"Hey, hey, wake up already, you are a dragon, you shouldn't sleep so much." Silva heard soone calling out to him. His eyes flickered open slowly, and he saw Sage looking down at him.
"Huh? What happened?" Silva asked as he slowly got up, and she moved her face out of the way.
"What do you an, what happened? You fell asleep. You just woke up, so did Aaron," Sage said. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
When he heard Aaron's na, it was like sothing tried to pop into his mind, but he couldn't recall what it was exactly.
He rembered sitting with Aaron, and after that, it was a general blank. Maybe that was the ti he fell asleep.
"We have to start going if we are going to make good ti," Sage said.
"Yeah." Silva responded and rose to his feet. He saw Aaron about to get on the carriage and ride it. He still had the feeling that sothing was not how it was supposed to be.
But he couldn't tell exactly what it was, so he decided that he would sit beside Aaron and have a talk with him. Maybe he could figure out what happened.
So he walked up to the carriage and got on the coachman's seat with Aaron.
"Nice to see you up," Aaron said. Everyone got into the carriage, and Aaron resud the journey.
"Aaron, you and I sat together yesterday, did we sleep off later?" Silva asked.
"You and I? Yeah, we sat there yesterday. I think we slept off later. Seems we were more tired than we thought," Aaron said, his eyes still facing forward as he rode.
"Hmm, that's weird. I am a full dragon and an evolved being at that. I could go entire months on a stretch without sleep.
I decide when I want to go to sleep, or when I stay awake. That's just how much control I have over my body, yet sohow I fell asleep yesterday night?" Silva asked.
"Don't bother about it too much. It's nothing to worry about. It's just sleep," Aaron said, still keeping his face forward.
"Yeah, it's just sleep," Silva said, but his tone held disbelief. So he decided to talk to the others. He leaped from the carriage while it was moving, waited for it to pass him a little, then jumped into the back.
"You seem jumpy today," Sage said, dropping a small pun.
"I guess," Silva replied with a chuckle. "I have a question though. You guys cooked yesterday, right? At night," he said.
"Yeah, we did. What about it?" Lia asked.
"Did I eat what you cooked?" Silva asked, and then all of them paused.
"I saw you seated with Aaron yesterday night, and, and, and, yeah, I think you ate," Amber spoke up, but she struggled to rember what really happened.
'I guess Amber is talking; no need to worry about her now. I have a different issue.'
"You said you think. What makes you think that?" Silva asked.
"Well, the pots we used were empty, the plates were stained with food, so it's easy to say that we ate, since the number of plates matched.
I think you and Aaron went to sleep after eating," Amber said.
"Hmm, I see. What about you all, did you eat?" Silva asked.
"Why the dumb questions?" Sage asked.
"Yes, Silva. Amber just told you about the plates. That ans we all ate," Lia said.
"So what did it taste like?" Silva asked the best question.
"Huh?" They all asked.
"Well, you see, I can't rember what the food I ate tasted like, so I would like you guys to remind of what it tasted like.
It might sound crazy, but I really need to know," Silva said. The girls all stared at him for a while, and then they finally spoke, all of them speaking at the sa ti.
"It was fine."
"It was h."
"It was tasty."
"It was good."
"I see," Silva said after hearing them, and what they said proved what he was thinking. Sothing was definitely wrong.
"I'll be ditating for a bit, guys. I'll talk to you all later," Silva said and closed his eyes. The girls looked at him with confused faces.
Imdiately Silva closed his eyes, he went into the summoning plane.
"Sothing is not adding up. I don't know why, but it seems that so crucial part of yesterday night is either ssed up or missing."
He telepathically called all the clones to co his way imdiately, and they all arrived in seconds.
"Thank you all for coming quickly. You are all a part of , so you already know the situation at hand. A detail from yesterday night is missing from my mind, all of them, I think.
And I don't know why. Now we all know that it is virtually impossible for us to actually forget sothing. We might not pay attention to it, but it's definitely still in our minds.
So now, why is there suddenly a gap? It feels weird and suspicious, so I want to get to the bottom of it. Does anyone have an inclination as to what happened?" Silva asked.
"We are the sa as you. We know sothing happened, but we can't tell what. Everything is just not there," one clone said.
"Any ideas how to try and get sothing or anything back?" Silva asked while brainstorming at the sa ti.
"I have an idea," one clone spoke. "If you can tell that the mories existed, that ans a small fragnt could not be erased from your mind.
Now you have eleven minds in total. It's possible that the fragnt left in the first mind is different from the one in the second mind.
So like a puzzle and treasure hunt, you can seek out the fragnts in all the eleven minds and piece them together. It might not give you the full picture, but it might offer you a clue as to what happened, and you can start building from there," the clone finished.
"That's a crazy good idea," Silva said with a bright smile.
