cloth in his hand which he took and discovered it was the barrel shaped mask and instructed by the Highlander on how to put it on and off which he obeyed feeling himself fine wearing it despite easily slipped over his head. He wearing the mask folded his arms and stared at Jiang lengthy who gave up an hmm sound while appearing to scrutinizing him before scanning his mind.
He mentally spoke “Well the mask? Plus should I bother making an appearance at some place where people won’t look at me closely due to them begging the Sun Lord to show himself?”
He heard from Jiang mentally “Ah the mask covers your head fine without any problems of showing details. I would advise against showing yourself due to that there’s species called Akylah that are known for an ability to see things way too far for any of the species can see and they’ll notice your clothing problem too clearly. Also Akylahs aren’t known for keeping secrets but known for being too blabby on various things and their also known for spreading rumors around here on various things including about you as well even if their true or not.”
He mentally spoke as Jiang became silent recalling Brianna “I want to see Brianna now.”
He heard from Jiang “Sorry Your Majesty the seventh sun enforced by the shield hasn’t passed yet. You have today and twin suns to go before the shield will let you inside the room to view her.”
He felt anger mentally roared “I want to see Brianna!”
He heard from Jiang “The seventh sun-“
Eric interrupted mentally while unfolding his arms “Now! I want to see her now! Who cares about the seventh sun for I don’t give a care!”
He glared at Jiang while fisting his hands who remained silent staring at him as he added “You said it yourself that you and the guards obey what orders I give without question which is what your doing so stop it now. I want to see Brianna now.”
He glared at Jiang who stopped scanning his mind which he walked away feeling angry towards the quarters door to see guards standing in front of it get out of his way leaving him to open the door. He slammed it open and walked out heading towards the elevator finding it open with two guards inside and went in it sensing Jiang had followed him. He stood with arms folded hands still fisted as he felt the elevator went down and then stopped showing the shielded door floor and he stomped out and halted in front of the shield to glare at Jiang standing next to him.
Eric mentally spoke while feeling his mind scanned by Jiang “Well stick your hand in there and get the shield down now.”
He heard from Jiang “Please don’t get upset if nothing happens for the shield has appeared to have some kind of mind of its own when allowing people-“
He interrupted “Just stick your hand into the shield now!”
He glared at Jiang to see the Highlander do what he ordered with a hand gloved which he saw the shield remained and recalled the male doing the shield down with hand bare. He darted forwards grabbing Jiang’s hand who got out of his hand grips and avoided his attempts to grab his hand while feeling his mind scanned.
Eric heard from Jiang mentally “Your Majesty it’s not proper for the Sun Lord to do this.”
He heard it over and over as he attempted to grab Jiang’s hand till he stopped and mentally yelled “You will stick your hand bare of glove into the shield now!”
He found Jiang obeying to his order and felt his mood fouler by the shield refusing to turn itself off.
He heard nothing from Jiang but his mind continued scanned as he mentally spoke “Argh someone is playing some sick joke onto me to do this stunt to me.”
He reached out his hand bare and stuck it in the shield feeling itchiness from the shield’s touch along with hearing a buzzing sound but felt rage as the shield refused to go down. He removed his hand and fisted it then charged towards the shield to meet what felt like a wall which he banged himself onto it while again hearing repeated buzzing sounds from it each time he hit it with his body. He halted his banging to stick his hands fisted into the shield to feel the familiar itchiness along with hearing familiar buzzing sounds as the shield refused to go down. He felt rage take control till his rage left him followed by sadness hitting him making his knees weak which he fell to kneel and wrapped his arms around his form while rocking himself back and forth uncaring that his head was hitting the shield making buzzing sounds as his eyes watered from the feeling running through him. He halted his rocking to slide his form onto the floor on his side and curled into a ball still crying away feeling like sleeping and shut his eyes.
He heard sounding in his mind “Your Majesty, your reaction is similar to others having a twin reaction to having their loved one contained in the shield room and forced to wait a certain time period just before allowed in-“
He interrupted “Just leave me alone. Leave me be now.”
