Finding the Barracks 'Are you sure you're going the right way, Cloud?' Midnight murmured telepathically to the newborn kittenboy Zahdl. She gazed at the group of buildings quickly approaching the traveling duo, pondering the intent of the hovering Zahdl in front of her.
The kittenboy stopped in his tracks for a moment and gave a slight nod to his guardian's question before continuing to hover forward again. ''I'm pretty sure', he paused in his message, speculating on what to say next, ''this is where I feel drawn too,so I hope so.' His cinnamon brown ears flicked up slightly, as he anxiously hovered up to the building with the raindrops etched in into its structure. Upon entering the building, Cloud hovered around the corner of the hallway closest to him, his chestnut colored tail gently swishing behind him .Noticing one of the rooms was currently being occupied on this side of the hall, he directed himself to the opposite hallway trying to avoid any possible contact. The Zahdl floated towards the last door on the hall, opening it, and then closing it upon his entrance.
Midnight sighed, watching her helplessly distressed partner enter their new house. If this guardian still was able to show facial expressions, hers would definitely be a frown. She couldn't understand why he was so afraid of others. It was hard enough for her to manage to get him to say a few words to her, let alone carry a conversation with her. "Oh Cloud, what am I going to do with you?"

The Aftermath
After a long quest, Myu and I finally finished our search for the vanilla smelling herb. Believe it or not, this quest was too difficult with the cunning knowledge Myu and Nyx both possessed. The small herb was located within a locked door. This door resided within the depths of an ancient ruin�
After that�then there is the negative stuff that occurred. One of those is the fact that Myu fell� That�s my fault�if I spoke aloud, she wouldn�t have fallen in the first place! I know that if I spoke�she would�ve rejected me�Even if I couldn�t avoid the rejection�I still could�ve prevented her from getting hurt! Well, at least Myu seems to have got over that�thankfully�
Despite me not wanting to do this in the beginning, I am glad I went through with it. It was an honor to work closely with Myu and her guardian, Nyx. Though�I need to make up for my mistakes with Myu�The pain of the rejection still lurks within the depths of my heart. Then�Midnight�s betrayal�I don�t even want to get into that�
Midnight is still making me go to the post office to finally respond to Mag and Snow�s letter. It�s still better than starting another quest right after the first one. Hopefully after this, Midnight will allow me to go back to my ponderings of the world�

The Aftermath, Part II The kiddo and I finally finished our epic quest that Lady Perla gave us what seems to be forever ago. It was�interesting�. I can�t even fully explain what I�m feeling right now�
I think Nyx�s is an interesting character, but I�m not too sure what to think of Myu. I told Cloud what to do when Myu fell, and she still got angry with him! My poor baby�he started crying when this happened�He was only trying to help! To make matters worse, he isn�t even talking as much as he did before with me. I can tell Cloud looks up to her a lot, so why would she do this? She seemed to get over it�but I know it�s still affect the kiddo�I just want him to get over it.
It wasn�t difficult�and I�m still�.glad I made him do this. I�m sure he�ll come out stronger than he was before�I just won�t him hurt anymore�
This dead thing without having a body is really started to burden on me. I don�t feel I can even comfort him in the proper way because I lack some of the normal functions I was able to do when I was alive. I can�t rock him telling him everything�s going to be okay. I can�t hug him to show how much I care for him. I can�t even read to him books, and have him sit in my lap while I do so� I�m glad he was put into my life�I wish I could do the things a normal parent could do�I am like his parent�right? Cloud�s my second chance� My second chance at everything I lost before for�and I don�t want to loose him�

