Pheobis's Journal

Entry 2

{{^^^If you have fan art for this book I will gladly put it above  (I'm sort of taking the idea from StarstruckZodiacs Burning Embers book go check it out)^^^}}

Glossamer and Ares talked to me yesterday and  Glossamer said she and Ares would come by this morning, I am already up and they haven't arrived yet. Ares already has wings but Glossamer doesn't.

I bet when Glossamer gets her wings they'll be blue and striped like the butterfly she was named after! Ares likes to pick fights a lot and is usually found in misbehavers way for this very reason. Ha, I'm already in a better mood today, but that might be because I'm actually going somewhere and doing something other then sitting on my tail all day.

Ares has really pale white wings that fade to a orange color. He's mostly orange other than his wings but does have red sort of freckles here and there. I probably just look like a younger yellow version of him.

Glossamer is a nice grey blue color and she has little bands of brown around her wrists and ankles. She usually she wears little black bracelets there, or fake gold ones. She wants to have a job like my mom Nectar has.

Nectar is red. Like REALLY red. No other colors anywhere it confuses me because I don't have almost any red on me. My mom basically sits on display all day for Helixes family for contests and stuff. It's a stupid waste of time just sitting there with your wings out trying to look pretty. Prettiest gets the prize. Sit around. Do nothing. Look good. Boom you've got a job at Jewel hive. Bunch of poppy-cock if you ask me.

Helix is a sort of friend of mine. I haven't talked to him since the accident. He's a Hivewing so I probably won't feel up to talking to him for a while. My mom works for his family but I don't remember his parents names. Why should I if they're tremendous condescending jerk faces? It's not like they even took notice or pity when my f̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶d̶i̶e̶d̶. Oh my Clearsight, I just don't like them it's not like they know my name either though, only Helix does.

Oh! I heard a knock! I should probably write more later today.

NECTAR IF YOU'RE READING THIS STOP SNOOPING IN MY JOURNAL AND QUIT BEING A CREEP. Thank you.

Glossamer and Ares did show up like I thought they were going to when I wrote that I heard them knocking on the door. We went to the Glitterbazaar and, Glossamer said that if I saw anything I liked she'd get it for me. Ares laughed at this, and I knew I probably wouldn't want anything there (except well, food). I don't particularly like wearing jewelry or anything like that, though sometimes I'll wear something simple or if something kind of fancy it's whatever my mom makes me wear for a event.

It wasn't super crowded today and it was kind of nice. We stopped at a small food stall run by this pink silkwing and the stall was decorated with little intricate silk pieces which I'm pretty sure were for sale too. I wonder if I'll ever be that skilled with my silk when I get it. I'm pretty sure her name was Lace? There was this weird bit when Ares asked her if one of her silk weavings was supposed to be a tree. 

She could get arrested for that so I don't know why she'd have it.

We ate these really good strawberries though they were kinda small. Lace had apparently dipped them in sugar which made them taste better.

We stopped at a few other stalls, just to look and see. Some were kinda nice. Though there was this weird hat stall that was run by a silkwing but all the hats seemed to be made for Hivewings. In a way that would (if a silkwing was wearing it) annoy your antenna. We looked around the hats there for a bit.

Afterwords we went to Dragonfly Square and it was a lot more peaceful there then the three floors below. The little art pieces of dragonflies around the square are always kinda nice to look at. We sorta sat there and talked, I do feel a bit bad for changing the subject so frequently when I got nervous about talking about the incident or about my dad.

Here's sort of how it went; (but was longer I just don't want to go over all the details of the incident in my head again today)

Ares; So how do you feel about it?

Me (Pheobis); Feel about what?

Glossamer (Gloss); That day, ya know? Do you want to talk about it.

Pheobis; (I was just really quiet and it was really awkward for a bit) So the strawberries were good.

Gloss; Yeah they were! They were really sweet.
Ares; They were just as sweet as normal strawberries numb skull. (He sorta nudged her with his wing, I think he was trying to get on her nerves or lighten the mood)

Gloss; Ha! The owner said she added sugar, I dunno what strawberries you've been eating, those were really good.

Ares; Well Phoebe what do you think of the strawberries?

Pheobis; They were alright.

Gloss; Ares! His name is Pheobis not Phoebe!

Ares; I know that. Pheobis argees with me though that the strawberries were normal.

Gloss; Pheobis did your dad like strawberries?

Pheobis; I know my mom likes strawberries, the owner was good with silk though. All those decorations were pretty nice.

Gloss; They were really well designed. You know if you or your mum need anything you can always ask our family right?

Pheobis; Yep. You've both told me and my mom that before. I wonder if we'll ever be that good with our silk. Can you make stuff like that with your silk Ares?

Ares; oh yeah sure. Watch this.
(He started to shoot it at someone's house!!! Hivewings live in this square so we could get in trouble! Oh yeah if you're a Hivewing and reading this; MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! AND I DIDN'T COMIT THE CRIME, ARES DID! This is when our casual conversation sort of stopped and other things began to happen)

Gloss; ARES. No. Not hereeeeee. We could get in trouble.

I just watched. I really didn't care if I got caught at that moment, it was kinda cool.

Ares kept weaving silk, sending it out through his wrists. He made a long T shape then put a circle on top, then made another intersection in the middle of the T then filled parts of it in making both sides symmetrical, he made a loop  attaching one line to another then made another line under the fist set.

He was making a giant silk dragonfly.
And. It. Was. Awesome.

It wasn't dyed but the dim lamp lights in this part of the hive the silk looked almost red. It contrasted with all the other small dragonfly sculptures around the Square which were blues and greens.

Glossamer started panicking a bit and it was kind of funny.

The end of the silk dragonflies tail was covering the door to a dragons home (probably a Hivewings) and it was definitely a good thing we got going when we did because if the owner of that home showed up while we were there we most surely would be in Misbehavers way.

Gosh I hope if a Hivewing finds my journal and is reading it right now they (PLEASE!) won't tell a soul. Also again THEY SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS! ESPECIALLY HELIX RIGHT NOW!

I'll be having dinner with Nectar soon, she said we'd be having some star moss and mangoes. Though I'm not sure how she's going to cook the star moss because dad was the one that cooked a lot.

That was actually his job, he was a chef.

Oooop! Nectar sounds like she just dropped something, I've got to go help her in the kitchen!
