The Missing Key (Book 1)

Chapter 11: First Clue

After a few days of just walking none stop, all at the exact same time too, that was when I then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to feel tired of all of this, never the less. I was starting to regret the fact that I had in fact agreed with the king to go on ahead and go on this mission, all at the exact same time too, at that. It seemed like I was a bit over my head when it was that I had done as such a thing like that, never the less.
At this point, it was not really hard to stay asleep during the night, so much as it was that I felt like every day I was starting to feel like I needed more and more sleep to be able to heal from it all, all at the exact same time too, never the less, at that. I kind of just began to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, as I knew that every single morning, Kips always had to wake me up, all at the exact same time too, never the less at that.
I was glad that he did, never the less, as I really did not want to clean out the dishes, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, never the less. I kind of felt like as much as it was that I wanted a few good nights of good sleep, to heal my self from all of the walking that it was that we had to do over the last few days, I knew that I could not, as it would only slow the mission down, never the less. I was not all too sure as to just why it was that I had gone on this mission in the very first place any ways, once again.
I really did not care about my father what so ever, as I felt like I could care 2 shits about him, all at the exact same time too. It was pointless for me, as I knew that he had abandoned me and my sister when we were just tiny little kids. Why would I want to go and meet him after all of that? That just did not make all too much sense to me what so ever, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self either, as it felt point less for me to be doing as such a thing like that, never the less.
I felt like the more that it was that I thought about it, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, it was best to not think on it all, never the less, at that. I kind of felt like the best idea for me, if I was in fact going to be for real with my self, was simply the fact that I felt like I needed to stop thinking on it too much. It was too late to change my mind and go back at this point, as I knew that I did not have a map, and the roads that we had switched across several times, that was just no possible way to remember it all, never the less, at that.
I was not going to lie to my self either, I also kind of felt like there were some good things that had came with this all, all at the exact same time too. I was getting to fully explore the king dom, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, at that. There were some pretty sights that I had seen, that were just oos and ahs, due to the fact that I had lived in a big city my whole life, and I had never seen any thing such as that, never the less.
I kind of just did in fact begin to start to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too. Kips was clearly lost as to just what it was that I was getting excited about never the less. He had told me that it was plain and boring, as well as normal land scape, all at the exact same time as well.
He had told me that I needed to wait til we got to the mountains, which was when it was going to be the real fun for things for me to see. How ever, if I was not going to lie to my self either, I really did not want to think about the mountains right now, all at the exact same time too, at that. I knew that it had in fact been hard enough to get to the point as to just where it was that I was even at right now, all at the exact same time too.
I knew that the journey was only going to get worse, and only going to get harder for me from here on out, never the less. The king had in fact told me all about how hard the mountains were, all at the exact same time too. I felt like I would be done for by the time it was that I did in fact get to that point, never the less, as I felt like there was not really much of a point in me doing as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I kind of just shook my head a little bit to my self, all at once, as in the end, I did in fact begin to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as I then began to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too.
Just as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, once again, that was when I then did in fact begin to start to get my mind, and I did in fact begin to start to get my focus back on to just what it was that was even going on all around me right now, all at the exact same time too, never the less. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as in the end, I did in fact begin to start to shake my head all of the sudden, at that.
I noticed that it was clear that based off of the fact that I was shaking my head to my self right now, all at the exact same time too, never the less, that I did in fact begin to start to breath in quite a  bit heavily to my self. Kips clearly had in fact noticed it, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw him then begin to start to turn his head over to me, all at the exact same time too. He then all of the sudden did in fact begin to start to squint his eyes over to me, all at the exact same time as well, almost as if he was in fact suspicious of me, all at the exact same time too, which I was not all too sure as to just why it was that it would in fact be the case, if I was not going to lie to my self either, never the less.
I kind of felt like I needed to calm my self down, all at the exact same time as well, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden did in fact see Kips begin to start to nod his head over to me, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with me right now, never the less. I just kind of did in fact begin  to start to turn my head over to him, all at the exact same time too, as I did in fact begin to start to lift my head up, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, as I looked at him right in to his eyes.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as in the end, I did in fact begin to start to nod to him, all at once. It was clear to the both of us right now, that I was in fact paying my full attention as to just what ever it was that he even had to say to me, all at the exact same time too, never the less, once again.
Once it was that he had in fact seen me do as such a thing back to him, as a little bit of a response back to him, never the less, he then did in fact begin to start to continue to speak to me, all at the exact same time too. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, never the less, at that, once again. I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even said to say to me all of the sudden, at that.
"Are you alright kid? I know you're tired but you look like you got too much on your mind right now..." He said to me, as he seemed to be spot on the dot on just what it was that he had in fact even just said to me, all at the exact same time too. He had told me that he had been the same way on his first mission when he was younger, even though it was quite a bit shorter that this one, so I suppose that it made sense, it would seem.
