Day TWENTY FIVE : Day TWENTY SIX : Errol and the GAK

Day Twenty Five : January 27, 2010 : Wedneday

I finally found Errol! And he took me in kindly... Which I found pretty odd. He told me all about my journey, and what he's read in my blog. Really weird stuff, he said. He's probably just teasing, though... right?

Anyway... So I saw where he lives, and I didn't expect it to be so... warm and homey. I've been here before, maybe twice. And seeing it right now makes me want to just cuddle the house. It's been so long since I last saw it, and I never thought it would feel so familiar to be here again.

He introduced me to what he called a GAK. Is that some kind of creature? There are three of them, and I can almost not tell one from the other... The one he called "Gee" is an oracle, I think. And we spent some time talking about Yelli and Elli. The one called "Aye" is a centaur of some sort. She kept running around, causing noise and mess. The one called "Kay" is a siren. She was the shy one, and I didn't get the chance to talk much to her. Errol told me that singing was her passion... I asked for her to sing, but she wasn't allowed to sing in here. She might hypnotise everyone...

I was treated like a visitor. And I only watched from their couch, patiently awaiting something to drink. But watching them siblings, watching Errol running the house, looking busy... he looked very changed or mature or something. He didn't seem like the person I met before. He was something else now...
He's also too kind to his sisters. TOO kind.

I will be sleeping in the room I slept in years ago. The room Ella offered me, the guest room. Speaking of Ella, where is that witch? Hmm...

Day Twenty Six : January 28, 2010 : Thursday

I woke up early and saw Errol doing the chores already. I decided to help cause I'll be asking for money later on, before I leave. Anyway, he's been really nice to me so I should give him a hand. And he looked really grateful (and shocked) when I offered to help. It almost made me feel guilty.
I didn't hate helping out, to be honest. We do these kind of chores back at Apollo together, but we don't do it as often as when we were younger. Doing them with Errol takes me back to the good old days.
And I got to talk decently to him. It's been years since I talked to Errol like that. It felt familiar and warm, almost like it was Ella I was talking to. She's all gentle and motherly now... she used to be boyish and adventurous, running around Earth in a dress. I won't get to see her because she's studying a higher level of witchcraft, Errol said.

I saw a little bit magic from Errol, too. I almost wish I was a warlock. I'm so envious... it looks so cool. And I also got to eat with the GAK during lunch. It was Kay who cooked because Errol wasn't a very good chef. It tasted so heavenly, like my mother cooked it. It's been a while since I last ate decently.
Actually, now that I think of it, Kay is the one who reminds me of Ella. Errol sort of reminds me of Elie and King Ar. Mostly King Ar... He's got that weak, important aura about him.

But Errol went out somewhere and asked me to take care of the GAK. My night was horrible. I tired to make them sleep but we ended up wrestling. Weirdly, I lost.
