Chapter 13: A Feast
A few days had passed. The hybrids were getting quite excited and prepared a little celebration. Silpher, Karn, Ulric and Lorn all walked back carrying some extra food. Tulia, Inna and Lara were all working on the decorations and cleaning up the surrounding area. Bron, Dogol and Hemm were busy getting some firewood. Riley and Tulia were making salads, while Magnus was using his fire ability to cook some more meat.
Overall everyone was looking forward to celebrating their first week of freedom and their success so far. Silpher was taking out some of the Brew boxes that he found earlier. He left about half of them in the packing crates, to save for next time. Lorn was reading the labels of the bottles, “SoulStorm Brew, Berry Extract, Scrab Smasher, McArts, Blue Whine…”. Ulric nodded, “We have nearly every brand here, this should be good”.
After all the preparations, Ulric stood up and made himself heard over the general chatter of the hybrids. “Well, we’ve managed to successfully live outside of the laboratory for a whole week. I think we can safely say that we can probably live out here for our entire lives without any problems. I’d like to thank you all for your excellent co-operation and of course there are some people I’d like to congratulate in person”. Ulric walked towards one of the hybrids. “Firstly, Lorn… Your guidance is pretty much spot on almost all the time, I’ll be darned if you don’t stay up half the night as well making sure nothing happens to us”. Lorn laughed, “Hey, that’s only because I can’t get to sleep as easily as you lot”. Ulric smiled, heading for another hybrid. “Inna, you’ve been a great companion to me and I hope our friendship can grow and grow”. Inna just blushed and blew him a kiss.
Ulric smirked and then headed for another hybrid. “Silpher, Tulia, you’ve been excellent as Betas. I thank you two most of all for your co-operation and helpful natures”. Silpher smiled, “And I’d like to congratulate Ulric on a job well done. You’re the Alpha, man!”. Silpher gave him a high-five, raised his Brew bottle and toasted Ulric. Everyone else joined in and drank. Hemm chuckled, “Man, this is some good stuff, I hope we keep a lot for next time!”.
The food was brilliant, it seems that Bitsy was having trouble trying to make a better meal than Magnus now, he’s really taken an interest in cooking.
Everyone sat and talked for a while, the sun went down and the stars appeared in the sky. The hybrids watched the night sky and marveled at the beautiful sky. A few hours later, everyone was pretty tired and headed back to their huts.
Tulia and Silpher went into their hut. Silpher yawned, “That was a great party wasn’t it?”. Tulia smiled, “Yeah it was… I enjoyed that Blue Whine quite a bit, although my head might tingle a bit tomorrow”. Silpher chuckled, “Mine too… Oh well, good night”. Silpher and Tulia went to their separate sides of the hut and slept. Tulia looked very peaceful as she slept.
