“GAEL!”
“Yeah..?”
“What the heck are you doing sleeping so late? Mom and Dad are waiting for you to have breakfast. Get your piggy a*s up already you moron!” yelled Gael’s Sister Sandra.
“Y-yeah I am coming right up.,” said Gael in a sleepy tone.
“You better do it! It’s noon already! Ah, jeez..” sighed Gael’s sister.
“Gael! No brunch for you if you come late!” Shouted Gael’s mom.
“I am coming!! Give me a minute already!” screamed Gael from the other room as he started to brush his hair.
“...As for today, once again The Kingdom Of Eveleynia contributed their utmost faith and dignity towards the development of our town. They donated their gold and silver to us, the villagers of Narkissa. It is because of them we live prosperous till today. For their honor, we are hereby inviting them to our sacred garden. The garden of blossoms! All are welcome to join us as we honor our King and Queen today!...” These were the words coming from the Minister of the village Narkissa as he spoke on the public radio.
“You see? I told you! My instincts were right after all. I knew they were going to come to our village this weekend!” Cheered Gael’s father while spilling the tea all over the floor.
“Damn you! Now you’re gonna clean all that up!” yelled Gael’s mom.
“Wow! They’re going to show up!?” Gael joyfully screamed, “If I get a chance I am going to show them my creations and tell them about my-”
“Shut it, Gael! You have to do the chores today, remember?”, interrupted Gael’s mom.
“B-but I want to see them. I’ve wanted to show them my creations! Please I’ll do it after that..'', pleaded Gael as he had always been very excited about meeting the King and Queen of Eveleynia for a very long time.
“NO! You are staying here and doing the chores and cleaning up the house too! And by the way, who the heck would want to see yer’ dirty gadgets or whatever, anyway? They are USELESS! Do you understand now? Shut up and eat your breakfast and start cleaning already!”, scolded Gael’s mother.
“Gadgets? Haha, yer’ still making that crap, son?” mocked Gael’s dad, “Listen to me Gael, you have no future if you keep making these crappy helicopters. And you've been going to Doctor McLee’s computer lab a lot lately. You need to focus more on your studies rather than simply lying around and doing all this bullshit!” Gael’s father gave a lecture to him while grabbing his collar, “Did you see your siblings? They are known everywhere around Narkissa. And you just bring our entire family down by doing nothing!”
“Hmpf! Nitwits like you don’t belong to our family at all! You’re just a clumsy Lil’ kid who does nothing but wanders like a monkey!” Gerald, his elder sibling started making fun of him.
“Stop it, Gerald! Gael, didn’t you hear me? You have things to do! So eat your food fast and get on to work already!” shouted Gael’s mother.
Gael then silently without even muttering a word, took his bread, and ran off outside.
“See father! He’s going off by himself again!” Sandra the younger sibling screamed as Gael ran as fast as he could to get off from Gerald’s grip as he was about to hit him. “Hmm, I cannot put more sense into him anymore now. Let him do what he wants!” sighed Gael’s father.
“Gael! You better clean the house and do the chores before we return! Do not forget that! Or else no dinner!”, screamed Gael’s mother as he ran and was already far away.
Gael Thompson is a 13-year-old boy who loves inventing and creating various types of gadgets and also likes to c***k codes and ciphers made by the military for war. He often finds this amusing and fun to do. And Doctor McLee, the scientist of the village Narkissa, was always amazed at how he could develop such remarkable gadgets and devices which almost seem unreal for a kid of 13 capable of doing so and which he thinks may come efficient in war. Doctor McLee is the one who taught him how to decode ciphers and codes. The doctor assumed that Gael was interested in the military force and that was why he liked to do all this.
“Hey, doc! Guess what?” Gael rushed into the lab of Doctor McLee, which startled him.
“My, my, what’s this big rush about?” asked Doctor McLee curiously as he had never seen Gael this excited.
“Ah Doc why don’t you pay attention to the public radio from now on?” said Gael in a cocky tone, looking at him up and down.
