The Thistle
6 - Nerdian Academy


 


 


Nerdia Academy is a joy for children


patricians. A magnificent building, no less magnificent with the mansions of the Nerdian nobility.


Surrounded by seven types of Rouya trees that rise into space, with a variety of


swing bertelabangan on its branches.. The lawn is so large, even


so tired to go through it.


The Nerdian Academy was the second place


fun in Nerdia for FayLinn. In this academy, he could meet with


children of nobles from all over Nerdia. Even those that come from


South Nerdia and East Nerdia, living in a dormitory behind the Academy.


Complete with his servants.


Since his mother died, there is no more


what a fun place for FayLinn. Whether at home or in the academy.


To him, the children in the academy were always having fun without paying attention


his sadness. They easily laughed and feasted on Rouya Pasta


the courtyard while playing a swing, leaving FayLinn in the Library Room,


looking at them from a distance. Those kids aren't as friendly anymore, though,


take her swinging together.


”I know why they won't play with me


now, ” murmured FayLinn sadly.


”That's not true, dear ..” said someone who


suddenly stood beside him.


FayLinn turned his head and found LouElla, the teacher


history looked at him while smiling kindly. LouElla stroking FayLinn's hair.


”Because I no longer bring Whim cold. What


they don't know that mom is dead?”


”Whim cold ?” ask LouElla while she leads


FayLinn moved away from the window, taking her to a wooden chair


from the trunk of the Red Rouya tree.


The Nerdian Academy, although its students are


the children of the wardens, but they were not only in contact with Rouya Green


just. All kinds of Rouya are here. Chairs of various types of Rouya tree trunks,


books of various types of Rouya fiber, and Rouya fruits are available in each


corner room. Of course the Green Rouya is quickly depleted, even once upon a time


the teachers ask the child to taste another Rouya.


”Tell me about the cold Whim, it looks like


delicious, ” pints LouElla, trying to cheer FayLinn up.


”My book is good at making Whim cold. Whim from fruit


Rouya Red is on the plantation. It tastes much more delicious than Whim Rouya


Greener. All my friends love my mom's Whim. But now, they don't


want to be friends with me again, because I didn't bring Whim anymore ..”


LouElla listened attentively


the heart of his student. But, FayLinn's outpouring of heart sounded strange in his ears.


It's not about him being shunned by his friends for no longer sharing


Wim. But it's about the cold Whim.


”Maybe Bu Lou can help you make Whim


to share with your friends, but Ms. Lou doesn't know how..”


FayLinn stared at LouElla, ”Nobody can


made it besides my mom. He has a secret recipe. Pluck Rouya fruit in the afternoon


day, and cool it overnight. ”


”How to ?”


”It's secret !”. FayLinn looked riled up.


LouElla tried to smile wisely, though


heart's pissed. Being kind to a noble child does not hurt. Even


some of them were so close to LouElla that they often


sending him Green Rouya, made the other teachers envious.


”Hm, then, you won't have friends


playing again in the academy, ” said LouElla as if sympathizing.


Not LouElla's name when it can't take


the hearts of the sons of the nobles. Make his life secure. Faylinn


left his teacher and walked slowly between the bookshelves. Library


it has become his new playground. No one bothers him when he is


fun to read books.


Ooo


LouElla was really curious about the cold Whim.


No one can make Whim cold unless brought to Zinnia at most


south. It also has to wade through the sea to get snow there. But


coupled with his fatigue, ordinary Whim was even more delicious, as long as it was made of


Green Rouya.


LouElla looking for a book on how to make


various Whim. A thick book he got, scented Rouya Orange. Gurus


the Nerdian Academy recognized the smell, color and texture of the various Rouya fruits


whatnot. They recognized him as well as the nobles and merchants. Because


they were obliged to teach the children of the nobles such skills.


