know,”
Xander offered. But Maverick was quick to shake his head no
nervously.
    “ No, no. I’d rather not
know.”
    “ If you insist,” Xander
shrugged. “I have the same thinking. I’ve yet to have my future
told.”
    “ Does it frighten you,
too?”
    “ Frighten?” Xander
laughed. “Of course not. But if I were to know everything, life
would be so boring! Boring or stressful, if I spent the remaining
time trying to change it.”
    “ Hm. There’s a story on
Earth about that. Trying to change your fate and doing more harm
than good.”
    “ A story?”
    “ Oedipus Rex.”
    “ Ha! I have an uncle that
goes by the first name there.”
    “ Yeah, well. He had holes
in his feet.”
    Xander’s eyes widened in
sudden disgust, grimacing as he glanced away. Shaking the thought
from his mind, he sighed, looking back at Maverick, who was
fidgeting with his hands.
    “ So, explain this whole
president thing to me again,” Xander said to Maverick, who laughed
in return.
    Their heads lifted when
they heard the pitter patter of feet coming down the hall and the
faint sound of yelling in the distance. It wasn’t long before they
saw Lyla sprinting into the room, grabbing their
attention.
    “ Lyla?” Maverick
questioned.
    Xander peeked over him,
leaning to the side to peer around at the little girl.
    “ Is that the human girl?
She looks scared.”
    Vida, Aredelle, and Edmon
stopped their conversation to see the little girl running into the
room, followed by the stumbling in of a confused and hesitant
guard, who looked at Vida questionably. Lyla skid to a stop in
front of Maverick, panting as she looking around him, her hands
reaching out for him cautiously.
    “ What is it,
Lyla?”
    “ Where’s Saphora? Arol?”
she asked frantically.
    “ Saphora’s training in the
forest with Dakota. Arol’s probably on his way to join them,”
Xander answered, arching a brow as he looked down at her and her
bare feet. “Are you the human girl?”
    Ignoring the question,
Lyla whined, her grip on Maverick getting tightening as she looked
back down the hallway from whence she came.
    “ Why are you looking for
them? What’s wrong?” Maverick asked, his concern
obvious.
    “ Can you bring me there?”
Lyla asked. Maverick hesitated, his head moving from side to
side.
    “ I’m not so sure that’s a
good idea. I don’t think it’s safe to interrupt their
training.”
    “ Is it normal for you to
go around without footwear?” Xander questioned, completely
disregarding the apparent urgency of the situation.
    The bridge of Maverick’s
nose scrunched up as he turned towards Xander in both annoyance and
confusion.
    “ What?” Maverick
asked.
    Letting go of Maverick,
Lyla spun around just as Dizabethere entered the correct hallway.
She took off to the nearest exit, shouting, “Artemis will take me!”
Maverick’s attention snapped to the running Lyla as he stood up and
took a couple steps after her, his hand extended in her
direction.
    “ Lyla?!”
    “ Is it a normal thing for
humans to run off in the middle of a conversation?” Xander asked,
folding his arms as they watched her run off. Maverick kept walking
in her direction.
    “ I should make sure
everything’s okay,” he said, more to himself than to Xander. But
Xander’s hand came slapping down onto Maverick’s shoulder to assure
him.
    “ Don’t worry about it. She
said Artemis was taking her. She’ll be safe with her.”
    Maverick hesitated,
considering the fact. He wondered if Xander had known. That Artemis
was dead. A ghost protecting a little girl. Could she?
    “ Now then,” Xander cleared
his throat, tugging on Maverick’s shirt. “Presidents.”

Chapter 5

    “Why the hell would you
want to go to Earth?” Sven asked with crossed arms, leaning against
the trunk of a tree.
    Xander climbed a bit
higher before finally picking a branch near the resting Loni to sit
on. Loni’s tail thwacked in his direction as a mundane greeting as
he situated