Aftermath Part III “Come on, Cloud!” The guardian groaned while she watched the tiny Zahdl float through their door back into their home. Right around the time she, Myu, Nyx, and Cloud delivered the herbs to Lady Perla, the petit kitten has been acting odd. Or, at least what Midnight viewed as odd. Instead of rushing to back to the Barracks like he seemed to intend earlier, the child’s hovering slowed from a tedious pace, to a lethargic one. The former tiger creature wasn’t sure what to think of this strange development, but decided to just keep a close eye on the small Zahdl.
Cloud, on the other hand, wasn’t exactly sure how he was feeling. He was beginning to have odd tingly sensations that rang through out different portions of his small body. The child was baffled at this new development. He wasn’t sick…but he wasn’t exactly feeling health either. This indeed was strange…. He knew one thing though, that he wasn’t going to continue to stand up for this. Hovering gently over to an old couch, the kitten dropped onto it.
“…Kiddo, you alright?” the guardian questioned as her attention remained focused completely on the small child before her. The feline didn’t respond to his guardian’s soft call, instead, he merely turned over on the couch, shivering slightly in the process. Fear erupted throughout Midnight’s heart. Was Cloud simply ignoring her still? Distraught, the guardian’s mind continued to race. What if that flower actually triggered some kind of reaction in his body? She wasn’t sure if this world did the same as hers, but where she was alive, it certainly did. Were there illnesses in this world too? She didn’t want Cloud to suffer the same fate as she did…
‘Midnight…’ the child turned over on the couch; looking up in the direction he believed the former tiger creature was in. ‘I…feel weird….’ He groaned telepathically while his brown feline ears went flat against his bald head. Cloud’s mind was racing in one hundred places at once. He felt like…talking? ‘I…feel tingly sensations all around…it’s not like…I’m sick….but I ….don’t feel exactly healthy either….’ Cloud’s ‘voice’ quivered.
Being completely taken back by the amount of words Cloud said, Midnight’s attention focused turned completely focused on him. It is times like this, where she wish she could hold the Zahdl in her arms. He was her child to him, and she yearned to be able to do things what she saw fit for a parent to do. ‘Shh…shh…Cloud….’ She responded telepathically back to the cat. ‘Everything’s going to be okay…’ To be honest…Midnight wasn’t sure if that was the truth or not…She desperately hoped everything was going to be alright. She was his guardian! Midnight wasn’t supposed to let things like this happen to him!!
‘…Thanks Midnight…’ he droned once more. The small boy closed his eyes once more, trying to gather his sense of reality. This was definitely something new and weird…His mind was all over the place, and he wasn’t sure what to gather from this. ‘Could you…keep talking to me…until I fall asleep?’ Cloud muttered telepathically.
‘Sure thing, Cloud…Sure thing…’

