examining tests results hence he there at the moment so off to bed you go.”
He felt no urged to sleep as he stared at Jiang and mentally spoke “Tell me when the seventh day is going to go by?”
He heard a groaning noise from the Highlander as Jiang mentally spoke “I believe the seventh sun is the following sun but you would have to wait till that passes first before you can see Brianna. Sorry about this so off to bed you go I insist for the doctor told us to dart you out if you resists to that order. That darting you out thing is something I don’t agree to and prefer you to sleep without help by yourself.”
He recalled himself able to turn invisible mentally spoke “Not if you can find me.”
He turned himself invisible and heard from Jiang verbalizing his words loudly “Sun Lord is resisting the order!”
He figured he’ll walk up towards Jiang only to feel himself darted by a syringe hitting him in the arm after hearing a familiar dart gun going off while feeling himself appearing from hidden state along with sleepiness and fell towards the floor falling unconscious which he heard a male voice sounding familiar speaking “Its time for you to get up its morning.”
Eric found himself lying on a bed still clad in his clothes which he jerked open his eyes rubbed a gloved hand on his forehead he got up from the bed and eyed Jiang standing in the doorway looking at him who spoke mentally to him “The clothes and shoes aka boots are ready but their stuck at a discreet location. That’s due to that there’s going to be a cold storm hitting soon due to the Guardian sounding his warning. I can’t tell you how long the cold storm will last due to that they are various on time frame lengths so you’ll have to be patient.”
He without a comment went to the doorway as Jiang backed up and he walked out of the bedroom to the dining table and sat gobbling up the food and gulping down the drink and once done went to the windows of the covered porch to glare outside seeing the sun was fast disappearing from behind clouds as spotted whiteness arrived falling from them appearing to be thick in number from the looks of it. He continued to glare out the window seeing that the cold storm seemed lengthy and felt himself annoyed.
Eric turned to glare at Jiang standing off his left he found and mentally spoke “Has anyone bothered to time those cold storms?”
He heard from Jiang still mentally “Actually they have been doing it for cycles but the timer results aren’t very well done. That’s from depending on when the sun shines to time the cold storms. The city natives have balked help from other nations having invented timer devices to tell time during a cold storm or when its time for meals and bed as well. The natives like most of Atlanta still depend on the sun to wake them up along with when to go to bed something we have adapted to doing here due to that the Sun Lord’s residence is here as well.”
He didn’t comment a response went to the couch and sat picking up the remote which he clicked the button and found blaring blue screens in response to his remote’s manipulating.
He heard from Jiang loudly verbalizing his words “Sorry Your Majesty but cold storms always shut down visuals but verbal communications are still active as always.”
He with disgust running through him shut off the TVs and thumped the remote down onto the table and leaned back with arms folded feeling himself further disgusted. He felt himself itching to do something got up from the couch and began to pace back and forth till he recalled the incident of the previous day gave Jiang a glare sensing the familiar feeling.
He mentally spoke “Spill it Jiang how come your not surprised to see me turn hidden and how were you able to knock me out detecting me in my hidden state?”
He glared at Jiang who appeared to gulp before the Highlander mentally spoke “Like I said about having a family predecessor talking about encountering you while serving Oceana. The family predecessor did give out very clear details involving you attacking Kaddar guards while in some hidden state in retaliation to your male offspring taken by force and one of the guards using an elevator to knock you out making you reveal your form.”
He stiffened hearing Jiang’s talk as the Highlander continued talking “I admit it that it was a guard’s gun and a lucky shot that the dart hit you in the arm darting you out. The guard in question guessed on where you were and fired the gun blindly guessing that it would hit you and it did. You were out for the whole sun and night till morning is when I successfully woke you up.”
He mentally spoke “Did Trevor’s brother test the clothes and boots for any leakage before I wear them?”
