Tale of the One

Edenia Series

By Beth Hoyer 2022

I’m asked by a High Council member while in their sanctuary residence What do you remember of yourself thinking of our joke? We know was a joke by us the High Council to play games with you as our willing doormat. We apologize for that doormat behavior but needed to know for our records.

I spoke my answer in response from memory of compulsion I saying a story I was acting as a father of the bride at a wedding ceremony for Victoria and Tom. I once on arrival to King Winter's Kingdom found that involved a giant iceberg with another plane there, with the plane landing on top of like a helicopter method.

I getting from Victoria once on arrival Ooh I see that Tom has managed to arrive to there. Oh come along with me Daddy while I show you what you're to wear.

I obeyed to get up and followed Victoria to a bedroom to see her slam the door shut in a bang sound while giving me an all black eyed glare with arms folded making me nervous unexpectedly. I’m not sure of why I was nervous in front of you Victoria displaying that Master’s Source which I can’t explain that answer.

I got from Victoria You need work on your accent to sound like my Dad. Your accent is terrible anyway. Where did the High Council find you?

I sighed and spoke figuring the truth was best which I blurt to my shock Off planet where else?

I blame the snickering Sages with that blurting as I found myself annoyed with my wording to eye Victoria who quit the all black eyed look to show blue eyes in First One style making me relieved.

I wound up get from her Alright just keep people from getting into the room while I change. I'll need your help with zipping me up if you know what a zipper is.

I spoke I do know what a zipper is involving clothes.

I frowned to get her gesturing to the room's door along with a turn around signal I recognized from Jinks' memories to obey to stand back to her while keeping a hand on the door keeping it shut. I kept the door shut to hear noises of Victoria making while in the room I refraining from turning around to see what the noises' source was.

I kept back till Victoria sounded behind me Argh, help me get into this ridiculous dress will you?

I spoke You want me to turn around and help?

Victoria said Just do it. I'm covered up modesty.

I obeyed to frown finding the dress Victoria had in hand seemed big and puffy to me and looked too frilly like food of a marshmallow. I eyed Victoria to find her dressed in a sleek dress of white and gave me a glare which I went up to her and helped her get into the pouf dress. I zipped her up from behind and helped her get on her high heeled boots onto her feet.

I spoke firmly as I helped Victoria put on the jacket with the dress Who's idea was it for you to wear this?

I got a Humph sound from Victoria followed by her speaking once the jacket was on covering her arms I wrote a joker scene of a wedding in one of my Veronica Thomas' books making fun of the fuss that brides go through in a wedding day. Turns out the public loved that book by that joker’s scene enough to try to do it literally. They expect me to do this myself as some spoiled rich brat daughter of a rich man. Besides shouldn't you be wearing the monkey suit involved with that? It's in the closet for you to put on.

I went to the closet as pointed out by Victoria's finger jabbing to find it was a small bathroom with a suit of clothes inside that made me think Clothes was confining.

I spoke while eyeing Victoria looking like a big ball of white firmly Why do you have to do what the public expects you to do when you can do what you want? You got married your way legally from what I remember.

I got a loud Humph sound from Victoria who spoke firmly Then help me out of this ridiculous dress then. I can't move in it. It's useless.

I obeyed to find her keeping on the sleek draped dress and put on the jacket over it while giving the dress a kick with her heeled boot.

I got a Humph sound from Victoria who added while eyeing me You're useful in being my Dad other than going along with what the public says. Anyway just put on the jacket and boots for your feet. I know my Dad very well that he'll balk wearing a suit for anything. He always goes around in what you're wearing but always ads a jacket and proper shoe wear for it.

I didn't say a word went into the bathroom to grab the jacket I put on finding the cloth fit me and picked up the boots to sit on the bed exchanging my black sneakers shoes for them. I got a Humph sound from Victoria once I was done putting them on over my black socked feet to eye her while standing up.

Victoria spoke Alright Dad habitually favors his right hand whenever doing things including picking up things. You're favoring your left hand actually.

I’m not sure of where I came up with that left hand favoring despite Victoria’s pointing it out.

I sighed and spoke as a memory of Jinks' plane being recorded spoke You sure this conversation isn't recorded?

I got Victoria speaking in response Dad used threats to make sure this plane didn't have recorders. He sort of allowed recorders onto Tom's plane actually. Besides I know if there recorders anyway. I believe you can sense them yourself if you got the Master as Dad calls it.

I willed forwards the Master’s Source while staring at Victoria to get her looking nervous before I willed it aside and got her shaking her head while trying to compose herself.

I frowned to speak loudly recalling what Jinks would say whenever wearing a jacket I look like a butterfly.

I got Victoria giving off a Humph sound before speaking Let's get out of this room and wait to disembark the plane for the ceremony. You do know what you're supposed to do hmm?

