Chapter 998: BONUS - : AFTER A LONG JOURNEY
"Mama! Mama! Mama!" Zaya ran in the corridor hastily, her curly, long, auburn hair was tied into a high ponytail. Her cloak fluttered around her ankle, as out there the sky was so bleak, though it was afternoon. Winter was here and Zander and Zenith’s sixteen birthday would come in a few months.
Iris turned her body around when she heard Zaya’s urgent voice, she sounded like she was going to cry.
Currently, Iris was with Aliana, talking about the problem with the foodstuff. There was nothing major, this was annual matter, since the winter was here.
"Mama! You need to see Lil Thing!" Zaya cried by the time she reached her mother, she tugged her hand to follow her.
"What happened?" Iris frowned.
"I think Lil Thing is sick," Zale said, he was Zaya’s personal warrior now. He grew up into a fine man and even though he still used to run his mouth as he pleased, he had toned it down now and looked calmer. "The bear is making weird sound."
Iris immediately rushed with Zaya and Zale, while Aliana came with them as well.
"Mama... what happened with Lil Thing?" Zaya cried, she hugged Aliana, while Iris checked on the bear. It had been a while, since the bear was too lazy to move, but then Lil Thing was always like that, thus they didn’t notice anything strange with it.
"Don’t worry, honey," Iris said in her reassuring tone. "Lil Thing only sick, it will be fine."
Zaya let go of Aliana and approached Lil Thing, she hugged the white bear and cried. Lil Thing stopped making that weird noise after Iris checked on it, but the bear still looked lethargic.
"I will ask Penny to make a concoction, okay? It will help Lil Thing to feel better." Iris wiped Zaya’s tears, as she nodded and hugged Lil Thing.
