Chapter 10 - Sleepyhead's life belongs to his 'soulmate' ?!

The life you live is given by the almighty and is deemed to be taken by him solely in this lifetime, even if you be Gilgamesh but the end lies in the coffin, right?

*present time, Community hall*

"Disgust--Abe"

"Sleep--- Abe"

"Abe"

"Ooze"

"Menick!! "

The whole community hall was in rustles, everyone was skimming around hustling-bustling throughout drama items (Mask, costume basket, a bundle of sheets, and thick wool clothes, etc) crying at the highest notes of their pitch to find a person whom they all know by the name of 'Sleepyhead'

But...

"Pisss, Do you know how does this 'Abe' guy look like? " the afro head guy very narrowly whispered asking the boy who was running his hands mindlessly into the costume basket as he answered continuing his work with full concentration-

"I just recognize him by his obnoxious snoring only, rest ever I saw he was lying with his head down"

"Ha! That's true" The afro guy chuckled and many around him who are just moving randomly like electrons trying to find an individual whom they only saw dozing like nothing, but still darted at that afro guy as if they were offended, all for the fantasy story that was going on around of a soulmate and a hidden joker,

Wow, what an anecdote?!

Seared by those stringent eyes surrounding him, the Afro guy embarrassed joined into the madness scorching the dumps of costumes that smelled like naphthalene balls which were rarely worn by the students,

"Outside is hell inside is devil's den" The afro guy pitched his nose and commented, although beside him who stand that boy abruptly leaned low with an irregular cardiac cycle as if he was a thief and he had caught the eyes of a cop, his face was full of anxiety but then his face turns grinning and started coughing in laughter,

*Cough*

"Hey bro, did you take too much naphthalene into your lungs? " the afro guy started rubbing that brown-skinned boy's back with concern although, that boy smirk more and let out-

"I never knew the devil was a blonde Pomeranian"

Confused by the context, the afro guy turned his head to look at what was so funny,

"Blonde Pomera--?"

And,

The goddess of beauty enclosed into a little vessel of a female figure, stood in the exterior corner of the hall sniffing around with her little pointed nose like a little puppy crawling on her knees around,

"Ha!!! Ha!!! " the afro guy started to laugh as he was under Pseudobulbar effects!

"Shut up! " the other boy whispered, bringing him back to his senses- everyone else was giggling at his from the corner of their eyes as if saying in unison-

'I'm gonna slice ur tongue '

And he like a helpless lamb in the bunch of hyenas, peeked with his beseech gaze at the boy next to him-

'Bro you gotta help m--'

But,

The boy undifferentiated, without glimpsing, was busy picking costumes and shaking them- as if finding something,

'I have to find a missing person

On the other hand,

'Oh, she's such a pooch, I want to pet her so badly! '

Through the bunch of people, that puffy guy stood biting his lower lip with his upper jaw making the castle of winds inside his head,

However, interrupting the boy with the black cap pat the daydreamer's shoulder asking with a very disdain look-

"Are you ravenous that you are going to eat yourself now? "

"Oh, I am ravenous for that mouthwatering... golden dish" he answered with his drooling mouth,

"Oh...( a smile came to the black cap's pale face as he removed his hat from his head) then go on and try your best to feed yourself that 'golden dish' "The puffy guy was stunned, still doubting it was his nerd friend who was giving him such bold advice?!

Until the guy added-

"I don't know rest but the dish will serve your blubber flesh to the vultures for sure... So be careful blubber!"

And with a final pat on Fluffy's healthy shoulder, he left waving his hand teasingly like he did nothing wrong but...

' I'm such a debauchee! ' the fluffy guy hit his blubbered hand to his thick skull cursing himself and turned his back to that golden dish,

However, she continues her rounds of the community hall until'

"Here..." she declared clutching the corner of the dark chocolate curtain which hung onto the hall's rare end within her fist, grabbing everyone's mixed attention in one circle as she continue-

"It's the same scent from that political lab- so it must be joker but it also has a strong aroma of... burnt ebony tree-"

"Burnt Ebony tree has a different fragrance from an ordinary tree?! I thought all burn same with acrid smell!" the girl with purple hair questioned in curiosity,

But...

