Part 12

“I just got a message from my mother.” Helemia announced. “Our parents are sending us some snacks. Clear some ground right here, about six meters square.”

A few seconds later a huge U-shaped table appeared, piled high with baked treats, cookies, whole fruits, iced fruit purees, and dozens of varieties of small hors d’oeuvres.

“Thank you, we love you too!” the four conquerors called to their unseen parents.

“There’s enough here for five items for each of you.” Karzog announced to the entire gathering. “Form an orderly line, and no taking extras.”

“Ahh, that’s so adorable!” a female Sylvan laughed. “The babies are out conquering, and their parents sent them treats!”

“Don’t be too smart about it, or I’ll call you into the ring for a round or two.” Helemia warned.

“Of course, your mightiness!” the girl laughed, and gave them a mocking salute before moving to get into the line for the snack table before it got too long.

“These Sylvan do like to live dangerously, don’t they?” Helemia commented, and fetched her selections of snacks from the table by Movement.
