Chapter 15

“Rise and shine sleepy head!” A chirpy voice jolted Space from his sleep… “Ugh, Lefty… Why did you do that?” Space groaned as he opened his eyes… Suddenly, Space yelped in surprise as his vision focused on the canine lass… Sure enough Lefty was in front of him, but she was floating… Space was clearly taken back by seeing Lefty just hovering in front of him…

“*Chuckle* Cause… It’s time to get going, and you’re the last person to wake up! For pity’s sake, even Princess is already up!” Lefty giggled as she heard Princess protest something behind Lefty that she knew all too well… Space rolled his eyes as he slowly stood up… “Ugh, okay. But may I ask as to why you are just floating about?” Space raised a concerned eyebrow at Lefty… Lefty flashed a big toothy grin at Space and set herself back down on solid land again… “Cause I can if I want to, and also Cat says that as long as it keeps my leg from having so much pressure on it then she couldn’t care less…” Lefty deviously smiled at Space…

Space shrugged, “Fine, as long as you don’t just pass out suddenly…” Space frowned as he grabbed his armor and started putting it back on... “I think I’m already pretty aware of that thanks to Stripes’ compliant last night, remember?” Lefty grinned as she looked at the wizard behind her… Space mumbled something and walked off, leaving just her and Stripes, since the rest of the group was still having breakfast over the put out fire….

Stripes shifted his feet along the dirt, “Err... So ya… Nice weather this morning, no rain…” Stripes mumbled as he stared at the dirt beneath his feet… Lefty sighed and rolled her eyes towards Stripes, “Okay, so out with it… You’re still concerned, right? Perhaps even a little bit guilty for arguing last night?” Lefty eyed Stripes while cracking a small grin… Stripes sighed as he rubbed the back of his head, “A little yes... But, I’m mostly just worried about this whole adventure… Since you know…. What happens in the third book…” Stripes frowned at the dirt still…

Lefty nearly facepalmed herself, “Stripes… You know that I was upset last night… But that doesn’t change anything! I easily repair…” Lefty frowned at Stripes for even thinking that, “Besides, we don’t truthfully know if that’s gonna happen in the third book or not! For all we know, we could still find a way back home without having to even deal with any weird ‘Prophet’ destinies…” Lefty grinned as she placed a paw around Stripes’ shoulder…

Suddenly Lefty’s cross necklace glowed a very bright blue in response… Lefty wanted to squeak in surprise but the glow around her necklace vanished as soon as it had come, making Lefty ponder why it had done that in the first place…

Stripes grinned a bit, “Fine… But, don’t do anything stupid or else…” Stripes teasingly flicked Lefty on the ear, causing Lefty to squeak in surprise as she snapped back into reality… “Okay! Okay! You win! I won’t do anything stupid!” Lefty giggled as she backed away from Stripes… “Besides, I can actually play superhero until we get home! How about you wizard? Wanna fly too?” Lefty grinned as her eyes glowed a familiar blue as she began to hover above the air…

Stripes grinned and quickly grabbed his wizard staff, making a rainbow-like glow from around himself this time instead of pink… Stripes quickly jumped off the ground and hovered with Lefty also, the duo now giggling as they tried to outdo each other’s height above the ground by hovering higher…

“And just what do you two think you’re doing now?” Shila grinned, as she emerged from the trees and back onto the road… “What do you know Stripes? From up here everyone looks like bugs!” Lefty laughed as she looked at Stripes with a big toothy grin… “I agree Lefty… What do you say we just fly up here until we reach the next village?” Stripes smiled as he flew around Lefty in circles… Lefty giggled as she twirled around in circles, making it look like she was a ballerina… “Better yet, why not just stay up here forever?” Lefty squealed in delight as she flew around in some zigzags…

“HAVE YOU TWO LOST YOUR MINDS?!” A voice below the two screamed, making both Lefty and Stripes jump in surprise the best you could in mid-air… Lefty looked down to see that Space yelling at them, and standing next to him was his little sister Cat, who both seemed like they weren’t very pleased at the moment… “Hey no fair! I want to fly too!” Princess whined as she deviously eyed the childish canines hovering in the air… Shila glared at Princess, trying to warn her not to say anything at moment, which made Princess immediately hush….

