The Elemental Book

Chapter Fourteen

"Here's the slop we eat for breakfast in fantasyland." George said into camera, using his spoon to play with the goop in front of him.

I don't think we can classify what's in front of us right now as food, but to the people here it was. It was a dull green in colour and it didn't look appetizing at all. The guardians provided us with it.

Jenny was putting together a video of our vacation with our phones. Seeing as we have nowhere to charge them, it'll be short lived.

We didn't get to go sight seeing yesterday so just stayed in the cottage which may I add has only two bedrooms. So guess how it was shared.

"Let's just shovel it down our throats quickly," I suggested. "Maybe hold our breaths too." I added.

We all looked down at our plates for a while, contemplating on whether to just skip the most important meal of the day. But I'm pretty sure the guardians wouldn't be too pleased, seeing as we needed energy for our training.

"Guys, I think I just saw it move!" Isabel said inching back in her seat. We all cautiously inched back too.

"Enough of this." Jacky said. "Tom let's show them how its done." He said rubbing his hands together with a look of sheer determination or I thought it was.

Tom raised his brow at this but nodded, looking down at his plate of goo and gulped.

They both picked up their spoons filled it with the stuff, then looked at each other across the table. Slowly but surely the spoons made a journey to their mouths. Jenny was filming the whole thing. They both shut their eyes and counted to five.

Tom immediately slammed the spoon into his mouth,while Jacky...let's just say he had other ideas. He couldn't go through with it.

We had to stiffle a laugh cause of the look on Tom's face when he saw Jacky didn't go through with his own plan.

"Dude, you should know me by now." Jacky told Tom. "Now how is it?"

Tom glared at him but still swallowed. "Fine. Just fine." He said curtly with a mischievous smile and began to eat.

Was he joking around or just trying to get in our heads.

We were getting our outfits now and I was still hungry.

Breakfast didn't go so well. I wonder how Tom managed to eat all that...stuff up. We each took a spoon and couldn't take anymore.

We were in the town now, at a little store that sold clothing. The guardians had informed them of our visit.

A pretty elf manned the counter. Elves had pointy ears, right?. Anyway she looked a little above our age.

"You must be the elementals." She gushed. "I'm really honored to have you in this shop."

"The pleasures ours...Gwen." Jacky grinned,winking at her. He had noticed the name tag she had on.

Gwen blushed furiously and cleared her throat. "Well...um, the guardians had said to get you clothes you could be able to fight in, so that means something flexible and unrestrictive." She said coming out from behind the counter and leading us out back into what looked like a storage room. There were clothes of different colors everywhere. They all had that fighting vibe, if that's a thing.

"Take your pick." She said, leaving us and going back to the front desk.

We were in the shop for over forty five minutes and I was still empty handed. The boys had found their outfits already and were now waiting outside. Jenny and Isabel were still checking out what the shop had but had found their warrior wear.
