Gravy Lands

Chapter 2

The Knight looked up at her, being too focused on proccessing how strong they are to answer the simple question they asked. "Well, if you can't even answer a question, what are you doing here?" "I was pretty sure you weren't so strong, because of your name." And that was the biggest mistake he could have made. PP looked at him with even more boredom. They waved their hand (even though they don't actually need to move at all to use their powers, it's just for the dramatic effect) and suddenly he got tickled by milions of feathers. He begged them to stop, while PP sat down and started sipping on their tea which unfortunately turned cold. "I can be THE Pillow Princess, but you sure know how to beg, darling."
After a few minutes of unmerciful torture, the tickles stopped. Nipple Knight immediately dropped to the floor while breathing heavily. When he looked at PP, they were in the process of making a new cup of tea, ignoring him completely.

"C-can we start talking normally now?" He asked the princess. They finally looked at him with eyes filled with false questionable innocence. "What do you mean love? We're talking normally. You just decided to trash around the floor with hysteria." They rolled their eyes, but stood up and walked to the Knight. "Now listen to me carefully, I will try to help you, only because Mustard Royalty wrote to me earlier about everything. About their plan... First lesson will start tomorrow morning. Now move your sad existence somewhere where I can't see it."

As the sun rose, PP was already wide awake. "I don't have much time, just a few hours left." They said. When the Knight finally woke up, it already was afternoon and the trainings were soon to begin. In the moment he walked through their doors for the first time, PP noticed how pressed and insecure he was, if he is ever to learn new abilities, he has to live in peace with himself. He had to meditate. Exactly one moment before PP wanted to begin the training, the Knight asked them a question: "What's your name?" "It's none of your concern, darling, but perhaps you could tell me yours." answered PP. "Well, my name is actually Mo, but everyone calls me Nipple Knight, as you perhaps noticed. I guess it's just what everyone is used to." "What about your parents?" asked the Princess. "Do they call you Nipple Knight aswell?" "I don't know, I haven't seen them in a while, due to the Knight training and stuff and as it seems, I've still got a long journey before me." answered Mo. "Hmm... Well, doesn't matter. Let's begin your training, shalln't we? Okay so, I think, that the best way to learn new powers with ease, is to understand yourself. I mean, I am not completely sure, as I never had to deal with your sort of ability, but it's worth giving it a shot."

The Princess moved their hand slightly, and so did thousands of feathers lift the Knight off of the floor. The feathers took the Knight in the direction of a mountain, that barely anyone uses now, as it was too hard to climb and the sights were too mediocre to try. Mo looked around full of fear, as he never flew before, just to notice that PP is right behind him. "You having fun?" they asked him, even though they were convinced he was too overwhelmed to say anything. "I actually do." Said the knight, which surprised Pillow. "Huh, you're not as weak as I thought. I assumed you wouldn't be able to do anything else but lay, yet you looked around and even said something." "Guess we both underestimated each other." said Mo with a smile.

When they finally arrived at the mountain, Mo asked the Princess how long they are going to stay and what he was even supossed to do there, therefore the Princess answered: "Tell me, what do you think of the view of this mountain?" "I don't know, it's kinda ugly to be completly honest." said Nipple Knight with slight disgust on his face. "We are going to stay here. until you'll learn to see the beauty in the ugly and see the ugly in the beauty. I want you to find peace within yourself." finished the Princess. Mo looked at them surprised, he wondered how he was supossed to do that. "You got any tips Purrincess?" "You don't want to know what's gonna happen to you, if you 'Purrincess' me again." Said Pillow irritated. "Woah woah woah, calm down, your temper seems a little bit to small to be talking about peace." answered Mo. "Ugh, you are right, let's calm down." they said. "Yeah, it's getting late anyways, I think we should go to sleep." He proposed. "Yeah, good idea. Let's just stop the training while we're at it. The Unknown will defeat himself... But perhaps you're right, wee can start tomorrow. You're gonna have to work much harder though, we don't have much time, before The Unknown's going to notice that we are onto something." He agreed and they both laid down in their sleeping bags. "My name is Thea." They said. "Oh, is this why you love to drink tee so much?" Asked Mo jokingly. "Perhaps, who knows." they said. "Well, nice to meet you, Thea. Good night." "It was endurable to meet you too aswell, Mo. Sleep well."