I spoke recalling what Jinks was supposed to do Escort you to Tom and give you away for the ceremony that is going to be recorded. It's going to be later broadcasted to the public at another time frame.

I got another Humph from Victoria as I without a word left the bedroom sensing her following me to find two females wearing pink dresses like Victoria gathered into the seating room that were giggling loudly seeing me. I frowned as they quit their giggling when Victoria walked out to see them frown while appearing to do double takes and looks of shock on their faces. I willed forwards the mental ability to fold my arms giving the two females a glare to get them both gulping.

I figured they played a joke by me glared as one spoke Alright we switched the dresses for Victoria to wear with a pouf one. We were thinking a spoiled brat like your daughter should wear one.

I kept the glare as another female spoke sounding nervous like the first one I don't want to be here for this ceremony. I got tossed into the ceremony by my Father insisting that I or my friend here would catch Mister Montreal's eye for a pairing to happen.

I recalled Jinks' reaction to tricks like that spoke using the ability's voice speaking Humph Tsk!

I glared at the females to find them both groaning while hiding their faces with their flowers they had in their hands and looking sad to me.

I shifted to eye Victoria to find her speaking a Humph sound followed by going up to me and taking my right arm while adding Just get this ceremony over with. I'm anxious to get out of doing any favors for King Winter for giving me Tom.

I didn't say a word heard ahem noise from Victoria willed aside the Master to keep Victoria's hand onto my arm. I glared at the two females in pink finding them staring at the floor while still holding their flowers in their hands as I felt coldness arriving into the plane.

I heard an awful sound grimaced from that noise fully inwardly to speak firmly What is that ridiculous noise?

I shifted to glare at the plane's entrance to find one of the guards there that was grimacing fully on the faces before the male spoke loudly Bagpipes is what's making that noise sounds like the ceremony is beginning.

I gave up a Humph sound to eye the females looking no longer sad but acting happy to me while gestured to walk out of the plane one at a time by a guard. I found myself leading Victoria out of the plane to grimace inwardly from light shows flashing onto me and her going down the stairs together. I tried to keep myself composed refraining from grimacing as I and Victoria reached the plane's steps to feel my senses blare warning unexpectedly.

You’re filmed! I heard into mind.

I recalled Jinks' filming sense to realize the voice was a part of the senses blaring of the filming. I kept my face composed I’m told I formed a glaring expression of confess your crime twin to Barry’s glare. I and Victoria followed the pink females to the middle of the planes where I spotted three suited up males one taller than the other and spotted a male dressed in a Man of Cloth uniform in black. I frowned inwardly as I led Victoria to the Man of Cloth to find the tallest male in suit going up towards her which I released Victoria's hand off my arm and shook hands with the male. I assumed the tall man was Tom and found him giving me a narrowed glare making me nervous. I found Tom shook the expression away while eyeing Victoria as they both went to the Man of Cloth for the wedding ceremony.

Say something else than that tale. I heard in Jinks’ dining room to find Tom sitting there next to Victoria typing onto the laptop giving her husband an all black eyed glare.

I saw Tom noticed Victoria’s glare groaned out I don’t want to be reminded that the High Council played a part into this situation to pair the both of us despite led to believe it was King Winter himself doing that status.

I obeyed to speak further of another tale with disgust into my voice saying I softly feeling the warmth of the plane while feeling it in motion. I sat in a chair seatbelt on feeling the plane flying in the air while having eyes shut. I sighed recalling the wedding ceremony was involving a deity named Lance Richard. Victoria's wedding ceremony involved a lip lock and nothing else despite Olivia Madison’s as remembered involved just an exchange of rings and pledging an oath together as married. I groaned softly feeling a hand shaking my shoulder which I opened my eyes forming a glare onto my face to find one of the guards thrusting me a bottle and making a drinking sign with his hand. I gripped the bottle and without a word opened the contents smelling the dairy smell of strawberry milkshake making me excited like always smelling that smelly smell. I proceeded to sip the strawberry milkshake as labeled for it down in a slow movement while forcing me to do the drinking right handed instead of favoring my left hand side. I don’t know what’s with the hands’ changeover status as I recalled used my left hand to shake hands with Tom hence the male giving me a glare in response like I did something wrong.

I figured as I drank Nice going should have used your right hand when doing that hand shaking bit. Dumb of me.

