CHAPTER FIFTEEN: UN-ROYAL BEHAVIOR.

TAKI'S POINT OF VIEW.

It is a grey, dull morning sky, however, instead of being refreshed from a goodnight rest, I and Yal on the contrary,barely slept a wink, the reason being because we were hungry, presently Yal is literally tearing up and I'm absolutely sullen, -now I know exactly how beggars feel like-, "Hey Taki…. What do we do?, if those horrible creatures don't kill us then starvation will" he mumbles in frustration, I sigh heavily and state "I guess we have to find food", he glares at me and folds his arms "You make it sound so easy", he blurts in semi-anger, I shrug "Standing here wouldn't help us anyway… so let's go" I begin to walk away, at first Yal just stands staring at me dubiously, but once I'm plenty feet away, he realizes I'm not lazing around and comes running.

TAKI'S POV END.

*********

THE HOODED ONE'S POINT OF VIEW.

I am about to trudge steadily through the school gates, and I am met by Zael, a rather annoying mage fellow, patiently waiting for me there "Did anything go wrong?...you ended up not capturing him" he asks, I turn to him sharply -seriously?; this is his welcom?-, "And who told you that I found him in the first place Zael?" I ask calmly, Zael looks at me curiously, and shrugs "I'm just hoping this has nothing to do with your friendship of the past" he undertones slyly, "Is this an accusation?" I ask, my tone sombre, Zael shrugs and smiles nervously "Forgive my prodding…" he bows and walks away , I sigh -Zael is one of those who greatly discomfort me with their skepticality-, he must have anticipated me coming back without Fenice, to think he was literally waiting for me at the gates -he's just the type; I feel like murdering-

THE HOODED ONE'S POV END.

"A stream! I see a stream!" I yell to Rave who rushes to me, it is a bit downhill a slope area, Rave and I climb down together and rush into the water, suddenly the 'stream' fades out and in its place is a huge beast, I puke.

TAKI'S POINT OF VIEW.

I gingerly climb the tree "Don't fall!" Yal yells to me, I grit my teeth, I am still annoyed that he refused to climb -I am absolutely not going to give him any of the fruits I pluck- suddenly, a branch lets way and I find myself falling through, luckily for me, he catches me, I sigh heavily as I get down from his arms "A quite un-royal behavior we have been forced to potray" Yal mumbles quietly , I chuckle "It's for survival and besides…this isn't a first for me…" I say as I begin to climb up again, he regards me and then suddenly holds me back while shakily saying "Don't worry…I shall climb this time". I laugh -un-royal behavior indeed-

TAKI'S POV END.
