Chapter 13 - Coping

Finyal and Kyala walked out of the room escorted by guards to the surface. Walking to the surface the sunlight stung their eyes, and they had to blick a few time's to adjust. Finyal inclined his head to the guard to thank him and he lead Kyala further into the village.

Kyala seen that there was snow on the ground already. Man its been like 5 to 6 months since we've been gone dad. Yeah I know sweetie. but I need you to keep your mind focused right now okay. But dad it's freezing out you know I'm only wearing my summer uniform right. Finyal stops and turns around facing his daughter then he removes his old fur cloak and puts it around her. There you are sweetie that well help you focus better, now fallow me we're going to see if your grandparents are still around.

What grandparents! This is the first time I'm finding out that father has living parents, okay maybe there alive from what he said just now, but still he could have...well no never mind.

I fallow father to a far line of houses or cottages I should say, and come up to one with green like wood shingles. "Okay sweetie wait right here". I stood about three feet away from him while he knocked on the door like the insane man I know him to be.

Okay that's enough don't you get tired of...we heard through the door just before the man opened it. OH MY GOD FINYAL! Is it really you or am I seeing things again? Again you missed me that much I'm touched father. Yeah touched in the head, the man busted out laughing. Hahahaha! and I snickered loudly behind father and my supposed grandfather.

The man that's to be my grandfather looks behind father and says, and who might this be? Father half turns and looks at me with a small smile, then turns back to my grandfather, "well she's your granddaughter". Honey get up out of the seller Finyal brought someone you should definitely come see. What! It better be what I'm thinking. Nope definitely not what your thinking! A loud but low growl was heard then a woman appeared, she's to be my grandmother, but she was trying to strangle him. Grandfather put both of his hands on either of grandmother's shoulders shook her a little then lifted her head to my direction. OH MY GOD! She's soo beautiful oooohh, please be my granddaughter! She sprang on me in seconds, oooh so cute and you are.... she waited excitedly for my response. Hahaha, I am you're granddaughter and my name is Kyala, and I'm just as surprised about you as you are about me.

Finyal how could you, I mean seriously you disappeared for years, and don't even say anything about finding you mate, or anything and then years later you come home with a PUP! Ha-hehe, father scratches the back of his head, well now that's a little long, so um could we come in, so we can talk about it by the heath. Oh yes of course; grandmother pulls my arm forwards into the cottage while pushing my father from behind. Now sit both of you and you Finyal are going to explain. While father explained everything to my grandparents, grandma was cooking something that had my stomach growling like that smilodon tiger. Okay so you went through the gods light gate in the forest and it took you nine hundred years into the future?. Leading you to find your other half, but what I don't understand is how you were gone for nineteen years and your daughter is only sixteen, grandfather says questionly?

I jumped in, what father is trying so hard not to say is that mom had to teach him how to live in the future so he wouldn't look out of place.

What does that mean my dear child? Well grandfather many thing's change in the nine hundred years that the future isn't quite what you'd think it to be. Say like your clothes to my clothes, my clothes look weird to right. Well yes?... Okay so, in the future they created a mechanism that you're able to waive wool or cotton into large spools, so you can sew them into shirts, pants, socks, and undergarments. Sweetie furs and leathers keep you warm during the cold months. That's what wool is for, you get it by shearing the sheep. What is shearing child?

It took Kyala a couple of hours to explain to her grandparents what shearing was and how to do it, she even offered to show them, but it didn't seem like they were to interested. Once Kyala exhausted her options her father Finyal piped in. " You know mother why don't you fix up one of your older sets that you wanted to hand down."

That sounds like the perfect idea, how hungry is everyone? A chicken night or a roast night your choice. Roast! Finyal and his father chime, roast it is then Kyala would you like to help? Sure. -...‐

Oh yeah, of course I'd love to help you grandmother, and that seemed to put Kyala's grandmother in a better mood. Who knew having a roast consisted of going outside and killing the biggest pig >O<. Like gran just went up and stabed the poor thing and then asked me to carry it to the shed so we could dress it up. I set the hog down on a work table that gran told me so that she could show me the right way to butcher the hog as she's been calling it. She hand me a knife and then comes behind me and takes my hand and starts showing by doing types of examples. Gran keeps telling me in order to eat the food provided we first must respect it and thank it for all it gives in return; which is nice and everything but I still can get my stomach to stop flipping. All the guts that are inedible like the blader and stomach and any part of the intestinal track that has any of the bacteria. Gran cuts and removes the legs and hangs them, she says they need to dry some so we can make bacon with it, that sounds good, oh my stomach settled.
