Chereads / The Shadow Stone: Salvation / Chapter 7 - The Plan

Chapter 7 - The Plan

Theo and Baskia entered into the dining hall, filled with as many breakfast foods as any person can think of.

Theo. "Have a seat anywhere you wish."

Everyone sat down in their seats. Mainly Theo next to Veter and Baskia next to Raion.

Veter smiles at Raion "I highly suggest you trying the deep-fried eggs. They're splendid."

Raion "Yeah thanks Veter I'll try them right now"

Veter "Tell me what you think?"

Raion takes a bite out of his deep-fried egg while Veter rests his hands on his chin and stares admirably.

Veter "So what's your verdict? Delicious right"

Raion "Delicious..?" looks down at his plate and begins to smirks "Delicious doesn't describe it. It's magnificent, wonderful like all my taste buds are having a party! I love it." Raion starts gleaming from ear to ear.

Theo looks over at Baskia. "Is he always like this?"

Baskia has a look of dissatisfaction on his face "Sadly yes."

Baskia "So, Theo have you any news on what we are going to do on retrieving Fourth?"

Theo "Well Veter here and I have been discussing the matter."

Baskia "And what have you've come to?"

Theo "It is in our best interest to just try and move on from it."

Raion started to get incredibly angry and slams his fork on his plate nearly breaking it. " Sorry did I just here you say move on from it?"

Baskia "Raion calm down I said I'd handle this remember?"

Raion tightens his grip on the table and gives Baskia a look that nearly startled him. "You better Baskia."

Baskia thinks "I've never seen him like this."

Baskia looks over at Veter and he can tell that Theo was mainly behind the whole thing.

Baskia "I'm sure you'd like to rethink this now?"

Theo "I've... I mean we've made up our minds"

Baskia "Ahh that's right you decided to help us in searching for Fourth. You were just going to discuss our plans of action."

Theo "Ohh yes silly me what was I thinking. Veter please tell them what we were going to suggest."

Veter slightly confused by what was going on caught the glance off Baskia. Though he didn't know what happened he started to devise a plan. "Oh I um well we were thinking of taking the Kuni through the canal on the east side of the island. But first, we needed to find Shiri."

"I can't believe I just though off all that right now!" thought Veter.

Baskia "Shiri who is she?"

Veter "You'll find out as soon as we arrive."

Raion "And when will that be?"

Veter "There's unfortunately a few things I have to do before hand. It might take a few days before we can head out."

Raion" You're serious?! I can't wait that long!"

Baskia "Raion I'm sure everything will be fine with Fourth. Trust me."

Raion "I just hate thinking that he's alone somewhere with out anyone to protect him. "

Baskia"I don't think we have to worry about him needing protection. Let's just wait for Veter to take us. He seems to be the only one who can at this time."

The days had slowly passed for Raion and Veter, awaiting the day that they would leave. That day had finally came.

Raion "We have been walking for ages! Are we there yet?"

Baskia "We have only been walking for about an hour now.."

Raion "Well my feet hurt and I'm hungry."

Baskia "We just ate an hour ago!"

Veter "These two are something else." Thought Veter.

Raion whispers to Baskia "Why are we letting Theo come with us?"

Baskia "Well because we can't make it seem like things are different than they already are."

Raion "But they are different."

Baskia "Yes but he doesn't know that."

Theo "Do you think this plan will work Veter?"

Veter "To be honest I'm not entirely sure."

Theo "Why do you say that?"

Veter "Well, I never did this before so I can't say. But if we don't try it we will never know."

Raion "Baskia?"

Baskia "Yes Raion?"

Raion "I like veter."

Baskia "I do to Raion."