Who's this stranger on the couch? A slight groan emerged from Cloud’s mouth, as he quickly turned himself over on the couch. It was a long night for both him and his guardian, Midnight. Last night was difficult on the young Zahdl, he was feeling almost sick, and also he was acting in odd behavioral patterns for himself. It was strange though, because he seemed to exchange a lot of words with his guardian, and normally, he preferred being in a silent atmosphere. Cloud was feeling better now, but he still just wanted to sleep for a bit longer.
Midnight was also exhausted from the previous night. Everything was a blur to her as she too, didn’t want to wake up now. She kept talking to Cloud through out the night, and it seemed to soothe him after maybe an hour or so. Unlike Cloud though, Midnight was ready to start the day anew. With the world becoming focused once more in the guardian’s field of vision, something startling was coming into view. There was a naked stranger sleeping on their beat up couch, and Cloud was no where to be seen. Letting out a piercing scream, the guardian’s the mind started racing at mach 5. She wasn’t sure what to do, what if someone kidnapped Cloud? What if this stranger just pushed her sick little Zahdl off the couch, and Cloud ran away? Midnight quickly had overwhelming feelings of doubt, guilt, and fear rush through out her aura.
Having his bronze feline ears perk up from the sudden excitement in the apartment, Cloud promptly pushed his hands against the couch in a quick attempt to sit up. With his eyes still closed, the Zahdl attempted to hover off the couch, only to be greeted by the harsh reality of the cold floor below him. ‘What…the…?’ the child scolded himself mentally, as he started to rub his head slightly. ‘Midnight…what’s wrong?’ Cloud grumbled, trying to force the world in front of him to focus.
Upon hearing Cloud respond to her scream, immediate relief rushed through out the guardian’s aura. He was safe….her entire purpose of life was alright… Staring at this stranger, something started to occur to her. Something that Midnight completely missed before. “Cloud…is that you?” her voice quivered, staring at the child in his birthday suit before her. He….looked like Cloud, that’s for sure. Though, it was quite strange.
Back on Seraile, children grew slowly. Everyday, the changes were minimum, but if you waited a year, the changes were obvious when you compared photographs. This took the former tiger by surprise, causing a huge build up of negative emotions to fill inside her. Life was going by too fast for her… She knew in the pit of her heart this Cloud, and he was growing up extremely fast. Midnight wanted to be a mother to him, but this…he was growing up so fast, he soon wouldn’t need someone as a parental figure. This deeply troubled her…
Looking towards where he believed Midnight was currently located, Cloud gave a slight nod, continuing to rub his head. Though, unlike before, there was something different on his head. Overnight…Cloud grew hair. Putting his one hand on the couch, the cat Zahdl attempted to push himself up. This attempt however, was greeted painfully on the felines end. Pain erupted everywhere through out both of his legs. A stinging throbbing burned throughout the back of his two legs. Where the child’s ankles were, the pain was unbearable. The burning was at its max there, and the pain wasn’t disappearing. Letting out a yelp in pain, Cloud dropped back down to the cold floor below him. Loosing the ability to hover…this was going to take him awhile to get use to.
”Are you alright?” Midnight anxiously spoke aloud. This growth spurt was getting worse and worse by the minute. She has a naked child who can’t walk, can’t hover, and is…well…naked.
”….yeah…” Cloud groaned to his worrying guardian. This was going to take time to get use to. He needed to practice at this ‘walking’ thing he saw both Myu and Snow doing. It was going to be an interesting challenge up ahead for him.
”Good, because…we really need you to get some clothes. No Kiddo of mine is going to be walking around butt naked” Midnight announced with fake cheerfulness. This was going to be interesting new turn in their chapter of life. She was just hoping the next change wouldn’t be so drastic, or so hard on Cloud.
Cloud on the other hand, offered a sheepish grin in exchange to his guardian. The changes weren’t bothering him too much, and he was sure he’d be walking just as good and Myu and Snow soon. Yes…

I still have everything from before...right?
Well…this is certainly and interesting turn of events. Shortly after leaving Myu, Nyx, and Lady Perla, I started feeling really strange. It’s hard to describe, but I was getting odd tingly sensations around my body. That, and I WANTED to be talked too. It was as if I was afraid…Afraid of what was happening. Midnight stayed up and comforted me through out the whole night. That’s when things started getting interesting…
I was awoken today by Midnight screeching about something. Not sure what exactly it was about, I ended up trying to hover off the couch, but only to be greeted by our floor. I’m not exactly sure WHAT happened, but it appears that I can no longer hover. Midnight apparently was screaming because she didn’t recognize me.
Apparently, I’ve gotten bigger during the night. I’m not sure how else to explain it. I know have hair like Myu and Snow do. Midnight also is forcing me to get some clothes to do, because apparently I’m at an age where I need to wear something to cover me. Though I don’t really understand why… I hope I still have everything I had before. I have to admit I’m a bit afraid I’m missing something from body with this change.
Oh, and this “Walking” thing that I’ve seen Myu and Snow do is not as easy as it seems. It’s very painful for me. I’m not exactly sure why either…but Midnight said it takes time to learn something like this.
Anyway, we are going to the post office tomorrow to send a letter back to Snow and his guardian. I hope he isn’t mad at such a late response.. I don’t want to be rejected by him too… I’m not 100% pleased with going, but I don’t want to loose any potential friends…
I don’t want to live in fear of rejection for the rest of my life…
~Cloud
