Chronicles of Eden - Act IV (67 page)

Daniel looked over to seeing Squeak running after Falla while swinging her pickaxe around swiftly with loud squeaks.

“Knock it off, Squeak! You owe me one still, remember? I said quit it!” Falla barked back at her, obviously doing nothing to slow Squeak down in the slightest.

Daniel then watched as Kroanette was trying to gallop away from Lucky and Alyssa, the horse neighing loudly while its flaming tail whipped about behind it.

“Get that
thing
away from me!” Kroanette cried out while holding her hands to her face. “I’m a straight centaur! I’m a straight centaur!”

“Don’t you call Lucky a thing!” Alyssa yelled out with anger.

“That’s not what I’m talking about! Just get him away from me!” Kroanette shouted desperately as she ran quickly with Lucky following behind her.

Daniel watched them all running about then sighed softly before glancing to Specca with a small smile.

“Well, one thing is for sure,” he reasoned with a slight tone of amusement. “It’ll be an interesting journey for all of us.”

Slowly Specca smiled a bit before he leaned in and kissed her, the two closing their eyes and enjoying their moment as the shouts and cries of the other girls were heard around them. After the kiss ended Daniel watched the girls chasing each other about nearby with an amused smile while Specca rested her head against his shoulder, the nixie sighing happily as he held her close.

As the bickering girls ran around, threatened one another, pleaded for mercy, and squeaked with discontent, Daniel looked up at the sky as the sun was shining behind a few clouds. A calm smile came across his face as he felt confident that he and his companions could bring about real change to this world, no matter what may lay ahead for them.

“Yeah, an interesting journey indeed.”
