a story about a particular tribe of fairies called Avari. They were forest dwelling fairies and were allies with a race of dragon warriors called Alveda d’Kai. It was said that Alveda d’Kai were often very aggressive, both men and women, dominant in nature and fiercely protective of those they loved. They also possessed amazing stealth, speed and healing powers. It was said that the Avari royals were often encouraged to marry Alveda d’Kai warriors because the union produced strong, resilient, yet compassionate and considerate offspring.”
“Why, because the fairies were compassionate?” Big Scary asked.
“Yes,” Pigtails replied. “The Avari as a people tended to be very easy-going and kind. The Alveda d’Kai were their opposites and their complements.”
“So what happened to them?” Darien asked.
“Well, it was said that the Avari had an enemy tribe called the Supporo. A constant war raged between the two, which was why the Alvdea d’Kai were so necessary. The Avari were not a warrior race. They would have been wiped out without the help of the dragon warriors. However, the Supporo figured out some way to beat the Alveda d’Kai and exterminated the entire race, leaving the Avari helpless. It was said that their people scattered about the world and have been forced to remain in hiding ever since.”
“Dang, that’s depressing,” Big Scary commented.
“Yeah, but I love it anyway,” Pigtails said. “I always thought that the Alveda d’Kai sounded sexy.” She giggled. “I wish they hadn’t gone extinct. I would have loved to track one down and marry him.”
Logan couldn’t take it anymore. He whirled to face the group. “Oh, for crying out loud!” he shouted. “It’s not real!” They all blinked at him in surprise. He snorted. “You all talk about these stupid myths like they’re fact! What is the matter with you people? What space ship did you beam down from because you surely aren’t from this planet!”
Big Scary raised an eyebrow. “Dang, dude, chill.”
“No!” Logan shouted. “This is ridiculous! Do you all expect to exist in the world the way you are now? You think life is going to be forgiving? Let me tell you something, life is not forgiving! It takes everything you have and more just to succeed when you’re halfway normal. You freaks don’t stand a chance!” He slashed the air with his hands. “I don’t even know why places like this exist to enable you. You should be learning how to live in the real world, not have your stupid childish fantasies validated.”
“Come on, this is what we like to do,” Darien interrupted. “We shouldn’t have to catch crap for that.”
“What you like is stupid!” Logan cried. “I mean, come on.” He pointed to Four Eyes. “George Lucas may be a multi-billionaire, but Star Wars is not real. ” He pointed to Big Scary. “And what is up with you anyway? Your hair looks like you stuck your finger in a light socket, and you wear makeup. You really expect to be a respected member of the community in that circus clown getup?”
Darien scowled and stepped forward. “Hey—”
Logan ignored him and pointed to the Japanese girl. “And you like to crack people over the head just because some people on this planet actually like to eat meat and hunt fresh game! I can understand not liking animal testing. I get that, but attacking people just because they want some deer jerky is a little over the top, I think.”
“Okay, we get your point, man!” Darien snapped.
Logan still ignored him and turned his wrathful finger to Pigtails. “And who cares about your stupid dragon warrior myths? Are they relevant to life? Do they have any significance in the world around you? No. They’re just nonsense. Ridiculous, childish games for ridiculous, childish kids like all of you—” Logan attempted to gasp in a breath, but that was made greatly impossible because of Darien’s fist forcing all of the air out of his body by plunging into
