That Blue Fire

Chapter 7: Sands of Time

Roman LIED. He said Chad would be back be 3 AM! I stayed awake all night waiting for him, while Roman was sleeping me and Chad were going to have a moment- Maybe a Kiss or two. Okay I admit it, I had a crush on him. Maybe Roman thought he could get away with Murder, He didn't expect me to wait for Chad. The water sloshed on the shore, Seaweed would wash ashore every now and then. I picked it up, watching the moon as it sailed across the sky like a big round cookie, Man, I hope this world had cookies-

Or something related to Cookies. When the sun began to rise I heard footsteps, Chad had lended me his Silver Blade so I could defend myself. Turning around I pulled it out-

Trying to act like Chad I said "Who's there, I have a Knife" but I heard somebody shout "Keira- I didn't know that you'd be up so late." It was Chad! I was so happy to see him but I wanted to wait there, not make anything clear. "Roman said you'd be back at 3 AM." "There was another attack." Says Chad, Before sitting next to me and looking at the seaweed. "And..." I asked "1 Person died" Chad responds, Rather glumly. "Chad, Its okay. At least it wasn't you" I said kindly, Chad looked at me and smiled "C'mon Ker. Lets make some Bagon for Roman" "You calling me Ker now, Great" I say while beginning to spark the fire. Chad looked at something I couldn't see "We don't have Bacon"

"Then why did you ask me to make Serentti?" I ask before the fire ignites with a large CRACK. "We have eggs." says Chad "Can eggs be used to make Serentti?" I ask, Before Chad simply nods. Chad cracks open some eggs- But they were strange eggs. Yellow Eggs. I didn't ask Chad about the eggs but simply watched as he stirred and mixed.

That's when Roman woke up. "Oh Aye Chad!" He says, I'm startled and turn around "Good Morning Roman." I say "We're cooking Egg Serentti!" Roman's eyes light up, "Egg Bagon is the best!" He shouts "When is it going to be done?" to me, Roman was acting like a 1st Grader waiting for their favorite coloring sheet to be printed. "Soon" said Chad before cracking more eggs and flipping the eel guts. My stomach retracted.

"Aye, Keira. Go pick some Cherries, we need Juice." Said Chad smiling, "I have some" I say before pulling out a large sack of Cherries. "Great." says Roman and Chad, they're both beaming. I crush the cherries into a hard mixture, Chad finished cooking the Egg Serentti and I wasn't hungry so I drank the Cherry Juice, it was Tangy and Spicy. With this done we were able to relax until... 
"Oi! Beckred!" I turned my head to see an small old man walking down the sandy trail to the beach, The man trips on his cloak and stumbles into the sand "I see you have Man of Ro! and a Newcomer!" He says getting up. "Ello there" he says approaching me and shaking my hand. "Hey Throg!" Says Chad "Ah- And what's your name" Throg asks me "Keira Robinson." I respond "Robin's Son!" shouts Throg shaking my hand "No its Robinson." I respond. "Throg doesn't have good hearing anymore." says Roman. Throg stumbles on his cloak again, "Beckred, Man of Ro, Robin's Son." he says "There is a Prophecy... Regarding the Mythic Dawn, and a 15-Year Old from the Human World." I blinked "Mythic Dawn?" "One of the most famous crime organizations." Says Throg in a raspy voice. I turn my head "We must. No matter what, See King Frogman Stump." Replies Throg "Frogman who?" "Frogman Stump, King of Belleen Bay and the Jirachi Forest." Says Throg.

Roman stares at me and says "The King's name is really Grogan Thump." I nod and Throg leads us into the forest.
