Victims of The Voice

Chapter Three (3): Ceilis, The Flying City

The morning sun lightly beamed into the airship's rooms and cabin as Enzo with a gruff voice shouted "Alright! Up and at ''em you maggots!" Vigo who was standing beside Enzo, mumbled under his breath "Maggots... That's one way to wake them up.." Enzo shot him a look as he stiffened his voice "Eh? What did you say?!" "Oh! It was nothing!" Vigo coughed, Enzo annoyed by Vigo started to spit out 'facts' about himself "I may be old but not old enough to lose my hearing, ya hear!" "Yes, yes it is clear to me." Vigo defended himself " It better be clear!" Enzo scoffed with frustration. Soon Trellis's bedroom door opened as it slightly creaked, there came out Trellis yawning as his light blue Amulet hanged around his neck "Morning Captain." Trellis yawned "Mornin' to ya Prince." Enzo greeted back "I've said to you before, don't call me 'prince'." Trellis informed him, "Right, right... Alright morning to you your Majesty." Enzo corrected but this seemed to piss off Trellis more than he already was as Trellis sighed, Emily came out of her room, Vigo saw the dark, grey circles that laid beneath Emily's eyes
"Jeez... How does a simple 'Good Morning' piss you off?" Emily questioned as she rubbed her eyes, yawning "No, it's not that I mean it's the way you address me." Trellis answered, Enzo asked "What do you mean by 'it's the way you address me'." Trellis looked at Enzo as he replied "I just wish to not be called 'Prince' or 'Majesty' until the Coronation... whenever that's happening." Enzo nodded as he walked to the Pilot's Cabin, leaving Vigo, Emily and Trellis alone at deck "Look like you two haven't gotten proper sleep." Vigo replied after a while of silence "You think?" Trellis snapped back "Sorry... I just got annoyed there." As he apologised, Vigo chuckled "Heh! It's fine, I understand anyways!" "That's good..." Emily said as she yawned again "But still... a simple good morning pisses you off? Ha!" Emily chuckled, Trellis tried to hold back a growl, Vigo thought as he sighed 'Somethings never change...' Trellis snapped his fingers in front of Vigo as Vigo jumped back a bit "Uhm— How about we go and get some breakfast, you two must be hungry." Vigo quickly ushered, Emily and Trellis nodded as they both walked to the Luna Moth's kitchen, Vigo sighed in a relief.

When Emily and Trellis entered the room, they both smelled fresh cooked eggs as it filled the air, "Good Morning, Mum!" Emily greeted "Good Morning, Mrs Hayes..." Trellis spoke, softly "Ah! Good Morning to the both of you!" Karen (Mrs Hayes) cheered, Emily and Trellis sat at the kitchen counter, they both saw Luger solving a what Emily called a 'sudoku' they also saw Rico helping out with the plates "You all are awake." Trellis and Emily look at doorway of the kitchen as they saw a familiar fox figure "Leon!" Emily shouted, Leon the fox smiled at Emily as Emily rushed up to hug him, she lowered down to wrap her arms around him "I thought you were with Navin!" Emily said "I am." Leon informed as he gestured Emily to another airship, that was flying beside them, Emily saw Navin and Aly waving at them as Emily waved back with a warm smile on her face, she knew that her brother was safe. "Alright! Come and have breakfast!" Karen called.
As Everyone was having breakfast, a sudden announcement was on 'Alright! I know you're having breakfast there but we've reached Ceilis and I need some breakfast too!' Enzo ranted at the speaker as everyone in the kitchen laughed in unison, Trellis quickly stopped laughing as he placed his plate in the sink "How about I go and give him, his breakfast plus I'm already finished anyways." Trellis offered, Karen nodded as she handed Trellis a plate filled with a sunny side egg and bacon, Trellis walked out of the kitchen and into the Pilot's Cabin as he saw Enzo sitting there.

Trellis—
He saw the lazy cat sitting there snoring as Trellis nudged him to wake up "SNRK—! Huh? Oh, my breakfast!" Enzo took the plate out of Trellis's hand as Trellis looked out of the Pilot's view, he saw the beautiful city, Ceilis as Trellis saw the clouds swarming around the city's walls, he could merely spot a group of people walking out of the city's peach gates then a sinking feeling stabbed him 'What if...' Trellis interrupted the thought as he reassured himself 'You don't need to worry... Vigo will be there.' Trellis speaks up "Anyways, we should probably get going, some people are waiting for us." "Really? Damn, you can see that far?" Enzo muffled as bits of his breakfast flew out of his mouth "I thought Cats had good eyesight... maybe you're not old enough to lose your hearing but maybe old enough to lose your sight~" Trellis mocked as he quickly ran out from the Pilot's Cabin, Enzo called after him as he cussed out, Trellis stopped to catch his breath and laughed "Do you really have to piss off Enzo every morning?" A voice called from behind Trellis, Trellis quickly looked behind him, it was just Vigo "I mean it's fun to see his reaction every time." Trellis shrugged, Vigo sighed "Well, we should get going. Wanna help get the others with me?" Vigo asked, Trellis nodded as they both walked.

Emily—
As Trellis left the Kitchen,  Emily finished up her breakfast as she placed in the sink she felt her mother grab and coo "Oh, look at you! Grown up so quickly!" Emily tried to pull from her mother's grasp but her Mum tightened her grasp onto Emily, Emily sighed as she smiled "Okay...Okay! You holding me so tight!" "Oh! Sorry dear..." Her Mum apologised, Emily noticed a shift in her tone it sounded sad "Mum, Are you okay?" Emily asked, Karen looked up at her daughter who shared a concerned look on her face "I'm fine, Emily," Karen assured her, Emily returned with relieved smile. TAK! TAK! It came from someone knocking on the kitchen's wooden door, it was Trellis and Vigo "Come on! We've got some people waiting for us at the gates." Vigo told as everyone left the kitchen to go see, Trellis caught up with Emily as he spoke "Where's Leon?" Emily looked at him, she could see the stitched scar on his face which slashed on his right side, she chuckled "Leon went back to the airship to check on Aly and Navin." Trellis saw her sigh of relief as they trotted down the Luna Moth's stairs, there, a group of people greeted the Guardian Council as they walked through the crowd of people, waving, Emily saw the bright smiles on everyone's faces as they thanked them multiple times.

Soon they entered a small shop, there a elderly women was studying blueprints as she looked up, she gasped and started to shake Emily,Trellis and Vigo's hand "Why it's nice to see you in Ceilis!" The women greeted "Yes, it definitely is." Vigo hugged the lady, they disconnected from the hug as the women questioned "Now why are you here?" "We wanted ask you if you had any blueprints of the Elf King's Castle?" Vigo answered, the lady was hesitant as she spoke "Uh- yes I might have some at the back, it will take a while..." The lady scurried off to the back of the shop as Vigo turned around "How about you two go and explore the City?" He offered, Emily and Trellis didn't reply for a while "How come?" Trellis broke the silence "Well... I've noticed that the both of you have been quite stressed so I wanted to give you guys a break but don't worry after me and her finish with the blueprints I will tell you everything okay?" Vigo informed, Emily just shrugged as she exited the shop, "That girl doesn't care at all..." Trellis mumbled under his breath "What was that?" Vigo teased "Uh! It was nothing I should also get going!" Trellis exclaimed as he quickly exited out of the shop as well, Vigo chuckled.