The Nerdian disciples had just flown together


BirdNerd them, heading for their respective homes. The children who are still in


under 7 years old, still waiting for the waiter to pick them up. Except for the students


living in the dormitory, they had already entered into his luxurious dormitory. The teachers are


preparing to leave the academy, having previously cleared up the class


messier.


”Bu Lou ? Not coming home ?” ask officer


library.


”Not yet. I'm looking for a book on how to


making Whim.” LouElla says, while walking down the hallway between bookshelves. Him


not satisfied with just one book. He hopes to write some books about


Whim can borrow it today.


DefTyn, the librarian scrunched up


eyebrows.


”Whim ?”


”Iya. ”


DefTyn. LouElla is famous as a teacher


I am so lazy to touch the kitchen. He was so curious to find a book about


how to make Whim was the strangest thing he had ever heard. Probably the woman in


before him it has now started to stress because until now there is no one


the nobleman glanced at him. Though he was desperately looking


patricians. Maybe he's looking for a better trick. Whim Rouya Green


it was a meal that spoiled the tongues of nobles.


”Bu Lou wants to make Whim ?”


LouElla was troubled by DefTyn's question.


”Of course not, DefTyn. I'm just curious


with cold Whim. ”


”Whim cold ?”


”Iya. You just heard that too ? Maybe people


I'd think I was too naive, to trust a child's talk. But Whim it was


really exist. ”


”Who is that little boy ?” ask DefTyn.


”You don't need to know. After all, the Whim maker


that cold is dead.”


DesTyn was not surprised by LouElla's cynical remarks.


As usual, the woman often asked for help but was proud to just


various little secrets.


DefTyn left LouElla, and before long


back with a book.


”This is the most complete.”


LouElla glanced at the book in DefTyn's hands.


Pretending to be indifferent, but then grabbing her without thanking her. Destyn


only the head saw it.


LouElla riding her BirdNerd. For fashion reasons


recently, he had turned his BirdNerd feathers into stripes. Green is for


from the neck to the head, the rest is red. The teachers just hold back


laughing at the color of BirdNerd LouElla.


LouElla was getting curious about that cold Whim.


A child who often played with FayLinn interrogated him slowly.


FayLinn's guess is right. They no longer want to be friends with FayLinn


because FayLinn no longer brings the cold Whim to divide.


”What does cold Whim look like?” ask LouElla


careful though.


”Whim from Rouya Red, with Rouya Blue paste


cold ones. ”


”Pasta Rouya Blue ? Must have tasted bitter ..”


”No ! Feels cold. ”


LouElla wasn't sure she could find the cold Whim


in the books he brought now. But his instincts say, something is strange


to FayLinn. And he should know.


Ooo


FayLinn was alone in the library. LouElla


watching him from far away. She's very sleepy, because overnight


spent four books and found none of Whim's words


chilly.


”Maybe I am a fool, trusting a child


that small. It could be that everything is just their delusion, ” murmured annoyed.


DefTyn watched LouElla from behind the desk


her job. Seeing the old virgin who is now diligently present in the library, is


it's a strange habit. Especially if you are silent without reading. Plus


again, he had just returned six books he said he had read inside


overnight.


LouElla tried hard to hold back her sleepiness. Bells


the academy markings ended already sounded loud. FayLinn got up from her seat


and take the book to DefTyn.


”It's done dear ?”


”Already, Mr. DefTyn. Thank ye. I'm gonna


continue reading it tomorrow. Will you keep it for me?”


”Of course. But, say my regards to LesTyn, please,


my kid. How ?”


FayLinn smiled and said sadly, ”I'm sorry, I'm sorry,


Signore. I rarely meet Mr. LesTyn. He and Dad are always busy taking care of it


garden.”


FayLinn looked down deep. DefTyn understands sadness


Faylin.


”Reading it is good for treating sadness. You


miss your mother ?”


FayLinn nodded.


”Why don't you go to his grave?”


”The record is far away, Sir. The East Nerdia. Whereas


I'll be able to ride my BirdNerd next week. ”


”Hmm, and of course you can't go there


alone.”