I sipped the drink and then thrust the bottle to the guard who took it then shut my eyes while forcing myself to resume a sleeping status. I recalled that Jinks like Tom had some motion sicknesses involving planes and rides despite later getting over that sickness. I recall fully into mind that Jinks never took any nourishment from guards while in the plane due to fears of poisoning status hitting. I felt myself sick abruptly from the familiar throw up feeling hitting me indicating my body was going to give up a nourishment of poisoning status but it would take too much time for it to do the giving up. I kept my eyes shut willing myself to keep my stomach contents down to find the plane landing which I opened my eyes and formed a glare onto the face. I once the plane landed got up escorted by guards to the familiar vehicle holding a Highlander driver to find Barry in his Jinks Montreal’s persona to my confusion as the door to the limo shut. I felt myself about to throw up got handed a bucket by Barry which I threw up into as the driver drove the limo out of the airport to the city. I noticed the car wasn't escorted by police cars instead were slowly driving into the city of New York City. I threw up into the bucket finding myself throwing up the entire contents of the drink and whatever nourishment was into stomach.

I groaned out Dumb of me. I didn't realize that I shouldn't have taken any nourishment from the guards. Now they poisoned me in response.

I coughed to get a hand whacking the back of my head in response to stare at Barry who gave me a golden eyed glare and heard from the Builder It's not poisoning actually Mister Inky.

I quit my coughing to speak Then what's going on?

Barry spoke in response Mister Inky, it appears that you have an allergic reaction to the nourishment Mister Montreal takes for gaining his strength back actually.

I frowned while thrust a napkin by Barry to wipe my mouth with it before focusing onto the Builder who added I sympathize with what your going through Mister Inky. I had similar reactions to foods and drinks I was allergic to. Always throwing it up entirely from my stomach including whatever was in there hence the sickness you're suffering from.

I spoke firmly What else should I know regarding being sick with something?

I frowned to get from Barry Oh in good time you'll find out what it is. I prefer you to find out for yourself then being told of what it is.

I groaned softly hearing Barry's words as Barry added Sages, transport me out now.

I found Barry disappearing in a light show to lean back in the seat eyeing out the window to find the sunlight was gone and that the city was lighted up with various too many lights all over the place. I eyed the city with ranges of emotions running through me like ownership feelings as the limo arrived to Jinks' home building to find the crowd of people gone from there. I found guards coming out of the building looking armed with various gun weapons as the limo entered the garage followed by stopping to park in the garage he assumed. I got let out by an armed guard to hear a Tsk sound from the male. I willed the Master’s Source recalling what the noises were for.

I eyed the garage's entrance to find the door shut after a hand’s wave with all the guards in sight to wave a hand towards it mentally speaking Door lock.

I found a wall of metal slamming down with a loud bang sound along with hearing a faint humming noise of electricity coming from the blast doors I assumed were they. I recalled Jinks reaction to that glared at the guard in response who jerked his head towards the elevator I recalling the guard's reaction as always.

I went to the elevator keeping the ability in control to get inside and spoke Castle.

I found the doors shutting while hearing ahem noises from the twin guards to will aside the mental ability. I found the elevator going up after giving off a light show to my annoyance and recalled fully that Jinks was always annoyed by the computer recognizing him to move. I kept the glare as the elevator reached Jinks' quarters to find Worthington there that gave up a Tsk sound loudly making me annoyed as I walked out.

I glared at the butler who spoke Come with me now.

I obeyed to follow Worthington to the dining room instead of the bedroom to annoyance.

Worthington added Master Jinks, kindly refrain from taking any nourishment while out in public even if it's from the guards in question. You're displaying this blue lined look this Tom your son-in-law displayed whenever he was sick with something.

I eyed my left hand to discover a blue lined look indicating of veins clearly seen to groan loudly as Worthington I eyed faded from view to my confusion while hearing banging sounds. I found two doors in the room swinging went to them to peer to find that they led to the kitchen with the butler inside that was busy whispering to a male dressed in a cook's uniform. I frowned to quit peering and went to sit down at the dining table to find a female wearing a maid's uniform doing a double take look seeing me while carrying a tray holding dishware in her hands. I frowned as the female put the tray in front of me and heard ahem noise from her. I recalled Jinks called her Roberta and that she ahem noises was speak for him to take in the nourishment. I obeyed to take in the nourishment in a polite way of using utensils and sipping the drink of watered milk from the taste fully. I discovered the food was some kind of soup that had food that crunched into my mouth as I bit into it with a spoon spooning it up.

I took my time eating and drinking before once done spoke Excuse me but your name is Roberta is it not?

I eyed Roberta who did a double take look before hearing her speaking Yes the name is Roberta, Master Jinks. Kindly refrain from going into the gym room to do any exercising. I knowing Mister Thunder with his skin problems usually sleeps sitting up while in the TV room so soon after taking in his nourishment. Besides Mister Thunder doesn't do any exercising whenever he's displaying this sick look of his. He takes in nourishment then goes to the TV room to sleep it off while sitting up from the couch. I suggested you do the same if you know what a couch is.