I kind of just blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as it seemed like I wanted to act like I was in fact a little bit surprised as to just what it was that he had even said to me, all at the exact same time as well. I knew as to just what it was that it did in fact make sense, as he had told me all about it, long before now, never the less. He had been begging for it to all end, and I felt like I was going to be like that very soon, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
Though, this journey was going to be at least a year, as I had been told that it was going to be. It had never even been a week, and I felt like I could not take it any more. It all just felt so point less to me, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I could do. I did not want to slow every one down, as I knew how important this mission was for the king, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
I kind of just began to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at once, as I felt like I was a little bit lost in my head, once again. I had my head down for some odd reason or another, all at the exact same time too, as I really did not remember as to just why that was even the case, all at the exact same time too, never the less. I kind of began to start to wake my self up all of the sudden how ever, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden seemed to start to realize as to just what it was that I probably should in fact do all of the sudden.
I kind of just began to start to blink my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time as well, as I then did in fact begin to start to look at my buddy Kips right in to the eyes, all at the exact same time too, never the less. I felt like it was best for me to be straight forward, and to just tell him the truth as to just how it was that I was really feeling right now, as I kind of felt like there was really no such sort of reason for me to hide it from him what so ever, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As I kind of just began to start to blink my eyes a few times to my self, all at once, I then in the end, did in fact begin to start to nod to him, all at the exact same time as well. It was clear to me that I was in fact letting him know that I was about to go right on ahead, and I was in fact about to speak back to him, all at the exact same time as well, at that, once again. I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too.
As I kind of just stood there, and I did in fact stare for just a little bit more time, I then all of the sudden did in fact see him begin to start to nod back to me all of the sudden, as it was lucky enough for me as soon as it was that he had in fact done as such a thing like that, never the less. It was clear to me that he was in fact letting me know that he was in fact paying his full attention as to just what it was that I was even about to go right on ahead and get ready to say to him all of the sudden.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as in the end, I then did in fact begin to start to let out a little bit of a soft sigh of some sort of relief to my self, all at the exact same time too, at that. I then began to start to begin to speak to him all of the sudden, none the less. I did in fact realize that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I even had say to him, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
"Well... There are a lot of different things that I am thinking about right now, honestly... I just don't know why I agreed to go on this journey... I do not even know my father, and I for sure do not like what he did to me and my sister..." I said to him, as I looked at him right in to his eyes, all at once, as I had a little bit of some sort of hope that he might under stand some what as to just what it was that I was even getting at, all at the exact same time too, never the less, at that, once again.
I was not sure, as every one felt like I had every thing so easy, and that life was great for me, just simply due to the fact that I was in fact the grand son of the king, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. That just was not the case, as sure, I might be a little bit privileged on the fact that I had money. But money did not buy happiness, and I knew that I did not really have any friends, or any such sort of life what so ever, never the less.
It kind of hurt to think on that, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like my father was to blame for a lot of that, none the less. He had never been there for me, to teach me how to make friends, so I was so used to being alone, that I really did not go out in public in search for friends, all at the exact same time too, never the less, once again. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, as I began to start to grip my fists quite a bit tightly at the thought of that, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I kind of just stood there, and I did in fact stare down at the ground for just a little bit longer, as I did not seem to get any such sort of response out of Kips, all at the exact same time too. It seemed like he just did not sort of under stand as to just why it was that I was being this way, all at the exact same time too. Perhaps he thought that I was just making up excuses, and that I was forced on this journey from the king.
That was not the case what so ever how ever, as I knew that he had in fact given me a choice, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as I kind of just shook my head a little bit to my self, all of the sudden. I just kind of continued to stare down at the ground for quite a bit of some time, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, at that.
I kind of just stood there, and I just began to start to look away from the ground, all at once, as I was lucky enough to begin to start to hear the voice of Kips, all at once, as it was now clear to me all of the sudden, that he was in fact finally going to go right on ahead, and he was in fact going to speak to me all of the sudden, once again, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, never the less. I kind of just began to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at once, as in the end, I did in fact begin to start to lift my head up to him all of the sudden, at that, none the less.
As soon as it was that I had done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, that was when I then all of the sudden look at him right in to his eyes, all at the exact same time too, none the less. As it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, I then did in fact begin to start to nod back to him all of the sudden. It was clear to him now that I was in fact paying attention as to just what it was that he was in fact about to go on ahead and say back to me all of the sudden, never the less, once again.
Once it was that he had in fact seen me do as such a thing like that, all of the sudden, he then began to start to go right on ahead, and he then did in fact begin to start to speak to me all of the sudden, never the less. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as soon as it was that he had in fact begun to start to do as such a thing like that, none the less. I then did in fact eventually begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me in the very first place any ways, never the less, once again.
"Well... It's too late to go back now, so you just have to own up to it now... Things will be fine, I am sure... Things will end up okay... Hell... We don't even know if we will find him... We don't know if he is even still alive..." He said to me, all at once, all at the exact same time as well. I knew that he had in fact had quite a bit of a fair point on just what it was that he had even said to me, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, none the less, as I kind of felt like there was in fact some thing that was in side of me right now, that was in fact telling me that my father was in fact still alive right now, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure if that was in fact a good or a bad thing just yet, all at the exact same time too, never the less, once again.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as in the end, I then did in fact begin to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at once, as it was not really all too reassuring as to just what it was that he had said to me, all at the exact same time too. He had basically told me as to just what it was that I had already known, all at the exact same time as well, as I really did not want to hear it get brought up again, what so ever, none the less.