FayLinn looked down deep. DefTyn touching hands


the little girl in front of him.


”You can tell me when you're sad. Or


you want me to visit your house ?”


FayLinn smiled. DefTyn is just a guard


library. But men his grandfather's age were softer than teachers


the women in the Nerdia Academy were softer and more compassionate than the female teachers in the


Nerdia Academy. He gladly served the son of the nobles seeking


their favorite book.


”I'm so happy, Sir. Play to my place


today.”


DefTyn rubbed FayLinn's hair. Unfeelably


soft and fragrant.


”How long have you not taken care of your hair?”


FayLinn. No one is taking care of


her hair has been since her mother died. And that is being realized at this time.


Not because there was no more cold Whim, but because his hair was getting dull.


His friends became lazy to be close to him.


”Do none of your servants can help you?”


FayLinn. FayLinn doesn't like it when


her hair was taken care of by her servant. Only ZinLinn can do that.


They always do it together.


”You can go to hair care. Just a few


today opened in City.”


FayLinn.


”Hmm, you wouldn't have any friends if you didn't


taking care of your hair. ”


FayLinn is leaving DefTyn. LouElla approached him


and greeted. FayLinn remained silent, and left the library.


”He read what ?”


DefTyn scrunched his forehead. LouElla again, with


curiosity that he doesn't like.


”Not your business. Every child is free to read


here.”


LouElla grabbed the book DefTyn was still holding,


the book that FayLinn just returned.


”Thistle ?”


DefTyn took the book in LouElla's hands before


the woman opened it.


”Sorry, FayLinn asked me to save it for tomorrow.



LouElla grunting.


”Why did the boy become interested in Legends


Thistle. ”


”The child reads any book. ”


it's blowing fast. Did the boy eavesdrop on the nobles' conversation


about the harvest that is expected to fail ? It rained too much. ”


DefTyn stared at LouElla.


”You're overreacting, Ms. Lou. He's just a kid


the little girl who just lost her mother. It's still nice he's entertaining himself with


read. A very wise act for a child of his age. ”


LouElla snorted, disliked the debate, and,


”I don't like to argue. But pretty much you know, the kid's saving something.”


DefTyn ignored LouElla. He began to compile


books on the shelf.


”They can make Whim cold. Where's he from


can you get a cold Blue Rouya ? Only Thistle can do that. ”


DefTyn was silent for a moment, then chuckled.


”It turns out, Ms. Lou is better at fantasizing than


FayLinn.”


LouElla turned around in annoyance. From back


the large window of the library, he saw FayLinn go up to a BirdNerd.


The waiter picked her up. LouElla did not want to be confined in her curiosity


which is becoming.


Ooo


The nobles often held parties. Harvest Rouya


every four months there is a party. Their kids ride BirdNerd


for the first time, there was a party. Another birthday. And unfortunately, FayLinn and


WinkGef was not the type of nobleman who liked parties. When ZinLinn was still around, though,


they often get party invitations. But their presence was only for a moment,


after that, the three of them decided to go home.


So when FayLinn even nine years and already


allowed to ride the unaccompanied BirdNerd, the nobles began


remind WinkGef of a party to be held. Coronation party


FayLinn with his BirdNerd.


”Unimportant party. What do you think, though,


Fay ?”


FayLinn nodded. Enya Moss smiled


father and son in front of him.


”The nobles will surely be disappointed if Mr. Sprout


do not hold the coronation party, ” said Enya Moss friendly.


”Yeah, maybe I'll hold it. Possibly


neither. That's my right ?” sahut WinkGef flat.


”Maybe Mr. Sprout and Miss FayLinn still


saddened by Mrs ZinLinn. The nobles just don't want to see


you are both drowning in a protracted sadness. This is already


traditions in Zinnia. The farmers are looking forward to this.”


