Living in an Imagination

I write Anxieties not Tragedies

Eda's PoV

Very early in the butt crack of dawn of next morning...

"Are you all ready?" Quetzal piped loudly and enthusiastically from the corridor, "It's gonna be a long trip and journey ahead!"

I opened my door and rubbed my eyes, "Quetz, keep it down, you're hurting my ears."

"Whatever, meet me downstairs in 10 minutes!"

Although the others have their doors closed, audible tired moans can be heard.

Glier walked out, prepped for departure and fresh, "You heard the lady! Get moving!"

With Glier pushing everyone out of their beds and into the bathroom, we managed to barely make it on the 10 minute mark. Most of us are pretty grumpy, namely Autumn, Aria, Elsa and me.

Quetzal's lips twitched as she saw us with our just-awake faces, "You guys are going whether you want it or not."

Cue the death glares, Xeno snorted from his couch where he was lying in, without glancing away from his phone.

Proud of you Eda, that was the best threat she has received.

Right, I forgot that Zalgo... correction, Xeno... can talk to me through my mind now since I reaccepted him as part of my personality and therefore gave him his alignment.

Chaotic. Neutral. Why? Am I really that bad in it?

I can hear you. Xeno sat up from the couch. He gave everyone a small smile.

"Good luck, kids," he gave a small salute which Glier proudly returns.

Quetzal snapped her fingers and we promptly disappeared. The time tunnel thingy was... catchy... it was filled with so much colours I had trouble believing it was straight (ha ha, Get it?).

The entire route was really boring, Aria and Rhea was playing with games on their phones, Delta and Elsa took the chance for a small snooze, Glier was reading, Autumn and me... not doing much.

So that's when I decided to connect with Xeno, try to get his thoughts. Surprise surprise, apparently I didn't know we can hear each other's conversations.

Quetzal's voice, saying, "I wasn't wrong when I gave you a chance to talk to the Creators, I regret non of it, well done."

Then, Xeno replied rather sarcastically, "Well done as in telling the truth or telling Eda about me and him?"

"Either, she didn't know?"

"She knows."

Through Xeno's eyes, I saw Quetzal nodding in relief, "They need to know, now you need to keep your powers in check much more now since you're now part of her."

Xeno huffed, blowing his fringe up a bit, "Yeah, yeah... keep your powers in check, Xeno. Keep them happy, Xeno..." he mocked them went back to his original posture in the couch.

Hope you get that tad bit of information, I am now the anxiety in your personality. He said in a monotone voice.

Um... thanks...?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well! We arrived at the place eventually, and guess what, it was night here! We had somehow travelled an entire 12 hours in the time tunnel.

Elsa shrieked, "Oh my Olympus, where are we?"

Our surroundings only consisted of buildings and buildings and forests, that's all, nothing else. Oh, did I fail to mention it was really dark? Only one or two buildings had lights on. Under the dim light, I could at least see that the buildings were made of wood and straw, like what you would find in a fantasy world.
