Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Chapter 26 - Give Me Some Food Please



* Omer Adam - Haverot Shelah (Your friends) *

AN: Aye that's not English, it's actually Hebrew. And yes I do speak that :P

--------------------

*Draven's POV*

"Urgh..." a quiet moan escapes Draven's mouth as he starts to open his eyes.

*Sigh* His eyes scan the area quickly before he sighs tiredly.

"Now, now, why am I sleeping on the floor of some alien forest?"

'Hmm, two red blood moons and crimson sky, filled with huge stars. Oh look at that, two stars are 'touching'... did they just explode?' he thought, looking at the small white glow in the distance.

'Ah, anyway, we've also got crystal like trees... Yea pretty sure it's an alien forest.'

"..."

'Argh, do I have to get up now?

'Really?

'Ok, why am I feeling so sluggish?'

*Sigh*

"Welp, might as well face whatever bullsh*t awaits for me here." He says as he stands up and gives his body a rather lengthy stretch.

'Kinda glad I'm still in one piece, last time I got unconscious I was kidnapped and... bad stuff happened,' he shrugged at the thought of Lady luck.

Now that she's gone, old memories didn't faze him as much as they used to.

Looking around, he approaches the purple crystalline trees, "Is that crystal splendor plums?" he asks no one in particular as he examines the glowing crystal fruits.

'Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to eat alien fruits, or crystals for that matter. But dude it looks so good, and I'm starving!'

The fruit pulses with its natural colour as he grabs it.

*crunch*

"Holy hell this is good-"

All of a sudden, the world glitches white as time slows down to reveal scorching cotton-white flames burning in fury, evaporating everything and turning even air into dust.

*Back to the cave. The girls' point of view*

"Eh?" Camilla mumbled as she jumped away from Maria. "I can understand you being hungry and all, we haven't eaten since we came here and-"

"Yes!" Maria's enthusiastic voice made Camilla back away a few more feet.

"What's with that look?" Camilla asked pointing at Maria's widened eyes and drooling mouth. "I don't taste good I swear!"

"Ah I can fix that though" Maria said as she licked her lips. A hungry smile appeared on her face.

"Eh...? I'm sorry are you hungry for real or..?" Camilla stopped mid sentence, she knew Maria didn't have it for girls, what she saw in her eyes was what she thought a vampire's would shine with.

'Is it because of the transformation? But the little girl never looked at me in hunger' her mind started spinning at top gear.

Maria kept getting closer each second.

'Well, here goes nothing' Camilla thought as she drew a deep breath, "MARIA! I'M NOT FOOD!" she yelled.

Blinking twice, Maria looked like she's just awakened from a good dream.

Wiping the drool off of her face and slapping herself twice, she looked at Camilla and scratched her cheek apologetically, "Hehe, sorry".

"SORRY MY A*S! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Eh? Aren't you an S ranker? I'm just a nobody D ranker. And please refrain from yelling again, you don't wanna wake up the kid, do you?"

"Well duh! Of course not!" Camilla straightened her posture. "And no, I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of that!" she said, pointing at the sleeping girl near Maya. "One wrong move and I'm a shish kebab!"

"Hmm, Dra- Raven can be a bit cold and harsh," she shrugged, "but he's also a D rank only."

"You-" Camilla gritted her teeth to avoid waking up the sleeping girls with her curses. "How can you still believe that? That seemly poor little girl handled an A++ monster king, and it's f*cking horde!"

"True, but still-"

"No buts!"

"Eh-"

"Shhhh"

"..."

"What?!"

"I didn't say anything" Maria raised her hands in surrender.

It's true that for others, Raven would seem to be all powerful, but she new her soft side that made her and Maya love her so much.

What others knew as a cold person who looks down on everyone, was just a bird hurt in the wings.

Maria has seen and heard her cry way too many times to think of her is anything other than a child who needs help.

She needed trust, and so Maya and Maria provided. Raven obviously turned trust in such.

If she's told them she's a rank D, then she's a rank D.

"You didn't say it, you thought about it!" Camilla retorted.

"..."

"..."

"Umm-"

"Now what!?"

"Can we go hunting? I wasn't joking when I said I'm hungry"

"Aa-" She was about to yell again when she remembered Maria's hungry eyes that made her feel like a dead chicken in the grill. "Sure, here."

Camilla said as she summoned some food from her dimensional ring.

"Please tell me you didn't have that all the time and just made us starve for nothing. Heck, poor Maya slept without eating, and let's not talk about Raven!" Maria said as she pointed at the sleeping girls.

"Hey, you had a damn plasma shotgun kissing my head the moment I opened my eyes, and after that we were watching the recording!"

"Hmm, a little bit after you opened your eyes."

That made Camilla grit her teeth in sarcastic frustration.

"But still I can't forgive you!" Maria continued.

"I didn't ask for forg-"

"I don't care, anyway, thanks for the food!" She said as she stored two portions for Raven and Maya, and started digging in her own portion.

*Sigh* Camilla couldn't help but sigh and shake her head.

"How much food do you still have? And how come you have that in a ring, does it not go bad?" Asked Maria while munching on a piece of fried chicken.

"Well, not enough for a second serving. And, you're eating it... is it bad?"

Maria shook her head.

"Also, I always store food in my ring since I tend to go to space quiet often, for practice purposes or random EDA meetings. Let me tell you though, their food sucks!" She said as she stared stuffing her food with some fries.

"Uhm, B-" *gulp* *Cough* *Cough* Maria choked on her food as she tried to speak with a full mouth.

"Didn't take you for the gluttonous type. But it's alright honey, take your time, we're not running away." she said with a chuckle.

"Uhm" Maria nodded as she chugged down about half a bottle of water.

"I was gonna ask, why do you have so much fries on you, like almost everything is fastfood."

"Because I like it."

"Well, rather simple but ok!"

"What did you expect? A full sad anecdote where my family suffers and I end up working in a fastfood restaurant etc.?"

"Fair enough, well it's alright, I think the kids will like it.." She said and nodded her head towards them again.