WinkGef. It's so bland it feels like a party


without ZinLinn. Even on every FayLinn birthday, they just celebrate


three on the farm. Under the Red Rouya tree. The plantation workers who


feasting Whim Rouya Green.


”I don't want to party without mom, ” says FayLinn


bland. His eyes began to cloud.


WinkGef looked at Enya Moss, confirming the speech


Faylin. Enya Moss smiled.


”Hai, you will get a lot of BirdNerd rewards


that day, did you not like ?”


FayLinn just glanced at Enya Moss, then got up


leaving his father's office. He doesn't want any BirdNerd. Him


just wanted to ride his mother's BirdNerd. BirdNerd was now no longer there were any


riding. Only fly in Green Rouya on the front page and occasionally


get down when FayLinn claps. Approaching FayLinn and letting the girl


the little one caressed his neck.


”There's something I'd like to ask you, sir


Sprouts. ”


Anya Moss's tone sounded serious. WinkGef


it could have been surmised, the arrival of Enya Moss to her home that afternoon was not only


just reminded him of FayLinn's coronation day. But there's more


seriously from that.


”It's about BirdNerd Black, not ?” ask


WinkGef guess.


Enya Moss was silent for a moment.


”Not only that. It's about your best friend, NixWatt.



”What's with him ?”


”He opened a hair care home and


feathers in the city center. The visitors were crowded and most of the nobles. ”


”Hmm, I've expected. He is a trader.


Whatever he sells, he sells hard. ”


”The problem, Enya Spark often caught BirdNerd


Black perches on NixWatt's Istal, at night. Do you think this is


all has nothing to do?”


WinkGef frowned. NixWatt with


BirdNerd Black's.


”What Enya Spark did not tell NixWatt ? Who


knew BirdNerd Black was eyeing him, or something he had. ”


Enya Moss shook her head while saying, ”That's just


the legends are written in the ancient books, just like that book. The Enya are not


trust that.”


WinkGef followed the eye of Enya Moss.


An ancient book about BirdNErd lying on his round table. Sure, Enya


Moss had suspected that WinkGef was now beginning to believe in the legend of BirdNerd


Black's. BirdNerd suddenly remembered the image of BirdNerd Black in the cave owned by ZinLinn.


”Maybe Enya Spark saw it wrong, let alone night


day. ”


”No. Enya Spark is highly trained in


his field. And one more thing, it looks like NixWatt is rigging its customers. ”


WinkGef frowned ? Cheating ? Says


not exactly for NixWaat, the midget guy she knows so well. In spite of


lately he has felt he does not have to believe NixWatt's words. Business


his best friend is in demand, certainly many parties are jealous of


its success.


”What's Enya investigating this ?”


”Yes. Sure oes. ”


”Enya Moss conveyed this to me, of course


not without reason. Especially now that I'm not Enya anymore. I have no right


knowing what problems Enya is facing right now. What does Enya Moss mean


actually ?”


Enya Moss approached WinkGef and whispered.


”NixWatt a Zinnia. ”


WinkGef was surprised not to be a bitch. He arrived almost


he fell out of his chair, surprised. Both of his eyes were wide.


”Cannot be !”


”It turns out Mr. Sprout doesn't know any friends


by oneself. He can't garden Rouya like us. ”


”That's not the only reason. ”


”How about he is not present at the wedding


you're with ZinLinn. ZinLinn is a Zinnia, not ?”


WinkGef was stunned, still unable to eliminate


his surprise. NotchWood is so bad about NixWatt, why ? WinkGef same


I could not find a bright spot.


Enya Moss understands WinkGef's shock. And this


this is a good time to explain the situation that is happening.


”Enya not disbelieving in legends


BirdNerd Black's. Enya Spark had been observing for days. Postures


the rider of BirdNerd Black is only as tall as FayLinn. At first we thought, he


just a farm boy who is fad to take advantage of the BirdNerd Black issue


is evolving. Cut down at night and steal Green Rouya on the plantation


liberally. Because everyone is afraid to go out even today. Him


always perch on NixWaat's Instal even day. ”


”What is NixWatt ? Because of his midget body?”


