2.
The thundering sound of hoofbeats was drowned out by Rishas thoughts.
"What am I going to do?"
Deep in her thoughts she didn't notice someone was talking to her.
"Risha!" The voice was faint.
"Risha!!"
"Huh?"
Risha turned around just to see brown hair. Suprised she just kept riding. The hair called to her.
"Risha!! Why are you leaving!?"
Risha finaly noticed she was still on the horse. No wonder she was staring at hair, she was taller than the person. She jump of the horse and stared at the person under the hair, Shion.
"Finaly you noticed."
"Sorry, I was kinda distracted"
"Distracted again, huh?" The boy put on that deviouse smile again.
Risha was getting annoyed of that smile, "Yes, again. I see nothing wrong with it."
The smile quickly left him, and was replaced by a gravefull look. "Unless if your keeping a secrete."
Risha's throat was left in knots. She started to studer, "W-who says I-I ha-have a s-s-secrete?"
"Risha, I know all about your secrete."
Risha turned pale,quickly she forgot how to speak, stumbling she said,"W-w-who t-t-told y-y-ou?"
The stupid smile returned to him. "No one, I was making the whole thing up."
The color came back to Risha in an instant. Tears formed in her eyes and she beggan to sob. She ignored the words Shion was saying as she ran to her horse. She jump on and rode out of the small town, far from home.
She sobbed and sobbed the whole way. Only three thoughts came to mind:
"I have no real family, and the one I have are a bunch of lying assasins. I can never live in peace."
Tyren sat in the libary, reading one of his many books. He had spent most of his day in the "Room", which was actually a gym. He had been training until Risha had looked inside. After that, he was in the
libary. He was reading a novel, "In Winter's Dark", until Drokiem came in.
"My friend what is it this time?
Drokiem took a while to respond.
"We have bad news, Tyren."
"Well, speak up!!!!!"
"Golk is forming an army in the south. The army will be made up of some of the south's best warriors. Along with some peasants, and recruites from the dark world."
Tyren was astound. "That would mean it could well be over three times the size of what we have left."
"Not only that sir, but all of the people in this army will be well trained, and they'll have the best weapons, straight from Undera."
"I thought we killed most of the dark worlds best smith. How could they make weapons fit for war? Much less for a war against us?"
Drokiem seemed cofused, "Your right. I guess we'll have to find out."
With that being said, the brief discusion was over. Drokiem left, and Tyren went back to reading. Risha would be home any hour now.
Risha was sore from riding for hours. It was getting late, and her steed was already struggling. She stoped to look around. After jumping of slowly, she stared at the horizon. She had no idea where she was.
All she knew was that if she rode more to the left, turning probably at a 30 degree angle from her present path, she should find a town. She was certain, because one lone light shone in the direction. She jump back on
and kept riding. After another hour, or so, she arrived in a nice looking town. Cautiously, she led her horse toward an Inn. She went there and asked if she could have a plce to stay.
"If you can pay, you'll have a place to stay."
Risha dug into her bag, and took out two simple Bronze coins.
"And for the horse..."
Risha dug out Another set of coins, hoping there would be enough to buy food.
"Come this way, this is where you'll be staying."
It was small but it would do. She went to the dinner in the first floor. It was crowded, but she found a table in the corner. She ordered some fish, and listened to some conversations while she waited.
She found none interesting, most where about men wanting to spend the night with her, or some other girl in the place. Only one conversation caught her attention, comming from some men in long trench coats.
Just like the ones Drokiem used. She recieved her food, and tried to listen to the men.
A man with red hair, shorter then his friend,spoke first. "Has the south complitely turned?"
The taller, blond haired man, spoke. "Sorry sir, but there are still some rebels who refuse to turn."
"Well we have to hurry up, we only have a matter of time."
Blonde hair seemed confused.
Red head spoke. "As you know, Tyren might try to stop us, we must form a strong army before its to late!!"
Risha felt someone sit next to her.
She turned, and saw a tall man sitting there, He spoke with a deep voice. "How would you, blonde bueaty, like to spend a night in my bed?"
Risha smiled. "I would love to, but it seems your wife wouldn't want me to."
The man turned to see what she was looking at, in that instant, Risha grabbed a mug and smashed it on his head. Blood splattered at her. She left the room, just as it started to get rowdy, she couldn't stand
men like that. They wear wedding rings, and don't even notice, just because they're chasing other girls. She went outside, and saw that Blonde, and Red head also went outside. She hid behind a load of crates.
Red head was still speakin. "Even if its the last thing I do."
"But, sir, how are gonna kill him? He's practicaly immortal, and he is the best warrior ever."
Risha had no idea who they where talking about.
"Your right, I can't kill him, but maybe, someone else can... Find out more about him."
"But, sir-"
"Now!!!"
Risha waited until they had left to get out. She went into the Inn again, and walked into the dinner, now empty. She sat at the same table, decided to go to her room. There she cried herself to sleep.
Tyren awoke the next morning, he had slept in his libary. He walked over to the stables, nothing. Risha still wasn't home yet. He grabbed his horse, Beserk, and rode of.
Risha sat in the dinner three days later. She ordered fish, for the third day in a row. The room was empty, and so was her wallet. She ate silently. There was no conversations to listen to today.
The door opened and in came a man in a black hooded robe. He looked around and walked toward Risha's table. The man was followed by two more men, and two females. They sat at her table, heads down.
The first man, who was ptobably the leader, lifted his head, and pulled back the hood. Risha stood starin into those blue eyes she knew really well. Tyren smiled.
Melani was happy to see her adopted daughter. She was already getting teary eyed, happy to know that she was alive. Tyren was also crying. Risha looked horror striken, then she finaly spoke.
"What are you doing here?"
Tyren responded. "We need to talk."
"You bet we do!!"
Melani was the one who responded. "Honey, I'm sorry if we kept secretes from you, but it's for you own good."
Risha was obviously mad. "You keep out of this!!! All you do is suck up to this f** here!!"
Melani started crying, Tyren responded. "Risha, it was wrong of us not to tell you this stuff, that's why were gonna tell you it now."
Melani spoke quietly. "Risha, please listen to us, we love you and care about you."
With that she went over and hugged her. Risha broke down to tears, which stained her already dirty clothes.
"I'm sorry Melani. I don't know what came over me."
"It's okay, all that matters is that your okay."
Tyren spoke up. "Like I said, we need to talk."
"Sure, about what?"
"About us, you, me, Melani, Elia, Fier, Drokiem."
"Will you, please?"
Melani smiled as Tyren spoke.
"Okay lets start with what you saw today."
Risha was so happy she was finaly learning more.
"If you want."
Tyren was smiling. "Okay. You saw us over what looked like a dead person, right?"
Risha paled at the sudden memory. "Yes."
"Well, you saw correctly, only thing is, we didn't kill him. The people from the south sent him as a warning, not to mess with them."
Risha aked, even though she already knew. "Why?"
"The south is turning to the dark side, and see me as a threat."
Risha just stared, having no clue of why he would be a threat.
Tyren sighed, "Were warriors, all of us."
Risha felt her jaw drop.
"We are all warriors, and the best."
It was quiet for a while, until Tyren continued.
"Now, something important I wanted to talk to you for a while. About your secrete."
Risha Paled, and beggan to shake.
