Chapter 8

The Dreaded Dinner

I sat at the table moving my food from one end of the plate to the other clearly bored. Keini lying across my shoulders like a cat would do, and true to the nature of cats she was asleep. And me? Well I'm sitting here bored out of my mind seeing how no one talks much and I don’t even know who Kel or Dom are. I think it was kind of pointless for me to come.

"Are you alright Kay?" Alan questioned from beside me, and true to his word he did drag me down here. If I had it my way Keini and I would already be out of here and on the next airwave to a tropical Island.

I nodded my head but in truth I really wasn't, that conversation that Keini and me overheard was still bothering me a little bit. I didn't mean to eves-drop but how was I supposed to know they were meeting in that one room?

"I don’t see why you have your hood up indoors." Alan said trying to make small talk with me.

"Would you like her to scream her head off instead?" Keini questioned waking up from her nap.

"She could talk her self you know, I don’t think she needs you to tell people what to do." Alan replied a bit aggravated.

"Have you heard her say a word in the few days that you have known her?"

"No..."

"Exactly. So any questions you have for her WILL be answered by her though me."

"Your not my elder Keini." I thought bringing my glass of water up to my lips.

"I'm close enough to it and you know it."

"Close enough to what?" Alan asked looking at Keini like she had twin heads.

"Umm... Roasting you"

"Suuuure." Alan replied not believe her. Why don’t people believe Keini anyway? She does like to burn people, just in her mind... But they don’t know that do they?

"Its the truth." Keini replied as I set my empty glass down into an clean empty bowl and stared at it. "KAY!" Keini screamed once she realized what I was doing, but it was too late the glass already went to its liquid form.

"Wow, how did you do that one?" Alan asked as he went to go touch the liquid.

"Don't touch it!" Keini growled at Alan angry at what I did.

"How did she do that?" Alan asked again.

"Magic." Keini replied. "Change it back before I toast your hood off."

"Yes mother" I replied placing my hand a foot or two above the bowl. My hand glowed as I closed my eyes and pictured the glass in my head. I changed it around a little though... Instead of having its regular straight neck I twisted it, and made little rose shapes around the base. The cup part I kept the same because it was the only part of it that looked good.

"You just had to change it didn’t you?" Keini said with just a hit of amusement in her voice.

"Well that was an interesting display of what you can do." Numair said sitting down on my other side as he took the glass in his had and looked at it from all possible angles.

"Hey Girly man." Keini said looking at Numiar from underneath my chin.

"Yeah Yeah lizard." Numair replied still twirling glass in between his fingers.

"I agree with Numair." A new voice said taking the cup from Numair. "Well, except for the lizard comment."

Keini turned her head around to where she could see the new person. I looked though Keini's eyes and at the stranger. Only one feature stood out on his olden looking face, his ice blue eyes.

"Hey Your Majesty." Alan said turning his body around so he could face the King.

"He looks strangely like Konge don't he Keini?"

"Kay, everyone here looks like someone from that place."

"Huh?" The king asked looking at us oddly.

"Don't mind the conversations you hear from them, you get one half of it and you can never make sense of it." Numiar said taking the cup back from the king. "I don’t even understand them Jon, so your chances are a little slim."

Jon rolled his eyes. "Sure make fun of me like George did earlier."

"Why beat us out of the only fun we seem to have around here?" Numair joked.

"Oh, and you fiddling around with magic isn’t fun?"

Do you people always act like children here? I signed to Numair.

"Uhh, Keini what did she just sign?" Numair asked a little confused, well little is an understatement I would have to say he was totally confused at the moment.

"She asked if you everyone always acted like children here." Keini repeated with a small yawn.

"You better believe it." Jon and Numair replied in unison.

"Kay, can I go back now?" Keini asked jumping down to my lap and looking up at me with the saddest pair of puppy dog eyes I have ever seen a dragon do.

"Sure, just asked them where we can find a big enough clearing to hold you."

"Yo Homosapians, know of a place that will hold a twelve foot dragon?"

"There’s the field, but you might scare the wits out of the horses. Why?" King Jon asked looking at Keini oddly. What is with people and doing that? You would think they were used to odd questions.

"I'm going home so to say." Keini replied as I placed her on the ground and stood up.

"Just let me get Diane so she can calm down the horses." Numair replied standing up.

"I'll go with you just to see this dragon." Jon said taking Numair's seat as he ran off to get the Wild Mage. I sat down as well just to be polite to the king, last time I was here they would of chopped off your head if you offended the royal people in any way.

"Why do people think its another dragon and not me?" Keini said rolling her eyes.

"Because your just a small lizard who thinks its a dragon." Alan said almost giving me a heart attack, I totally forgot he was there.

