Seaflower - 28

 

The next morning Farren woke Tye up before dawn.” Or I hope you don’t mind me waking you, but there’s something I thought you would like to see you before we leave.”

Tye looked over at Farren, the boy’s eyes were wide with excitement. Tye couldn’t bring himself to get mad. He looked over at his goddess who is resting peacefully; her hair was over the pillow.” All right” he answered quietly as he touched her face.

“ you might want to wear these instead” Farren was holding out a shirt and pants.

Tye looked at himself in the mirror and then at the grinning kid in the background. Farren’s grin reminded him of someone we got everything they wanted plus morning care package, plus more. Tye stole a glance at his goddess who was sitting up holding a sheet up, she had the same grin. Tye wondered why as he looked back at the mirror. He touched the pants, trying to figure out what it was made of, it was the same color as bark of trees. His shirt was made of something different, it was cool and almost the same color as the seaflower.

“ Ready yet Sir?” Tye looked at Marion and realize that the kid was wearing the same thing. Tye thought that the kid would be bouncing had he had any less military bearing. Tye looked over to the goddess is simply nodded.

The second they were out of the house Farren pointed out to an open tree trunk.” We’re going up there.” The then sprinted to a tree, jump kicked off it to jump kick off the house and then he landed on a low branch. Farren did some cool tricks until he was high enough that he walked backwards and did a back flip up to the house, Farren looked over the edge “ you coming Sir?”

Tye materialized on top of the house next to Farren,” I’m here.”

“ jumping is part of the fun, Sir.” Farren said, he looked around and Kandice landed behind them.

“ Sorry, I was helping with breakfast.” She ran to the edge of the roof where there was a rail and looked on it facing them. She let go the route that stayed crouched with her hands together. Fran ran and jumped onto her hands she boosted him into the whole. She looked at Tye once and it was clear” want to try Sir?”

“ sure, all part of the fun.” He ran and jumps onto her hands and was listed that. Farren grabbed him and pulled him through the opening onto the branch.” If you would just step up a few steps back” a few seconds later Farren was on a stomach both arms into the hole as Kandice worked her way up.

Tye looked around, they were in the forest. It seemed packed with trees.”This Way, Sir” they ran with their backs to the color of the predawn. As they ran Farren explained about the hollow trees and how they grew, how are they were the main reason the roof didn’t collapse and how the caves received fresh air. They skidded to a stop near the edge. Tye picked up a rock and dropped it, It is almost a minute before they heard a soft bloop when it hit the water.

Farren held Kandice as Tye took in the sights. And first Tye couldn’t figure out why Farren picked this spot, then he looked out on the horizon. The seaflower and her fleet were in perfect formation. Dawn’s colors were slowly filling in the sky.

“ Thanks,” Tye on a segmented. Looking at the seaflower never got old.” So, what’s the best way down?”

Farren and Kandice grinned at each other.