“Public radio? Haha ah yes! At that moment I was sound asleep. My apologies dear” said the Doctor smilingly. “Hmpf! No wonder...” said Gael as he facepalmed, “Anyway, they say that the King and Queen of Eveleynia are going to come to Narkissa! And they are going to come to The Garden of Blossoms!”
“Oh my! Good Gracious! I heard that the Queen is very pretty! Haha, I hope I don’t kill her with my charms, eh? Haha” said Doctor McLee surprisingly.
“Ugh ew Doc! You do know she’s already married! And why the heck would she like a p*****t like you, of all things?” cringed Gael.
“HUH? A p*****t? You’re mistaken, Gael, I am what they call a gentleman!” said the Doctor boasting about himself more and more, “In any case, I am still wondering what this excitement is about.”
“Ah yes! I was wondering if you would like to do me a favor, Doc...”
“Sure! What is it, Gael?”
“Do you mind showering the Sires with some flowers when they enter The Garden Of Blossoms from my Achilles?” asked Gael smilingly.
The doctor suddenly got curious and asked, “What are you talking about, Gael!? You always wanted to show your creations to them. And now the time has finally come! It’s time to unleash your true capabilities to the Sires, the people of this village, and most importantly your family!”
Gael looked down smilingly and said, “It is true that I had always wanted to show this to everyone I can. But I have to do my chores and cleaning today. If I don’t do that, mum and dad will go mad, and that is really what I always don’t like. So please Doc, I request you this one huge favor from me. Will you, Doc?”
The doctor felt very upset about hearing that. He felt like he was stealing his ability. The doctor then reached out to Gael and held his shoulder saying, “I will proudly do it, Gael. But are you happy with this? People wouldn’t even know the truth behind this. And they might think that I am the one who created it.”
“If the people are happy and satisfied, then it doesn’t matter to me if they don’t know that I am the one who created it,” said Gael with a proud smile.
The doctor sighed and said, “Well, if that is how you want it dear. But what type of flowers would you like to use?”
“It’s f*******n to pluck out any flowers from The Garden Of Blossoms, so I planned to get some Orchid flowers from the neighboring forest. There are plenty of them there!” said Gael, biting his bread.
“Neighbouring forest? Do you mean the one close to the borders?” The doctor removed his glasses and began to shout at him, “Do you have any idea how many vicious hungry wild animals live there? Gael, that place is not at all safe. If you want I can offer you some other type of flowers which won’t rot. I beg not to go there!”
Gael sighed and said, “Hey Doc! I am not a baby anymore. And even if something unlikely happens, I have my Achilles with me! And do you know why I chose the name Achilles? It’s because it means ‘Warrior’. It’s an Ancient Greek name. Fascinating, isn’t it?”
“Haha, it will be more fascinating when you get eaten up by those animals!” mocked the Doctor as he handed his balcony door key to Gael, where he kept his various sets of experimental flowers, “Take this and go to the balcony where I keep those different types of flowers. And they are beautiful too, so you don’t have to go to the forest anymore, eh? Pretty easy.”
Gael threw the key from his hand and said, “The only flowers which will fall over The Garden are THE ORCHIDS! And besides, have you lost faith in me, Doc? I told you I have a lot of weapons that I can use along with my Achilles to protect myself.”
The Doc facepalmed and said, “Well, as long as you have those, I guess there are no possible worries. But be careful out there! I am having my utmost faith in you that you won’t be eaten like a barbeque out there. Although I’d love to see that! Haha!” Doc laughed mockingly.
“Haha very funny! I won’t be eaten! BELIEVE ME!” said Gael proudly.
“I was just kidding. But on a serious note, be careful out there. And don’t forget to use this alarm if you face any trouble...” said Doctor McLee as he handed him a device, “This will alarm all the military soldiers that guard the forest, in case of any danger. Nevertheless, these military soldiers stand there only for their namesake. There have been reported many people dying due to the carelessness of these soldiers. And yet they put the entire blame on those innocent people who die! This device will not only alarm the guards there but also the military office. Besides, this is only given to those scientists who go into the forests for various science experiments.”
“I actually wouldn’t be needing this, but fine I’ll take it!” said Gael as he opened the exit door and waved the Doctor bye.
