The end of bygones,
the beginning hereinafter.Entry 97,
Once upon a day, a blurr decade have passed, and the rarely opened gates... creaked.
Upon stepping out of the gates, the guard whose almost at his late prime looked up the clear sky. It took him quite awhile just idly admiring the spring like sky, feeling the unusual but comforting breeze that he rarely breathes outside the inclosed vicinity, almost made him want to lay right there and just lazy around with the line of thought. Ah life is so boring this past years.
After a while of reminiscing he finally look around, wondering if he heard it right or wrong but surely that voice just a while ago....."Hey, what are you doing here?"
The guard looked at the kid about seven to eight years old standing right there looking at him. He looked around again, and just to confirm that there's only this peculiar little girl here and that thing behind her, oh no, not thing but a.... bear?
What the?!
The guard give a suprised look, its really a bear!
He walk towards 'that', half excited, half curious, feeling quite jittery, that pair of eyes that once look lifeless earlier now twinkles with interest. The guard squatted and looked at the lying bear, it look unconcious, sleeping rather, but most of all, what's does this hot blooded mammal doing in front of the gate a?Its was a massive beast, with a imposing brown furr. He looked at the girl who followed his movement and now squatted but also fearlessly poking the beast's stomach.
What is the meaning of this?The guard's mouth twitched, more curious than he ever be his past years.
"Hey girly." upon the call the little girl looked up at him with those unusual clear black eyes, the guard also looked more with interest.
"Are you not scared of this beast? It can eat you ya know?"
The guard half inquired half teasing but the girl only looked at him with disappointed eyes. His mouth twitched again but decided the peer more.
"Are you lost girly? What are you doing here?"
"How about you, old man? You're a guard? But you look like old and weak, not like those man in black, you look more like the idle old man from the main house though.... Are you sure your a guard? When? Why? How?"The guard was taken aback from the girl's nonstop blatant words assault, aside from hitting his sore spot right on and even rubbing salt into it to the point of aggravation, still, half of his heart he finds the girl quite amusing. The girl is not only peculiar but also eloquent!
Half unconciously he brush his almost white beard, half smiling, and thought, what a weirdo brat.
"Hmm, you're quite young yourself, girly. But you havent answered me, how did you get here? Did you got lost?""Not really."
"Oh, really?"
"A huh." the girl cheekily nooded, she tilted head to a side which made her adorably cute, she then looked at scenery behind the old guard. From squatting she took her tiny steps with her little feet, neared the thick wall gates. She craned her delicate neck. Boldly peeking, searching what might be interesting inside that inclosed vicinity.The guard follows but stand a few meters farther, amusedly looking at that little figure, somehow at the back of his mind, he somewhat wish that this girly was his grand daughter!
Just a mere seconds ticks the girl noddingly said, "My brother once told of this place. I just happenned to dropped by chance... hmm."
"Your brother?"
"A huh. You see, I got four brothers, they somewhat weirdos but its bearable, afterall with same blood running in our veins, its not like I could completely denounce them, so must only endure." the girl seems to be recalling, her honeyed voice hint a tinged of annoyance, sounding serious at the sametime, "Along the way I remembered oldest bro told me this place is cool. He have told me a lot stories that tested my internal endurance, but this one, I'm most curious about, it piqued my interest, you see?"
"Oh. I see. I see." The guard was half confused and half amused, "So what can you say, girly? This place is really cool, right?" somewhat sounding bashful infront of the girl, he was afterall a distinguished guard of such a cool place! Haha!
But he was soon dumbfounded by the next words he heard.
"Nah." the girl shakes her head while still looking behind the wall, taking the scene inside, just as ordinary, "I dont think so."
The girl after saying that retrieved her eyes from peeking and looked up at the old guard standing who was at the moment stiffened, she sighed like some adult and not one of her age, sounding as if full disappoint that made the proud guard cringed out of awkwardness.
"Its not cool at all, old man. So bland, looks so boring. Its like a empty box you know, old man. Not cool." after thats said, a certain blunt little pipsqueak suddenly turned back and started to walk away, really look like intending to leave.
The old guard also heard the girl sighing again two more times. He was momentarily rooted to ground, he cant believe what he just heard.
"H-hey, girly, w-where are going?"
"Leaving."
"A? W-hy?"
The girl once again halted beside the unconcious massive brown bear. Using her tiny and a bit plump leg she started to poke at beast's furry stomach,
"Kuma, let's go, let's go, were leaving. Wake up you fatso."
After poking and poking some more the beast stirred up.
*roarrr
"You're disgusting as ever, browny." the girl try to dodge the licking attack of the bear that has just breathed straight at her small face. "Stand done. Lay."
The massive beast after hearing such repramanding command obediently follows, like a domestic dog.... or rather it really is acting like one as of that moment....
"Good boy." the girl in swift movement, leapt and positioned herself at the beast back.
On the side, the guard's eyes even more twinkles upon seeing the unfolding scene. Cant help admire this peculiar little girl. Interesting!
"Let's leave."
"Wait girly!"
"What is it now, old man?"
"Dont you want to come inside?"
"You see old man, your place is not cool."
"Girly, you havent even see whats—-
"No. Boring." the girl flatly interjected, "On second thought, old man, I see you seems idle a? You want to tag along?"