Enya Moss let WinkGef think for himself


explanation from.


”Enya Spark do some hair care


the day before. One thing he strongly believed NixWatt was cheating on


is, there's no Green Rouya fruit there. NixWatt using Rouya Yellow.”


”Rouya Yellow ?”


WinkGef recalled Yellow Rouya in goa


Zinlin. NixWatt is a Zinnia. WinkGef started to find bright spots.


”Enya Moss, wait a minute. Is the Yellow Rouya


to be green when mixed Rouya Blue ?”


Enya Moss nodded and smiled, ”Both


rouya is cheaper than Rouya Green. ”


”Then ? The smell. How about the smell ?”


Enya Moss shrugs, ”We don't know yet


that thing. Enya Spark is still investigating. But obviously, all customers


addicted to caring for hair there, because NixWat does it by


cold.”


”Cold ?”


”Thener for hair it feels cold. ”


”What does it mean?”


”We hope Mr. Sprout will help us.


The second coming of Enya Spark, NixWatt seemed to realize that he was


investigated. Enya only hoped, the nobles were not fooled. And all


workers can work quietly on the plantation, without the issue of BirdNerd Black again. Weathers


it's not regular.  We all


hope, harvest remains abundant this time.”


WinkGef. Feeling in a difficult position.


”Take him in celebration of FayLinn's coronation,


so that Enya can freely check her house. ”


Enyo Moss salutes him with respect. Supposedly,


the nobles who respect Enya. But Enya Moss still can't


omitting his respect for former Chairman Enya, though WinkGef is lacking


loved it.


Ooo


A very festive party. All nobles and children


faylinns peer nobility present at WinkGef house. The waiters are busy


serve delicious whim in the front hall of the WinkGEf house. Walls decorated


with bungaa and Rouya tendrils of various colors. The front page was also changed


it is an amazing dining area for farmers and workers. Meals


abundant. The feast of the nobles was a feast for the peasants and workers


the nobles concerned. After serving their guests, they


free to enjoy delicious food in the front yard.


While BirdNerd-BirdNerd is hairy green


shiny perched on a tall Green Rouya tree towered in


in the middle of the front page. Sometimes they fly and flap their wings,


spreading the scent of Green Rouya. Showing each other the beauty of the fur, like


their gentlemen. Examine each other's fancy and beautiful clothes with


expensive embroidery.


Only FayLinn was gloomy-faced. She wanted


get out of his house immediately. Everyone was busy eating and joking around.


Some just greeted him and asked him how he was doing. FayLinn realized, he just


a child without a mother. The other noble children were introduced to each other


each other by their mothers. Every mother told me greatness


her child.


FayLinn's disappointed. Slowly, he sidled


leave the party room. The father who looked busy answered


saapan the nobles and Enya. FayLinn managed to reach his room, without


one person is known to include his servant.


”You left your party, baby ?”


FayLinn. The figure he missed


being in his room, sitting on his bed wisely.


”Grandfather !”


FayLinn slid into his grandfather's arms.


His grandfather's close embrace really enjoyed it as a cure


her mother's.


”When did grandpa come ? Who told grandpa


?”


NotchWood smile.


”Of course I never miscalculated


if today you are nine years old, ” replied NotchWood.


”I love grandpa, ” says FayLinn, once again


hugging his grandfather's body.


”Hmm, what do you want on your coronation day ?”


”I want Whim cold.”


”Whim cold ? A difficult request. ”


”I'm sure grandpa can make it.”


”Why are you so sure ?”


”Mom told me once. When married


with dad, mom doesn't like to eat whim, but it's a really delicious meal.


Then mom made her own whim and cooled it down. All my friends at school


I love my mom's cold whim. ”


NotchWood smile.


”I'll make it for you. Just this once.


Because, make it very difficult. ”


FayLinn's face brightened.


Ooo
