After the battle
Light shone through Deltora it was as if everything dark was gone. As if only love, hope and cheers filled the atmosphere, but deep down in Leif's mind, where he dared not to venture now, he knew that it was just a matter of time.
Lost in thought, he then finally realized Jasmine waving her hand in front of his face. How beautiful she is he wondered, blushing deep scarlet as he realized what he had just thought. He saw Jasmine give him a weird look and then call his name several times.
"...Uh..yes?" he stammered.
"Why aren't you cheering as you're people are Lief ? As you should be." She pouted.
He couldn't contain himself he laughed at the childish look on her face. She was glad he was smiling now, but what was with him before she wondered. Oh well, she thought it does not matter anyway. She flicked her hair over her shoulders and gazed out at the rising sun, somehow a breeze picked up and something stirred inside Lief.
He stared at the girl, looking out towards the sunrise, watched as her eyes shone and her hair flowed like silk with the breeze .
He heard Jasmine say time to go for it was nearly morning and time for his 'duty' to start once again. They arrived back at the palace luckily they had a couple hours to rest .
When he was finally woken, by his mum around noon, he wondered why he had not been woken up earlier. To his surprise Sharn told him that she had canceled every meeting and event he was to attend to that day. That he had earned it, and more.
His heart swelled with love and happiness for his mother and he was glad he had the day off.
His mother left and 5 minutes later he was dressed, but Jasmine as happy as ever came in and dragged him out while he was just finishing buttoning up his shirt. She obviously had heard the news .
The next day it was back to business . Though less complaints came than in the dark times and people brought gifts that Lief graciously turned away, with his mind somewhere else the dark thoughts that wondered his mind were all but forgotten till the meeting that took place at noon in the hall.
"I fear that our journey is not yet done" Lief said aloud. Heads turning to see what he was going on about . He had voiced his thoughts to the crowd, his voice shaking.
"Though we have weakened and in ways defeated the Shadow Lord, he's still out there! Roaming the Shadowlands or the portion he still contains! " he continued, anger in his voice, but not at the others but himself.
He stalked out of the meeting when it came to it's end and ran to the library. The annals have to have something within them. It told of Dorans journeys and only his, no one else but he had discovered secrets lie everywhere.
He heard a rustle of paper come from the corner. It was probably just the wind he thought. He turned back to his reading, but something lurked behind him. Lief was so caught up he didn't feel the movement or see the ruby pale. Something was coming towards him.
