"Time to get up, young ones." Ruth poked her head around the corner and spoke softly, yet loud enough to wake the three up. Seth threw off his covers and stretched. By the time Seth was done stretching, Sylva was already standing up, doing a small jog in place to get her blood flowing. Jeffry was the slowest to rise that morning. "Good morning, Jeffry," Seth said. "Did you have any good dreams last night?" "No, not really. I was out like a light in a matter of seconds, and I don't remember my dream, if I had one. It actually felt nice not to have a dream." "How so?" Seth asked as he stood up. "Well, all those dreams I had seemed to each stir a certain emotion, causing me to feel different every time I woke up. Today, however, I feel neutral, not happy or sad, exited or depressed. It feels...nice."
The three brushed off their clothes and went in for breakfast. Ruth had prepared a plate for everyone. All the plates had fruits and vegetables that were prepared differently, but the smells coming off of the plates mashed together into a sweet smelling aroma that woke everyone up fully. "That smells very good, Ruth," Sylva said as she sat down. "Yes, thank you for doing this," Seth said as he sat beside her. Jeffry walked over and sat beside Seth, walking slowly as if he had something on his mind. "Are you ok, young man?" Ruth asked. "I just have something going through my mind." "Would you like to tell me what it is? Talking things through with others can help." "Well, I talked to Onyx last night." "You did? So the whole 'mental talking' thing worked?" "Yes, just like it does with Fang. When we talked, he asked me about the journey me and my friends are taking, and by the time we were finished, Onyx asked me a question that made me exited, yet sad." "What did he ask you, dear?" Ruth asked as she sat down slowly. "Before I say, may I ask you a question?" "Certainly, by all means, go ahead and ask." "What would you do without Onyx around?" Ruth was silent, but it wasn't a bad silence. "I guess I would just tend to my gardens all day. I don't have much to do around here. If anything, Onyx is a companion that keeps me from being lonely." "Well, Onyx asked me if he could...come with us..."
Ruth was silent. "Before I answer, what exactly are you three planning to do?" "May I explain?" Sylva interrupted. "Well, we are here to help you, mostly," Jeffry answered. "Go on ahead." "Well, if you didn't notice during the fight, I am a Videun. I was born in Valderk, in the small village of Gofk. The kingdom of Valderk has been overridden with demons for the past month or so, and I was one of the only, I not the only Videuns to escape. Through a series of events, the three of us have found out about Arch-Gaiagon, holy beasts that are said to have a strong bond with the great he and the ability to bestow holy weapons to those they deem worthy. Seth, Jeffry and I have a plan to find the five Arch-Gaiagon and use those weapons to purge the earth of those demons. I wasn't part of their conversation, so I don't know where Onyx's question came from, but eventually Jeffry will need to find a Gaiagon (other than a Forgon) that he trusts and feels a bond with so that he may take the trial of an Arch-Gaiagon. I think Jeffry feels that bond with Onyx, especially since Onyx has already saved his life."
Ruth sat and pondered for a minute. "I would be honored to let Onyx accompany you," She replied with a warm smile. "You would?" Jeffry said in surprise, as if he had expected the opposite reply. "Yes, because I think of it this way. If I let Onyx go with you three, and he does something important, than me saving Onyx's life five years ago was very important, if not vital to saving the earth. I would be thrilled if Onyx would accompany you." Jeffry smiled and thanked Ruth for allowing Onyx to come with him. "You are very welcome. I only ask that you fulfill the quest Sylva explained to me, and that you take good care of Onyx." Jeffry finished his food and asked if he could be excused to go see Onyx. Sylva joined him so that she could tell Fang the news. "Why are you so happy?" Ruth asked Seth who was still sitting at the table. "Seeing Jeffry get his Gaiagon reminds me that I will get my own one day," Seth replied with a smile, "and I'm looking forward to that."