"Every wood has a unique odor" the principal sir answered as he came from between the crowd, like an enlightened gentleman!

"but there is no ebony in this range of Sherinin city, and about burning, why would someone burn such a valuable tree and bring its ashes to community hall? That doesn't make any sense"

Abruptly, the goddess turned her head full of blonde hair to face the crowd which has gathered around her as she commence with uttermost seriousness, lost in her thoughts-

"Because like trees magic has distinct scents too"

"What?!" the baffled principal Matthew asked

"It's not the aura of ash, it's the pure scent- a magical spell," she said very confidently glancing straight through her glossy eyes into his wrinkled multiple red veins that were pooling into his eyes that were done with patience already!

"Oh so now, we have to fight witches? Wizard? Another Hogwarts?! Just tell me- where is my nephew?! " the principal cried losing his cool, to which she cracked up showing her teeth shining as diamonds-

"Then how come your nephew just vanished from a hall filled with people? And a girl came in armor to save him and call herself his soulmate, who has vanished too? Either your nephew and that girl are a friction or you have just kept the sphere of your thinking restricted! Choice yourself!"

The hall grew speechless and breathless only the whimpering wind outside was greatly audible as if a storm was rising inside itself,

" 'cause, I have, I will do what I am commanded to!"

She swiftly turned herself, striping her spindle eyes from that old man's wet glittering brown eyes, cold emotionlessly towards the fluffy curtains and suddenly, hauled the curtain's corner with an extensive force as if draining her outrage there, as the gigantic curtain started to tremble down like the whole atmosphere was coming down,

That everyone around backed up their feet in fear to suffocate under that thick dark red curtain but...

she, the claimed true soulmate of Joker, closed her eyes with the same calming gravity on her face,

" Is she mad or something? " the queen looked puzzled around to ask the question but everyone was as puzzled as her but was more reluctant to help than to watch the scene!

"Crin----" the queen struggled out of the thick crowd that has gone enchanted from her calmness or madness, who knows, but, King grabbed her mouth under his palm and said in a hush sound- "Lena, look carefully..."

The tranquility in which the girl was in, she rose and held her both hands crossed onto her chest like she was saying 'Hail Wakanda' but then she unfurled her fist in a flash, drawing a mudra ranging from one shoulder to another shoulder, and started to chant from her cherry lips-

"It's I who call you, open the route where ebony leads, and may all the horizon meet"

Abruptly,

*The bulb started to flicker and the growling of wind was lofty that it was more than loud, everyone could feel it now like they were standing in a storm*

And the curtain collapsed enclosing the golden-headed girl as a whole and fell flat onto the ground as only air stood there,

And flickering stopped off the bulb!

, and they all, who stood, felt like sinking with their feet upon the ground!

"Where did she go?! " "Where?! " " god, she was a ghost! " "No! Stop, Crinhi! Where are you? "

"We are going to die!!!"

But, the old man, the man with three stunts planted in his chest crouched on the floor next to that dropped curtain in the chaos of panic which has shoot among the children who were already terrified and now were more than ever,

And picks up the edge of the curtain in his weak branch-like hand bringing it close to his nose as he sniffed in serenity and spoke-

"Hm... It's daffodil"

*Present-day place- eh... Dungeon and dragon? *

"Aghhhhhhh!!!! "

"Ehhhhhyyyyyy Eeeehhhh!!!! "

Like an ultra-big viper, the dragon opened his vivid mouth showing all its canines, lashing out at that innocent boy who just wanted to have a sound sleep and wake up from this damn nightmare!

As he was sprinting for his life as fast

"How is the dream going one, soulmate? " the goddess sat down at the rim of the window with her bright sarcastic smile that he wanted to devour that smile off her smile.

