Chapter Four: B-O-R-I-N-G

When i think back to how it used to be
Sit there and watch me pretend
You bore me now
You bore me now
(What am I supposed to think?)
Boring, somehow you think you're so much better than me
Come and take a look at what I've got inside

Taken from "Boring" by Life

Well left of with Akio having lunch. It has been a few weeks since then and nothing has happen when traveling with Gray. The whole entire realm of the elves seems to be empty. They have flow most of the way thanks to Akio's magic. Nothing happens until they are midway through the elfin kingdom....

*Akio--*

"You're bored? I know." They are gliding above a few trees with the help of magic. Akio sighs as he makes a motion to Gray and Ra Dai to land. They comply and land in the forest below. Akio titles and commands his magic to work on Ymir. The land only a few feet away from their comrades.

*Akio! T--*

"I swear if you say this is boring I will scream."

*Okay this is B-O-R-I-N-G*

"Stop. It."

*Are you okay? You seem a bit on edge.* Ra Dai flies to sit on Akio's head.

"It just seems like the world is coming to an end...."

"I think you might be over reacting Akio," Gray sighs as he looks around. The forest seems a bit to quiet for his liking.

*You guys are such a drag! I'm going to explore!* Ymir quickly trots off into the bushes.

"YMIR GET BACK HERE!" Akio dives in the bush after him missing him completely.

*Ha! Missed me!*

"This is not funny! This place is dangerous! Get back here!"

*Stop worry--*

"Ymir?"

He doesn't receive an answer.

"Ymir. Answer me."

*What a pretty flower!*

Gray flops over at that comment, Akio would have but he was lying down.

Ra Dai rolls his eyes, *What a funny thing to say. Really you are a nut.*

*Quiet fox!*

"Just come out of there."

*But the flowers....*

Akio rolls his eyes as he forces himself to stand. He walks through the bushes to see Ymir sniffing a flower.

"Ymir? Didn't you notice something strange?" Akio blinks a few times and rubs his eyes.

*No. What's strange?"

"The fact that you are now a Dragonet 'Mir," Gray peeks over Akio's shoulder.

*And...that means what?*

*You're on your way to adulthood!*

"Oh that God," Akio sighs and grins at that thought.

*I'm insulted!*

"We should get moving. I mean your friends can't wait forever!" Gray brushes his silver hair out of his face, "We're almost at the human kingdom."

"This is my worst nightmare..."

*Cheer up Akio! We wouldn't want Ra Dai to use his magic on you!*

Akio spreads his wings, "Let's go."

*Something wrong?*

"Oh nothing...other then the fact we've been wandering for over two weeks. I really need to get to Nightingale." With that he flaps his wings and casts a spell on Ymir.

"Well, We will be there soon! That's if we don't get attacked..."

*Attacked!? You didn't mention anything about being attacked!* Ra Dai looks at Gray wide eyed.

"If you haven't noticed. Clarus is falling a part. If Akio doesn't find Nightingale...well I don't want to think about that." Gray casts a quick spell and begins his flight.

*But you guys! Wait up!* Ra Dai trails behind.

*Akio!*

"I know you're bored!"

*Can we do something other then fly for six strait hours? I'm bored mindless!*

"So am I but I'm not complaining."

*Please can we do something! I'm going nuts!*

"I've been going nuts."

*Please can we land or something? Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!*

"No, we're almost at the human kingdom."

*Please?*

"I said no. That's final."

*But...*

"Can't you wait for two minutes?"

*No.*

"Oh please. I--OW!"

Something had hit him in the face. Hard. He clutches his face in pain and prays he doesn't lose control of his magic. He slowly takes his hands away, while grinding his teeth. "The thing that hit me is going to pay dearly."

*Akio! Are you okay!?* Ymir stares wide eyed as he attempts to flap over. Stupid magic was preventing him from moving.

"I'm fine," Akio gives his bondmate a grin, "I just have to kill what hit me."

"Akio! What happened?" Gray flaps up to them on his gray-blue wings followed by Ra Dai.

"I don't really know. Something hit me in the face," he pauses to wipe a bit of blood of his face, "Whatever it was, it was fast."

"It could have been a demon sprite. They are increasing in number."

"I am a demon, and the prince of demons, I would know if a demon hit me."

"Good point..."

*What is this prince business you keep on raving about?* Ymir chocks his head to one side.

*I haven't seen you show any princely ness anytime!* Ra Dai takes his place on Akio's head.

"Hey, I found out I was a prince only a few, months I believe, ago, but I could still tell if I was hit or even touched by another demon."

*Oh.* Ra Dai and Ymir think simultaneously.

The thing decided to come back and jab him in the back of the head. He screeches as he grabs for the what ever it is. He misses totally and sees something speed away with his one open eye. This thing was going to pop like a balloon. Stupid thing.

*Akio?!*

"I'm fine Ymir. Just extremely angry."

*Meep...*

The thing made another attack, but missed Akio. He decided to chase after whatever it was and did so. At first he wasn't very effective but the thing seemed to have only short burst energy. How perfect. He quickly, like a hawk, swoops down on the thing and grabbed with both hands. "NOW YOU DIE YOU LITTLE THING!"

The ting squeals in his hands, "DON'T KILL! DON'T! SORRY!" the thing seems to be a small person with butterfly wings.

Akio blinks, "A fairy?"

"YES! LET GO MEANIE!"

"A fairy sprite. You were the one who attacked me first."

"You mean demon! Let go!"

"I am not a mean demon. I'm Akio Primdeamon the prince of demons."

"Meep! You kill me, now?"

Akio heaves a sigh before rolling his eyes, "No, I won't kill you if you're nice."

"Demon lie!" the little sprite bites down on his thumb.

"OWIE! DO YOU WANT ME TO POP OFF YOUR HEAD LIKE A DAISY?!"

"Neep! Sorry! Don't kill!"

"DON'T BITE!"
