Chapter 2

Rose's POV

"Oi! Wakey-wakey!"

I opened my eyes to see a dirty boy with wild black hair and tanned skin. He was giving me a chipped tooth grin. "Yeh up?" He asked, even though it was obvious. "I am now! Kenjen what are you doing here?" I grumbled as Kenjen got to his feet. "I'm 'ere to give yeh guys a present!" He walked up to Sparrow who was still asleep. "Wake up Sparrow!" Sparrow yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Kenjen?" He said sleepily, Sparrow sat up. "Hi!" Even though I wasn't always happy to see Kenjen, it made me smile to see Sparrow so happy. "Kenjen, you said you had presents?" This would have sounded rude to anyone else, but Kenjen was a bandit and grew up surrounded by them, he's probably heard ruder. Kenjen flashed me a grin. "Yeah!" He reached into his small brown leather bag and pulled out a knife. Not just any knife. Sparrow's knife. Sparrow's eyes widened as Kenjen handed him the knife. "Found that with some shady guy that my dad and me robbed." Kenjen said it like it was normal. Then again, for him it was normal. He inspected it. The knife had a golden handle with two strange gems encrusted into either side of the hilt that gave the silver blade an unearthly glow. I noticed that a small ring with a long piece of string tied through it on the end of the handle had been added.

"This is my knife! THIS IS MY KNIFE!" Sparrow yelled excitedly. He looked so happy it made me warm inside. Normally I wouldn't approve of Sparrow having a knife, but this was no ordinary knife. It was from our father, Sparrow had never met his father so this knife meant the world to him. I, on the other hand, have met our father. I remembered so little about him though. The most vivid memory was him giving his knife and told me to give it to Sparrow when he got older and even that memory was fuzzy. I could mainly remember his eyes. His kind, sky blue eyes that were full of sadness and pain at the time.

"Rose? Stay with me 'ere!" Kenjen said, snapping his fingers in front of my face. "Okay what is it?" I asked, slightly irritated. "I got a gift fer yeh too!" He reached into his bag again and pulled out two bright red apples.

"Fer yeh, yer Roseness." He presented the apples as if they were a crown. I laughed and took the apples. He was so cute, in a little kid kind of way considering he was. Kenjen was about as old as Sparrow and he was like a cousin to me. I was about to take a bite of one of the apples when a thought occurred to me. "Kenjen, did you steal these?" I asked. He grinned impishly. "Maybe."

I sighed and handed him back the apples. "Kenjen you shouldn't steal things." He looked at me confused. "You ain't taken 'em?" I looked at the apples. They looked so tasty…no, I can't, it wouldn't be right. "No I'm not taking them." He shrugged. "Suit yerself." He put the apples back into his bag. "So um uh…" I raised an eyebrow. Why did Kenjen sound sheepish all of a sudden? "Could I uh…could I stay 'ere tonight? Dad's got an expedition and I ain't got nowhere to stay. I can get my own food." He flashed me an evil grin when he said that. I sighed. "I guess." I couldn't really say no to him after he had found Sparrow's knife. Kenjen grinned. "Thanks Rose!" He gave me a hug. He let go and I checked my pockets for my silver coin. It was still there. I relaxed. "Sparrow you should find a safe place to hide your knife."

"Actually he don't have to. I had my dad put a little ring thingie on the end of it and my mom tied a string through it so he can wear it."

Sparrow slipped the tied string around his neck. The knife hung from the string like a jewel on a necklace. "Now no one can take it!" He said excitedly. He grasped the knife in his hands and smiled. "So Kenjen is staying with us tonight?" He asked. "Yeah! And maybe tomorrow if Rose lets." Kenjen raised an eyes brow expectantly. I thought about that for awhile. Part of me wanted to say no, Kenjen could steal something from the market and the guards could track him to our shack getting us all in trouble. But another part of me told me to say yes, Kenjen had nowhere else to stay. "You can stay for two nights okay? That's it." Kenjen's dirty face lit up. "Thanks Rose!"

Koto's POV

"Kenjen!" I yelled into the nearby forest. No answer. I scowled. "Where has that boy gotten to now?" I walked into the forest calling for my son.

"Lost him again Koto?"

I looked behind me and saw an old friend. "Theresa, what are you doin' here?" The blind seers walked up to me. "Same as you. Looking for your son." To most this would have made no sense, but I have known Theresa for a long time. "Theresa I told you, my son cannot help you, Silvia won't let allow her child to go on some crazy adventure. Not yet at least."

"Ah but he is also your son, and it is not me he needs to help, its Sparrow. If Sparrow is to complete his journey, your son must travel with him."

"Why? If your talkin' about the Spire then don't worry. As soon as Sparrow takes a step into that place all of his Immortal blood will be awakened, he'll be powerful in there and he won't age nearly as fast as he would out here."

"But his power will return to normal upon leaving the Spire. And that is not what I am concerned about. Sparrow is a good person, but he is too good. He lacks the ruthlessness and cunning your son has. What better partner than the child of the son of Twinblades and The Immortal Krios?"

"Leave my mother and father out of this." I growled. "I can't even find my son right now okay?" She was quite for a minute. "Do you know what happened to Thoran and Serinia?" She asked, even though she already knew. "Yeah I know. They should have accepted The Immortals offer for immortality five hundred years ago."

"My brother and Serinia wanted to live forever but still be able to be killed. They still wanted the thrill of life and all its dangers."

Yeah," I chuckled. "He was always a strange guy."

"Your child will be a part of Sparrow's journey, whether you like it or not. It is his destiny." She disappeared as bright lights swirled around her. "Hmph, well for all I care destiny can go screw itself." I muttered walking back to my camp.

Alpha: I hope you guys liked the second chapter!

Avo: Hmm Omega still isn't back…I hope my brother went easy on him.

(Dark portal and Omega flys out of it)

Alpha: Whoah! Omega? What the heck happened in there?

Omega: S-so m-much d-d-darkness…the banshees…they were everywhere!

Avo: I guess Inferis doesn't understand restraint. Ah well I'll heal him from his traumatization.

Alpha: Oh please, there's no hurry. Alright guys! Until next time Waffles and pancakes….wait have those been invented in Albion yet?!OH CRAP I THINK I JUST BROKE 4TH LAW!
