After Anarky was done eating, Aki led him out into a garden. All this time he had no choice but to accept his new life, he had no choice. He followed her into what she called a garden but was more of a labyrinth, they got to the center of the garden. In the center he could clearly see the building and its was huge!. Anyone would have considered it a palace instead of a manor
They sat down on a bench near the center by a fountain in the center. Anarky couldn't help but ask the question that came to his mind ever since he first saw her why do you have four fingers. She answered by asking him why do you have five.
This whole time he had been trying so hard to socialize with her bit she was to childish and complicated. He decided to bombard her with questions thinking she would at least answer some and she did. He learn that the world he was in was like some kind of fairytale land with mythical creatures,beasts,angels,demons,curses and kingdoms.
She even told him more than he had asked for, she mentioned that she was a being called a Tronimite . She said that he was a being that had gone extinct a long time ago
they were called humans,she said they were wiped out by a plague that only affected their species. Finding out that he was the last of his kind did not shock him as she had expected.
After talking for some time, a man wearing only a chest piece walked up to them. He looked like a man but with hind legs like a horse and fur all over his body and he had antlers. She introduced Anarky to him,his name was Thealis and he was a chimaera
,a species of humanoid beast. He was Aki's
Bodyguard and he had been since she learnt to walk matter of fact he taught her to walk. With the strength she had he didn't think she needs a bodyguard but what did he know.
Thealis kept on staring at Anarky then Aki asked him Is he falling in love with him. He said its not that its just I've not seen a human
ever since they tried to kill all the chimaera and faced extinction. He used to hold a slight grudge against them since they killed his family when he was young but looking at Anarky now he seemed harmless
Thealis asked about Lord Xexeb's whereabouts and took his leave.Anarky then asked why does everyone call you my princess?. She answered saying they are calling me what I am. He asked then why do they call your dad my Lord because he likes my lord more than my king Aki said. He is the king of the Tronimites. So when will you take me to meet your mom Anarky asked you should have said so earlier
She got up and stretched her hand and said follow me, he grabbed her hand and did this time don't run she just nodded in reply. They walked through the maize until they got to the
a part of it where in the middle stood a statue
it was a woman who shared a striking resemblance to Aki. Aki walked up to the statue and said mom this is Anarky I mean a second Anarky. Anarky now understood everything why she acted childish she was traumatized. He didn't want to hurt her feelings so he walked up to the statue and said hi, Aki smiled at him.
Then the ground started to shake a little a the statue stretched and yawned. It bent down a little and said hi second Anarky,I'm Tabitha Aki's mom's statue. I'm not her real mom her mom is buried under me I just contain her essence so I act like her and think like her and I know her memories. I also share a link with her in the spiritual veil. Anarky had falling on the ground when she stretched herself ,Tabitha's statue then stretched two of her fingers out he held onto it and got up. Tabitha can you send a message to my mom telling her I said hi,I will. By now the sun had set and it was getting dark. They decided to head back into the manor, Aki then said this is the fun part Anarky asked what is. See it is easy getting in the maze but hard getting out.
He didn't panic at all he just stood there laughing.
They decided to he'd back to the center of the labyrinth, when they got there it was dark. Anarky said he couldn't even tell where they were going then Aki said oh I forgot then lie a switch had been flicked the markings on her forehead and arms began glowing brightly
She asked is this enough with some new found hope they continued walking after an hour of walking he said if you are the princess then why haven't they sent a search party after you that is because a get lost a lot and also you a here. What is that suppose to mean?. She then ruffled his her and said never mind my friend nevermind. He then gave up and lay on the floor saying I might as well lie here and die.
Aki then laughed and lay by his side with her head on his stomach. They were looking up at the stars then she said aren't they beautiful he didn't answer. He than said what is my reason for existence, Aki tilted her head slightly and looked at him. Then he said don't answer that it rhetorical. She still did and said you are a human. He still said what am I doing here.
She answered saying you are here to keep me company. She then got up and said hold on to my waist tightly.
Aki then lunged down and jumped. He closed his his eyes,he felt his feet lift of the ground he didn't open his eyes till he felt them touch the ground again then he opened his eyes. They were now in front of the manor he decided not to ask how. You are more like a pet
