Enda (Boyxboy)

Chapter Three: Enda's Tragic Past

Something sticky and wet touches my leg. I lunge up in my sleep and hop to my feet. A huge leopard skinned snake slithers up and over Kindermin leaving him in his sleep. He simply mumbles a short 'away, go away' in his sleep and turns to face me. His eyes closed and his hand moving around my empty spot. Then he peeks through one open eye up at me. Tapping the spot beside him.

"Canton, Sleep." His husky voice commands.

I shake my head and look around us. The suns shining brightly. Twirling around each other like in a child's music box where the ballerina is being twirled around the guy, like that. It's so calming. I jump. A huge spiral of color in an eye is suddenly right beside me. I reach my shaking hand out. Then flinch as the eyes start to flap. Are these wings? I squint my eyes. Watching the huge butterfly fly away from me. So amazing. I screech as I'm flung back into Kindermin's stomach. He holds me tight and I struggle.

"Kindermin, let go." I demand, getting squished to death.

"Please, Canton, Sleep." Kindermin pleas. I sigh and let myself become limp in his arms.

"Will you show me the Island?" I ask, staring up at the huge clump of rock and grass high above with the clouds. The animals around us sing and play. Making me remember that this forest is their home and we're just guests in it. Kindermin tenses up and his stomach becomes hard. I look at him. Those once frightening eyes looking sleepily at me.

"Can't." Kindermin finally responds. I just nod.

"Okay, I get it. Can't go to the Island because we can't fly." I say, mocking Kindermin's deep husky voice.

"The Island bad place." Kindermin replies, making me look at him.

"Why?"

"Kindermin...bad." He says looking away from my gaze.

"No, Kindermin's good...to me. And only me." I say, truly wanting him to at least smile or smirk something. He just frowns more.

"Kindermin...likes Canton. Canton..beautiful. Kindermin...not." I frown after he says that. Then brush my hand against the hole in his cheek.

"What happened here?" I ask, changing the subject. Kindermin grasps my hand gently and pushes me away softly.

"Family hate Kindermin. Kindermin exiled from Island. Kindermin framed by Oralile." He explains, I nod.

"Who's Oralile?"

"Fire Prince." Kindermin replies, blinking his eyes as the sun blinds him. I smile down at him.

"What did the Prince do?" I ask, concerned. Kindermin sighs.

"Raped, murdered, a girl on Island. I took blame. Family hurt me. Made me this way. Bad person....I am." Kindermin says, I stare at him. Anger pulsing through my veins. I glare up at the Island.

"That Prince sounds like a conniving little bitch!" I hiss, angry.

"Oralile, very bad, bad leader, bad person, monster." Kindermin says, looking around at the critters.

"Is he the only Prince?" I ask, sitting down on the ground and crossing my legs putting my hands on the dirt in the middle of my legs.

"Oralile? No. Demise, Ice Prince. Oralile, Fire Prince." Kindermin answers, I play with the sand I'm sitting on.

"So 2 Princes? Why do you need 2?"

"Keep order. Enda needs order. If no order then Enda will die from war and famine. Islandmins will plummet to earth when the Island loses it's people." Kindermin finishes, I smile. He must be getting used to me. He's saying more.
