The Thistle

The Thistle
Api


The rain abated, the Nerdian sky brightly cloudless and


The star of Memra began to dim. There is no reason to stay


the border, with grass as wide as the eye can see. Even in this meadow


there are no wild animals or criminal-brained humans, but they are not


comfortable to be in the open area when night falls.


”We go home now?” haggard OzzHog. More


precisely reign with soft tones.


FayLinn stared at the look in OzzHog's agitated eyes. In the time that


the rain had subsided earlier, he did not look this sad. He became unsettled


when FayLinn conveys his desire to see OzzHog making fire.


”No before I see fire.”


”You've seen fire?”


FayLinn.


”Then how do you know if it's fire or


no?”


”Grandfather told me. That fire


banned in Nerdia.”


”Your grandfather just told me. Then you don't know


what is fire like, right? I could have lied to you, made a fake fire.”


”You can't lie to me. I've never been


seeing you making fire.”


OzzHog gulps. Apparently, he should


be careful talking in front of FayLinn. This kid is too smart to


child his age. It is not surprising that his father was the former leader of Enya.


”The fire is forbidden, where might I make it.”


”You made it on the plantation. I saw it.”


”When?”


”Middle of the night. And I'm so mad at you.”


OzzHog is brain-twisting. The language he spoke


on FayLinn must be the same as what is received by WinkGef. When father and


the boy confirmed each other, could end his history.


”I did not make it, because it is forbidden.”


”I don't want to fight with you, OzzHog.


Just show me how to make it. So I know why the fire


banned in Nerdia.”


”Hmm, and you want to see something forbidden.


If your father finds out, he'll punish you.”


”Dad never punished me.”


”After this you must have been punished.”


”No when you don't tell dad.”


OzzHog rubbed his arms, trying to ease


agitatedly. He started to get cold, because of his wet shirt. The Memra star


it fades, and the air gets colder. OzzHog observes FayLinn's shirt and her hair


the dry ones! Did BirdNerd's feathers have absorbed all the water in the


her body? Looks like OzzHog needs to give it a try, let BirdNerd incubate him.


BirdNerd who was busy cleaning his body. Dunk


his beak to every part of his body, then wiggled the whole body, and,


until splashing water. Even BirdNerd can dry its own fur.


”OK, I won't tell your father. We


agree on this. Everything about today is our secret. But, uh,


need I tell you, hey smart boy. Fire cannot be made if everything


wet.”


”Means?”


”Fire is a burning material. He can only


formed when the surroundings are dry. When wet like this, will not be able to.”


OzzHog raises his sleeve, and FayLinn can


see water dripping at both ends.


”Why are you that wet, I'm not wet?” ask


FayLinn was astonished, raising his sleeves. No water dripping.


”So, I can't make fire, right?”


”You can dry your clothes with BirdNerd.”


”OK, it looks like it's worth a try.”


OzzHog ducked in front of his BirdNerd. Then


slowly go to the bottom. BirdNerd jumped, probably feeling amused. Or


feeling wet. OzzHog chased after him while ducking. BirdNerd is getting more and more


stayed away. They even started kicking the ground.


”He does not want, ” exclaim OzzHog while looking at


faylinn Direction.


OzzHog stood up annoyed, pulling his BirdNerd arm.


His BirdNerd only glanced at him with his round eyes.


FayLinn approached BirdNerd, then stroked


the feathers. He murmured, as if whispering something.


”See, he's ready.”


Miraculously, BirdNerd was obeying FayLinn's orders. BirdNerd


stretch both his legs. Like just peeing. FayLinn sent OzzHog


get into the fur. OzzHog ducked slowly, then curled up below


Faylinn BirdNerd. The BirdNerd cupped its wings, making OzzHog feel


so comfortable and warm. Being in the BirdNerd groan, like in his room


only, who was always warm with the fire he made hidden.


OzzHog closed his eyes feeling a deep warmth


birdnerd. He almost fell asleep so comfortably. Skin pores


no longer wet, all the water as if sucked by the feather BirdNerd. FayLinn's right.


from the crybaby girl, that she had knowledge of the BirdNerd


unknown to others.


