HEY! I love Orphen and Cleo so I decided to make them my next vict- I mean... Something else other than what I was going to say he he *Sweat-drops*

~ Anyways I don't own any of the characters in the story ~

Cleo's P.O.V

" My poor aching feet," I say loudly just so Orphen would hear me, "I think my blisters have blisters."

I could see the anger marks all over Orphens face and it gave me some satisfaction. So I kept complaining for another half hour or so. I was concentrating so much on complaining i didn't pay attention to see what was in front of me. *WHAM*

" OWWW!" I yelled rubbing my poor, bruised nose.

I looked up to see Orphen with his fist raised in the air and anger marks all of him. I think I might have pushed him a little too far. UH OH

"WILL YOU SHUT UP FOR JUST 5 SECONDS!" He yelled after turning around and glaring at me.

"WELL I'M SORRY IF I'M TIRED AND WANT TO REST SOMEWHERE I MEAN WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR HOURS IN THIS STUPID FOREST WITH NO END!" I yelled really pissed off.

We were in a large forest that seemed like it would never end and Orphen said there was a village here. I wonder if he had noticed that the closest thing to a village here was an abandoned tree house we passed like 3 hours ago.

"Cleo just trust me I know where we're going," He said a lot calmer than before, "And we're almost there."

Right after he said that I felt it. I had this feeling in my gut. It felt so familiar yet so strange at the same time.

I walked forward as if in a trance. When I reached a gate I saw something but it was so blurry. As I tried to get closer Orphen stopped me.

"Cleo you can't go in there," He said his face completely serious.

"What in there is so bad I can't go in" I asked confusion probably covering my whole face.

"Nothing bad is in there it's just only sorcerers can get through the gate safely."

I was surprised. My eyes widened and I backed up from the gate a few feet.

"Why'd we come here then?" I asked still thoroughly confused

"Your tiny brain won't be able to comprehend the reason even if I told you." He said while turning back into his arrogant self.

Magic sweat-dropped and backed away from me and hid behind a tree then peeked to see what happened next.

I was so pissed. I mean beyond mad. So I stomped over to Orphen slapped him and stepped on his foot and started walking away.

"Fine!" I yelled, " Go in without me for all I care. I'll be out here with Leki in this stupid forest if you need me." I stuck out my tongue and went to the forest.

Normal P.O.V

"Master shouldn't we go after her?" Magic asked worriedly looking in the direction Cleo walked off in.

" She'll be fine for now," Orphen said, " I'll check on her later,but first I gotta talk to a friend in this village."

He walked into the gate knowing that Magic was following him and went straight to a building that was familiar even though he hadn't been there in a while.

"YO," Orphen yelled in the building which seemed to be a house, " GRAMPS YA HERE"

When an old man walked in Orphen walked up to him and gave him a pat on the back and a smile.

"Krylancelo it's great to see you." The old man said smiling.

Orphen's face went from smiling to serious in a second.

"Gramps," He said, " I heard a rumor that someone saw her again. Is it- is it true?"

The old mans smile turned into a grimace as he answered.

"I am sorry Krylancelo but I have seen hide nor hair of her in 5 years."

Orphens face went completely dejected. It looked like someone stabbed the one he loved in the heart a thousand times in front of him.

" It's O.k gramps," Orphen said with a sorrowful smile, " but would you mind giving us some more supplies we gotta leave really soon."

The old mans face seemed even sadder when he heard that.

"So soon but-"

"We have a girl outside the village waiting for us and I have to check on her." Orphen said seeming a little happier at the mention of cleo.

The old man nodded and guided to them small shop where they bought supplies.

" I shall walk with you both to the girl you speak of." The old man said suddenly.

Orphen looked confused and was about to ask why when the old man answered the unasked question.

"You will easily get lost with out a guide out there. I can easily bring you to your friend and meet her at the same time."

Magic was about to thank the old man when he thought about his name.

"I'm sorry but I seem to have forgotten your name" Magic said while scratching the back of his head.

"No I just didn't tell you,child," The man said, " I am Ulse also know as Elder Ulse leader of this village."

Magic was in shock he didn't know that about this man. H e thought he was just a regular shop keeper or something of the sort.

When that was done they headed out. Orphen and Magic had to be quick to keep up with Elder Ulse. After about 5 minutes of walking they found Cleo and Leki unconscious next to a tree.

"What do you think happened, Master" Magic asked looking at the two next to the tree.

But before Orphen could answer Cleo woke up. She looked weird like she was in a trance.

Cleo's P.O.V

What happened to me. All I remember is leaving Orphen and Magic near that gate then poof I wake up here.

I looked up to see Orphen and Magic looking at me with worried eyes. When I pass them I see and old man. He looks so familiar. I don't remember where i've seen him before. Orphen sees me looking at the old man.

"Cleo this is Elder Ulse," He says pointing at the man, " Elder this is Cleo"

Elder Ulse was studying me so intently I don't think he heard Orphen introduce me. It seemed really weird. But what shocked me was what he said next.

"A-AK-Akira!"