But, this blue glowing dragon just doesn't want to lose sight of its target,

Well, great as a predator! But worst for... You know who I am talking about,

"Get your pet off!!! " the prey cried as he ducked to the other side of the ancient rock bed with the raged mattress caring his feet off those metal pieces that were once a part of an insanely strong iron chain,

But, the predator leaped with his jaw crushing the bed like a piece of cake, and his mistress laugh twilling her fingers through the golden hair lock- "Don't worry it's just a dream, isn't it? "

However,

"easy! " the dragon rid her head towards the target, taking a final stroke but, he rolled to ward off the posterior end and cried hiding behind thick armor suits that sat as decor-

"Do you want me to get on my knees and beg you? Cause I am doing it! "

Abruptly, the dragon threw his tail to the armor, and all of a sudden the proclaimed sleepyhead, jumped over that thick scaled tail that swung like a flogging stick-

"Huf! You want me dead now!! Huh? Soulmate?! " and landed onto his hand and knees, as he cried from that dripping face and dry mouth, but, as he turned to look for more hiding spot- the death was gazing right on his face with an open cave-like mouth that a complete passage appear from outside till a turn at the throat which grow narrow and it's eyes burning like wildfire looking straight into prey's soul, ready to engulf that stick, which has grown numb!

But a prominent grin rose to cherry lips-

"Agua! Please spare him for me"

"Why... Nm... " The dragon grew gloomy, of course, he didn't want to let go but...

"Baby" tilting her head around which a solar halo was forming as she wiggle her crystallinetaline finger to that monstrous dragon enforcing her decision on him,

And,

"Mmm... Nnnhhhyyy...."

Forcefully that dragon had to take a step back, still with frowned face looking as angry as any active volcano, he breathe out the vapourous hot wind on that boy who was all frozen and almost dead, and falls onto his knees breathing so fresh air- *cough* with a lavender smell,

the On other hands, the gloomy dragon was going with all its face down like a heartbroken Romeo, but, the girl touched his face and said as if making a child giggle-

"Hey don't be sad, you are my baby, don't you, don't you? Tell me..." with her tiny tickles on his thick scaled skin but, ...

"Mmm...Eeehhii... EEeeehhh..." he let out little pleasured muffins, unlike, he is kind of enjoying it!

"Gods I must *huff* understand that I am already dead and was sent to hell! " he spoke out wiping the sweat off his forehead, and attempting to stop dizziness in his knees, and palpitation of heart but,

"Not yet...(she turned her head in amusement still running her hand through her dragon's furs) I saved your life twice so your whole life belongs to me from now on"

Offended, he rose his head to meet her neon gaze that was sparkling through her golden hair, as he punched his fist into the stone floor,

" both times you were the only one who put my life at stake"

"Excuse me, you weren't believing me that's why I have to let my baby... play a bit" and she put her hand under the dragon's fur-hidden chin,

"You call that play?! He was aiming to feed his stomach! " he yelled as he finally get onto his feet, but both the goddess and the dragon darted at him with their narrow eyes and said-

"If he had to swallow you, he would have already done it without even playing around like a house cat chasing mice!"

Mice-- oh I am sorry, Abe shrugs, knowing intensely that indeed it was a cat's play, or else such a big mouth would have swallowed him like peppermint!

However, abruptly, the ruby-red eyes caught a glimpse,

As the dragon blow steam of 100 degrees from his nostrils like he was saying through those shining metal gold gazes,

' Consider yourself lucky! '

However, there was no word just feeling- a boiling feeling! Like popcorn in an oven, and...

" Haha! Okay... Lots to digest!!!" he clapped his both hands overjoyed, almost making it confusing them two-

" Nice to meet you blue dragon--"

"Agua! " she smiled through her teeth interrupting,

"Oky Agua (yawn) and Mama dragon--"

"Soulmate" she grinned,

However, his breath rotated as he looked down at the ground in awkwardness which was not awkward to that girl who was smiling like an innocent lamb,

Abruptly, smashing the ice of awkwardness,

"look ( he rose his vacant wrist with a very busy and buzzy look on his face) it's fifteen minutes since I'm awake, I must take a quick nap---"

But, bed?

Eh... It's...crumbled...to rocks

But who cares?!

He drops to the floor in an instant and lay down closing his eyes like lying on a bed of roses,

But,

"Don't be a sleepster, we have to go visit Martha now"

His hefty eyes wide open still dreaming-

'Martha? mom?!'

"Where is she? "

"Here" she grinned
