Fiction: Group 4
“It’s a standard Component Reactive Overture Wirer, isn’t it? Made in the 2050s, stopped its production
after 20 years due to its incompatibility with the basic upgrade modules” I observed.
Sophie blinked not comprehending what I had just said.
“Anyways, this orb has the power to produce fresh and clean water.” Sophie said.
I raised an eyebrow. Not fully convinced with what this princess had said.
“We have no time for more conversation. We must make haste for the stand, Princess Sophie.” The bunny
stood up and warned. “We still need to find someone who can help us in this quest.”
“I can help out with this endeavor, Princess Sophie.” I offered.
“And I don’t mind helping myself with your gold too,” I thought.
“Oh, you have my deepest gratitude. It’s for the sake of my city and to not fall in to Gospel’s monopoly.”
She said. “I never got your name by the way.”
“Howl, Howl Xiang at your service,” I introduced
All of a sudden, a loud bang echoed through the bar, louder than all the chaos. Followed by the bar doors
flying towards the ceilings. The whole bar went silent.
“Who the hell, did this to my BAR??!!!!” A lady screamed with rage.
I poked my head out of the table but the men that were fighting were too big to see the commotion.
“Lin, we can explain--,” a man tried to say but was flown a few feet into the air.
“I m going to count to 3, and if the person who caused all this doesn’t come out, this bar is going to blow
up to kingdom come.” Lin ordered.
“One…” she counted as I heard a cork was popped.
“Remember the last time she set this place on fire,” I heard one of the men say nervously.
“Two…” she continued as I heard a match lit.
All the bar men began taking cover with tables not taking a chance to escape from the door in fearing that
they’ll get pummeled by the aggravated Lin.
“Oh God, she was about to set the whole place in flames.” I realized.
“Three—“
“WAIT” I shouted.
I raised both my arms up in surrender.
“I started it,” I admitted.
“Me too,” Sophie said which surprised me.
Lin smiled as she blew out the match and placed the cork back to the alcohol.
“YOU TWO, STAY! Everyone else, get the hell out of my bar.” Lin screamed.
“I see we have a couple of royalties in my bar.” She said sweetly.
I was about to say something to soothe her temper but in a flash I was carried off the ground with my back
against the wall.
Lin was carrying both me and the princess with each of us in one her hands by the collar.
“Now, tell me royals. How are you going to pay off all the damages you’ve caused to my bar?” She asked in
a deadly tone.
“We’ll pay it off with the gold over…” I started as I saw all the gold was stolen by the men who were here a
moment ago.
“Over where?” She asked.
I looked nervously at the princess.
“I believe we can have a compromise here,” Crow advised.
“An animatronics’?” Lin was caught off by surprised.
The rabbit signaled to bring us down.
“Once both the orbs had been placed successfully. Legend has it the power of the moon on the eclipsed
night which is tomorrow night, will be able to cleanse the water of all impurities and give all of China fresh
water for all.” Crow explained.
“And how can this help me, doll?” Lin asked inconspicuously.
“Well, as saviors’ of China if we successfully do place the orbs. We would probably be thanked by the
people of China and be rewarded for our assistance.” Crow explained.
At that exact moment, I swear I could see Lin had dollar signs in her eyes.
“But this is just a legend, isn’t’ it? What if it doesn’t work?” Lin asked.
“Its our only way to pay you back for all these damages so what have you got to lose?” I challenged.