OzzHog gushed his face from behind the feathers


Birdner.


”FayLinn.. You are right. I feel dry.”


There is no lawfulness. Silent, silent and dark.


OzzHog jumped out of his arms


Birdner. FayLinn's missing.


Ooo


Any deal or secret becomes no


means if FayLinn can't get him home before midnight.


WinkGef wouldn't fire him, but chop him up. OzzHog is aware


his mistake. He should have been wary of his anxiety earlier. Unrest


because the day started to darken, and FayLinn asked to make a fire.


OzzHog only makes fire in his house. And workers


no one knows where and how he made it. When there is


who knows and the news reaches the ears of King Orla, he can be hanged. Thankfully


WinkGef never reported to Enya that her garden had been burned by fire. Although


what WinkGef knows is that the fire was made by BirdNerd Black. But, uh,


if King Orla finds out, it could be all Enya will stir up the contents


the WinkGef plantation and it is not impossible that OzzHog will end up at the stake


hangers.


But apparently, even as Enya's ex, WinkGef


not the one who sided with the government. He's protecting OzzHog, man


King HazelFog, the enemy of King Orla. A conclusion that becomes a personal note


Ozzhogs. And that makes OzzHog have to be good at behaving and pulling hearts


WinkGef to survive on WinkGef plantation.


For today's events, OzzHog will have to search


a thousand reasons, so that WinkGef would understand him. As he put on fire


appeared in his garden.


OzzHog grunting. He has to find FayLinn.


In this kind of dark condition, it seemed impossible. He's also impossible


yelling out to call out like a desperate man. OzzHog riding his BirdNerd, and


fly slowly. He sure can find FayLinn. This grassland is very


broad, there was no way he could just disappear.


In the distance, he saw a dim light. That


it is not from the fruit of Rouya. That's Fire. OzzHog got off BirdNerd, because


approaching that light with BirdNerd will make a sound. Is there anyone else


besides him and FayLinn in this meadow since? Seems not to


in all probability. The light moved slowly.


OzzHog approached that light, running fast without


sound in the dark. Her skills as Enya of Gardenia, a kingdom


near South Nerdia, is a quick run with no sound. All body movements


he can do it quickly. King HazelFog called him Enya Flash. And


OzzHog was grateful, for this quick move, FayLinn had never seen it.


Or the girl will often force him to demonstrate it.


As the light got closer, OzzHog lowered


his speed ran, then walked sagging. In front of him, there was a line,


like human. Walk slowly, with the man in front of himself


carrying a fire placed on a log. That line of people


following in an orderly manner to which the man in front carries fire. They


towards Nerdia. OzzHog can't count how many they are, and he


they also cannot recognize who they are. But walk in the dark with


fire, they're not Nerdians. No one can make a fire


besides King HazelFog and the three Enya. Enya Flash, Enya Monk and Enya Roth.


Who they are and what their purpose is to Nerdia.


Suddenly, OzzHog who was ducking was hit


something from behind, and there was a noise. Faylin. OzzHog direct


grabbing FayLinn's gesture in the dark.


OzzHog pulled the little girl in his arms,


smothering his mouth, holding it tightly, then subduing his body. He sure, the voice


FayLinn was heard by whoever brought the fire.


”What are you doing, ugly boy?” whispers of OzzHog


faylinn Ear.


The girl thrashed, OzzHog loosened his embrace.


FayLiin breathed a heavy breath.


The line stopped, OzzHog watched the fire


man is brought in the front row, directed here and there. Apparently they


I heard FayLinn's voice. OzzHog again smothered FayLinn's mouth, the girl


thrashed. OzzHog was not sure, the line did not hear the voices of the two of them in


this desolate meadow.


”Spread, find what it is! Don't get away.”


OzzHog. They are not ordinary people.


”FayLinn, we have to go. These guys


dangerous, ” whispered OzzHog trying to calm the struggling FayLinn.


A moment later, OzzHog ran silently


while holding FayLinn. Forced, this girl knows Enya's abilities


had it. What can I do. They both had to leave the field immediately


grasses. Unfortunately, OzzHog was unable to find BirdNerd


abandonment. Then the only way is to run towards Nerdia.
