XII: TEACHER

INSIDE THE TEMPLE, EVANGELINE WAS healing Kaira. She was still out cold from their encounter. Sevidon was back to deciphering the writings on the pillars.

Evangeline was feeling a bit uneasy with Glaivel watching her do magic.

“Could you please do something else instead of eyeing me?” Evangeline said.

“I just couldn’t believe that you did this again. I mean, attacking us was like, not enough for you—”

“Yes, and I knocked her out just like what I did to you,” Evangeline interrupted Glaivel. He was silenced and just whistled out of awkwardness. Evangeline concentrated back to healing their new ally.

“I’m going to get us some wood to cook the boar,” Sevidon suggested.

“Oh, no need,” Evangeline answered, her eyes still on Kaira. “I can start the fire on my own, don’t worry.”

Sevidon nodded and grabbed a fruit from the basket and stayed at a corner. They were all eating the fruits as they heard someone coming. It was Ravaen, barely walking inside the temple.

His wings hung as he held his left arm. Evangeline and Glaivel saw him and were a little bit stunned with what happened to him. He continued walking until he threw himself down the side of a pillar and rested. Ravaen noticed everyone’s puzzled faces.

“Don’t even ask,” he said to them. Glaivel continued eating the fruit while Evangeline looked at Kaira again. Sevidon walked out of the temple while Ravaen still attended to himself and noticed the boar. “Where did you get that boar? And who’s she?” he added as he saw a strange girl lying beside Evangeline.

“This is Kaira, and oh, she brought the boar,” she said. “What happened to you? You look messed up.”

“Well, I was about to snag that boar—” he said as he tried to stand, “ – and then she dashed through the forest and beat me to it.” He gave up and rested. He moved his arms in a rotating motion. “And before I can even say it, I already found myself crashing through the trees.”

Evangeline giggled a little.

“You think that’s funny?” Ravaen said, slightly annoyed.

“No, no. it’s just that—” then she burst out a laugh, irritating Ravaen more.

“Just do what you’re doing and after that fix my wing.” He successfully stood up and walked out the temple, slightly dragging his right leg.

Glaivel finished up his apple and stood up to grab another fruit and stood beside the girls. He took off his cape then put it to his side.

“Can I ask you a question?” he asked Evangeline.

“What is it?” she answered, half concentrating on healing Kaira.

“How old are you exactly?” he stared at Evangeline. She arched her eyebrows as she turned towards Glaivel.

“Well, okay. But why exactly?” she mused.

“Just curious how young you are,” he softly protested then laid his back to the floor. “And besides, I want to know my neighbors a little bit more.”

Evangeline shook her head and continued working on Kaira. She was about to reply to Glaivel. She suddenly heard a growling sound coming from Glaivel. Her eyes widened and slowly looked at him.
