Chapter 5 - No Dessert For Me

Mira ate at a fast but not quite unproper pace.

She soon had finished her dinner, leaving only a few grains of rice left here and their on her dinner plate.

Looking to her side at her sister maynett, she hadn't even finished half of the food on her plate.

Blinking a few times to get herself to refocus on the other things going on around her, before looking to where her maid Grena was standing off to the side behind where she was currently seated.

After taking a cursory glance, Mira cleared her throat very lightly, causing Mori beside her to drop the colslaugh he had been eating off his spoon and back onto his almost empty plate.

Looking towards her mother, Mira asked "Mother may I be excused, I have already finished my meal and am to full for desert."

Mira's mother grimaced for a fraction of a second before slowly finishing the food she currently had in her mouth before saying " Alright, dont forget to wash your face before bed. Oh, and also and put on the facial masks and apply the premium lotion I bought for you the other day. A woman must take care of her skin afterall."

All the males seated at the table made slightly varying befuddled faces, before deciding they shouldn't care about what the women talked about. That is, all of them except Mori.

Mori stared at Miras face rather hard for the remainder of her being seated, which lasted only about a minute before her maid Grenda came over to wheel her away.

Miras mother finally noticed her weird, or rather weirdest step-son staring at Mira.

Mori looked towards the head of the table where his father was seated, and after contemplating something for abit, stood up and asked his father for permission to retire for the night as well. "Father I am full, may I retire for the night aswell

Abe, his father was tired from a day long conference call at work today so he just nonchalantly waved his hand before saying "Your excuses, make sure to finish your studies before bedtime."

After getting up Mori fast-walked up the stairs to then disappear into his bedroom.

Mira finally reached the top floor of their house, where her room was un-conveniently located for those in the business of currently being a parapaligic.

Nodding her head in the direction of her bedroom, Mira told Grena that she could handle wheeling herself to her own room and getting our of the chair by herself.

A little crease appeared in Grenas forehead appeared as if she was displeased and was about to refuse Miras request, so for extra measure Mira added on "Please, I just want to rest and spend some time to myself."

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Grena begrudgingly agreed to her request but added "Okay but press your beeper if you need to get out of bed, or need anything, okay?"

"Alright I'll keep it in mind, have a pleasant night." Mira said as she began to wheel herself to her bedroom door before consequently turning the knob to open the door, and leisurely wheeling herself in before turning the wheelchair just so, so she could quietly close the door behind her.

Letting out a soft sigh after closing her door, she rolled herself over to the side of her bed. She then proceeded to get out of her wheelchair while enduring a great deal of pain as little sweat droplets began to form on her pale white forehead.

Mira pushed her wheelchair a little bit away from her bed before fumbling into her pale pink and white laced duvet.

While reaching over to her nightstand to pickup her dive headset, she began wondering if she should really get back on that game.

She didn't really have anything else to do...

Looking one last time at her Careldo Nessi soccer poster, Mira proceeds to put on her dive headset.

[Load Up Last Game?]

Mira selects [Yes].

[Booting up Game, would you like to watch a promotional video of this game while it loads your data?]

"Sure." Mira answers verbally this time as she lays down on her bed to get into the mood.

[Looking for a second life? No, a new life? Look no further! Build up your skills, socialize, create lasting memories, and begin your new life!]

Mira lay in bed as she watched the scene before her change to a beautiful waterfall backdrop surrounded by a lush forest full of elms and oaks.

A fairy flew out from the mist located just below the waterfall and cast a dazzling spell with its watery and wispy looking little hands.

A large horse made of water appeared, before it grew wings made of ice that looked like that of an Angel's, but sharper.

Shrill laughter sounded from the somewhere in the trees.

A hunched over humanoid jumped out from behind the characters POV and landed in front of her. Green skin the color of an emerald shiner with a metallic luster, garbed in a archaic looking Roman style red robe.

"Will you conquer nature, master it, or surrender to it?"

The creature cackled with mirth that could be seen in its practically oozing out of its eyes.

[Logging in complete. Proceed towards adventure.]
