A girl-friend for Callo
A girl-friend for Callo?
It was a hot day… The whole group rested in the shade of one of the rare trees on Nihil-Field. The next town was only 10 minutes away, but they just couldn’t afford walking any longer… Ary was hanging somewhere between the branches, asleep already. Ledah used his wings to cool himself. Yuna tried to catch some of the air whirled around by the blood red wings. Ifrit lay in the sun. The sun made him happy, as did the heat. He could feel all the fire-mana within him boiling through his veins and that was a great feeling for the Fire-God. Callo leaned on the tree, his blond hair curling slowly from the sweat and the heat… it was a weird sight to not see his all so smooth hair in such a shape… It was proof enough for all of them that a break was necessary… even though it was only a short way to town.
Suddenly a wave of heat surrounded them… the whole group groaned. In a flash of red, the Great Spirit of Flames appeared in front of them. Flamera looked at the exhausted group in surprise.
“What is wrong?” She stood next to Ledah now, looking down on him with a superior grin. “Is the heat too much for you to take?” Ledah only frowned but didn’t say a word.
“…of ice, I call upon you by our pact! FROSTA!” A yell from above them was heard… then only a giant splash and what was left was a soaked wet Fire-Spirit and a frightened Ifrit. Everyone looked up at Ary with a thankful grin.
“Be gone, Flamera. Last thing we need is your heated aura here. Go back into the desert where you can’t bother anyone!” Callo stood in all his glory now. His hands played with the hilts of his weapons, showing to anyone the he was ready to fight if necessary to get rid of her.
“Pish, you are such a spoil-spot, dark elf! No miracle that you don’t have a girl-friend so far!” And with a ‘Flamm’ she disappeared again.
“Fortunately…” Yuna sighed and hang herself on Ledah again to get more of the air he whirled up with his wings.
“…But isn’t she right?” Ary hopped down from the tree, landing next to Callo, musing him all over. “He is so pretty and still doesn’t have a girl-friend!” She nodded her head aside.
“P…pretty…” Callo looked uncomfortable… He didn’t like the direction this conversation was leading towards…
“Doesn’t make me wonder at all... if he goes to a bar and a girl tries to speak with him, he growls at her and she runs away crying!” Ledah grinned, receiving a smack from the tan man. “Ouch… but honestly… you are over 100 years old and never had a girlfriend!?”
“What about your brother!? He’s five times older than I!” Callo tried to find another person they could tease with this…
“Ifrit is not really what I call… a dream guy. Sorry, no offense, bro.” Ledah looked at Ifrit, blushing deeply.
“Oh don’t worry about it.” He giggled and sat down next to Yuna, now using his wings as well to cool them down. “I know I should act more… adult… to make the girls like me.” He smiled. It was an honest smile: He really didn’t mind it.
“Okay… so back to Callo!” Ledah grinned evilly…
‘His demonic side must be really strong today… he KNOWS what this conversation will lead us to! Such a sadist! Just wait till tonight…’ Callo groaned and turned to avoid them. No way…
“I totally agree with Ledah! You are too handsome to be single! Hey, why don’t we search for a girl-friend for Callo in Nihil?!” Ary grinned brightly and hopped up and down in excitement.
Now the rest of the group seemed to grow all active again as well… The exhaustion vanished a cheerful giggling and chitchatting. They all seemed to be ready to travel on to town!
“Great, let’s go!” Yuna smiled and grabbed Ifrit’s arm. The rest followed them. Callo made his way to Ledah, taking his wrist. Surprised he looked at the elder.
“I promise you this: Tonight will be the worst night in your whole life! I will tell Ary we are going to training and I won’t hold back a bit! You better take as many healing items with you as possible if you want to see the sun rise again!” Callo’s whisper was too silent to be heard by anyone beside Ledah… His death-glare was as cold as ice… somehow it was refreshing for the young Enwa.
“You know, Callo… that’s worth it.” A mean smile appeared all over his face… he looked like a real demon in this particular moment… “Hey Ary!” He ran forward towards the summoner, breaking free from Callo’s grip. Today Ledah was the winner… question was who it would be tonight…

“No… her hair is all black… looks weird next to Callo…” Ifrit really had a talent in picking handsome girls for Callo… anyone stared at him in surprise… But he was always right! He selected the best matches for the tan man with incredible effectiveness. “Look at this girl. She COULD be perfect, but if you take a look at her hand, she wears a ring, so she is taken already… too bad… But the woman over there is cute! Her brown hair and middle-tan-skin matches perfectly!” Ary and Yuna stood by Ifrit’s side, musing his targets. It was a great choice indeed!
“Okay, I’m going to ask her!” Yuna laughed and ran towards the woman. “Excuse me, Miss! May I ask you something?” She smiled in a sweet innocent way at the older woman… she was probably 30 years old, human,…
“Of course, young Lady. What can I do for you?” She smiled.
“Please take a look at the man standing over there!” She pointed at Callo who snarled annoyed… this was already the 7th woman they tried to couple him with today… “Don’t you think he looks… handsome, pretty and really sexy?” She grinned and turned back to the woman. Ledah stood a little away from them all, holding his belly in hard laughter.
“Oh yes, he looks great.” The woman stared at the tan elf in awe and fascination.
“Then this is your lucky day! We are searching a girlfriend for him!”
“What? Oh, fantastic! I was looking for a boyfriend right now anyway! He’s such a cutie!” The woman’s eyes seemed to bore into a now blushing Callo. Even his best death-glare didn’t manage to frighten the human, she already had a total crush on him… “Oh, that must be my lucky day!” She giggled in a shrilling high voice. Her giggle was so hysterical… Ary joined them.
“Uhm, sorry to interrupt. I listened to what you said just now… and as a friend of this man let me tell you: He is gay… sorry!” She grabbed Yuna and staggered her away from the now beaten woman… “Are you crazy!? That woman laughs like a hyena!!! I can’t stand this shrill hyper-voice the whole journey long!!” She whispered into Yuna’s ear.
Callo…who’s keen ears helped him to hear the whole conversation was now just as beaten as the woman they left behind… “Can’t we just go back to the Inn now?” He groaned and pressed the hilt of one of his rapiers to calm himself…
“Sigh… alright… maybe we will have to search in a different town for a girlfriend for you… It doesn’t seems as if there are any handsome women matching with you left…” Ary yawned, now feeling her sleepiness again. “Let’s go…” They picked up Ledah who was leaning against the wall of a house to not fall to the ground laughing. They needed a couple of minutes and a Frosta-shower to calm him down again… However it didn’t take very long for Callo to show Ledah that he didn’t forget what was going to await him tonight… With a single glare, he remembered again… Ledah only gulped… but as he said before: It was really worth it…