I kind of just began to start to blink my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time too, as I began to start to look on ahead of me, all at the exact same time as well. It was not the fact that I was worried about the fact that he was dead, all at the exact same time too. It was more the fact that we would never be able to find him for one thing, all at the exact same time too.
Even if it was that we did in fact find him, all at the exact same time as well, never the less, who was to say that he did in fact agree to come back with us, all at the exact same time too. He might be happy with the new life that he lived right now, and he probably did not give 2 shits less about his father. It would make sense as to him not caring about his father, as it was clear to me that he had never cared about me, as that was the reason that he had in fact even left me in the very first place any ways, none the less.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as in the end, I then did in fact begin to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on right now, if I was going to be for real with my self, as I felt like I was thinking too much in my head right now, all at the exact same time too, as I felt like I was in fact wasting far too much time, all at the exact same time too, once again.
I kind of just began to start to look away from it all, all at the exact same time too, as in the end, I then began to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all of the sudden. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as in the end, I then began to start to look back over to Kips, all at the exact same time too, none the less.
I saw that to much to my surprise, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with him right now, all at the exact same time too, that he was in fact still looking at me right in to my eyes, all at the exact same time as well. I was in fact about to tilt my head and question him, all at the exact same time too, once again. How ever, I did not do as such a thing like that what so ever, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
I in stead did in fact begin to start to nod back to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I should simply just begin to speak to him, all at the exact same time too, rather than confuse him even more than it was that he might be lost about right now, all at the exact same time too. As I kind of just did in fact begin to continue to stare for a little bit more time, all at once, I then in the end, did in fact begin to start to see him blink his eyes as a little bit of a response back to me, all at the exact same time too.
As soon as it was that he had in fact done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well, that was when he then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, and he began to start to nod back to me, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I let out a little bit of a heavy sigh of some sort of relief to my self, all at the exact same time too, as soon as it was that he had in fact done as such a thing like that. It was clear to me that he was in fact letting me know that he was in fact paying his fullest attention as to just what it was that I was about to say to him all of the sudden.
As I did in fact seem to stare for just a little bit more time, I then did in fact in the end, go right on ahead, and I began to start to breath in a bit to my self, all of the sudden. I then did in fact begin to start to speak to him all of the sudden, once again. I knew that of course, that he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what it was that I even had to say to him, all at the exact same time as well, once again.
"Well... I am not all too worried about that all... I am more just worried about the fact that I am going to slow every one down... I already feel so tired..." I said to him, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt sore as it was right now, and I also felt like I wanted to go to sleep right now, all at the exact same time too, once again. I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even going right now, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I kind of just stood there, and I did in fact stare at him for a little bit longer, as he then began to start to look away from me, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. I was expecting him to tell me that I would get used to it, all at the exact same time too, none the less, such as it was that he had said before now, a few times. How ever, it seemed like it had hit him all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, that this mission was going to be a lot harder than the first mission that he had to go on, never the less.
I kind of just did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, which was quite a bit hard, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I felt like I was in fact kind of freaking out quite a bit, all at the exact same time too, once again. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at once, as I just began to start to look away form him, all at once.
It was clear to me that he did not have any sort of response back to me, all at the exact same time as well, this time, to try to keep me as calm as he felt like he could. It was not a good thing to notice, if I was not going to lie to my self either, though I also knew that at the very least, he was not going to be lying to me either. I just tried my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could do, all at the exact same time too, never the less.
I just kind of stood there, and I did in fact begin to start to continue to just stare right on ahead of me, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice that some thing was in fact off a little bit ahead of me, all at the exact same time too. I kind of tilted my head a little bit, all at once, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on right now, in the very first place any ways, never the less.
I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at the exact same time too, as in the end, I then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, and I did in fact begin to start to notice all of the sudden, that it did in fact seem like every one had all of the sudden stopped them selves, all at the exact same time as well. I was not all too sure as to just why that was in fact the case, all at the exact same time as well, once again. I just kind of stood there, and I did in fact stare for just a little bit longer.
I continued to start to do as such a thing for a bit more time, until I then began to start to realize as to just what it was that was even going on right now, all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, never the less. I blinked my eyes a few times, all at once, as I looked at Steve, all at the exact same time too, none the less. He had stopped him self, and he was looking at us all, all at the exact same time as well, with quite a bit of a blank look on his face, all at the exact same time too.
It was clear that I was not the only one that was in fact quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on right now, all at the exact same time too, never the less. I kind of just did my best to try to stay as calm as I felt like I possibly could, for just a little bit longer, as in the end, I then did in fact eventually begin to start to notice all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, all at once, that there was in fact some thing going on.
Steve kind of shook his head to us all, all at the exact same time as well, as in the end, he then did in fact begin to start to speak to each and every single one of us, all at the exact same time too, at that. I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I possibly could, all at once, as in the end, I then did in fact begin to start to shake my head a little bit to my self. I then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he had to say to every one that was in fact here, all at the exact same time too.
"Alright every one... Here comes the first clue..."
