summoned a portal- what can I say, it was my preferred mode of transportation. We stepped through, and found ourselves in front of a house. It was of a tan color, with a large garage and a blue roof. It was large, possibly to house the large family inside.
I walked up and knocked on the door, I had to go inside to find weaknesses in the detection barrier. I had to make sure nobody could sneak in. Helo opened the door, smiling a bit.
"Cmon in guys." His yellow wings were raised, and a teenager was hiding behind him. A boy with feminine attributes.
"Thank you Helo," I said. Hydroxis held onto me shyly. She didn't say anything as we walked in. "I'm pretty sure you know why I'm here?"
"Pretty sure. The shields, right?" Helo asked, as the boy looked up.
"Who the heck are you?" The boy certainly sounded feminine. Helo nodded.
"That's right, you haven't met." Helo moved over. "Alexandria, this is my son, Finnegan. We call him Finn."
"Hello Finnegan, I am Alexandria. An old friend of your parents." My small wings shifted a little. Hydr said nothing.
"Hi, Ms. Alexandria." The male waved as two boys ran in, carrying something. Finn seemed to hear them and looked over. "AGAIN?! TURBINE TYPHOON GIVE THAT BACK!"
The boys giggled and ran off. That was unexpected.
"Well, I suppose I'll start working on- Oh, this is Hydroxis by the way Helo," I said. I had told him about her, but they hadn't met yet. Finn growled and ran after the boys.
"TURBINE TYPHOON!"
"Aw yeah, hey Hyrdoxis! I'm Heliosray Wheeldon." Helo smiled, kneeling down. "Sorry for my sons. The twins like to steal Finn's binders."
"Hi..." Hydroxis whispered. She had a unique personality. She would be quite shy at first, but after a short while she's incredibly energetic and outgoing. Not to mention somewhat chaotic.
"Any ways, Wheatley is out dealing with you know what. Victor and Madeline I believe are getting upset by it, but Wheatley hates it too." Helo sighed. "And I'm sure you heard about Dyn and Kisame."
"Yes, I have," I replied, "I 'd love to continue talking, but I have a lot of things I need to get done today, I apologise for cutting this conversation short.
"Understandable. Safe travels." Helo nodded as Finn kept chasing after his brothers.
"GUYS I'M SERIOUS GIVE IT!"
"NO!"
"TURBINE!"
I went to go do what I needed to do, before pausing. A certain harpy was missing. I looked around, before hearing a thud. There was also crying.
Finn was holding a tank top like garment while Turbine was crying.
"HYDROXIS GET BACK HERE."
