124 The Dream (1/2)
As they flew through the clouds, on a flying carriage which was made invisible using furtim. The horses were having a panic attack
They wouldn't stop neighing and thought they would die, but sylvia managed to put them to sleep using some sort of method
Meanwhile the three continued to play truth or dare
”Oh, it landed on Ariel” Said Serena
”Whose it gonna be?” Asked john
”Hmm, Serena, Truth, or... Dare?” Ariel asked
”Wha- Ariel you traitor!” Said Serena
”But I mean, you went for john last time, so we should go for someone else...” Said Ariel
John hastily nodded
”Fine, Truth” Said Serena
Ariel who heard this, made a small chuckle
”Fufu... Serena... Is it true that... You're afraid of heights?” Ariel asked
”Hoh, that's quite the good question, Ariel” Said john
”Yeah, sort of.” Serena nervously replied
”Hmm, See, that wasn't so hard” Said Ariel with a satisfied smile
”Why do you look so happy?” Asked Serena
The bottle started to spin again, While john looked like he didn't care. He was constantly praying that the bottle would land on anyone but Serena, and that it would at least choose him
As the bottle started to slow down, it pointed at Ariel, and then Serena and lastly... John.
An evil grin was formed on john's face as he started to chuckle
”Hehe...”
”Wha-” Said serena worried
”Hey Serena, Truth or dare? It's time for a little revenge...” Said John
”O-Oi, john, you look like of scary...” Replied Serena with a nervous expression
”It's just your imagination” Said John as his grin changed into a smile
”... Da- Truth...” Said Serena
”Ah, then, is there anyone you like?” John casually asked
”Oh, that's it? I thought it was going to be something different... But yeah, I like You and Ariel” Serena replied as she let out a sigh
That wasn't john's intention
”W-Wait, Serena, I meant romantically.” Said john
”Eh- But you didn't say that in the question so I can't answer that... Looks like you'll have to wait until your next turn to ask...” Said Serena who looked slightly embarrassed by john's question
[What's with this sudden change...? Can I take that embarassment as a good sign? Either way...]
”Yeah, but that will have to wait until tomorrow” Said john as he looked outside
”Why?” The two girls simoutaneously asked
”Because, it's getting pretty late” Said john as he pointed at the dark sky filled with stars
”Yeah...” muttered Serena as she stared at the stars
”Is that okay with you, Ariel?” John asked
”Mhm, the breese feels really nice from up here” Ariel replied
”Unfortunately, we're going to have to head down, If I fall asleep and lose focus then that won't end well”
”Thanks, Master sylvia is that fine with you? We're going down” John asked
Sylvia nodded, so john went straight into it
”Ariel, try to keep it balanced, while I lower it”
Ariel nodded and Serena grabbed on to her seat
Shortly after, the carriage started to slowly descend
***
”Crustallus aquae” Translation: Ice Cube
A giant ice cube was formed around the carriage, which covered a few trees and horses.
As the three laid on the carriage with a blanket over them, master leaned on her seat. John wasn't sure how she could sleep in that position, but her eyes were closed so it probably worked
As john looked at the two girls who laid beside him, he wondered if it was really alright for everything to be going so peacefully.
[I got stronger... But why do I still feel like it isn't enough?] Thought john as he closed his eyes
He had another bad feeling, was he being sensitive? Or was he just afraid of going back into the dungeon? John wasn't sure, but he decided not to think to hard on it for now
As he was about to fall asleep, he heard whispers, it as Serena was talking to Ariel, but it wasn't any of his business so he just ignored it and fell asleep
---------------------------------------------------
John opened his eyes and looked around
He was in the air, as he looked down, he noticed that there were a few people on the ground. He couldn't hear what they were saying or tell what they were doing.
But they felt familiar. As john focused to see who it was and hear the conversation, he noticed that one of the guys felt familiar. He had long Spikey hair which was half black and white tied up in a pony tail.