He felt the headache stop followed by keeping his eyes shut and curled into a ball with arms still clinging to his form. He felt gloved hands take his hand rolling down his sleeve along with a prick of pain of a needle dart into his wrist and he felt himself becoming sleepier and sleepier surrendered to the drug’s contents letting himself pass out unconscious.
Eric came to hearing Jiang’s voice sounding in his mind “Your Majesty, its morning, time to get up.”
He numbly mentally spoke “Just let me sleep I don’t want to do anything but that.”
He heard “I would except that doctor of yours insists that you get up and take in nourishment due to sensing that your body would need it after being asleep for two suns straight. You had a bad reaction to the drug given you and it kept you asleep till the doctor gave you a drug to wake you up which he insists that you take in nourishment for your health period.”
He opened his eyes and sat up finding Jiang at the door that shut it close which he got up from the bed. He felt annoyance take hold with having to wear his confining clothes went to the bedroom door and yanked it open while sticking his head out.
He glared at Jiang who scanned him which he mentally spoke “The clothes are they ready yet? I’m itching to wear something else other than those confiners.”
He heard a groaning noise from Jiang who mentally spoke replying to him “No their not ready but you’ll find your water ship clothes and gloves in the clothes holder. Your shoes to wear will be the ones you hate for the water ship shoes are being examined for creating the shoes you want for the Sun Lord clothes as ordered by you.”
He slammed the door in response and went to the dresser near the bathroom door next to the bed and yanked open drawers finding them empty and then went to the dresser next to the bed opposite that and found what he was looking for which he put on the clothes and exhaled a breath finding himself relieved to wear them. He exhaled another breath after inhaling and with a mental groan he put on the flimsy shoes feeling disgusted with having to wear them. He slammed open the bedroom door and went out to see Jiang looking at him who he thought he saw relief in the Highlander’s eyes but looked away going to the dining table to sit and eat his food. Eric felt himself terribly hungry gobbled up the food and gulped down the drink. He once done got up and went to the couch to sit and grabbed the remote turning on the TVs.
He noticed Jiang standing off his right next to the couch which he gave a glare and mentally spoke “I expect answers to my questions I ask to what I see on the monitors.”
He heard in response “It’ll be done as you wish.”
He looked away and stared at the TV and once again pestered Jiang with various questions mentally spoken along with pointing fingers at the TV while gesturing to the Highlander to view and give him an explanation which lasted till the male told him “Enough its time for you to go to bed and get some sleep now.”
He peered at the windows to spot instead of darkness the sun going away followed by some heavy spotted whiteness appearing to be falling from the sky and shut off the TVs showing blaring blue screens instead of scenes which he put the remote down on the table and got up going to the window to peer outside. He eyed the whit
eness that seemed lengthy and eyed the sky that was white with spotted whiteness coming from it.
He placed hands on the window while staring at it and then shifted to look for Jiang seeing the Highlander behind him nearby while mentally speaking “What’s going on outside?”
He heard mentally “It’s a cold storm courtesy of King Winter, Lord and ruler of the cold and snow. I wouldn’t go out in that if I would you. Cold storms bring death to anyone caught in it. Cold storms have hit Atlanta for cycles at various times while coming and going with noise warning from the Guardian building warning the natives which they must get indoors to avoid being caught in one and passing away as a result. I believe you should be in bed sleeping due to that the doctor stuck at the local hospital has communicated to us after we sent him a communication that you should be doing that. Sorry you’re without your personal physician at the moment due to the cold storm outside.”
He shifted his form entirely to face Jiang and mentally spoke “Why is Trevor at the hospital anyway?”
Eric heard from Jiang “Ah that’s part of his duties as your personal physician to be at the hospital examining test results he’s done on you that have been transmitted to the hospital for further study. The hospital’s medical technology is more advanced than here when it comes to
