Early in the morning, like a couple minutes after ten o’clock, we left the phantasmagorical cabin for good. Since Alex is a darn sleepyhead, we were unable to open the front door till he had had some decent breakfast first. It had to be a joke! How could he lead me to my destiny, my homeworld, if he was unable to wake up earlier that day? I was really pissed off by then, but I had no idea I was just overreacting. What came up next was my real issue!
Perhaps you might have seen those bothersome flies that show up once the day is hot and the sun shines for being quite unforgiving. Then you had noticed how those insects never stop following you, they just feel the need to cross your path about a thousand times. Usually I’d just slap them hard enough to scare them away or even resort to start clapping not my hands but my thick books to get rid of them forever. Nope, I was unable to bring along my history books so I could not kill it. You’d now think I was lucky it was a single fly, and you’d be totally wrong about it. Here flies could get nastier than ever before, I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen them myself, guys!
How about letting me introduce you this pesky critter as Silly, as I humbly named it? Believe me when I tell you it was my very personal stalker, one that would not get tired of bugging me, thinking I’d never see a thirteen inch tall fly blocking the view whenever I needed to find a river like a mad man.
It took that monstrous insect over ten ungraceful hours to address me only to say “I do think I’ve already noticed the way you’ve been watching me fly around like a real acrobat”.
That whitish fly of sorts was not really clear, was it?
“Say, don’t you think I’m a real beauty? Especially now that my pale skin shines as the sun above” that bothersome Silemina stated abruptly because she gotta be female, wasn’t she?
I did not understand why any of us would ever care about that unless I were deeply interested in selling her pelt at some local shop. Alright, I did think about cutting her here and there just a couple of times. Not more than a dozen times I guess. Nonetheless, it was not the money I cared about the most back at that time of the day.
What I never ever managed to find out then was how she wasn’t bothering my so called trustworthy guide. So I seriously had to inquire of her “Why on this stinky world don’t you go bite that redhead once for all?”
The fly girl spontaneously started laughing out of control. I was forced to grab her and ignore my disgust at all costs to get her response.
“We don’t care about him. We never do. We always knew he’s a total moron”, she confessed.
If she was speaking the truth as I feared, that made me the real imbecile there, second to none and probably a lot worse than Alex himself.
I was feeling sick when she began sniffing like crazy and suddenly asked me “You know, I don’t recognize that smell of yours, where are you from, my friendly goofball?”
She said that I am her friendly what? I couldn’t believe how she’d dare to treat me as true garbage in such a “friendly” fashion! Again, guys, I had to admit being one of Alex’s acquaintances wouldn’t ever prove my point, not even in the upcoming century.
“Yeah, feel free to laugh at my disgrace, flying mutant insect. It’s not like introducing yourself first would ever matter in such situations.”
After staring at me for a minute or two she stated clearly “Hey! It’s not like I wanna make you sad now. Actually all friends of mine are my dear goofballs, that’s all!”
Mysteriously, I lost the will to make a new friend that afternoon.
“So I can be your new friend, can’t I?” Alex babbled only to get that ridiculous request slapped out of that idiotic mouth, a peculiar courtesy of the burdensome fly’s tail.
Then she unexpectedly got a grasp of what I had asked of her and told me “Oh! Oh! You wanted to know that I’m a wyvern, a cute one indeed. It’s like being some sort of baby dragon but a LOT cuter!”
To me she’s still an excessively fat fly of sorts. Seriously, she’s nothing but an otherworldly fly!
First I met a good for nothing couple of sorts. Then I was introduced to some infamous fighter only to meet his deceased brother in his new ethereal form. And finally I had to stand such a creepy fly in the midst of no man’s land, where only vultures or similar birds would ever find my sorry body! How could my day get any worse? Damn it! I’d never say that, especially when I can’t tell for sure if that would bring impending doom upon myself!
Since my thoughts got me distracted, she yelled out “Hey! It’s definitely time for you to liven up right away!”
Degrading should be the best term to describe how I felt when she rubbed her cheek against me.
“Isn’t it cozy, goofball? Is it?” she kept asking me as if I cared to listen to her usual nonsense.
So I bitterly uttered “Stop, you Silly! I barely know you, and I’m truly pissed right now!”
My words had to be shocking for such a critter for she stopped mumbling, at least for a little while.
“Say, goofball, how did you know my nickname? I’m now extremely happy to see for the first time that somebody guessed my nick just like that!”
At that awkward moment I could only keep asking myself if the whole day hadn’t been a terribly stupid joke of some unknown foes that simply hate me from the bottom of their evil hearts.
“Guess what, my lovely goofball? I’m just feeling like I should stick to you for a day or two or maybe even longer!” she gladly exclaimed while harassing poor me.
Really, my eventual readers, I don’t know what’s wrong with Alex, he was jealous of me! Why would anybody have any reason to be jealous at all? Didn’t they know I had to share my lunch, my only true friend there, with that sorry drake wannabe? What a crappy day it was indeed!
There she went sniffing once again, like a lame puppy would do it when she doesn’t advert her owner wants to run away. Nobody would blame me for coming up with a terrific plan.
“Watch this! I’ve never seen this before. Can you tell me what it is, goofball?” she quickly queried as if I knew all the answers to the millions of mysteries of life. Oh yeah, I had to quit making such an unnoticeable, graceful, and magnificent exit, sadly.
Since that very moment I couldn’t stop thinking that somehow I had to go back to those crowded but also lonely streets where Alex had found me that unfortunate day…