He heard from Jiang “I assure you that Creve was thinking very smartly when it comes to the clothes and boots enough to do tests on them. I know your doctor has said that Creve personally wouldn’t give up various inventions whether their medically or not without bothering to test them very thoroughly for any flaws. Your doctor has said that Creve has this very picky habit of doing what it takes to find flaws in things invented whether their medically or not which I believe is what he’s doing with the clothes and boots at the moment. I oath to you that I got word to your doctor to tell Creve not to be lengthy with the tests due your duties of being Sun Lord requires making an oath appearance to the public.”
He mentally spoke “Oath appearance? What oath appearance?”
He glared at Jiang who spoke mentally “Ah that was an excuse used on the public when a rumor was going around heard saying that the Sun Lord was very sick with a medical ailment and seeking a replacement for the titled duties. We managed to spread via Akylah that the Sun Lord is doing fine medically and will show himself at a sun on the appearance spot and oath that it’ll happen. Lucky for us the cold storms’ arrival have managed to put that off for now.”
Eric folded his arms and mentally spoke “Jiang what were you planning on doing if the cold storms haven’t arrived and the public insisting on keeping the oath?”
He heard from Jiang “Ah I thought of having a guard similar sized to your predecessor wearing the Sun Lord clothes and mask to make an appearance on the appearance spot. Humans have dubbed the appearance spot by this word of balcony which has taken effect among the natives of the city who use that word when referring to it.”
He mentally spoke “Show me this balcony.”
Eric heard from his guard “Sorry that hallway leading to the balcony is exposed to outside air by an end of it open to the balcony with nothing to keep out the air in place yet. It’s still cold storming outside at the moment and I wouldn’t recommend going to there due to that the hallway is only accessed by elevator. I warn you that technology regardless of what they are have repeatedly broken down once exposed to cold storms which I’m sure will happen to the elevator if its exposed to the cold storm’s air. The technology has reportedly resumed function once cold storms stop which suggests that their programmed to shut down when exposed to cold storms and then resume once the cold storm has stopped.”
He felt disgust take hold without a comment turned around and glared out the window seeing it was still like Jiang said cold storming outside as he continued to stare out the window like in a trance.
A loud ahem broke Eric of his trance which he felt a hand shake his shoulder jerked his head towards his left to stare finding Jiang was the one who touched him that removed his hand.
Jiang he heard mentally “I thought of an idea of having you go back to bed and get some sleep seeing you don’t have much to do around here but you’ll shot that down anyway.”
He exhaled a breath hearing Jiang’s words as he mentally spoke “Well I’ll go to bed anyway and let my thoughts amuse me.”
He got nothing from Jiang but a head bob in a Human styled yes gesture which the Highlander backed aside and he walked passed him to his bedroom going inside and shut the door to again find the bed made only to recall he slept on top of the blankets. He went to the dresser holding his pajamas and stripped himself of his clothes and shoes exchanging them for pajama pants but leaving on his gloves. He picked up the shoes arm length in front of him and carried
them to the bedroom door yanking it open to throw them out into the living room satisfied hearing banging noises from them hitting something which he shut the door shut and went to the bed yanking back the blankets.
He got into the bed and maneuvered leaning over shutting off the lamp then grumbled mentally “Argh forgot to tell the guards about leaving a lamp off.”
He rolled over and reached towards that lamp to hear the door to the bedroom open which he looked to spot a guard put down a pair of familiar shoes then backed out shutting the door in a gentle slam.
Eric grumbled mentally “Don’t tell me that’s because of this Creve not finished with his stinking tests.”
He felt sleepy in response shut off the lamp and adjusted position till he was lying on one side of the bed nearest the dresser holding his water ship clothes which he shut his eyes feeling himself passing out unconscious to come to hearing a familiar voice sounding his mind “Its time to get up for its morning.”
Eric jerked open his eyes which he saw Jiang at the doorway that mentally added “You’ll find your titled duty clothes in the clothes holder along with the requested shoes so put them on and come out so we can see if they need adjusting.”
He obeyed getting up as Jiang shut the door feeling his mood