“Space is right Lefty… You guys need to stop encouraging each other to recklessly use your abilities! Lefty, what if you passed out from that height?! You would fall to your doom!” Cat screamed hysterically as she eyed Lefty… Lefty and Stripes sheepishly blushed as she slowly started to descend to the ground, feeling very guilty about that idea…. “Not only that, but you’re giving away our position! What if those shadows attack again!?” Space snorted… Lefty frowned and bent her head down, nervously pawing the dirt road…. “Sorry… Just trying to lighten the mood…” Lefty sheepishly grinned…

Space sighed and quickly cracked a smile, “It’s okay you two… I don’t think I could resist playing in the air either…” Space giggled... Stripes just burst out laughing, while Lefty managed to crack a small smile… Shila put her hands on her hips and let out a loud laugh, while Cat also cracked a small laugh… Princess had stifled a giggle, while the whole gang colasped on the ground laughing their insides out…

Lefty was the first to calm down, “Okay, *Chuckle* We need to get going now…” Lefty smiled as the rest of the gang picked themselves up…

About an hour and a half had passed while the gang traveled along the dirt path, leaving everyone’s muscles aching and screaming for a break… “Stripes how much longer…….” Princess whined for the 5^th time in the last seventeen minutes… Stripes sighed and rolled his eyes, as he studied the map once more, “Okay Princess, this is the last time I tell you that we should be there before noon… Just keep your eyes on the sun, and when it reaches the highest point in the sky you can ask once more, ok?” Stripes grumbled as he looked at the map’s locations again…

Princess didn’t seem satisfied by this, as she kicked the dirt on the road, making dust trails for everyone behind her… Out of all of the gang Lefty seemed to be the most tired, she had given up using her ‘light powers’ to levitate and continued to drag along the ground… When Lefty would do this, Cat would occasionally poke or prod Lefty until she focused herself back up off the ground… But eventually Lefty had become too tired to even do this, as she flopped her feet back down onto solid earth… “Okay, I’m done now… Can’t we rest for a smidge? Otherwise one of you will be stuck carrying a passed out Prophet to the village…” Lefty groaned in a harsh manner, as a frown spread across her face…

Cat put her paws on her hips and silently nodded in agreement, “Lefty does have a point. Why not take a break? It’s not like we need to kill ourselves just getting there…” Cat cracked a small smile as she looked at the dead tired group… Shila smiled in agreement as she wiped her forehead, “Ya, it’s hot out here… But then again it could just be my thick fur coat…” Shila giggled as she shifted her gear on her back to make things a bit more comfortable…

Stripes stopped and whipped around to face the group, “But we can’t stop now! We’re only a few minutes from the village!” Stripes whined in disappointment as his tail dropped, obviously in a hurry to get off of the dirt road… Space smiled along with Stripes as he nervously rubbed behind his neck, “Ya I think we should keep going… We are only a few minutes away and I’d really like to rest there…” Space twitched his tail irritably, but then stopped after he noticed he was doing so, “Err… But that depends on what our leader thinks…” Space nervously grinned as he faced Lefty…

(Our leader? I didn’t think I was really one of those…) Lefty blushed in embarrassment as she looked at all of her friends… “Um, wow… Err I didn’t really think I was much of one of those but-!” Lefty’s ear flicked as a roar echoed ahead of the group, making everyone scream in surprise as they dropped everything and quickly grabbed their weapons… Lefty swore that she had seen something moving along the path way, but the roar quickly became too deafening and had made the wind pick up even faster until the gang had to close their eyes to avoid being stung by the dirt in the air… Lefty felt like every bit of her body was going to blow off any minute, but suddenly the wind died down and the roaring could be more easily distinguished to a voice… “Lefty is that you?! You’re in a whole lot of trouble young lass!” A voice screamed as the sound of pawsteps came running towards them…

Both Stripes and Shila immediately ran up to Lefty to cover her, as Space stood in front of them ready to pounce… Cat had managed to squeeze in with Lefty as she looked ahead in horror… Princess however had slung her small axe over her and was swinging it behind the group in case something decided to attack them from behind…

The voice sounded nearer and angrier as the patter of pawsteps increased in beat, “You have got a whole bunch of explaining to do! You and Stripes both!!!!” The voice growled, even though the gang still couldn’t see the figure’s details quite yet as it ran towards them faster…

(Me and Stripes both?! What about the rest of us? And why does that voice sound so darn familiar?! What exactly is going on?!) Lefty panicked as she slumped back further into the huddle…

:O I wonder what's going on? Tune in next week to find out! ^_^ And will Lefty and the gang ever get back home? :/