I spoke Worthington, is it his job to show me this room your talking about?

I found Worthington in the room as Roberta removed the tray and carried it into the kitchen which I eyed the butler who spoke Come with me now.

I obeyed to follow the butler to the TV room from memory of it fully to discover a two seat couch in the room on my left with a flat screened TV on the wall off my right.

I eyed Worthington who spoke once we were in the room I expect to find you asleep on the couch sitting up next time I stop by, Master Jinks. The Master always uses this room for sleeping off sicknesses hitting him and for sleeping so soon after taking in nourishment. I suggest you take the habit period.

I’m not sure of that talk by Worthington but I didn’t protest for I gave a head bob in response went to sit onto the couch and sat leaning back shutting my eyes to find myself falling backwards hitting a metallic floor with a grunt sound. I felt my arms grabbed by the Falcons again and lifted up to stand me finding myself in the High Council's presence again making me annoyed. I found Tom there minus his suit but this time was only clad in pants baring his chest and arms that were folded while giving me a familiar golden eyed glare making me nervous unexpectedly.

I shifted to eye the High Council in response to hear from Shad the male speaker from Jinks' memory Spill it, Tomcat on why you weren't fooled into thinking this First One wasn't Horus himself.

I kept my mouth shut while eyeing Tom in response to hear from the male appearing to ignore the use of tomcat for his name He shook hands with me left handed. Horus always does this hand shaking bit with his right hand towards me always. It's never his left hand period.

I grimaced inwardly from the hypnotic voice tone of Tom's to find Barry in his former lame form with a cane appearing in a light show giving Tom a golden eyed glare in response who I saw appeared to gulp from the glare.

I heard from Tom in response Alright Jinks always has this eyed look whenever he saw me as always. I didn't see it from this First One twin when he laid eyes onto me hence I figured he was someone else and not himself.

I again grimaced forming that expression onto my face from Tom's voice to eye Barry in response to hear from the Builder Sages transport Mindbender out now.

I frowned finding the order obeyed to continue to eye Barry as if needing to do it to find the Builder giving me a glaring stare with eyes golden and jabbing a finger aimed at me from a freed hand.

Barry speaking Talk on what your opinions regarding Tom the moment you met him?

I spoke firmly while eyeing Barry His voice is hypnotic when he talked. Besides he made me nervous when he gave me a glare aimed at me. I'm nervous being around him anyway.

I clamped my mouth shut with a frown to eye Barry to get from a Speaker in response Interesting reaction towards Mindbender himself. We do not get it how Horus avoided the fear emotion whenever he met Mindbender even for physical battle fights we had them both thrown in. It was just to get Horus to suffer fear from being in Mindbender's presence.

I frowned to find the Falcons' holds onto arms gone but felt their hands onto shoulders as I eyed Barry in response to get from Shad despite Onya was the previous speaker Sages transport Mister Inky out of our presence now.

I found myself back into the TV room minus Falcons to sit down onto the couch leaning back and shut my eyes only to feel myself thrown backwards to land onto something dirt like making me annoyed. I opened my eyes forcing myself to get up in a fast move awkwardly to find Tom in vicinity giving me a Sinister glare while raising hands up fisted aimed at me and making a come gesture with his left hand.

I groaned softly as I heard Mister Inky you are to fight Mindbender using your combative art training now!

I groaned softly sensing myself filmed from the familiar voiced sense hitting me obeyed to fight Tom. I figured from memory was dubbed Mindbender by the High Council and a former servant of them. I found Tom fighting me using different karate fight style along with a very limber ability to kick aimed at me. I found myself fighting Tom hesitantly till the male got a hold of my neck to dangle me in a fast move while appearing to not strain from that. I didn't panic instead used karate to get myself freed from Tom's hand grip who still used the glare onto me and resumed kicking and fisting me.

I during a bout of kicking and fisting got Tom speaking Your karate sucks, Mister Inky as you're called.

I hate the name of Mister Inky despite the High Council nicknamed me that name with the name of Jinks officially publicity. I grimaced from the hypnotic voice tone while pausing from fighting finding Tom ignoring my pausing attempts only to get the male continued on insulting me with the karate. I felt my mood plummet after Tom kept up his insults which I gave up a loud roar and charged full body attack onto the male who stepped aside and tripped me. I coughed out the mouthful of dirt getting into my mouth and rolled over finding Tom slamming a foot bare onto my chest. Tom was displaying a creepy golden eyed look with jaw extended and having fanged teeth while having a bony hand waving in my eyesight as I felt deadweight hitting me.

I recalled Jinks’ memory of using a shield command mentally spoke Shield.

I found my shield command refused to budge the paralysis I was feeling as Tom removed his foot I saw. I’m not sure of why Jinks’ shield command didn’t work
