Aurin's trip

The OTHER others

I embarrassed myself infront of everyone...
I tought I've gotten better at disassociating...

I looked around nervous.
I suddenly felt a pair of hands on my waist.
"Calm down!"

Lii had sat next to me, without me noticing.
I calmed myself down and looked at the others.

"Im Qto! It seems like you already talked to my brother. Im am anical just like him." The boy that asked the question said, smiled at me and then at Hay.

Then a boy that was floating in the air caught my attention. "Oh, Im Xenozen. Magician and older brother of Lii-Dee!" He said. He must have seen me stare at him...
Embarrassing!

Suddenly two guys stumbled into the room.
"We're Kao and Saki! SORRY FOR BEING LATE! They said in sink.

The others just nodded.
"No prob!" Another dude with wings said.
"Oh, Im Luis by the way!" He said and smiled at me.

"God! This takes forever!" One of the groaned and glared at me in annoyance.

"Wow, Mercury. You could be alot of nicer!" Kata glared at him and crossed her arms.

"Bleh!" He turned around and left.

"Don't mind him please! He's being an grumpy dick all the time!" A boy said.

"By the way, I'm Merlock, also Human..." he said said. He seemed realy empathetic to me. I smiled at him.

"My turn!" a voice said.

It was a.... MERMAN??

"Im Karlay." He said...

Another guy, that had glared at me, now looked curiously over to me... "Snake!" He just said, trying to sound bored.
Didn't work that well, he realized as Mona and Kata started to burst-out-laugh.

!Now that didn't work well..." A guy said and looked at Snake, "Ade!!!" He said and looked over to another guy that looked like he really was about to fall asleep.

"What?" The guy said and glared at the other.
"Introduce yourself" he simply said.
"You didn't too!" The guy said.

"Ugghh" the other sighned and looked at me.
"My name is Zero, this is Adam!" He points at the other.

Many have left the room, but Kata, Memzo, Mona, Namka, Lii, Xenozen, Luis, Ospae, Zero and Karlay stayed.

I was still kind of nervous, because of the many stares I felt on me...

"Where are you from?"
"Why are you here?"
"Do you work for the King?"
"Have you heard our theme song yet?"
"Do you want to play dress up?" (Namka)
"Can you fight?"
"Are you really a human?"
"Do you have Money?"
"How long did it take for you to come here?"
"Are you staying?"
"Do you have family?"
"Ghaiadjhjgoknqnehufxujwpxlejhch"

So many questions were asked at the same time and it became more and more, until it eventually became overwhelming.

"EVERYONE STOP!!!" I heard.
As I looked up I saw an concerned Zero.
"Are you OK?" He asked.

"Don't you worry, Im fine... could you guys please slow down with the questions? You didn't even give me any time to answer!" I said quietly.

"Sorry!"

"Where are you from!" Xenozen asked.
"Kelka.... it's an small village in the north... always covered in snow... cold and dark..." I said and smiled sadly.

The winters are worse that everyone here could've imagined. It's dark everyday and snowstorms are happening almost every hour. If someone doesn't come back in time, they'll get buried deep under the snow and won't be seeing the daylight, more like the day-darkness ever again...

"Do you work for the King?" Memzo asked.

"NO. Ofcourse not... and I hope I will never too!" I said with a shocked face. How bold to assume that I'm working for the King.

"Can you fight?" Luis asked.

"Not really... Only a small bit, like fist-fighting... You don't need it where I'm from!" I said.

"Wow. Thats amazing!" Namka said and smiled.

That was a lie. In my town it's all about fighting and ranks... you aren't good enough you get treated shitty... You get bullied and hurt by others because your weak...
At least it makes you stronger mentally and you can go against torture longer...

"You are a Human or...? No magic?" Ospae asked.

"Nope. Not the slightest bit. Im fully human!" I said and smiled shyly.

"Are you planning on staying?" Zero asked.

"Well, not for long... I need to- Well, we need to continue the 'trip'..." I said.

"Do you have any family?" Karlay said.

I chuckled a bit, "YES! I do have family... My mother, my grandpa, Lilly and Anya..., Oh, and dad and my brother Antonio... but he's never home.... they're both on journeys the WHOLE time..." I said and smiled sadly... I missed them alot.

"Why are you here anyways?" Kata asked curiously.

"About that.... long story short, I heard about a treasure and I want to try and find it... we don't know if it's real but we'll hope for our best." I said.

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF ITS REAL BUT YOU TRAVELLED ALL THIS WAY???"

Jup, they clearly were shocked.

"Well yes but-"

"DO YOU WANNA PLAY DRESS-UP??" Namka interrupted and jumped up and down.

"Why yes!" I said and signed a bit... she reminded me ALOT of Anya and Lilly... How are they even doing right now?? Oh I hope they're okay... I'm hoping with all my heart...
