"you go to sleep i will stay awake for a little more" blake told faes who was now carrying sleeping sky as it was getting late while they were eating and were lost in their own thoughts.
faes nodded "you should go to sleep too don't stay awake late, it wont be good for your health" faes said as she went in the tent blake prepared for her.
there was just a sleeping bag big enough for both her and sky to fit into along with some more snacks. faes was going to sleep here in case blake decided to check on them later in night. she didn't want blake to freak out when he didn't find them if they vanished in mystic fog castle, and also faes didn't want Blake to know anything about the space.
she told aiden and sky about it after all this time and she barely knew blake so she wasn't going to tell him all her secrets yet.
faes placed her weapons near her and got in the sleeping bag which was similar to one back on earth. soon she too went to sleep with sky close to her.
blake outside was lost in thoughts of aiden. he cant accept that his uncle was dead now. he was excited that he was finally going to meet aiden in real after all this time but now? he was never going to meet his uncle again. when aiden called him he sounded sick and that had made him worried. he had a bad feeling when aiden gave him an address and told him to come there as soon as possible. it was a cave's address and was way deeper in the forest.
aiden had just voice called him instead of a video call probably hiding the fact that he was dying. he was never going to meet uncle aiden again, never play pranks on people with him. aiden had also told him that he would get a letter from faes when he meets her, he should have understood something was wrong! if he had known he would have used his dragon form to get to the place in much faster pace. if he would have come earlier there was a chance that he could have met aiden one last time!
now his uncle king aiden was dead leaving his two daughters in his care. aiden trusted him enough to leave faes and sky to him and hence he would take care of them!
a tear fell from blake's eyes followed by others as he gazed at the night sky.
.....
The next day faes woken up by movement and crying outside the tent, she looked around and didn't found sky near her. panicked faes took her weapons and went out looking around. soon she relaxed when her eyes found sky with blake, sky was crying while blake was panicking trying to stop her crying. faes went to where they were as blake noticed her and his face revealed that he wanted her help.
"what happened why is sky crying?" faes asked as blake handed sky to her, as sky began crying harder after seeing faes wanting to get to faes.
"i don't know i came to check on you after waking up and she woke up from the sound. after that i took her out as to not disturb you as you were sleeping quite soundly. we played and then she began crying. i don't know what happened!" blake told faes. sky was watching faes with moist eyes crying but faes felt that sky was probably hungry.
"what time is it?" faes asked blake
"its about ten in the morning" blake replied as faes eyes widened. she had slept too long and only she knew how to prepare sky's milk. no wonder she was hungry!
"shhh! baby don't cry i will get you your milk" faes cooed and soon sky stopped crying but she didn't left faes and was still watching her with big eyes making her sigh.
"i didn't thought that she would be hungry! oh dear!" blake hit his own head. he was still sad but he had his cry last night.
"don't worry i will feed her and get her ready for the day" faes said to blake who nodded
"i will prepare breakfast for both of us until then" blake told faes as he ran in the forest to hunt something for faes and himself. once he was out of sight faes went inside the tent and entered mystic fog castle only to be engulfed by a hug once she appeared in front of the castle. faes winced as her wound that was still sore was pressed 'its good that at least the bone had healed and was just sore' the person who was hugging her let go once she winced and faes not sure what happened as she looked up at kailial who was watching her with concerned eyes.
"you didn't returned yesterday night and i was so worried. i even tried to contact you but you didn't replied at all! what happed are you injured?" kailial asked
"i am fine just a little sore from the fight with a bear. we met with brother blake so i had to stay outside. i came to get sky's milk for dinner but i didn't found you at that time and i probably didn't replied because i was asleep?" faes replied as she began walking inside with kailial at her side.
"that's good i will prepare the breakfast for you till you get sky her milk" kailial said
faes turned to him feeling bad for him as she had to decline his offer.
"sorry lord kailial, not to sound disrespectful but brother blake is preparing both his and mine breakfast. he don't know about you or this mystic fog castle" faes told him as she let sky sit on her other shoulder which was fine and began preparing her milk.
she saw kailial's sad expression and didn't know what to do. she had never cheered up someone before and she was feeling bad because of it!
but just as she gave sky her milk and sky began drinking faes turned to kailial again sensing that he wanted to say something but wasnt.
"you can speak whatever you want lord kailial" faes said and crossed her arms waiting for him
"call me kai" he replied making faes raise an eyebrow. he wanted to say that?
"if you call me kai i would forgive you for declining my cooked food" kailial said. faes smiled at him being all flustered and nervous. she was actually amused watching him but as she didn't had much time she didnt tease him.
"fine but we probably wont be able to eat your cooked food for a long time, as we are going to the capital city of reptiliance and there we would be living in the palace" faes cleared as she didn't wanted kai to feel down again.
"don't worry until you can eat my cooked food again i would learn how to cook different dishes and do my research, there are lots of books in the library on cooking" kai said smiling which seem to have hypnoticed faes. his smile and his voice was really so captivating that she can't take her eyes away from him.
kai noted that faes was spacing out and grinned. he liked the effect he had on faes but she was still a ten year old in this world, he would have to wait for her to grow up and collect all his soul fragments getting them back to his original body before telling her the truth.
kai went to faes and flicked her forehead bringing her back to reality and watched how she turned red from embarrassment.
"your brother will be waiting for you if you don't hurry" kai reminded faes and her eyes widened.
'i forgot about that totally!'
faes turned to sky who had finished her milk and picked her up.
"we need to get ready fast otherwise brother blake would be worried!"
faes ran upstairs followed by kailial's laugh.
blake caught a goose and was finishing cooking it when faes came out of her tent. he was about to go and call her but as he saw her coming out along with sky he smiled at them. they looked clean as if they took a bath but again girls always looked good and his sisters were more beautiful than others.
"i cooked breakfast for us come on eat while its still hot, after that we will leave to the nearest village" blake said
faes nodded relieved that blake was not suspicious as she sat down and began eating.
