Did The Angels Kick You Out?

Chapter 11

So I accepted his offer... Not only because this place was awfully appealing but also because I need a change of landscape. I'm pretty sure Zen needed it too... Moreover I have no clue where Cyan ran off and what I'm supposed to do with me or- I sighed... I just need to clear my head.

It was already past sunset and there were oil lamps lit up everywhere, on the sides of pebbled road too. This place don't have any modern technology.. it was a total fantasy thing.  I can see the infinite stars in the sky! I've never once saw this many of them ever before! It was stunning!

We walked around for about half an hour. I was totally immersed in the landscape when Zen asked.

"Shall we go back? I think Cyan would also have returned by now."

I nodded.

So we headed back. The lights were on and as Zen has predicted Cyan was already there, in the kitchen.

"You're late.." He said without even turning.

"What are you doing?" Zen asked in a soft voice.

"Preparing dinner. Someone's gotta do that.." he replied grumpily.

"Let me help" Zen said walking towards him.

Okay.. what was I supposed to do now? It feels awkward.. I'm not imposing on them..?

"You can wait with Momoko" Zen said taking to me a little bird. It was golden in color and was shining! It was magical!

It perched on my hand and I looked at it amazed.

Zen smiled and went back to kitchen.

After a while, they came back with trays of food and seated down.

"So.. what have you decided?" Zen asked Cyan.

"Aria and I are going on a quest." He said.

"We don't have to, I don't want to revive... I shouldn't I was supposed to die and I'm dead. That's it" I said.

Cyan glared at me. "Noone asked your opinion."

What? "I'm the one in question here! My opinion matters the most!" I shot at him.

"I'll do what I want." I said chomping on his food.

What's wrong with him now?

Zen coughed. "Umm Can we not start drama again..?" He sighed.
"Why are you so determined to revive her again Cyan? It's not your fault everyone knows that"

I nodded

He looked at Zen with a grumpy but... sad expression? He didn't looked guilty but...

Zen sighed... "Fine, do what you like. But don't get her and yourself in trouble! I will help you.." he said utterly defeated.

"You better do." Cyan said.

"Is that how you talk to someone who agrees to help you?" Zen asked narrowing his eyes.

I'm again feeling like a third person... Why don't I have any say in this? I thought this thing was mine!? I should be the one to decide how it goes!?
Things never goes as planned...

"You!" Cyan said pointing at me. He still sounded grumpy. "You'll do as I say!"

"Huh?!"

Zen smacked on his head. "Where are you manners!?"

"Hey!! Don't come in my way when I'm acting cool!" He yelled back.

Does he think that line just now.. was cool?  Point duly noted- when he act like a jerk understand he is trying to act cool I thought.

They started bickering like kids.

"You're not my mama!"
"That's how you ashame me in front of others!"
"Shut up Mistress!"
"Shut up devil!"

I laughed. It was soo funny.
Seeing me laugh, Zen started laughing also. But Cyan inflated his cheeks like a baby. Oh what a grown up baby!

"So we're going to the the Elven Castle tomorrow!" Zen cheered raising his glass.

"But we gotta make a plan before that dummy!" Cyan interrupted.

"Yes, yes, then shall we?"

They both again ignored me.. but what I even want to say I don't know. As much as I'm aware i shouldn't revive but as much as I want to... I don't want to die this young.. I don't know. I sighed
