Amos

Greeted friends and relatives and taken with them all the possible supplies, clothes and so on, the two of them managed to open again the passage in the living room to come back to the other part under the surprised and terrified gazes of her family. On the other hand, it wasn't so usual that someone transformed the living room in a sort of station of inter – dimensional portals!

<<Oh, finally at home. Do you know that your home is really strange? There are objects and furniture that I had never seen in my life and I have been around for a long time.>> He confessed, helping her standing up. If there was something sure, it's that she wasn't used to getting through portals and she didn't seem to like it either!

<<Instead of talking about the disposal of my house's furniture, what would you say of tracking that old hag to let us know something more?>> She asked, rather disappointed of being constantly spitted out from a place to another to promptly falling on woody floors or muddy grasses. Looking at her current state, Amos couldn't avoid laughing and think that they were just at the beginning.

<<In short, can I know what do you find so funny? And why do seem to float every time you pop out of those "things", while I get there at a bullet' speed to find myself in most unthinkable places?>> She shouted, rubbing her lower back.

<<Well, because I am who I am and you are you and now things natural order is restored.>> He ended, laughing.

<<Hey, but where have you kept such a sense of humor until now?>>

<<Sense of what?>> He asked.

<<Never mind. Instead, how do we find her? Do we have a map, a smoke signal, a carrier pigeon?>>

<<We don't need anything of these things. I can feel her and, anyway, before of coming to get you, she told me that she would have waited for us and the shrine so we can whenever we want.>>

<<But do you know where we are? I mean, we are near, right?>>

<<Mmh, it's been a century since when I came the last time, but if I correctly remember we aren't near.>>

<<Kind of moron why do you tell me it in such a calm tone, eh?! God only know how much we have to walk and how many pitfalls we could find on the way and, like if this wasn't enough, my guide hasn't been out for a century and I bet you don't have any idea how to get there.>> She told him.

<<Are you finished?>>

<<No, I would have a lot of other unkind things to tell you, but since I am a lady, I think I'll avoid expressing them.>> She answered with lots of bigmouth.

<<So, does exist a way to contact her and to get there? Because I would prefer avoid to spend a night under the stars at the mercy of the strangest and the most dangerous creatures, especially in company of such a dodgy guy like you.>>

<<It's really extraordinary the fact that you keep turning up to me in such a way, seen and considered that I could finish you off whenever I want.>> He explained, trying to remain serious.

<<I doubt it. First of all, because otherwise you would go back in the slammer and, secondly, because under, under, you find me nice.>>

<<Maybe. Anyway, staying by my side, I can assure you that no strange creature will try laying a finger on you. I swear you.>> He concluded, "blocking" her with his magnetic gaze, moving aside a rebel lock from her face.

<<Believe me, the unique creature worrying me is right in front of me.>> She asserted, trying not succumbing to his incredible charm (A difficult task).

<<Oh, you are hurting me!>> He joked, mimicking a pain to the chest.

<<ah, ah, stop playing the wiseacre and let's get moving, since we will have a long way to walk.>> She told, setting off.

<<I wouldn't like to crush your spirit of initiative, for pity' sake, but this is not the right way.>> He stopped her very quietly, unleashing further the girl's anger.

<<And what the hell were you waiting to tell me, eh? That I reached the end of the hill?>> But the girl didn't have the time to end the question that she felt being lifted in the air, light as a feather. Probably Amos had decided throwing her over in style!

<<Please, for God' sake, put me down. I promise I will try being more inclined to dialogue, but I beg you, put me down.>> She begged him, scared like a chick while holding on even more to his hadagi.

<<Oh, come on as if it was the first time you fly with me. I haven't let you fall the first time and I won't do it this time either.>> Amos "reassured" her.

<<This is a great pep talk, really! So, did you know where to go or I am wrong?>> She asked, lightly annoyed, but, after all, every excuse would have been ok to distract herself from frying over an unknown world. At least the sky wasn't different or not perceptibly. Just looking at it revived her courage.

He replied with a lopsided smirk.

<<What do you say? Would you like going into a dive?>> He asked, grinning happily up his sleeve.

<<Absolutely not and I want you to know that if you just try it, you won't get to tomorrow to tell it.>> She "blackmailed" him, grabbing onto him like a koala on a tree's log!

<<What a grumpy girl. Let me at least thank you for having decided to accompany me on this trip. You know, it's true that they couldn't got the best on me, but I wouldn't have liked to "have a chat" with the entire celestial host.>> He told, definitely too softly for Clara.

<<At this height I don't hear you very well, would you be so kind to repeat this last piece?>> She asked despite having heard everything.

<<I said that you aren't the worst company that I could have.>>

<<Oh well, it's the same for you, even if there are a lot better.>> She replied, laughing.

<<How can I blame you? I have a kind of brat just hatched for such an important mission, but, in my immense goodness I will try making her able to handle a skewer!>> He told her, keeping making fun of her.

<<I think that dragon' skewers will be really good. I was just thinking about someone in particular.>>

<<I wish that you haven't eaten too much because now we really fly.>> He advised her, preparing himself to speed up dive!

<<What... Oh God, someone helps me!>>

And between cracks, the by now "friends" started their research of the bizarre miko!
