《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 4: A cheap movie night
Advertisement
"It has been a while since we have watched a film together. Why don't we watch new mutants tonight. Tuesday tickets are much cheaper than other days. I will pay for them tickets", Eagle said on the way.
"Don't you have to wake up early tomorrow?" Mads found a parking spot just in front of the mall.
"I can miss a bit of sleep. We have not hang out for a while. It is not a date".
"Trying to sound smooth again. I am not interested in dating anyone".
"Like I said, it is not a date. Don't tell me we can't be friends". Looking at Mads, Eagle gave her a wink.
"Alright, no worries, I was just messing with you. I will join you for a movie night but first let me buy the coffee".
"Sounds good to me".
"You aren't trying to act like Miguel Diaz, are you?"Giggling away, she jab him in the ribs as usual.
"Who?" Eagle looking confuse once again.
"Did you ever watch Cobra Kai? The sequel to Karate Kid?" Mads laugh while hitting Eagle.
"I did. I only remember Johnny Lawrence". Eagle allowed Mads to keep on hitting him playfully.
Entering the Starbucks coffee shop which is surprisingly quite tonight, Mad purchased two blonde roast coffees with minimum sugar. "No sugar for you tonight". She stuck out her tongue at him.
"Fine. I don't take sugar before sleep anyway. Not since, I have gained some weight before joining the School of Paradeisos". Taking his coffee form Mads and leading the way to the cinema which was a few floors up. "We will have to use three escalators".
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. On second thought, you have loss that belly fat since we last met". Examining his abs and poking them with her left index finger before jabbing him in the ribs.

"Hey you!"
"Catch me if you can". Chasing a surprisingly fast Mads all the way to the cinema, they paused to catch their breath the moment they reach their destination. "That was a good work out".
"I will buy the tickets". Leading the way to the counter.
"Yeah, yeah!" Following Eagle to the counter. "Do you know one thing. I believe you will actually be a married man soon".
"Really? Who would want a guy like me?"
"I am not too sure but I believe we will soon have new comers joining us very soon". No sooner had Mads finished speaking did someone familiar come along. She had long blonde hair and was carrying a five year old girl with red hair.
"Mom, I want to watch Trolls". The girl cried.
"Honey, it is night. We will have to wait tomorrow". Cutting pass Eagle and Mads without noticing them, the blonde was trying to calm down her daughter.
"I hate you, mom".
"Tomi? Is that you?" Walking in front of Eagle and calling out to the blonde, Mads nearly spilled her coffee.
"Mads?" Turning arounds, Tomi embraced Mads with her free hand before letting go and introducing her daughter. "Meet my daughter, Mertle".
"Hi Mertle". Touching the five year old red head's hair with left hand, Mad's cooed. "Its nice to meet you".
"Hello", Mertle smilled.
"Where have you been all this while". Turning back to Tomi, the brunette noticed that Eagle had already gone ahead to pay for the tickets.
"I have been busy juggling my work and taking care of Mertle as well as partying. This baby belongs to Edward".
"But didn't you both break up on graduation day?"
"We did but he invited me to a party too years after and thats when it all happened. I will tell you more later. Your friend is coming back with the tickets".

"He is Eagle".
Taking a look at the young man who once attempted to win her attention back in high school, Tomi looked at Eagle, shock that she did not recognise him earlier on. "Eagle, hi there its been a while?"
"Hi, Tomi. Long time no see. I am just watching a movie with Mads tonight".
"Are you both dating?"
"No ways". Eagle and Mads replied in unison.
"What film are you guys watching?"
"New Mutants, I guess, Eagle bought the tickets so............"Pointing at Eagle before jabbing him in the left rib, Mads giggled.
"I am watching New Mutants too. Please wait here while I buy a ticket for my daughter and I. Help me look after her". Handing Mertle to Mads before running off to the counter.
"Need a hand?" Turning towards Mads, Eagle smirked while looking at Mads with both her hands full.
"Carry Mertle for me?"
"Alright but your coffee is mine". Taking Mertle from Mads and laughing. "Hi Mertle".
"Yeah right". Jabbing Eagle in the ribs again, the brunette caused Eagle to fliched just as the red head daughter of Tomi greeted him in return.
"I am back. Are you both ready?" Tomi asked.
"I certainly am but I am not sure if Eagle is".
"We will leave him behind than", Taking her daughter back from him before heading towards cinema number 1 which is IMAX.
Grabbing Eagle by the wrist, Mads dragged him along. "We are watching 3D tonight and don't worry, Tomi was just kidding".
"No I am not".
"I want some lolis".
"Alright, Mertle, darling, I will give you some as soon as we enter the cinema".
"No I want it now. I hate you mom".
"Really? Tomi? You are going to let her just be rude with no consequences", Mads asked looking annoyed.
"What would you do yourself?!" Tomi retorted.
Mads could not answer as she never really had to discipline her well behave daughter which she had with Eagle. All of them headed into the cinema which was relatively spacious.
"So what are you doing with yourself?" Tomi asked after handing Mertle the bag of lollies which she bought while purchasing a ticket for both her daughter and herself.
"I am now an eagle rider and still working in the same clothing shop with Sarah".
"That is great to hear. Is Eagle an eagle rider too? I have always heard about eagle riders and what Mr Buffalo said about them"
"He surely is. Come to the School of Paradeisos this saturday and I will show you my royal blue eagle. Her name is Azul. Lunch will be free".
"It is a done deal. I have always been interested in eagles". Little did Tomi remember the first sentence Eagle said when they first met. If I could only fly like an Eagle.
The film was so enjoyable that time seemed to pass quickly, Mertle fell asleep on Tomi's lap. After walking to the blonde and her daughter to her car in the parking lot and making sure she got into the car safely, Eagle and Mads headed to the front of the shopping mall and got into the brunette's car. On the way home, Mads said, "I have a good time tonight. Birdy can stay with you every alternate week if you like".
"Sure thing. Thanks Mads".
"No worries, Eagle. Good night". She kissed him goodnight on the cheek before dropping him off in front of the School of Paradeisos. Since the main gate was shut, Eagle had to use one of his keys to open the small side gate on its left.
"Good night, Mads and thanks for the lift. Have a good night".

Techno-Heretic
Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.
