Chapter 73: CraftyCorn Vs Poe: Elegant Reasonings

CraftyCorn was running. She was running to try and catch up to either Bobby or to DogDay. She stopped and was out of breath.

“Oh no…” She said, “I'm… out of breath… I gotta call DogDay.”

CraftyCorn got out her phone to call DogDay, but after waiting a few seconds, DogDay declined the call, hanging up in an instant.

“Damn it!” She said, devastated, “Why are you acting this way, DogDay? Why?”

“Are you ok?” A voice asked CraftyCorn,

“Huh?”

CraftyCorn turned to see Poe and got scared for a split second.

“Oh, it's just you.” She said, “Was your name, Poe?”

“Yes, my name is Poe.” Poe replied as they straightened their glasses, “Hmm… It appears you're having trouble with this DogDay friend of yours, correct?”

“Yeah…”

“What is DogDay to you?”

“Hmm?”

“Like, what do you view DogDay as?”

CraftyCorn closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

“I view DogDay as…” She replied, “...As a brother. He and I always had each other's backs, no matter how bumpy the road gets… The same goes for CatNap… It's like I was a little sister that always gets to go on these magical adventures with her two big brothers… We never had siblings in our families, so we became one in spirit. It's been that way for years, but then my sacrifice tore it apart for a year…”

“Hmm?” Poe wondered, “Your sacrifice?”

“Oh… You probably never knew about The Hour Of Joy…”

“I actually do… All I did was hide in my apartment until it was over. Never done anything huge.”

“I see…”

“But seriously though, what did you sacrifice?”

“...Myself. It was a duel against Morris, or, RebelRaven…”

“Another raven critter you had trouble with, huh? And I thought I was causing trouble to others when I was in high school…”

“Well, here's the thing. You're different from RebelRaven. He's rebellious yet you're… mysterious.”

“I'm quite the interesting critter myself. I'm a night owl and I don't usually like the sun all that much, which explains why I'm usually out here when the sun is not shining.”

“Yeah, it's pretty cloudy for the month of June lately…”

“Which is good, since the weather is in my favor lately.”

CraftyCorn chuckled a bit.

“Anyways, where have you been when your sacrifice took you away from DogDay and CatNap?” Poe asked her, “The two critters you viewed as your brothers when you're not by blood…”

“I thought I was gonna die…” CraftyCorn replied, “But surprisingly, I didn't. This guy named GuardianDove gave me another chance at life… I didn't know it was possible for one to do so… But he did give me another chance, but in exchange for his life, which is why you would view him in your dreams. And after that, I ended up in the middle of a forest, lost. But then, I still have something within me, my artistic creativity. I built a beautiful zen garden and pretty much calmed myself down by being one with zen, ha ha…”
