Chapter. 6

Third person (p.o.v.)

"okay well first we need to get four sword handles," Kai said as he looked on the list that Ezekiel made for them. "I think we passed a blacksmith in that city-town thingy, I'm sure we can just get them to give us the ingredients if we pay them," Luna said, "with what money?" Kai asked, "Manual labor?" Luna asked, "I don't want to be stuck having to work for some guy!" Daisuke said, "and I thought I was the princess," Luna said, rolling her eyes. Kai chuckled.

"Daisuke, you're just gonna have to suck it up," Luna said with her hands on her hips. "what she said,'' Kai added on to her. "I'm a bodyguard, not a maid!" Daisuke said, "do you have anything else better to do?" Luna asked. Daisuke sighed heavily, "no," Daisuke answered. "exactly, so suck it up and help us! or would you rather I demote you to a butler instead?" Luna asked. Daisuke shook his head furiously, "no, I'm sorry please don't do that!" Daisuke said, panicked. "okay, now that, that's covered, let's get going," Kai said. "I'll carry you, Luna can hold the equipment while we fly." Daisuke said. Kai and Luna agreed, the three got ready then they took off, but they stayed close to the ground, they only did this so that they could move faster. we went looking through the city, when they found the blacksmith, they landed.

"remind me again why we're getting the help of the commoner?" Daisuke asked, as he placed Kai on the ground. Kai turned around and smacked Daisuke on the back of the head. "I need to remind you, I'M a commoner, I don't have to help you, but I am anyway, because it's the right thing to do! Now, suck it up and quick bickering!" Kai growled, annoyed, Luna hummed in agreement. "Princess, let's go, we don't need these people to kill two magic users!" Daisuke said, trying to convince her to leave. "Daisuke, if you don't want to help us, you don't have to, but if you don't help us, you are failing to do your job, do it. To add to that, if you make one more comment on commoners again, I will do the same. Kai is a commoner, and you don't know, but he could feel hurt about those kinds of comments! if you fail to follow those rules, then you'll fail to have a job immediately! Is THAT more clearer than all the threats I've given you?!" Luna asked, in a serious tone. "With all due respect princess, your parents only have the right to fire the staff," Daisuke said. "oh? you wanna play that card? well my freaking parents are in a Dungun dying of a slow killing illness, and if we don't hurry fast enough, my parents will die, and then It'll be your fault for holding us up for too long, and then I'll be Queen, and the first thing I will do when I'm queen if fire you! still wanna try and win this fight?" Luna asked, now she was angry.

Kai motioned behind Luna to Daisuke to cut it out, Daisuke nodded. "Sorry," Daisuke said sighing in defeat, "alright then," Luna sighing in relief, the three got ready then walked into the shop. the three went to the man hitting the burning hot iron with a hammer. Luna got behind Kai because that was her first instinct, Kai noticed and smiled softly at her to comfort her. Daisuke noticed this and cursed at Kai in his head, jealously. The three approached the man, then Kai cleared his throat to alert him. The man stopped and put the hammer down. "Um, sir, we need 4 swords, where and we were wondering if we could pay you in manual labor?" Kai asked. The man hummed and debated on it for about 2 minutes.

"I'll do it, but It takes a week to make a sword, but I'll make them at the same time, so it'll take like a week and two days maybe. I'll start working on it tomorrow so You'll start working tomorrow too." The blacksmith answered. The three nodded their heads, "sir, I'll do the work for the fourth sword," Luna offered, "alright," The blacksmith agreed while nodding. "we'll see you tomorrow for work," Kai said and held his hand out for him to shake. The blacksmith shook his hand and smiled too through his mask. The three left shop then flew back to the house where Ezekiel lived. We knocked on the door, Ezekiel opened the door and let us in. We heard a woman call out, "Ezekiel are those people at the door, the people you were talking about?" The woman asked. "Yes, honey," Ezekiel called back. "oh, is your daughter awake?" Luna asked, immediately. Ezekiel nodded, "she's in her room," he replied, "I wanna see her! Please!" Luna said with excitement. "go ahead, last room down the hall," Ezekiel replied, Luna zoomed in and went to the daughter's room. "that is the fastest I've ever seen her go in a long time," Daisuke said, surprised. "she seems more comfortable outside, than inside the castle," Daisuke added.

"oh really, you didn't notice?" Kai asked. The two walked into the house then they went into the kitchen where the wife was making lunch. "oh hello! You two must be Kai and Daisuke," The wife said, the woman was at the stove and making lunch for them. "yea. I'm Kai," Kai said, "and I'm Daisuke," Daisuke said. The two sat down at the table, "where's the other one, Luna right?" The woman asked, "yeah, she's in the room with our daughter playing with her," Ezekiel assured her. "well, can one of you go get them? It's time for lunch," She said as she got out 7 plates. Kai got up and went to daughters room. Kai noticed how she got along with the daughter so well. Kai stood there leaning on the doorway watching them. "that's so cute," Kai said, "kai?" Luna said as he looked up at him. "oh uh yeah, the Ezekiel's wife sent me to go get you two, It's time for dinner," Kai said, the two nodded and then up. The daughter looked up at Luna and reached her hands up at her, "uppies!" she whined. Luna bent down and then picked her up. They went to dinner to go eat their lunch.
