"Why don't you eat meat?" Roger asked curiously.
"Because I don't want to…."
"[Stupefied]… that's it?"
"Why not…"
"And what if you had to eat it?"
"If there is a situation for survival… like I won't be able to survive if I don't eat meat, that time I will. But if there is no need to adjust then I won't…"
"Wow you really are a stubborn one!"
" Why not?"
"Thank you for waiting. Here is your food…" the waitress served us the food and went back.
The food was looking delicious…. Pistachio Pasta, Honey-Veggie Wraps, Honey Ice-cream with Pancakes and much more. We just dug into it and it furiously as if we didn't had any food for many days. Well it was almost night, so maybe we were too hungry.
"Fuuuuu, it was awesome!" Roger relaxed.
Moving out we were back on our track.
"Hey, do you have to walk like this the full way?"
"Nope." Roger replied and just moved ahead.
After walking a distance, we were at the end of the high Cliff which was crowded with lot of travellers.
"Don't tell me…. it's a hot air balloon????"
"Half Wrong and half correct." Roger replied.
"What type of answer is this?"
"Okay okay! Let me explain." Fiona interrupted, "They are fruits of Dandelion flower. You must know it, as they fly off with the wind… and that is a Crocus flower which is a cup shaped flower which is attached at the bottom of the Dandelion pappus, which forms like a Natural Air Balloon…. Tada..!"
"This is crazy! This place is awesome! The flower I saw last time would fit into my fist but now, look at its amazing size! It's really awesome…."
Roger and Fiona chuckled.
"Hey kid, relax. There is much more to see ahead. So let us travel in the air now."
Fiona and Rodger dragged me towards it.
"But how do they control the directions Roger?"
"look…"
The Dandelion Transport or the Natural Air Balloon was attached to a Firefly, which was a huge one, took the passengers to the desired destination. It was beyond AMAZING!..... FANTABULOUS !!!!!... it was….. I mean I was just speechless….
"But the Fireflies are only used for night. In the morning it is controlled by the other insects." Roger explained.
We stood in the line, waiting for turn and eventually got into this amazing transport.
The cliff was aside a big Valley and a long river flowing through it. The water was sparkling in the moonlight. The Fireflies flying above it, reflected a mixed effect on the river. The cold breeze of the wind, flowing across the soothing atmosphere and the light emitting from the Fireflies where a great experience.
"This is this an amazing experience. I would have never experienced this if I hadn't came here… I wish Mom and Dad could see this…. "
[Silence]
Roger and Fiona laid their hands on my back and give me a side hug, assuring me.
"But still I got here some new friends here, showing me this great new world."
They both had a big smile on their proud faces and like this we had reached our destination.
There was a big stone Gate between two huge mountains. It was lighten up by the moonlight reflecting from various stone around it and the gate itself was surrounded by large number of trees. The stone Gate had a passage above it. Some people were standing there…. must be guards….. One of them started waving his hand vigorously with happiness….. just like a FOOL…..
("What is wrong with this idiot! He is going to embarrass himself and even me to the death…") Roger murmured to himself internally.
We landed near the gate while the firefly went back to the Cliff.
"Ariya, look, the moonlight reflected through the long slender scope on this stone and then reflected through the adjoining ones, creates this immense light effect." explained Fiona.
Meanwhile the Gates opened up and a handsome dude walk towards us with a bright smile on his face….. to be more precise it was a foolish smile.
("Don't tell me now….. he was the person waving his hand?!")
He was a tall handsome man in his 20's, with clear green eyes and brown hair, with the mainly body. He wore a high neck shirt with a Tie and half coat. The trousers complemented his Tie and the big overcoat with some natural patterns in a simplistic form. There were some stones which reflected green lights, attached to his cloths. He was wearing an earring in his one war which had a leaf shape and a stone attached in the middle. He was very impressive in every way.
He walked near Roger with the big smile and like a very old buddy, he hug him mischievously. Then, obviously, his eyes sparkled as he looked at me….. [awkward smile]… yup.. it was damn weird… He just came to me and hugged me very joyously.
" WELCOME BACK ARIYA! I was waiting for you… did you miss me??.. well I missed you a lot!.... you made me feel very lonely dear…you don't know how much pain I have endured till now…. Blah…. Blah…. Blah…" he was blabbing melodramatically and non-stop.
Without any intention of releasing me, he stilled hugged me. Fiona was irritated. She picked him away, grabbing his collar.
"You Punk! what do you think you are doing?"
"[teary] I am happy Fiona… I met her after a long time…. it is that… I am emotional…. Blah… blah…. Blah…. Blah… [blabbing]."
It was quite HILARIOUS hearing him. He was just like a small puppy or more like a Melodramatic puppy….. [Snicker] Even though Fiona was scolding him out, he was continuing with his talk…..
Roger seemed to enjoy it first, but eventually got irritated and he jumped into their meaningless fight.
"Will you both behave now or should I punish you like last time?"
Both of them where petrified from Rogers statement.
("what type of punishment would they both be afraid of?")
The situation was hilarious as if I am looking at the father scolding is mischievous children.
But most interesting thing was that, Fiona was a completely different person here then she was in Ignis city. It was damn admiring! She was just like a Cat and the handsome guy was just like a puppy. Roger looked towards me and spoke,
" Ariya, he is the person we are looking for. KING LUPA."
(" whaaaaaaat?")
