5 Days to the Journey
-HYDRALIC PALACE GARDENS-
Sakura skipped into the garden joyfully, juggling with the emerald gem she retrieved two days ago at the Xhetzuku.
Her mood was soaring. The Queen of the Gaire Kingdom was successfully healed using the powers of the emerald. This time, hopefully, Sakura prayed, Her Majesty's good health will last forever.
Stopping in front of some Orinties, colorful bunches of puny flowers, Sakura smiled.
A cheery day it is, with the white Fuyu birds singing to the steady flow of the Qrekken River. Fuyu birds are white-coloured all over, with long, twin tails with curly ends. There is a small, cute horn on their heads, serving as a weapon for the fragile flying critters.
Redwood trees acted as a natural canopy, sheltering our princess from the blinding rays of the beaming sun. Derullyusses shone in the faint light, and juicy Xed mushrooms are ready to be plucked from the ground. Xed mushrooms are purple in colour, but are quite tasty.
'Hmm... a visit to the forest might be a good idea...' Sakura thought, grinning to herself. She scooped up a handful of Orinties and walked to the forest, a small bounce in her every step.
-THE KEEPER'S FOREST-
Encyllis sat beside the window of his small house, sipping his coffee peacefully. His bowl of Xed mushroom soup was still blowing out hot steams, a spoon half-submerged in the purple liquid.
A hurt dragon lying in his lawn caught his eye, and he rushed out to see it.
He gently picked the injured dragon in his arms and sighed, frowning slightly. "Pikki, you're always in a fight, ne?" He brought Pikki into his house and placed her on the counter in his kitchen. He took out a long white cloth from a drawer, and rinsed it under a warm stream of water.
Pikki the forest guardian tiredly tilted her head up and groaned as Encyllis came into focus.
Pikki has the job of taking care of the animals in the forest along with Encyllis. She has a lot to learn about the forest life, yet still she loved to fight, protecting her belongings or friends when the time calls. The blunt spikes at the back of her head showed that she is a female keeper. She has twin tails, acting as an extra pair of arms, useful for catching thieves and such. What's unique about this brave, big-hearted dragon is her pinkish-lavender feathers, and she is the only dragon dyed that colour in the whole population of Dragonyte. Other than that, she closely resembles Encyllis.
"Encyl?" Pikki squeaked shyly. Encyllis turned around, a vein popping in his head. He stared at his (work) partner in front of him, and sighed again.
"Stay still, Pik, you scratched your right wing... again." Encyllis folded the cloth in his hands into a rectangular shape, and stroked Pikki's slightly bloody wing with it. Thankfully, the blood wiped away easily.
"The eagles from Turrea Mountain are attacking the rabbits again! I had to help them..." Pikki pouted. Encyllis chuckled.
"It's the circle of life, Pik. We can't change it. The rabbits are gonna die anyway someday. You can't expect them to live forever. The food pyramid is set. Better let the eagles have them rather than to waste them off. At least one animal will benefit, whereas if the rabbit is rescued every time the eagle strikes, both will die anyway, and both species might get extinct sometime in the future. You get my drift?"
