บท 14: Chapter 13: In the halls of the Mountain Princess
The hall seemed like a maze to me; the only thing I knew that I was high up in the palace. And that the Bathing Chamber was on the first floor.
I looked through the door of the Guest's Bedroom, which now looked like a battlefield.
The plaster near the bed was cracked and crushed by the many impacts it had suffered during the unstoppable rage of the Priestess.
The bed itself looked like it was mauled by an angry mountain troll. And a sweaty mountain troll at that!
The room smelled like sweat, jizz and whatever other smell a teenage human body can produce..
I felt pity for the servants that had to clean up the mess.
While gazing upon the ravaged room, my ears heard sandaled feet coming toward me with great momentum.
I turned around and a orange eyed, blonde boy came running toward me; it was Hyseau.
''HEIRO!! CATCH ME!!''
I was just able to turn around when he jumped against my sticky body.
He noticed instantly that I was a bit more adhesive than he expected, feeling that he was now glued to me.
He rubbed his face against my with great affection. And then licked my face.
"You smell funny, Heiro. And you taste salty. How did that happen?''
Hyseau looked me in the eyes with big Orange eyes; he looked like a ball of pure innocence. I sighed and plucked his arms of my shoulders.
He clung to me with his legs and bent backwards to stand on his hands. When he got his hands on the ground I grabbed him carefully by his legs. He let go off me and he now stood on his hands.
''You are quite the little acrobat, aren't you Hyseau.''
His face was starting to become red, due to the blood rushing from his feet to his head.
''The room looks a lot more organized when you look at it from this perspective.''
I laughed, feeling glad that someone was having a different view of the situation. I told him that I did not know the way around here.
And that I really needed a shower and clean clothing. He nodded, and grabbed me by the hand.
"This way, Heiro. We need to go downstairs, but there is no time for stairs!!''
I raised my eyebrows slightly. He pointed toward what looked like a pair of firefighter's poles. I had no time to thing about the possible risk of such a long descent.
As Hyseau already jumped towards the pole, wrapping around it tightly with his legs and gripping it with his hands. He grinned wide and screamed:
''The last one downstairs has to make breakfast!!''
He disappeared into the abyss of staircases. I took a deep breath and decided that breakfast was waiting for me, so it was worth the risk.
"GERONIMO!!''
I cried out and jumped, grappling the pole as firmly as possible.
My hands were still a bit slick, so the slide downward went with great ease. Before I was halfway down I passed Hyseau who looked at me with surprise and wonder in his eyes.
''I won't let you win that easily, Heiro!''
He screamed at the top of his lungs while letting completely go of the pole, going for freefall.
I rolled my eyes, not allowing myself to be beaten by someone younger than me I released the pole, making a dive toward Hyseau.
He was now slightly in front of me and he pointed toward a pile of pillows who were stacked over a wide surface at the bottom of the poles.
I turned toward my back, spreading my arms and legs as wide as I could.
With my eyes closed and a loud yell thundering from my throat I fell into a sea of marshmellowlike softness. I bounced up a bit, and landed on my feet.
Before I was even able to find stable footing, I was glomped by Hyseau and fell over again.
Who was giggling without stopping. He looked at me and yelled in my face with a big smile:
''HAHAHAHA!! I WIN, I LANDED FIRST, I WIN!''
I patted him on the head, feeling that he deserved that for his near suicidal act of brinkmanship.
Hyseau suggested that I should turn around. Feeling a bit suspicious, I turned around. With a quick motion he tore a pillow of my back which was stuck to my skin.
''Hihi, you really need a bath, Heiro!''
He grabbed me by the arm, right on the spot where Dya's fingernails were still imprinted into my skin. I started to feel light-headed thinking about it.
I let Hyseau drag me with the velocity of a racing steed through the hallway. When I recognized the vicinity of the Dining Hall, and tore my arm away from him.
He held on to it too tightly, and it really started to sting.
He looked over his shoulder and noticed that I was outpacing him, losing my towel into progress.
Properly inspired by my naturalistic attitude; he kicked off his sandals and pulled his flaxen tunic over his head.
He threw the tunic into the hallway, which smashed against the wall like a bag of bricks; it appeared to be a weighted vest!
I looked over my shoulder, seeing the now naked boy charging toward me, and the Bathing Chamber, even faster than before.
I was starting to run out of breath, so I made a final sprint towards the door. My pride did not allow me to lose a second time to this brazen little runt.
The door of the Bathing Chamber was closed, but not locked. I was unable to stop, so I jumped into the air with my feet in front of me:
"DYNAMIC.. ENTRY!!"
I yelled as loudly as I could before my feet made contact with the sturdy wooden door.
Hyseau was gliding through the hall. He looked at me with his big Orange eyes while my feet bashed the door out of its hinges; splintering the wood and causing the door to fly into the Bathing Chamber.
I flew through the Chamber, landing face first into a small swimming pool filled with ice cold water.
The cold water robbed my body of all the heat that had been building up in my body. I was still out of breath, so I swam to the surface letting out a loud cry as I surfaced from the freezing waters.
''HAHA! VICTORY IS MINE!! TAKE THAT, HYSEAU!''
I flexed my muscles and looked around me. Six eyes were staring at me.
Two with total amazement, four in utter shock; four Orange, and two Light Grey.
