The Power Mark

Chapter 8

Lance POV

I woke up in the Blue Lion's hanger, still nestled in between her paws. I noticed I had a blanket draped over my shoulders, and sat up trying to figure out where it came from.

I spotted the Yellow Paladin sitting by the door, he seemed to be sleeping.

Did he give this to me?

Slowly, I stood up and stretched, carefully making my way over to him.

Reaching out my hand, I gently shook his shoulder. He inhaled deeply, before his eyes began to flutter open and he sat up groggily.

"Hey, good morning." He said.

I waved my hand in greeting, still unsure about him. He smiled before standing up next to me.

"Let's get some food, yeah?"

I nodded my head and followed him down the confusing hallways. His footsteps echoed slightly throughout the empty tunnels, while mine barely made a sound.

He led me to the kitchen, and began to cook with ingredients I had seen from other planets.

Eggs from Azuno, spices and sauces from Bodolla, milk-like substances from Gaiyama, and tomatoes, meats, and breads from Tiliv and Kianus.

I stood up from where I had been sitting and watched him begin to prepare a specialized version of eggs blackstone.
He noticed me watching and smiled.

"Would you like to help?" He asked.

I nodded in agreement, somewhat flustered that I had been caught. His grin grew wider and he handed me the eggs, asking me to poach them.

We finished as the rest of the Paladins walked into the room, rubbing their eyes tiredly. The Green Paladin perked up as they walked into the kitchen, sniffing the air.

"Woah! Hunk that smells amazing! What did you make?"

The Yell- Hunk smiled sheepishly. "Cessair and I made a version of eggs blackstone."

I blushed after being called out and turned my head away from them.

"Thanks you two," Shiro called out, before digging in.
The rest of us followed his example and enjoyed breakfast together.

Why am I eating with them though?

The thought crossed my mind as I was about to take a bite. I slowly lowered my fork.

Why are they being so nice to me now? What happened, are they blackmailing me? Looking for a weakness?

I put down my utensils and stood up. Everyone looked at me in confusion.

"Cessair? What's wrong?" The princess asked me, a worried look on her face.

I shook my head before replying.
"I'm not very hungry. Could you tell me where the training room is?" I signed to her.

"Of course, are you sure you don't want to eat?"

I nodded and she gave in, directing me to the training room. I headed there once I had it down.

Hopefully, I will be left alone from now on. I need to escape.
