“Cabin Fever Part 4”
************
(Calabolt, Haru, and Yuki walks through the forest path)
{Haru}
“I can’t believe you! Why did you take something that doesn’t even belong to you?”
{Yuki}
“Well, no one wanted it.”
{Haru}
“Ughh… We could have been safely at home by now.”
{Yuki}
(grabbing onto Calabolt’s hair)
“The moon is outshining our path tonight and the forest looks pretty! I really don’t understand why you’re always so angry, Grumpy Uncle.”
{Haru}
(snaps)
“That assessment is false and you know it! I love the forest as much as any other forest elf! And why are you always riding Calabolt like you would a beast? You can fly, can’t you?”
{Yuki}
(smiles)
“Aww… Cala-chan doesn’t mind. Cala-chan is strong!”
(Calabolt looks up to Yuki and smiles as Haru gives off a look of disdain)
{Haru}
“May I remind you that if the moon is already out, it means we only have a few hours left before it completely disappears… I don’t think this is something you should rejoice about. Don’t tell me you already forgot why we need this key…”
(Yuki shrugs)
{Haru}
(sighs)
“Whatever… We’re nearly there, right?”
{Yuki}
(slowly nods)
“My house is just past the bridge over there! How I wish Nika were here. She would have enjoyed the trip and the beautiful scenery.”
{Calabolt}
“Yeah, but Cussy called right before we left. It must’ve been important.”
{Haru}
(coughs)
“In any case, we are just fetching an item. We can do it ourselves and…”
(an echo of faint laughter rings through the path)
{Calabolt}
(looking around nervously)
“W-What was that? For a moment there… I could have sworn…”
{Yuki}
“…Cala-chan? Cala-chan?”
{Calabolt}
“H-Huh?”
{Yuki}
“Is everything alright?”
{Calabolt}
“Y-Yeah… I just thought that I…”
(the stream of giggles flooded back)
{Calabolt}
“There it is again! That sounded like…”
{Haru}
“Ignore them, Calabolt.”
{Calabolt}
(surprised)
“Y-You can hear them too?”
{Haru}
“The Dryads? Of course, I do.”
{Yuki}
(looking around)
“Huh? I didn’t hear anything! What are you guys talking about?”
{Haru}
“Well, of course, you didn’t. Dryads only reveal themselves to people they are err… interested in.”
{Yuki}
“That isn’t fair! I also want them to be interested in me! Someone told me that they were pretty to look at and fun to play with!”
{Haru}
(sighs)
“Kazan used to say the same thing… Although, I can understand why the Dryads won’t show themselves to this player anymore. They can’t forgive the cold stare he gave after he got bored of dawdling with them…”
(Haru stops)
{Haru}
“Now that I think about it, it’s to be expected… Knowing him… He may seem warm and welcoming at first but…”
{Yuki}
(ruffles his feathers)
“I looked everywhere but I really don’t see anything! Are you sure you guys aren’t playing tricks on me? It’s not funny…”
{Haru}
“The mind of a child might not comprehend it yet but… Mark my words, you do not want these female’s attention. Let’s leave it at that, shall we?”
(For a brief moment, Calabolt notices Haru shuddering)
{Yuki}
“Oooh! We can almost see my house from here!”
{Calabolt}
“Where?”
{Yuki}
“Over there! See the highest tree on the hill?”
{Calabolt}
“Oh… You live in a… treehouse?”
{Yuki}
(glowing excitedly)
“It’s a fort!”
{Calabolt}
(nervously sweats)
“O-Oh…”
(the group approaches the bridge)
{Calabolt}
(turns around)
“….mhmmm?”
{Yuki}
“Hmmm? What is it Cala-chan? Is it those pesky dryads again?”
{Calabolt}
“Uhmm… No. I hear something else… It’s like screeching noises and… Is someone being attacked?!”
(looking at each other, the group hurriedly runs toward the noise)
{Yuki}
(peeking from the bushes)
“Oh! It’s just the Dragulyths. They screech while feeding on those helpless shiny flowers.”
{Calabolt}
“B-But I thought I heard a cry for help…”
{Yuki}
(frowning)
“It might be from those poor shiny flowers…”
{Calabolt}
“But aren’t they just flowers…?”
{Haru}
“Hmmm? Shiny flowers? You mean the Bloomsprites?”
{Calabolt}
“Bloomsprites? They just look like dandelions to me.”
{Haru}
“Dandelions? No, and they aren’t flowers! They are what some faes call lesser creatures. But they are sentient just like you and me.”
{Calabolt}
“Sorry… So, they have Majïk?”
{Haru}
“In a way, all of us have Majïk.”
{Yuki}
“It’s always happening during this time of the cycle. The meanie Dragulyths keep scaring away and eating the shiny flowers.”
{Haru}
“Well, it is the time for Bloomsprites to mate and for the Dragulyths to prepare their hibernation…”
{Yuki}
(flies in between the Dragulyths and the Bloomsprites)
“I can’t take it anymore! Hey! I thought I told you to not harm the shiny flowers! Bad Dragulyths!”
(shocked, the dragulyths flew away)
{Yuki}
“That’s right! And don’t come back!”
{Haru}
“Yuki… They aren’t doing this because they are evil. It’s just the circle of life.”
{Yuki}
“I don’t care! I… ouch!”
(Bloomsprites turn on Yuki, stinging him repeatedly)
{Yuki}
“Hey! I just helped you guys! Why are you being so mean?”
{Calabolt}
“Maybe they thought you were going to attack them?”
{Haru}
“Hmmm… I heard that they are a bit territorial…”
{Yuki}
“Oww… let’s just get out of here!”
(Haru and Calabolt follows a fleeing Yuki to his doorstep)
{Yuki}
(panting)
“I think we lost em…”
{Calabolt}
“Uhhh… Yuki.”
(Yuki looks to where Calabolt is pointing at)
{Yuki}
“Oowww!”
(Bloomsprites attack Yuki as he approaches the door)
{Haru}
(whispers to himself)
“Is it because Yuki invaded their territory? That may explain the first wave but why do they attack Yuki relentlessly? Sure, they claim a large area for their own but we should have passed their borders by now… I haven’t heard of any Bloomsprite getting this aggressive to a fae. Maybe…”
{Yuki}
“Oww… Let’s just get inside!”
(Calabolt reaches for Yuki, shielding him from the Bloomsprite’s assault)
{Haru}
“Hmmm… Come to think of it, it’s been ages since I last visited.”
(the group take refuge inside Yuki’s home)
{Yuki}
“Welcome to my tree fort!”
{Haru}
“Ughh… Couldn’t you keep this place a bit cleaner? I mean, why do you need all this junk?”
{Yuki}
“This isn’t junk! All of these are my treasures!”
(Calabolt walks in the house, stepping on mountains of shiny trinkets)
{Calabolt}
(scratches his head)
“H-How can we hope to even find this key in time now? The moon is getting higher and higher?!”
