Morning. The Mountains."Huh?"He rolled away from Samantha who had been in his arms throughout the night. To him, it felt like there was someone by his head, a silhouette was eating his frame up. He could feel it.Suddenly, he heard a feminine voice. As remote as the voice sounded, 'twas pretty familiar too. Like a sense of his being registered it. The words,"Wake up, Player."His eyes twirled in a frits or spaz for a while before they flickered open. As soon as they opened, they caught strange feet by his head. He tried to trace the feet up.All he could see was two huge talons led up like draws of an eagle. He flinched and sat up suddenly. As jumpy as he felt, he tried as much as not to wake his lover."What's this?"He quizzed faintly as he sat up, tracing the woman body seating on eagle legs."You."His eyes widened as soon as his sense registered that 'twas the Alan. The eagle human he'd seen several months

Same. "How far did you have to run? Or how far can you run now?" Wealene was now standing at the front of Kie who was now on his knees, savoring the pain. "You old ass." Kie threw a ball of saliva at Wealene's dress. Wealene looked down in rage at his cloth. Looking up back, he booted Kie in the face, with his pointing shoe. Kie's nose broke and blood trailed off his nostrils. Kie fell on his face, curling up and Wealene put the sole of his left boot on Kie's right ankle and put pressure, meaning to crush it. Kie groaned, doing as much as not scream. "What did you think? That you won? I'd ignore all what you put me through? I'd ignore how foolish you were. A folly which to you, I know you call expertise?!" Wealene kicked him in the ribs continuously, leaving from one part of his body to the next. "And to top it all. After I ignored the dumbness and gave you my daughter. My only daughter. What did you do? You made a foll

In the Woods of Agranah. A Waterfall."Does magic also prevent you from stinking. Does it give you this strange fragrance? You don't bathe, do you?"Wealene asked, tilting his gourd into the water. She was behind him, seated on a stone, by the bank of the water. The water crashing against the green elevated hills flowed in a rectangular pool.Since he didn't get a reply, he allowed himself fill the gourd, took a long gulp then went for another refill. The strength of the sun was diminishing. Twas around the break of its order.Strange sounds of creatures had begun to swell in the heart of the forest, which was reasonable to say, they were in.After having a fill, he turned to her and walked back to seat on the stone next to her. She made the stone vanish as he made to seat and he crashed his butts against the small balls of stones scattered about. She giggled."You must enjoy yourself so much. Mustn't you?"He groaned and dismissed, g

Same. "Hannibal!!!" Kie called, throwing him the sword which was lying on a flat edge. Hannibal grabbed and did a quick but seasoned dances for a while, chopping off two of the heads of the numerous Got warriors. Hannibal threatened, "You have the freedom to leave at this moment if you don't want more dead. I won't say those words again." His face grim, eyes mean. Beside him was Kie and behind the two, were the remaining men of Hanik. There were now nine. Hanik had returned with few other men earlier that day since those who had a fight with Kie refused to return. But Hanik had left again. He refused to be owned by anyone. Seeing that two of his guards were out, the leader of the warriors of Got burned in rage. He climbed off his brown horse and edged forward. With him were fifty other warriors. The odds was great. "I thought you were wise. You know two well that it's just a matter of time before these nine falls before my fift

Beyond the woods of Got."Isn't that a hut I see on the hill?"One of Hanik's men called at the group. Though the fellow was at the back, yet he wasn't carried away by petty talks like the rest of the group.The group looked in the direction of the elevated mound of large earth the fellow had refered to as a hill. There was a lone hut on it. The hut was in such position that, whoever was standing outside it could see travelers walking through the path few metres off the foot of the hill."Come you. We should be certain about who the dwellers are. It could be some warriors of Got or runaways from Agranah."Kie had explained, calling at the fellow who had called their attention at the hut. Kie to Hannibal said,"Keep an eye on Sam. I can't entrust her to a stranger."He'd sneered at Maka who was riding the same horse with Malisa. Maka scoffed then looked away as Kie and the fellow advanced towards the hut."Keep a reasonable dist
