Chapter Fifteen: I Win!

Okay, the narrator is warning you here and now. This is the most pointless chapter in the story. You have Dmitrii rambling fuzzy bunnies and other oddities. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!

Dmitrii came down the stairs with a large pack slung on his back along with Kazi on his head (of course). He was whistling a happy tune for everything had gone right for at least four days. They had be hopping form Hotel to Hotel in the port city. You may think "why are they still in that same town?" well it's a big town. It is enough to cover about 1,920 miles across in total. That is quite a lot of land to cover.

He almost ran head long into the middle of a "show" being preformed by Harper and Bumblebii. They were pretty much sword fighting in the middle of the dining room for all the people to see.

Harper lunged, "Got you!"

Bii easily dodged and whacked Harper in the knee with the flat side of her sword.

Jumping up and down he dropped his sword. He was already beat up by several other attacks, "Okay! Uncle."

A smile crossed Bumblebii's face, "Now Chuutou tell him what he's won!"

Chuutou, who was sitting in the corner, looked up, "Yes, this lucky man must say those magic words that all women want to here! You must say those three words to Oomlaut and keep to them."

Harper twitched, "Oh what?"

"I obey you."

Harper squeaked as those words passed Chuutou's lips. He stuttered a bit before speaking clearly, "Is there something else?"

"Yes," Chuutou was almost singing, "Go jump of one of the docks."

Harper sighed, "Right then." He walked out of the hotel. The crowd at the dining area all rushed to follow minus the traveling group.

After the stampede was over Dmitrii sat down next to Velare Itome. "Do we have any plans so far?"

Velare shook his head and finished his piece of toast. "Nothing at all. You might as well take a walk or flight or something."

Sachie lean back in his chair to face Dmitrii, "Actually you might want to show Kazimir how to fly. After all he does have wings."

"Heheheheh."

*I really would like to learn how to fly...and walk.* Kazimir went dreamy eyed.

Sunil sat in a different corner eating something...large, *You don't have legs. It's quite hard to walk with out them.*

*Um...it would help if I did have legs now that you mention it.*

"Well, you even get legs I'll teach you how to walk okay?"

*'Kay!*

Grinning at Velare 'Mitrii got up and grabbed some bacon. "I think I will take a walk, Thank you."

Oomlaut bounce over with the Oos in her hair, "Fweee! I want to go!"

"Fweee! How about no?"

"But..."

"It's too cold for you out there. You'd just complain. We wouldn't want you uncomfortable."

Oomlaut thought a bit, "I guess you're right, but before you go do you want some tea?"

"No thank you." Dmitrii half bowed and left. Pack and all.

"Wait...Why was he carrying his pack?" Bii looked after him frantically.

Fumei popped in carrying a tray before anyone could come up with a logical answer. "I baked a cake! Want some."

Everyone almost fell over if they were standing. As for Sachie he fell backwards from tipping his chair a bit too far. What a nice day so far.

'Mitrii sat on a roof of a public building with Kazimir next to him. They had just finished the basics of flying (and walking) explained in detail. The pack lie almost empty behind them. The fact is Dmitrii had sold the possession he had received from a few people that he didn't need. Like the random set of potion ingredients from a townsmen.

The sun that day was shinning brightly but the bitter cold still nipped at anyone unprotected. Kazimir snuggled up to his bondmate who was looking at the faint shape of on of the moons in the sky. *Dmitrii?*

"What is it Kazimir?"

*Why are you so worried all the time?*

"Worried... I don't think I know what you mean." He looked down at the wyrm.

*You know what I mean. Recently you've been pretty antisocial and I've had to make up for it. You know it does get to be a pain.*

"Why can't I be antisocial? Everyone else is, and they all seem to expect me to be the happy medium. I don't want to be the happy medium."

*You're a clergy man. COME ON! What else should you be?*

"Myself."

*You know the story really sucks when you try to drag depression into it.*

"I know, fun isn't it?"

*No. Not at all. Why don't you just fly away to that place White Craft?*

"Other then the fact that everyone there has seen me in a leather miniskirt? No reason."

"MEEETREEEE!" A squeaky little voice called form... somewhere. The sound of frantically beating wings was heard not too shortly after the call. Beat beat. Pant pant. Beat beat. Pant pant. They come to see a slowly rising Nexus, who is fighting to keep in the air. Slowly, not to set him off balance, Dmitrii lean forward and put his hands under Nexus. Nex panted and fell into his hands. "Nexy find! Yay!" He panted some more and tried to speak failing.

"Just take a rest. Don't rush it."

*And you said--*

"Shut up."

"Bii wants brother back! Bii is frightened for Meeetree!"

"Think you can go and tell her I only went to sell things? I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Nexy will tell Bii!" He fluttered off, plummeting down alarmingly fast only pull up at the very last second.

They both stared after him before looking at each other and looking after him again. *What a nut.*

"I think he just acts like that to get attention. Meh, funny git."

*Shouldn't we head back soon?*

"I guess."

"I think not," a forceful male voice from behind said to them.

Da da da.

"So you mean to tell my I'll have to run all the way back to where my oldest sister is just to get to the Bishen Realm. Plus I am going to pick up two strangers. Are you sure about this Lucifer?"

"For the last bloody time YES." The mage hit the ground in frustration. They were still on the roof of that building.

*Don't get so angry it's bad for your womanly complexion.*

"I'M A MAN FOR THE LAST TIME!"

*So next time we met you, Mister Lucy, you'll be a woman?*

"Let me rephrase that. I am a man, and I will always be a man got that?"

*Why didn't you say that in the first place?*

Lucifer just sighed as he slumped a bit. The world was resting on the shoulders of a group of morons. Who decided on these things? A completely inept moron or what?

"We really should get going. The sun is going to set soon...."

"Ah, you should make your way toward the edge of town. I set horses for your friends and told them to stay in the Inverse Hotel. You can meet them there. Do you want a horse or shall you be flying there on your own?"

"Horse."

"Very well then follow me."

They took the long way down. Stairs. Lots and lots of creepy stairs passed by until Dmitrii collapsed at the bottom. Only to be faced with the worried face of Lucifer.

"Are you all right young man?"

"I'm fine but we went down at least 1,000 steps and I tripped over that last one. How can you do it without getting at least slightly tired?"

"I like mountain climbing."

"Now that's something I'd never guess."

He shrugged and called the horse over with a short whistle. A huge pure white horse trotted over and nuzzled Dmitrii on the ground. Outside stairs really suck mind you. With a sigh Dmitrii rose and mounted the horse, carefully not the knock Kazimir off his head. Speaking of which... "You know Kazimir you've gained a bit of weight."

*I HAVE NOT! I've kept my figure nice and slim.*

"My neck hurts from having you on my head. I know you've gained wait."

*I am as thin as ever. You're just week.*

He nudged the horse to go ahead and waved goodbye to Lucy. "No. You're just getting fat. Lay off the creampuffs."

*I. Am. Not. Gaining. Weight.*

"You are too. Stop acting like a woman."

*OKAY THAT'S LOW!*

"MUAHAHAHA! I win!"

*I'll get you I swear.*

"Will not."

*Will too.*

"Will too."

*Will not. AHHH!*

Dmitrii laughed as the trotted down the road. The day turned out well, after all he had a new friend for as long as he lived.
