Opkepa Rattop Hedplei

Chapter 76

Komfoni was down in the goufa floor rocking Ryatt and a couple of other toddlers to sleep when a skaigonakru guard raced into the room. Silently though. They didn't have a death wish or anything. Heading straight for Komfoni to hand her a note marked with her name a little symbol that meant, urgent. Nodding once she slowly stands and transfers the snorers into other hands one by one. Then calmly strides out of the door to read the correspondence in private with some better lighting. Quickly she scans the note and transcribes it in her head while skaigonakru races to get a chair and supplies for her to sit down and officially write it fully. But what she finds is not what she expected. Now clutching the wall in an attempt to not fall over in shock at the words she finds. Flapping a hand at a gona to hurry it up they race faster. Helping her in a chair and watching anxiously knowing it can't be good with Komfoni reacting. She NEVER reacted. And if she did. It was never good. That much was VERY clear to everyone. You can hear a pin drop in that room until the very second that Komfoni finishes with a long deep sigh. Rubbing her temples as she thinks.

"I need to go to the Heda chambers to consult something. Please fetch Hedasis Luna for me and have her meet me there. And it is VITAL for you to be calm. I do not want to alarm anyone." Komfoni instructs rising slowly and making her way to the elevators. Luna isn't all surprised to be summoned after she saw the update come from one of the gonas. But when she finds Komfoni at Lexa and Clarke's table bent over a sacred law text looking a bit... frazzled. Yea that would be the moment her heart leaps out of her damn chest.

"WHAT HAPPENED!? ARE THEY OKAY!?" Luna shrills with a panic level of a full 10.5.

"Sit," Komfoni demands pointing to the chair beside her.

"Jok! They're dead. They're dead and now I gotta be joken Heda and I nomajoken suck at being Heda!" Luna raves worriedly as she paces nervously.

"I SAID SIT!" Komfoni barks loudly causing her to squawk and jump almost to the ceiling. All while attempting to scramble to the chair like a nut job. Tipping the chair CLEAN over and having to set it back up TWICE before she gets it right. Komfoni just sits there frowning at this weird child unamused until she finishes. "You good now?" She deadpans.

"Mmmhmm... sorta... kinda... not really... just say it," Luna whines bracing for the bad news and white-knuckling the table.

"No one is dead." Komfoni voices causing a groan of relief to erupt from this spastic weirdo. The child wilts in that chair like she is literally melting inside it. Both aged eyebrows lift at this dramatic sight. "Just read it." She instructs handing over the transcribed letter. Another groan... this one in disproval sounds out.

"I HAAATTEEE READDDINNNGGGG!!!!" Luna whines like a goufa.

"Would you rather me slap you upside your head first before you read it?" Komfoni deadpans, causing Luna to sit up straight and grab frantically for the letter.

"Nope. Reading the letter fine now." Luna quickly voices. Reading the writing at once to appease the woman and avoid any slaps or future slaps aimed her way. But the more she reads the wider those dark brown eyes get. By the end, she is growling and white-knuckling the table furiously.

"I AM GOING TO KILL THE NOMAJOKA!" Luna growls pushing back from the table furiously and slamming the letter down.

"THERE WE GO! FINALLY!" Komfoni mutters in exasperation, throwing her hands up. But suddenly Luna freezes in her angry pacing and shoots a look of panic the elder's way.

"Fuck. They have to kill him." Luna whispers in realization.

"Sha." Komfoni nods once solemnly.

"She can't do that... They can't do that alone, Komfoni..." Luna divulges worriedly walking closer to the table again.
