Chapter 22
"Dear Diary,
Everyone was asleep including me. Grutle and Kankri were still out. I was wondering where they went. It's been a bit since I've seen them. There's no signal out here in the woods so I can't troll either one of them. What is taking these two so long? I feel like going out there myself and searching for them. I hope they're safe out there. Tesla is snuggled up on me. It's really cute. I love my little steampunk otter. Eridan is cuddled into me with his cape around the both of us. I love both of them. I'm glad I've got both of them in my life.
Sincerely,
Brooklyn"
Grutle
Holy turd! I just found his body. Panya and Brooklyn aren't gonna be happy. Kankri saw the cerulean blood all over the ground and me. I grabbed the body with my two tails and I made my way back to the campsite. "Babe, Who is this?" Asked Kankri. "Brooklyn And Panya'ssss dad. My brother killed him. Thissss issssn't going to go well for those two" I Said as I wrapped my tails around it. I began walking back towards the campsite. "Grutle, why does your brother want destruction? Everyone here was at peace, but war has started again because of him" Said Kankri. "He was raissssed that way. He's a sssspoiled douchebag as people call him" I told Kankri.
We made it to the campsite and I placed the body down. Every troll or human or otter was asleep so peaceful. Panya might be affecting everyone with her peace energy. I smiled and kissed Kankri's head. He was already practically asleep. I put him down and curled up around him. He smiled as he snuggled into my scales. My tail was over him to at least protect him from some of the cold. He was just peaceful. The forest was quiet, a soft breeze blew in, and the sounds of the forest was amazing. It was like someone cast a spell upon this forest to put anything in it to sleep.
This feeling reminded me of something. When I was smaller, my dad was never there. He died before I could even open my eyes to see his face. He was killed before I was even born. Serpentus took care of me, but not so well. He was a douche when he was little. The only troll who would care for me was Flazion. Flazion was a friend of mine and Malolo's. She would usually take care of me and message Malolo on her free time. She was like my caretaker. She was the ancestor of the Phoenix. She had scarlet blood so Hina hated that. Hina was in control of us at that time because my dad died. She was killed for supposedly "hurting me." She never did. She took better care of me than Hina ever did.
I remember Flazion would sing a lullaby to me to help me get to sleep when I was a grub. I began to remember the lyrics and I began singing it.
"Brother, sister, flick your tongue
and taste the flakes of autumn sun.
Use these last few hours of gold
to travel, travel toward the cold.
Before your coils grow stiff and dull,
your heartbeat slows to winter's lull,
seek the sink of sheltered stones
that safely cradle sleeping bones.
Brother, sister, find the ways
back to the deep and tranquil bays,
and 'round each other twist and fold
to weave a heavy cloak of cold."
Kankri smiled as he heard the lullaby. It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard as a grub. I kissed Kankri's head and laid my head down. I'm thinking after all this is over that I might want to have a grub with him. It's all on him though. I closed my eyes and kept my small matesprite warm as we slept through the night.
I woke up on Prospit as my normal self. I wasn't my hydra form at all. Everything was quiet. I walked around and came across a mirror. I saw my reflection and put my hand on the mirror. I than walked away from the mirror and made my way outside. I hate blood, wars, fighting, and death. I wish none of that would exist. I than heard yelling. I quickly opened my eyes and Brooklyn was crying on her dad's body. "Serpentus!" she yelled angrily. Tesla nudged Brooklyn, but she just cried. I sighed and walked up to Brooke and held her close. She hugged me back and I lowered my ears. "I-I want this p-poison to kill m-me. I can't h-handle this pain" she mumbled.
"You will never die on us. We need you on this journey. Your dad would want the same thing Brooke. Stay alive please" I said, trying to comfort her. I hold her closely and tightly. She calms down and cries into me. Eridan joins us into this hug. Panya just stood there quiet. "Doll? Doll?" Rufioh Said worriedly. Panya just sat there motionless. She took her horn off and leaned against Rufioh. "Dad is dead. I can't handle this. He nearly died, but now he is. I will kill Serpentus" she said as she wrapped her wings around Rufioh. "We will kill him and I promise that. That is our goal" I said. She nodded and closed her eyes. Eridan held Brooklyn close and comforted her to sleep. I put them down so they can sleep together. I than made my way back to Kankri.
I curled around him and he cuddled into me. "Grutle, what happens if you become like Serpentus?" asked Kankri. "I would never be like him. Serpentus was someone who wanted to kill all trolls and become a highblood. I'm scared of blood, but I got to try and ignore that fear for now. I will never go crazy like him, I promise you this" I told him as he smiled and fell asleep. I fell asleep right after him and smiled as I closed my eyes.
