"How! Dare! They!" A shrill shriek rang in the previously quiet room."Yawn~ Don"t yell so loudly."
"Are you not mad that they left us behind!?" the phoenix questioned.
"I"m glad they left. I can now sleep peacefully with no noise. You should go out too if you want to yell," Neko responded.
"But they completely ignored us!"
"Your just jelly that he took the dagger with him but left you," the cat said and snuggled deeper into the comfy seat.
"I am not jelly!"
"I know you are not jelly." The phoenix gave a smug smile, but that was soon wiped off its face when Neko added, "Your a bird."
"You!"
"What about me?" Neko said with an innocent look on his face.
"For goodness sake, don"t increase my work load."
"What"s our conversation got to do with your work load, Owly," Neko said, glancing his way.
"My name is Ibis. And if you fight, then you will destroy the furniture and it will be up to me to replace it."
"We weren"t fighting, we were having a conversation. A very interesting one at that. And you just had to interrupt the fun."
"It was not a conversation and it was not interesting," the phoenix said only to be completely ignored.
"As long as you don"t cause any trouble you can continue your "interesting" conversation," Ibis concluded.
"Whatever you say, Owly. By the way, what happened to Air and Games? I heard they wanted to make trouble at the towers (another name for the Archives)."
Seeing that he had a bit of time, Ibis decided to tell them. So the three of them settled down of a nice story.
"It all started when I was on my way back from Life"s castle..."
...Story...
"We"re going to die!" Games yelled only to be hit on his head.
"Don"t be stupid, G.o.ds can"t die," Air reprimanded.
"But, but, but..." Games seemed to be on the verge of crying. And as a kind-hearted owl (a snort was heard in the background), I could not just ignore this scene (he would throw a tantrum and destroy the orchard if I did). So I led them back to Star"s Pavilion so Atiri could keep an eye on them.
...back to the familiars...
The cat and bird looked at him expectantly. Clearing his throat, Ibis said, "That"s the end of the story."
Neko just gave him a black stare while the phoenix gritted its beak (cause it doesn"t have teeth) and said, "Your a horrible story teller."
"You asked me to tell you what happened and I did. I cannot be blamed for the fact that nothing interesting happened," he defended.
"To make up for your horrible story, you need to tell us something interesting!" the cat demanded.
"Yeah!"
Under their oppression, Ibis could only resign himself to say, "Well, the low G.o.ds thought that Archia was a new low G.o.d who would be punished for breaking the rules of the Archives. Oh, and Archia thought that I had betrayed her since Air and Games were not there."
"Only you can make those events seem so bland and boring, " the phoenix complains.
"There seems to be a lot of things going around lately because of their arrival."
"Oh, that reminds me, I saw Sun heading to Earth for a snack."
"Oh, we should go and check it out later. I haven"t been to the human world in a while," Neko proposed.
And so the three of them continued gossiping, completely ignoring the things that took place outside. Until...a soaked black-haired boy runs inside and slams the door behind him.
