Laughter

Misty Mountains

Tiberius POV

I walked towards the bonfire while I see Darius and Garen holding a stick roasting a hare. They see me coming and Garen stands up saluting while Darius continues to roast his hare.

Garen glares at Darius and shouts: "Darius have some respect!"

"Don't worry everyone is resting or patrolling no one can see us isn't that right Tiber?"

"You know I always hated that nickname you made up, I can court-martial you for that."

Darius places down his stick and stands up and walked up to me, he stands a few inches before me and lowers his head looking down on me intimidatingly, I looked up to him and we glared at each other for a while before placing our hands behind in each other necks laughing.

"HAHA!, You court-martial me? then who will protect your godamn ass, without me you will die after stepping on a pointy rock or being hit in the head by bird poop.

"Hey you promised me you will never mention that again!"

"My fingers were crossed behind my back when I said that HAHA!"

Garen looks at the two laughing men before placing his fingers in his forehead and shaking his head: "Really you two, you need to act like adults, Tiberius your a prince and Darius he is your liege, both of you must act like one."

We stopped laughing and looked at Garen.

Darius grins and said: "We're adults you know, we're not virgins right Tiber?"

"Yea we were men since we were fifteen! what about you Garen?

Garen blushes when he heard them say that, he stared angrily at them: "Shut up I slept with a woman!"

Darius laugh: "Yea you met Tiberius cousin Lea during Tiberius' birthday and she went to your house for the night. She told us that both of you only slept that night doing nothing, she told us you were too nervous seeing her naked and you fainted, HAHA!"

Both me and Darius laugh while tears come out from our eyes.

Garen looks in horror: "She told you?!, She promised she will not tell anyone!"

Garen lays down on the ground while rolling left and right crying.

I looked at the rolling Garen and say: "Never trust a teenage girl a secret, they like to gossip."

We continued to laugh when Darius suddenly mentioned what happened to Garen's parents when they found out what happened the next day after the incident.

"Man your father face frowned all day and saying you were a disgrace to the family while your mom cried saying she will not live to see her grandchildren"

Garen looks wide eye in realization: "So that's why Father kept frowning when he looked at me and mother kept crying without telling me why!"

We laughed while Garen smiles as we remembered our childhood.

I looked at my friends and smiled: "Thanks I needed that, I feel more relaxed now I can't sleep after what happened today."

Garen and Darius looked at me and smiled.

Darius thumbs ups and says: "Don't worry we're brothers and your friends we got your back."

"You have always our support if you need them" said a smiling Garen."

We continued to converse when Darius mentioned the rift: "I wonder what was that rift and light, we're not anymore in our world."

Garen looks at me: "Yea, this world is mysterious and strange but we have the legion with us so we will persevere."

Darius and Garen continues to converse while I lay down on the ground placing my hands behind my head and looked up at the stars, as I watch the night sky and the shining stars I noticed something.

"What the?"
