A warm chuckle was revealed on Kai's face as he thought of a way to get Sophia to talk. He stood beside a tree and his hand held his chin, with his eyes closed.
"mhh, thank you for saving it, I really appreciate it." he thank her but his mind racing, 'wait, what did I just say? Thanked her, really, and I appreciate it, is it even the right way?'
Surprisingly, Sonia gasped, she felt touched by the way he said it.
She pretended as if she didn't like the way he thanked her.
"ohh, so cute," Kai's gaze widened in surprise, "guess who thought to be thankful? You are welcome though!" Sonia said going towards Kai.
"I have a question!" Kai said, with his orbs wide open, ready to fire that question shot.
"what is it, I'm all ears, as long as you don't repeat the same question over and over again." Sonia said as she moved towards a tree on Kai's right side to stand like Kai, balancing on it. She then closed her eyes and listened, with her emotions numb.
"Thank you for allowing me…"
"You are welcome!"
"So, you saved my piece of life right?"
"Yes!"
"So, how did you save it?"
Kai asked a mind and emotion piercing question. Sonia flinched, her eyes snapping open, but she then realized that the question had no harm as she looked at the tranquil Kai who had his eyes closed.
"Seems like you are clueless!" she sighed.
"Yeah, of course."
"When you arrived, you were shot by those guys who were in black hoodies, when they saw you falling, they thought that maybe you died since I came on time and sealed your loudy mouth." She said while she opened her left eye, peaking on Kai, trying to see his reactions. Unfortunately, he was as calm as a clam as he kept his eyes sealed.
"Ohh, thank you very much for doing so."
"You are welcome!"
"So why did they….."
"I can't tell you that!"
"ohh okay." he then started rubbing his absent mustache as he polished his next shot.
The quietness befell between the two, only birds chirped in the ever green trees that were around the place.
"So, where are we?" Akirion briefly asked a question, expecting an answer while his heart and mind raced as he thought that Sonia wasn't going to reply that question.
"LAND OF LOST SOU...!" She gasped, as she mistakenly threw up all the needed information.
Kai's head started to process the information he uncovered so far in background like a computer while he gave his ears to Sonia.
'Land of lost sou..., that can definitely mean soul or maybe salt. No, only soul resonates with the way she said it. And that sound I heard; *Welcome to the soul world*. That's usable eno….' his mind started printing all the information that was valuable until he was cut by Sonia.
" I've told you enough, not even enough, but more than you are supposed to know. To repay that favour, you'll have to serve me as my bodyguard for 4 years!" said Sonia as she gave Akirion a talking gaze, that got him sweating.
'Is she for real, how can I serve her, wait, serve her huh? That can be a good idea, but before that...' Kai silently said, as his left eye was open.
"So, are you up for it or you can tell this world 'good bye'?" Sonia sneered, as she saw Kai's face screaming in despair , as he snapped his eyes open and turned his head to the right where Sonia was, glaring at him. His neck was vibrating as he tried to sustain all the fear.
"Ahh, wait a second. How can I even serve someone who I don't even know ? You denied to tell me who you are." his eyes fastly reversed to their original place as he sneered in privacy. 'nailed it, now she's going to tell me about her, if I go with her, I'll try something, maybe to run away from her, easy peasy.' he said, in his inner voice as he closed his eyes and waited for Sonia's response.
Meanwhile, Sonia was also muttering in her heart, 'Nailed it, now he's going to be my servant, first one in forever. Yes! That tremble really gave me motivation. Now it's time for an introduction that will shake him off, hihi'. Her eyes turned down as she grinned like a Cheshire cat.
She then pretended to be earnest as she scarily deepened her voice. "You want to know who am I right?" Kai nodded, without even looking at her eyes.
"This world got kingships and more, with Princesses, Princes and other followers. Lies, truth, respect and betrayal is locked in there….."
Sonia continued talking, leaving Kain in astonishment.
'sup with the fairy tale, she's supposed to introduce herself not to give me a whole story. She's going to get me sleepy if she continues, and I won't even hear her name.'
".... Lies build up the foundation, with collapsing truth underneath. The truth can be hard to uncover, but one day it will be discovered, I'm living in shadows , with no one who knows my lifestyle, with keys always in my doors, like, always, just waiting for food, bath and sleep. With a bit of love, as 'heys' comes through the door, bursting my neutral ears….."
*yawns* Kai's eye's were being pulled together like a magnet while Sonia continued her long introduction.
"....so, if you uncover my truth, don't scatter it to the world, because I prefer peace and neutrality."
"Would you cut to the chase already?" Kai said his face filled with annoyance.
"okay, I was given birth by two humans who were….."
'who cares about who was born or so….' Kai's mind rushed in annoyance as he was craving for the name not the background story.
"…. were related to the throne."
Kai's eyes widened, as he heard about the throne.
'Does that mean that this world is controlled by kings, since she's talking about Kingship repeatedly?'
Sonia continued her introduction story,"So my father and mother are the throne leaders for this place, and that makes the beautiful, only beauty that is flashing in the woods a princess. And that reaches to the point where I have to surrender the name to your ears."
'pheww , at last, I'm even tired of holding my eyes from being attached to each other.'
Sonia paused, as she glared at the tranquil Kai who was staring at the ground, with his eyes reddened, since Sonia was telling a bedtime story.
Kai's patience was running thin as his ears were craving to swallow the name. 'speak up already!' his inner voice saved him since she didn't hear him.
"My name is..."
