The Elemental Staffs Book 1

Chapter 2: Tackto

        Sam lead me through the gates of Tackto. It felt wrong to be here. I feel exsposed. Calzoo held his head high, smiling. Sam's wyvern Callco, looked at him like he was crazy. It embarrassed me a little. Sam walked expressionless. He was right before. Almost every person had brown hair and brown eyes here. Makes me wonder how Sam has blond hair and blue eyes.
        Another guard walked up to us. He had black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing the same armor as Sam. The wyvern at his side was red in color. It stund taller than Calzoo with scars around it's mouth and neck. It's crystal gray eyes seemed to stare right through me.
        "Hi, Sam. Who's this? I thought you were on patrol," The guard asked. The wyvern lowered it's head to me. I bite my lip. The wyvern smiled, which took me by surprise. "I'm sorry, have I scared you, my friend?" He asked, kindly. His voice was surprisingly bouncy. "Wait, what?" I asked, unable to hide my confusion. He laughed softly.
        I saw Sam whisper something into the other guard's ear. The guard looked shocked but didn't say anything. He walked up to me and held out his hand. "The name is Milo," The guard said. I shock his hand. "Nice to meet you," I said, leaving out my name guessing he already knew. I dropped his hand and looked at his wyvern. "Chewy," The wyvern said, almost bowing. It honestly made my stomach ache.
        Milo stood on his toes, as he whispered something to Chewy. Chewy's expression hardened. I sighed, closing my eyes. "We need to get out of public," Chewy said, calmly. I looked over at Sam and glared. Sam mouthed, "Trust me." I sighed again. "Let's go," Sam said.
       Me and Calzoo followed Sam, Milo, Callco and Chewy through the town. We came to a cafe. It looked new and was closed. Milo took some keys out of his pocket. He opened the door and held the door open for everyone to go inside. I don't what to be here. I was the last one inside. Milo closed and locked the door again before he turned to me.
       "Ok, let me get this straight. You are the princess and you have the nature staff," He got slitly louder at the words "princess" and "nature." I crossed my arms. "Do I really needed to answer that?" I asked. He put his head in his hands. "We are in so much trouble," He said, more to himself than anyone here. "What do you mean?" Sam asked. I looked at him like he was crazy. Does he know what a princess is for crying out loud. Milo sighed, dropping his hands to his sides. "It's nothing," He said, clearly lying.
       Milo looked me down. "Well, you did a good job at hiding. I would have never guessed you were the princess based off what your wearing," He said. I am wear ripped jeans, rubber boots, a ripped white shirt and a ripped brown jacket. All the rips caused by my trip here from the kingdom. I sighed. "Please stop calling me that," I said. Milo eyes left my ripped clothing and met my eyes. "Calling you what?" He asked. "Princess," I said. Milo looked at Sam. "Ok," He said slowly, clearly embarrassed.
       I heared footsteps going down a staircase. I girl came out of a door behind the counter. To be honest, I almost forgot we were in a cafe. The girl had red hair and green eyes. She was waering jeans, a pink shirt and a apron. She smiled but I still saw confusion in her eyes.
       "Milo, Sam. What is the reason for bring a stranger here right now. The cafe is closed," The girl said. She was trying to hide it but I could tell she didn't like someone with ripped clothing and just plain dirty in her cafe. Milo walked up to her. "Luna, is Tom upstairs. "Yes," She said, slowly. Sam walked up to them as well. "We need to get everyone upstairs. It's important," He said. Luna looked at me. I sighed again and looked away from her. Calzoo lowered his head, forcing me to make eye contact with him. "You will be ok," He whispered, smiling. I smiled back and hugged him. "Let's go upstairs, guys," Sam said calmly. I let go of Calzoo and follow the others upstairs.
