"Welcome home , Ariel", Colin pictured what this meeting could've meant for him if that hadn't happened but before he could utter another word his sister dragged him into the house by the collar and locked the door from the inside only for a couple of moments then came back out and told her friend to come in.
They sat down in the living (meaning only Colin and the visitor ) trying to get past the awkwardness of the past couple of minutes . Even from the kitchen , Colin felt the intense glare from Ariel , probably telling him to make conversation.
Whom he sat across , identified herself as Roxanne Vivariulle , well-placed in formal wearing one could guess that she came from the southern country of Origanious . She kept her radiant violet hair in an unattended let loose way that complemented her tone and behavioural traits as well as her body structure.
"Nice to meet you , I'm Colin Garwood. You can call me Cole .Composed to the core as though he had gone through the same tidings he waited for her response.
"Pleasure , My name is ..." , she looked at Ariel , who nodded whilst coming with a tray of food and then she continued , "Princess Roxanne viv Vivariulle, crowned princess to the country of Origanious."
"Wow , so you're a princess huh , meaning that my sister is gonna be king of a country.",he was glowing with a smile.
She hit him in the head to pipe him down then all flustered she spoke , "This idiot's name is actually Colin Crys Granwood , but due to how famous it is he chooses an alias but at the academy there'll be nothing to hide.", he regretted ever cleaning up the house from her sake.
Without any sense of regret he rose , patted his sister on the head and headed straight for the door , "Well , since your back I'm going home , no more taking care of mom and dad's house ." , he said with relief.
"Cole , no... Crys wait , mom sealed all use for this house except for getting some food only for today , so I was kinda hoping to bunk at your house . ", hearing his own sister use the name he forbade everyone in the family to use he felt like he was being nagged then broke out in laughter."You! ,in the wild that is something new . Let's go but only one rule when we get there—(assumed a serious demeanor)—whatever you do don't go digging around anywhere , got it?".
"Sure , but why though?", perplexed she asked him.
"Don't you hear that? , it's thunder plus it's getting dark out meaning that we have less than fifteen minutes to get there . Let's go!.",he removed his jacket and dashed outside , disappearing into the darkened mist.
(A couple of minutes later)....
Ariel was close to exhaustion following the relentless, energy-driven inhuman brother of hers . Cole was swinging on the small branches of large sized pak trees , even stepping on the tiny twigs which could break withing a small gush of wind .
"Come on , Ariel!! , catch me and you get the place. Hahaha!!!!!, kidding.", he lept from the tree top and descended on to the hard , rocky forest ground. With the rain pounding on everything that resided below , young Colin was untameable ;he ran through the density of the bush , like a Tarzan of the era he looked at home , as if he did this routine everyday , aware of everything within his domain.
His sister on the brink of collapse called to him ,"Come on , wait for me!.", she drew in a deep breathe before she collapsed due to over exertion.
"Well , at least she collapses when we get there .", he shook his head ,"Roxy! , pick her up and follow me .", he said and she did so as told.
They were led to a gigantic oak tree , with a harmony of wood , concrete and effective city modernization. The home itself looked simple to construct but it had indeed to Cole two years to make it reach the full glory it had today.
Entering the place was a bit tricky than any ordinary forest home (not that they were there except for elves) one had to go through the cave entrance, go down a ladder , kill monsters which got summoned every thirty minutes to protect elevator, then once in there you press level 1 ½ and then climb out on the top and then climb ladder to a hatch ,climb a flight of stairs and then take a reverse slide that instead of taking you down it took you up . Lastly you fall through a trapdoor and finally you reach the living room.
By the time they reached the dining area , one of the was on death's door whilst the other looking more energetic, the third one of them then woke up conveniently for that time.
"We're already here.",the one who took care of her looked in intense shock and then brushed it off.
Cole looked at both of them and said ,"Welcome to Granwolf Labyrinth!".