"Well, back to the reshaping of my glass here." Jon intruded as Keini was sending death glares in Alan's direction. "Did you know that you just changed the shape of a two hundred year old cup?" He pointed to the accused cup as I tried not to laugh, boy was he wrong on how old it was.

"Month old." Keini corrected.

"What?" both Alan and Jon said at the same time.

"The cup was only a moth old not two hundred as you were led to believe."

"How would you know?" Jon questioned back.

"I know because it would have taken more then five seconds or Kay to melt it. If in truth it was two hundred years old it would have taken a good hour or two just for it to start melting."

"I would hate to break up with wonderful conversation about melting glass, but if Keini wants to get home before the moons full we better get going." Diane said from behind Jon.

"Good point, and the sooner I get home the sooner you al get to bug Kay with out me there." Keini said walking off toward the main door as I followed her.

Chapter 9
Tyv... Not another one!

I set Keini down in the center of the field as Daine silently talked to the horses; my hood fell off my head as I stood up. "Shes not like Vill, he used to speak aloud to the animals he was talking to."

"Everyone's different from their counter parts." Keini replied closing her eyes. It didn’t take too long for her to go back to her original twelve feet in size.

"So it was you!" Alan said his face white as a sheet, or at least what I could see of his face. "Why did you kidnap her?"

"I did not kidnap her as your primitive mind has been led to believe." Keini answered glaring at Alan. "I brought her with me because you were being a total homosapian and also interrupted an important conversation we where having."

"But-" Alan started to protest.

"No buts, now if you don’t mind I would like to go back." She grumbled turning her body toward me.

"There’s no need to be rude Keini, he was only looking out for my safety." I told her as I took her head with my hands and rubbed the soft spot of her chin.

"Yeah yeah, get ready." She warned me. I sighed and closed my eyes. Taking my hands off of Keini's face I brought them to right in front of my stomach I placed them palm to palm. Both Keini and me took deep breaths in at the same time, I felt her placed her head on my stomach and it wasn’t too long before I felt her body going back under my skin. I opened my eyes and smiled walking back toward where the others were at the edge of the gate.

"You realize you look like an owl?" Numair said as I placed my hood back over my eyes.

"Well that was more interesting then the glass." Jon commented looking at me with awe.

"Where did she go?" Alan asked tilting his head to one side.

I pointed to the white band around my neck, her tail. Not many people realized that it was Keini until I told them. Not that I'm saying there dense, but sometimes they can be. Take Alan for example, he never detected that Keini could be that "Tiny Lizard" until she changed back to her regular size.

"I don’t know about you guys but I want to get inside." Daine said joining our group. "It’s a little to cold for my liking."

"It's not that cold." Jon replied as we walked back toward the banquet hall. I followed silently behind not wanting to walk to close to them. Its not like I don't trust them or anything but what if they are going to act like the others when they found out the truth about me?

"Your unusually quiet." Alan said dropping back to walk beside me.

What do you expect me to talk? I signed glaring at him a little bit.

"Huh?" Alan looked at me dumb-founded, which I have to admit fits him quiet nicely.

"She asked if you expected her to speak lad." A gruff sounding voice said from... Well I'm not to sure where it came from, it sounded like it was coming from all over the place.

"George get out of the shadows, it’s not proper for the baron of Pirates swoop to sneak around like a common thief." Numair said looking up to the roof and right where he was looking a man landed on the ground with a soft thud. I wouldn’t be surprised if the words "trouble maker" was tattooed on his forehead. He had the same attitude around him as Tyv, another one of the shamans, had before I left them.

"Who said I was going to be a proper gentleman?" George asked

"Yeah its good to see you too George." Numair said rolling his eyes as we resumed our walk.

"Who's the lass?" George asked pointing over his shoulder at me.

"That's Kay." Alan said steeping to his fathers side leaving me to walk alone.

"Same lass?" George asked Numair as we entered the banquet hall.

I didn't hear the rest of the conversation because I split off from the others and headed back to my room. Now that Keini's back its pointless for me to be there. Well, its also pointless because I don’t even know one shred of information about this Kel or Dom that the banquet was being held for. All I know is that they got married, big deal, if I got married no one would make a fuss about it.

"I don't see why we just cant go back home and be hermits Keini." I thought as I opened my door, which I just realized is a hallway away from the hall.

"Because its pointless." Keini said with a yawn. "Now get to bed so I can get some rest, you know I can't go to sleep unless I'm like this. And I have been going for about five nights without any sleep." Keini said with a yawn.

"Yes mother." I said as I changed into nightclothes.

"I'm not old enough to be your mother, but thanks for the compliment."

"Hey Keini, what do you say to a water balloon fight tomorrow?"

"Do what ever you wish as long as I get some sleep." Was the reply that Keini gave to me.

"Good, because I'm getting the balloons tomorrow morning."

"Just don’t do anything drastic that will change the time line." I heard Keini yawn again and not long I too fell asleep with her.
