Elenia Legacy: Hero's Reborn » Places

         

Just when she had finished her little speech towards her darker-haired companion, the winged guy grabbed him, spun him around and gave him a hard slap in the face. Audra turned around as well to see just what had happened - especially to learn what had set the boy off into doing such a thing. Before, he had seemed to be quite well-mannered, even chivalrous, but apparently, the black-haired boy had done something that had gotten on his nerves.

“I don’t know where you came from nor do I particularly care. But as you can see, you are not dreaming. This isn’t some figment of your imagination, and neither is it a ploy by the people you know. You’re on my home planet of Elenia. If you insist on traveling, I’ve no choice but to accompany you; seeing as you know nothing of this place or its inhabitants.” He gave a slight bow that just served to allow Audra to take a closer look at his wings. They didn’t seem to be some thing that was strapped on to his back - to the best of her knowledge, it appeared as though they were seriously attached to the boy’s back directly. “Consider it my obligation to work for such knuckleheads.”

Audra hoped that the boy wasn’t addressing her in any way, but as there was no possibility that his rage wasn’t directed just at the boy - in her opinion. Her grey eyes flashed with anger; no one insulted her reasoning, even if they were winged people. “Excuse me!” she spat out, with a slight tinge of injured pride. “Exactly what is your reasoning behind calling me a knucklehead.” Then, knowing that she really shouldn’t be losing her temper - not in whatever this place was - in front of people, her voice became quieter, but still brought with it an aura of anger. “If you’ll insist on doing such distasteful things such as insulting someone, do you really think that your information would be helpful? Do you think that I’d believe you?”

She took a deep breath before continuing. “Let’s put it this way so that even someone like you can understand it. There is no way according to the laws of physics as we, humans, know them that we can be on a different planet without actually traveling. We can’t be on this planet - Elenia, you called it - because about just a little while ago, we were on Earth. How do you suppose that we’ve ended up here then? If something is impossible, then do not have the impudence to suggest it like an everyday occurrence. Now, Flyboy, what kind of reasoning did you use to come up with your ridiculous conclusion because I have to say that your reasoning makes no sense whatsoever. You might as well go and get a new brain implant with the way that you think.” That berating of the sheer idiocy of that winged boy seemed to make her a bit more pleased than before, but she still looked, almost glared, at the boy.
