Finally, I went home and tried to calm down. It took me a while, buteventually I was able to gain control of myself enough that I could relaxa little...before my mom was to come home from work.When my mom came home, I persuaded her to go over right away, as I feltlike something was building up inside of me, and I would need help beforeI exploded.When we got to Melody's house, we found they had another visitor as well,an older lady who was introduced as Melody's grandmother, Willow.The older. ”“I don’t mind training, Sir.”“You train too much in my opinion. It is worthy of praise for a New Viking to excel at these skills, but you are not even sixteen yet and there are few that could match you, fighting should never be an obsession.”So my school year ended rather nonceremonial and I had no real plans for this summer break, but I had not heard from father or any orders to return to the Burg.After an extended swim, I went back to the Inn. Uncle Hogun was not there and Hein one of his. "Thank you, Daniel, my boy. I hated seeing the woods like that, and I couldn't do nothing about it. I ain't the only one happy to see it, neither. Folk are saying they're glad to see everything all cleaned up again. Maybe that they can hunt mushrooms again. Fitting thing for Earth Day too, I'm for thinking." I'm so proud of you, Daniel," his mother beamed."Hey, what about me?" Daniel's father said with a laugh while wiping sweat off his brow with the rust-stained sleeve of his shirt."I'm proud. Can I squirt on your ass?” he asked with a sly smile.She laughed softly. “Yes, you pervert. You can squirt it on my ass. Just don’t get it in me.”As he began stroking her again, his tempo building, I realized what an opportunity sat before me. I eased out of my chair and slipped quietly out of the office. I walked lightly across the dining area to the storage room door. I smiled as I saw that it wasn’t completely closed. ‘Good’, I thought, ‘it won’t make noise.’ I slowly pushed the door open.
