Incarnation

Chloe.

  James woke up and let out a loud yawn while scratching his scalp. He sat up on his bed and looked around his room. His walls were painted a dark shade of blue, and his floor was lined with white carpet. He pushed his gray blanket off his body and got out of his bed. He stretched his arms upward and let out another yawn. Two soft hands attempted to pull him back to the bed.

"Come back to bed," Chloe whined. Her long blonde hair was messy, but she still managed to look good in her purple silk pajamas. She hugged his back and kissed his cheek. "We were having so much fun," She smiled.

James turned his head to kiss her. "I'll admit it was a great idea for you to sneak in, but I have to go now." He went into his wooden drawer and pulled out a plain white T-shirt.

"What do you think?" He held the shirt up to his neck. Chloe rolled her eyes with a smirk on her face.

"Ravishing," She joked. "So how was your mission yesterday?" She asked while twirling her hair. James struggled to put on his t-shirt;

"Um, you know, it was ok. Searched the forest, defeated a minotaur, ancient prophecy. All that crap." Chloe got up and helped James put his shirt on, looking into his eyes worryingly.

"What do you mean ancient prophecy?" She asked. James chuckled to make light of the subject.

"It's really nothing, just some junk a Demon was mouthing off about." He said. Chloe rolled her eyes. She walked out of James's room.

"I'm getting breakfast."

James grabbed a pair of silk purple pants from his drawer and put them on. He exited his room into the hallway with many other spare rooms. James's room was labeled by a blue door, and across from him was a room labeled by a red door which appeared to be Orion's. The floor and the stairs were lined with purple carpeting, and the stairs lead downstairs to the entrance of the house. The door was made of a solid blue metal to dissuade burglars, although anyone attempting to rob the boys would meet a gruesome fate.

He walked the small hallway that met perpendicular to the entrance. The hallway was lined with paintings of female and male warriors from all over the world. The first picture was a dark-skinned female warrior, wearing brown leather armor. Her long black hair was in a ponytail, and she was holding a wooden spear in her right hand while pointing into the distance with her left hand. A large army stood at attention behind her. awaiting orders for battle.

The next painting featured a tall pale man with a long brown beard. He held a large steel warhammer with both his hands. He smashed the weapon on the skull of what looked like a feral wolf beast. Many other beasts surrounded him scratching at his gray plate armor.

The last picture James noticed was a man with dark brown skin, wearing a white robe and a white turban on his head. The man only held a book on his side pressing it against his robe.

James took small glances at each picture walking through the hallway to the kitchen. He saw Chloe eating an apple in an ashwood chair. The kitchen was small and had white marble flooring. There was only a marble countertop with two wooden chairs in front of it. There was a wooden basket on the counter with many assorted fruits. In the corner of the kitchen was a large shelf filled with kitchen supplies. Chloe grabbed a pan from the shelf and started to inspect it.

"I didn't know you guys cooked?" She asked.

James chuckled. "Well no all the cooking is done by one of the maids outside," He pointed to the wooden door in the back of the kitchen which Chloe assumed lead to the yard. James grabbed an orange from the fruit basket,tossed it into the air, and caught it as it fell. Chloe went down a small set of stairs into a living room with white carpets and two couches. She slumped on the couch extending her body outward with a large yawn. "You've really got it made here babe, free housing, food, you can basically lie around all day,"
