This is Paradise...?

Quill saw that the golden cleaner drake swim over to Zephyr and picked him up out of the water, they then moved him into a are with a bunch of pictures on a board. One of them was a no splashing sign, they then move him back to Poko and some cleaner drake swam up to her to check out the new face in the springs. Quill then said," hhhaaaa, This feels heavenly after traveling for such a long time, I hope one day i can find something else this good. How is the water for you Poko, not to hot for your blood I take it." He can see that she is enjoying her self in the springs, but something is telling him that she might not be 100% relax with this situation so Quill asked," You are probably wandering where I got this 'Berserker' scar aren't you Poko."

" Well I will tell you how this came to be. See I come from a village that was known for its population of old retired heros, but my grandfather was mocked for his heroics, simply because he was a berserker. In my land berserkers are out cast, and monsters, my father didn't want to be known as a Scorchwood so when he married my mother, he took her last name. By now you should know my mother was a noble and as such i was taught to be one, didn't liked that so i ran away to live with my grandfather. Some of the local kids heard about it, so one day they corner me and start carving the word berserker into my chest like a bunch of psychopaths. So now you know where i got my scar, any questions?" He says all of this while petting Ava who had swam up to him at the start of his story.

Quill looked at Poko, then said," Not the first story i heard where the orphan child who grew up to be a handsome man or beautiful woman was hated because they were different, hell one of those same people became the Queen of the land. I did meet her but she was very old, she had the body of a woman but the scales of a snake, i believed her nickname was the snake queen. She mostly used healing magic but she knew magic that could melt the bones off a person if needed. But it wasn't your fault, your parents probably loved you but didn't want to be harmed by ridicule so they left you there in hopes that someone would take you in. People like that disgust, leaving your own new born child to the fate of who ever comes to find her, I have met people who's lives are worst then what their parents have. But that it can not be help, that is the reason my Grandfather made the key of paradise to get away from that world. Whelp we have been in here long enough, okay everyone time to get out and get some food in your bellies. Poko please dry off and change out of your clothing so we can eat those macaroons okay." Quill stood up and walk back into the home to change into his PJ's and night robe.

Quill saw that Poko had finally joined him in the dining hall, he then said," Ok so I didn't asked what flavor you liked so I just made a bunch of different flavors and made a rainbow platter so enjoy." Sitting in front of them is a massive dish filled with many different flavor macaroons, they were ordered to look like a rainbow. This dessert was the only one Quill knew by heart how to make, his grandma loved making them and eating them, she always say that the macaroons themselves reminder her of home and each flavor reminder of each adventure her and Quill's grandfather had when they were Quill current age. There was a special one that was all her favorite flavors, it looked like a rainbow heart, that reminded her of how much she loved Quill grandfather because that was the same one they ate want he proposed to her. Quill had that recipe, but he did not make it because it had that much sentimental value that is should only be made for someone that Quill wants to marry.

Quill picked out a orange one, they were his favorite flavor. Quill told Poko that it was ok that she can take as many as she likes he could always make some more later. He then handed one to Stormfang and Ava, they liked it very much the Quill said," Okay, i'm going to go to bed it is late and I have to do some work in the morning, feel free to explore of a while around the house but please be careful some of the items in here are from my grandparents and I don't want then to be destroyed, so please do be careful when exploring. Night. With that he had went to his room to fall asleep.

While Quill was sleeping, he had a dream where he was back in his home town but this wasn't a good memory dream it was a nightmare bad memory. All the events that lead up to him gaining his scar, once they were finished carving it in he woke up in a cold sweat almost screaming. He had phantom pains from where the scar was, it was dawn so Quill might as well finish his chores now then later. First he if all the food spots have regenerated, then he woke up the cleaner drakes to go and explore the world to clean off any animal that needs it, next he go food for the home, and finally he clean his weapons that he had so far. After all that he went inside to make breakfast, he was going to make french toast with cinnamon and sugar glazing, another of his grandma's recipes. The smell of it went though the house filling the whole house with the smell of something really tasty.

