returning guest

mam, the guest has arrived," yelan said as he knocked on her door, there was a slight pauze, almost alike a eary silence before someone answered, as the door opened, yelan could see the non ready almost sleepwalking luxia, she rubbed her eyes while hunched over like a old lady, "yeah?" yelan awkardly scratched his head as he chuckled, "the guest has arrived miss kreinheard, please get yourself presentable, ok? yelan said, holding a o sign with his fingers while pinching his eyes, at this point reality started to hit luxia as she saw a reflection of herself in the mirror behind yelan, "shoot! give me a few and i will be there!" luxia said as she widened her eyes and quickly turned around and jolted towards her wardrobe, slamming the door right at yelan's face, "eh, its to be expected, its early after all," he said, staring out of the arched window, the morning sun was just slightly visible, peeking up from behind the kingdom walls, the silence gave a warm and comforting feeling, no children screaming or running, no duty that he had to furfill as fast, "if only i could have this a tad bit longer," yelan said, pointing his chin up as he closed his eyes and embraced the calm morning sun, but before he could wander into his own world, luxia came out of the room, "im ready," she said while hastily correcting her dress, its black silky texture shined like a sword, as dull as it seemed, yelan quite liked silk, he used to wear it when he was a kid for purposes that one would not suppose as fashionista, "yelan?" luxia asked, leaning forward while waving her hands infront of yelan's face, "huh oh yeah, the guest.. lets go," he said as he shot awake out of his trans, "this way" as they walked through the corridor towards the main entrance of the orphanage, luxia softly asked yelan who this person was, "so.. who is it exactly that we are about to meet?" yelan raised his eyebrow before answering, "he seems to call himself the maschionist of the wealthy, well, after seeing his altitude, more like a joker then a man with purpose, " yelan answered,
luxia nodded before looking back upfront, thoughts ran as she tried to know whether she had met him before or not, "more like a joker then a man with purpose? there is not really anyone i have met before, unless.." luxia pondered, before thinking, "no it cant be.. cloud had dissapeared along with the other chairmen, they were involved in the attacks right?" luxia said again, only this time pondering whether she should show herself to him or jolt back to her room, "no, if anything, it might be someone who knew my own father," as they arrived towards the door connecting to the main entrance, yelan paused while keeping his hands on the handle, "are you ready?" he asked her, luxia held her breath for what felt like minutes before nodding yes, "ok. should there be anything, tell me and i will make sure to keep you safe ok,"
luxia nodded again, facing the door as she embraced the meeting, "you..." luxia said in disgust, the man chuckled, "hello luxia! what a fine feeling to see you again!" cloud said as he grabbed his top hat and swung it around his waist before bowing, "it is an honer to meet you again," luxia frowned, holding her hands on her waist as elisia and zelana stood behind her, "why are you here?" zelana asked, luxia's stomach jumped as she did not expect them to stand behind her, cloud chuckled again, only this time standing up with his waist puffed, "well, there is something i want to discuss which is important, he said he summoned a trekking pole out of no where. "shall we have a seat?" cloud asked, his grin gave elisia a cold feeling, they all hesitantly accepted, "this way sir," yelan said, before yelan could reach for the handle, cloud stood before him as if he teleported and opened the door with a wide stance, "viola, lets go" as cloud waltzed his way forth, zelana leaned in towards elisia, covering her mouth as she whispered , "do you trust him?" elisia glanced to her before replieying, "not a single bit, but we will have to see were it goes, "come on miss keinheard! dance with me!" he said as he abruplty grabbed her hands and pulled her in, luxia panicked but she was hesitant to refuse, scared of dissapointing him, "no please," she said softly as she looked down while cloud twirled her around, she could feel his grip tightening before yelan stepped in and sepperated them, "sorry sir, but that is off limits, please keep distance," clouds eye twitched before complying with a spin and ending it with a bow, "my excuse, i may have acted to rash now lets get to bussiness," cloud said as he waltzed on like a crazed clown, luxia looked at yelan and whispered "thank you" yelan nodded before looking back to cloud, focusing closely on his body language, after what felt like a whole theather play, they arrived at the conference room, as they went inside, they could see a long table with a line of blue padded seats inlaid with golden leafs and engravings's of various animals, along with paintings from famous artist's around the whole plain of rosseuxus, "lets all take a seat and discuss the importand matter cloud has for us," as they all took a seat, zelana sitting next t elisia on the right side while luxia sat next to yelan on the left with cloud at the end of the table, cloud put his hands together biting his lip as he sighed, "i apologize for our dissapearance, i know that we left alot of eulithia to die," elisia scoffed silently as he lowered his back down on the chair, zelana slapped him slightly, "sit back up, you are not a kid," "sorry he replied as he sat back up, "now, there is one thing that is importand to all of us, as you all might know, most of the kingdoms around rosseuxus are either destroyed or deserted, leaving only a empty husk of what once was, the last one was eatheria around 9 years ago, after 2 years is when luxia arrived in eulithia, we thought that by deserting the kingdom was a way for us to keep luxia and the people of eulithia safe, but we were far from the truth, the slumbering dragon, the collosal's the ambush, the grendal, we never thought it could go out of hand this badly, so brenolas and the master swordsman devised a last ditch effort plan to maybe safe eulithia," "well that is comforting, what about the kids? or the thousands of people who live here?. we used to live in wealth and freedom, but now we are pushed into the corner of death," zelana said with a noticable disagreement, cloud held his finger up and he pouted his lips, "before you all go arguing and yelling at me, there is one thing i know what the treailiants want," "wait wait, hold up, the treailiants, who are they?" yelan said as he leaned in and rested his hands against his face, "the treailiants are a group, well a kingdom that is ruled under a tyrant amok, amok is a mad tyrant who takes the pleasure in seeing people suffer, and those who are under his rule are forced to kill, so bad even that they themselves become crazed by all the bloodshed they suffer, even sir quiendal who eventually succombed to his death a few weeks ago, "wait, how do you knowt that?" luxia asked in confusion as she placed both of her arms on the table, "i have sent fey to watch over you and to not intervene, she looks like you but wears a cape over her head to be inconspicious, even now she watches over us," elisia frowned, "but what is your proposal?" cloud sighed, "the one thing amok wants is to be immortal, and unfortunatly, luxia inherited it from her mother, now they are hunting her for that specific ability," luxia's stomah dropped by the revelation, "but why?" luxia softly asked as she faced down, hiding her tears that where welling up, "we don't know, but i do have a plan to prevent such thing, it will take another week before it can be set up," yelan nodded "am i of use sir?" cloud glanced, fixing his suit before saying, "protect her at all costs, i will be in touch, before then i want all of you to monitor suspiscious activity and keep luxia away from danger,"
the room felt silent as they all faced down to their hands, "it is my fault isn't it, the ambush and the death of everyone i knew" she softly murmured, zelana could hear her silently cry, she stood up and walked around the table over to her and hugged her tightly, "no its not your fault, you are the one reason we all came together," "yeah but" "shhhh, it is going to be alright," zelana said again as she hugged her even more tightly, yelan looked over towards elisia who nodded, "sir, we will do everything to keep her safe, do what you must and please... dont let us down" cloud silently said yeah as he tried to supress his tears, "well i need to go, fey, come," cloud said, out of the dark a little girl appeared, dressed in all white with a white cloak that had a purple line on the edge, the fey glanced over to luxia and hugged her too before following cloud out of the orphanage and back into the same old cold winter sun,
