Chapter 4
Rayne’s cooking was delicious, especially with a bit of blood added. She had cooked pancakes and bacon. I had always liked her cooking.
After eating breakfast the five of us went into the living room. Skye and I were sitting on the “love” seat. Rayne was on the couch with Kazor across from her in a chair. Mik was lying on a small pillow on the couch next to Rayne.
“Ah… ‘T was a fine breakfast. Great food… um… Rayne, that right?” Mik said happily. He sounded as if he was purring but it was much softer than a cat’s purr.
“Well, thank you,” Rayne answered, smiling.
“Now, Mik, you wouldn’t be hittin’ on my girl by any chance, eh?” Kazor suddenly said. I looked over to Rayne and saw her blushing.
“Me? Nah you must be talkin’ ‘bout another Mik. This one would never hit on your girl. No siree!” Kazor laughed and winked at Rayne.
“So… How did you meet Kazor and Mik?” I asked Skye.
“Ah, really wan’ ‘a know?” he smiled.
“Yeah, why not?”
“Yeah, tell ‘em how’s we’s met!” Mik said enthusiastically. Kazor kept quiet.
“Okay… Well,” he sat up on the edge of the “love seat”. All our attention was towards him. “When you left, Starre, I went searching for you. I had no idea where you were, but I knew you were alive. The Blue Rose I had hadn’t died.”
“Ahem, we’s already know that part! C’mon get ta tha grrr! An’ tha slash! An’ an’… Oof1” Mik interrupted and jumped up apparently trying to act out what had happed. Instead he fell back down.
“Well hold on there! I’m getting to it,” Skye continued after we stopped laughing at Mik. Everyone was silent except Skye. “I went all over the world and of course I had to fight. All those beasts out there, never know what you’d run into. If I didn’t all them creatures would have stripped my bones of meat. So I taught myself to fight, bought me a sword with all the money I had. Then I was broke. That’s when I realized I would need a lot more money to continue my journey. Then I found Kazor in a town up North. He helped people from all those creatures and got paid for it. He went all around the world and did that. So I asked him if I could join with him but he said no. Then this vampire came after him,” he paused to take a breath, “and I happened to be near by. Well he thought he could kill this vampire and told me to go away when I first found them. Of course, I didn’t go away. I hid and watched near by. Neither of them knew I was there. Then the vampire had him cornered and had knocked the weapon out of his hand. The vampire had already bitten his neck, and was about to change him. I realized what was happening so I took my silver sword and ran from behind the vampire, stabbed him in the back through its heart, and then I twisted the sword and destroyed its heart. After that, Kazor let me join, and we became friends.”
“Yeah, weren’t for him I wouldn’t be here t’ day. Then he told me he was lookin’ for you so I decided I would help him, and now here we are,” Kazor said.
“Goodness…” said Rayne. “So how did you become a Halfling then?”
“Ah… Yeah, that vamp that he saved me from did that. If Skye hadn’t killed him, I’d be a full vampire, but he killed him just in time that I was only half.”
“I see,” said Rayne. “How interesting…”
“Hey, what about me?!” Mik burst out. “I wan’ ‘a hear ‘bout me, not half breed over there!”
“Settle down, I’m getting to you,” Skye said taking a sip of tea. “Well, Mik was an orphan. I found him in the South. He’s a Mikau and didn’t have a name, so I named him Mik. Mikau are really rare creature. He carries my weapons for me. When I found him, he was just a baby and couldn’t defend for him self. So I decided to take him with me. Kazor didn’t like that idea, but I told him it would be okay. Mikau can be really fierce if they want too, but Mik he’s tame. Mikau get to be the size of a lion, but as you can see Mik is still a young one.”
“Tha’s it?” Mik said sadly. “No long story?”
“Yup,” Skye laughed.
“Glad I asked,” I smiled. I
now had both of my best friends back along with two new ones. Nothing would
take them from me now.
