EPISODE 8

"where are you going Garrick".

She asked, giving him a questioning look.

"You can't get expect me to lie in bed forever I'm a soldier.I have to be healthy,so as to get back to work".

He stopped briefly,is lips forming into a wry smile.

"And ofcourse dear, walking around is also a form of exercis which can also enhance my quick recovery".

He said, limping out of the room.

He managed to limped out of his room for he first time,he stopped briefly leaning on the wall.His temples were covered in sweat.The pain was getting unbearable,but it what can he do.He had to continue exercising his leg.

After leaning on the wall for a while,he continue his way forward to the living room.His eye's lits up,when he saw his mom.

"Good morning mother".

Garrick smiled at her, leaning on the door frame before before limping  to her.

Looking at Garrick,she boomed into smiles.

"Good morning dear.......... shouldn't you be resting?".

She asked,her fave filled with worries.She watched,as he came forward and hug her.

"Don't worry mother,I will be fine.I have to start exercising this legs".

She nods her head,and sigh.

"That's true....,but why dony you pull out from the military?".

Garrick chuckled,as he played with his mother's hair.

"I'm afraid I can't mother, being a soldier of Cloud City is an honour. Besides,she pays her soldiers higher than other professions in the city".

He said, planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't worry mother,I will be fine".

Jemy took her deep breath, before looking at her son.

"Okay...but be careful".

Garrick nodded, before looking around.

"Where is dad?".

He asked.

"He is outside at back of the house, working on the on the pile of the rocks".

She replied,as she continue dusting the furnitures humming.

Garrick winced.

"Mom I gotta go,there might be something I can help him with".

He said, turning to leave.

"Okay then,be careful of your legs".

Garrick went through the back door, he leaned at the door frame again watching his dad breaking the rocks into bits using a sledge hammer.

"Hi dad".

He waved at Lucas.

Hearing his voice,Lucas turned immediately.

"Hey son".

He smiled.

"I'm glad you are finally getting better".

He nodded at Garrick, smiling.

"Thanks dad,how about I help you with that".

He said, taking the sledge hammer from his dad.As he limps closer to rocks, hitting the sledge hammer on them breaking them into pieces.

Lucas studied his son for a while,he was indeed happy that his son is finally getting better.

Darl sat by the corridor of the palace.He was in a deep thought.

Molly came out,from another end humming a song.Stepping her feet into the porch,she noticed Darl.

Seeing him,she already knew something is off about him.Ofcourse,the Darl she knew isn't the kind of person that will sit beside the corridor.Rather, the Darl she knew will at important places,his proud behavoours and his well designed hair.

But the Darl sitting besides the corridor, looked depressed.His hairs were disheveled,his proud shoulders had dropped despsir and pain were clearly written on his face.

Noticing all this, Molly's eyes narrowed as she walked up to him.

"Hey Darl, what's up with you today".

She asked smiled, walking up to him.

Hearing Molly's voice,Darl snapped out of his thoughts.He replaced hosy icy looks with a masked smile.

"Go away Molly, I'm not in a good mood today".

He said, turning his back on her again.

Molly walked up to him,and stood by side.Putting her soft palms on his shoulders.

"You will tell me whatever it is,that is bothering you.Atleast we have been through alot together".

She said, giving him an angelic smile.

Hearing this, Darl turned around unexpectedly that Molly almost fell into his arms.There was only a slight distant betwey their lips.

Molly quickly took advantage of the opportunity.

"What happened Darl,you seems to be on your opposite side today".

She said, folding her hands below her breast.

Darl sighs.

"I provoke Erimense,and we sparred together yesterday.I used one of the black art techniques on him.I even killed him.But the next moment he resurrected and he became suddenly powerful,it was like seeing another version of him.If mom had not intervened,he would have destroyed me.I am not is match Molly".

He looked at Molly,befy turning away.He tried hiding his shaky hands by folding them into fists.

Molly grinned,she looked at Darl as of she wasn't going to say anything.

"I heard it too,but I hate Erimense.I can't believe how he suddenly became so powerful. I'm sure he might have found a treasure,or an hidden secret".

She nodded in support of what Darl said,as she began thinking.

"I know where I can take you, to increase your powers.But you have to be very patient with me.We will go there together after the duel".

Hearing this ,Darl brighten up.He grabbed Moly,and pulled her into his laps.

"Oh Darl,you seems to be cheering up now".

She said, giving him a surprise look.

"Oh yes,why wouldn't I.My woman had promised to take me somewhere, that can make me more powerful".

He said, returning back to his arrogant behaviours.He stared into her eyes for a while.

"I failed to realise how beautiful you have become Molly".

He said, staring at her lips.

Molly smirked at Darl.She already anticipated everything.

She closed her eyes,as Darl claimed her lips with his.The kiss seems to last for eternity for Molly,but Darl stopped.

Darl grinned as he stare into Molly's eyes.

"I will see you later Molly,but there is something I need to do first".

He said, planting a kiss on her forehead before teleporting out of the palace.
