The moon shone brightly that night, almost at the centre of the star lit sky. Gexie sat hugging her knees to her chest trying to ward the cold away, the trees rustled in the background as she gazed at the moon.
The sound of human voices broke the silence of Gexie's camp, a cloaked figure emerged from the shadows, it walked towards her and pulled back the hood, black hair shrouded its face.
the figure drew a sword from its belt, worried Gexie stood up and reached for her staff, the figure chuckled and lashed out and Gexie, she blocked the blow with the end of her staff, spun the staff around and bought it down across her opponents back, the figure yelled in pain and fell to its knees.
'NOW 'it yelled, men sprang from behind trees and bushes, weapons drawn, ran at Gexie, realising fighting would be useless, she ran, darting through the trees, her pursuers hot on her tail.
A large figure came from the back of the group, the strange figure drew a claymore and attacked the men, he killed three men in one sweep of the claymore the others turned and run in terror from the stranger.
He walked over to Gexie, the claymore disappeared, his hair was teal in colour and the top of it was spiked into small backwards pointing almost flat spines, he had a scar in the shape of and x on his face the middle of the x was on the bride of his nose, he wore a black cloak with a large zipper running up the front of it. Gexie, still shaken from the attack raised her staff in defence in case he decided to attack her.
'I won't hurt you' he said in a quiet voice.
'Thank you for saving me, um... Who are you' Gexie said tying to keep the fear out of her voice.
'My name is Saix, and you are' his voice was abnormally calm for someone who had just slaughtered three people.
'G-G-Gexie, I'm Gexie' she said nervously
'Well Gexie, I think there's some one that would like to see you, yes the superior would like to see you indeed... we shall camp here tonight' Saix said
'Ah... Ok' Gexie replied
Gexie sat on the ground a gazed at the moon it was beautiful, she noticed Saix staring at her, turning to him, he quickly turned away and started unpacking things from his side pockets, his cheeks reddening, he threw her a blanket, and without a word curled up in a ball on the ground, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing that this conversation was over Gexie rolled over threw the blanket over her and slowly drifted off.
