Keralis hummed as he walked through his starter base, natural light pouring in from the giant opened windows. The amount of fresh air in the house was delicious. He looked at his communicator. A few hours before he had to meet up with Ren for a ‘quick’ business discussion and braai—but he was hungry now.
He heard the familiar groan of a zombie as his stomach growled quietly. A full plate of fresh rotten meat would be too much, especially since Ren would undoubtedly come with steak ready to throw on the fire. He needed something lighter, more refreshing.
“A salad!”
Keralis smiled as he came to his own realization. He clapped his hands as he danced around the island in his kitchen. As he focused on getting out the things he would need hardware-wise, black, inky tendrils that protruded from his back set to retrieving all the vegetables that he would need.
One of the tendrils handed Keralis a fresh head of Romaine lettuce. He dunked it under the running water in the sink, cleaning it of any dirt from where it had grown in Joe’s garden. Other tendrils brought carrots and cucumbers from Iskall’s garden, freshly made cheese from Zed’s cow farm, and pumpkin seeds from the Giga Pies factory.
Keralis was so engulfed in crafting the perfect snack, he hadn’t noticed the thirteen arrows dotted around his kitchen. xB and Scar sat in the tree across the water staring at the eldritch man.
“How have we both missed him completely?”
“Man, it’s Keralis. He’s…. Keralis…ing.”
“Princess! And Scar! What are you doing in front of my humble abodey?”
The pair jumped at the sudden appearance of their target hovering in front of them, a perfect salad in his hands. Keralis jabbed into the salad, taking a hefty bite as he watched expectantly for an answer.
“We— Uh—“
“Prank,” xB stated simply. “That we clearly failed at.”
Keralis chuckled as he ate his salad, the tendrils in his back holding him up in front of his friends. “That you have. Now, can I eat my delicious snack in peace without having arrows flung at me from mysterious directions?”
The pair nodded and flew off. Keralis returned his bowl to his kitchen and set to cleaning before flying off himself to meet up with Ren. Just before he was out of eyesight of his house, he saw Scar and xB sneaking in through the back door.
“Clever girl, xB. But not clever enough.”