Quill heard Poko say good morning to him, he said good morning back then he set a plate down for her with the french toast, maple syrup, and butter. He also pored her a glass of milk then said," Okay, do pace yourself, it might be good but please take your time chewing it we don't want you choking all right. Oh, do you want to leave paradise today or spend another night here because I do not mind the company plus I can show you more of this beautiful place, though thats all up to you." Quill did want to have more company but Poko was the only person he knew of that he actually doesn't mind being around, post people he meet are either greedy, want more power for any reason, to become someone important or someone who just want to use Quill and the items he has.

Quill looked at Poko, smiled and went back to reading his newspaper,"Well then, in that case, we should head over to the snow area, a lot of beautiful and adorable things live there and I haven't been ice skating in a while so it would be more fun. So when you are ready we should head over to Kan so you can get some more cloths for the area's im going to take you to today." There were only three places that needed special clothing, the cold area, desert area, and inferno area. These three area's hold mostly animals but the ones in the inferno and desert area's hold large species that would be more aggressive then other species, but since paradise had a effect that calm down these aggressive species they would be fine and won't get gored to death.

Kan agreed and gave Poko all the clothing she would need to endure the three area's, back at the home Quill was packing for the trip, he packed snacks, cool drinks, warm drinks, non bladed ice skates and other items he normally brings to the three area's. Stormfang was sleeping on the back porch in a sunny warm spot while Ava hanged out with the other cleaner drakes for the day. Everyone had something to do today and Quill was happy that he had someone to do the stuff he and his grandfather use to do when he was younger, Quill also found the copy of Paradise's Key that he was give by his Grandfather, it was made of bronze and was on a necklace so it could not be lost. Quill put this somewhere where he could find it later after he and Poko were done having a adventure in Paradise.

Quill heard Poko to hurry up so he got all the stuff he needed and jump out from the top floor landing next to her, he then said," Okay lets got to the see the snow bunnies, they should be happy to see a new face around. I should say if you meet a large fluffy bear with a pelt that looks like a cloud that is my grandfathers pet, Skywalker. Don't worry he is a sweet heart and won't attack anyone unless provoked of course, anyway LET GO HAVE FUN." As he said that he then started heading to the Cold area which you can see many tiny adorable bunny like creators. They look like the snow bunnies kids would make out of snow but with fur and moving, one of them sneezed and a cloud of snowflake had puffed out of the tiny adorable bunny.

He felt a tug on his sleeve and saw Poko point at Zephyr playing with the snow bunnies, he chuckled at the small rabbit because it looked like he to turned into a snow bunny. Soon after they had reach their destination, a large ice cave with a frozen lake that looked like it was made of crystals and light was shooting though them making it look like a rainbow, Quill's grandfather had name this cave the Rainbow lake Cavern and was the an area were Quill first learned to ice skate. Quill then pulled out a custom pair of ice skates where they look like they have no blade at the bottom of it, the then pulled out and second pair that might fit Poko. Once he got the skates on he then started skating on the ice with them.

Quill did some figure skating that his mother had taught him, then he saw that Poko was about to slip and fall on her bum so he skates in to help her then says," You have to balance yourself before trying to propel yourself forward, once you have master the balance try moving one of your feet like you are pushing yourself forward, well you are but you know what I mean. Okay i will help you out first before going back to skating." Quill put his hands on Poko's wast to help he balance easier, once she gets the hang of it he will let go and show her how to move forward maybe show her some moves she can do for fun. This was one of his favorite things to do when his mother visited his grandparents, his mothers parents were more serious and not so fun to be around that is why he mostly hanged out with his fathers parents.

Quill went back to what he was doing, Quill spin like a tornado for a whole 2 minutes before almost falling down. That was his longest one yet, his mother can do it for a whole without losing balance or even slowing down, 2 hours had pass and Quill then said," Okay Poko time to move on to the next area, we will need to rest up first so hurry up and get your hot coco." Quill pored two mugs of coco and waited to drink it, once she finish up her mug and some more, they will head out to the desert area. This area was more full of oasis and beautiful desert plants, they would hike though it until they got to the inferno area where they can see some ash puffs and do some lava surfing.
