Nabiha: Here Come

Xxxxxx

"What do you mean you can't come to Saint's Haven with me?"

The Priest crossed his arms, a frown upon his face, "You know as well as we do, Nabiha. Khayru and I aren't strong enough to head there yet and furthermore we still have missions here to complete."

The blue haired Swordsman whined, "You too Khayru?"

"I am sorry brother," The elf released a soft smile, "but like Hilal said, he and I aren't strong enough. I am sorry to say that you have to complete this venture by yourself."

Released a heavy sigh, Nabiha murmured, "I guess you're right."

Sensing the uneasiness emanating from fromt he Swordsman, the female elf quickly added,"Do not worry brother, we will meet you there the instant we're finished in Carderock Pass." Khayru placed a comforting hand on the Swordsman's shoulder.

Feeling his face heat up, Nabiha released a sheepish smile, "Y-Yeah." He pumped his fist into the air, "Alright then! I'll be on my way!"

"Be carefuly and may the Life Giving Tree aid you."

Waving a goodbye to his brother and sister, Nabiha dashed off towards the Saint's Haven ticket office, skidding to a stop in front of the attendant.

"Welcome to the Ablatross," she greeted, "it's been several days since our crash landing but thanks to you, we're able to finally lift her off the ground." She released a small smile, "and to show our thanks, the first ride to Saint' Haven is free of charge."

Blinking several times, Nabiha crossed his arms, a large grin appearing onto his features as he examined the airship in front of him. Though large in size, the Albatross is one of the best airship and the only airship that is capable of reaching to Saint's Haven, Nabiha's next location and also where he's suppose to meet King Cassius the III, a royal who had wanted to meet him after the news of the Swordsman's accomplishments had reached his ears.

"Free ride? Thanks," he gave the female a large grin before he dashed on boards, his azure eyes going wide in awe as he made his way onto the ships deck.

From the glossy floor boards, to the cabin behind him, Nabiha continued to gape as he continued to scan the ship, his sky blue eyes wanting not to miss a single detail and his mind to memorize every detail of the Albatross. His attention was kept so closely to the airship, that he had failed to notice the sound of footsteps approaching from behind.

When a hand suddenly clamped down onto his shoulder, Nabiha jumped as his reflexes took over, his hand reached for the handle of his blade and unsheathed the sword, twirling around so that the sharp edge of the blade was on the neck of the person.

"Whoa there!" the person yelped, raising his hand in defense, "didn't mean to startle you, Nabiha."

Blinking several times, Nabiha released an apologetic smile, "Oh, Hey Officer Clark," he removed his blade from the guardsman's neck, "Sorry about that."
"Nothing to say sorry about," the guardsman waved his hand as his free one rubbed the side of his neck, "it was my fault for disturbing you."

Releasing another grin, Nabiha ran to the railing, peering over the edge only to release a awe of amazement, "This is great! Can't wait for this thing to lift off!"

Officer Clark released a smile, "I'm guessing this is your first time riding on an airship."

Pushing himself away from the edge, Nabiha nodded though he later released a sad sigh, "Yeah, though my older brother promised me that he'll take me on one someday."

Peering at him from behind his helm, Officer Clark asked, "What happened?"

The blue haired Swordsman shrugged, "He said that he was leaving one day but didn't tell us where. Since then, all we have been recieving from him is gifts and items but..."

Nabiha's light azure eyes gazed sadly into the sky, "We haven't seen him since..." he turned his eyes towards the guardsman, "That was about several years ago."

"I'm...sorry about that," The guardsman gave the Swordsman a sympathetic nod, "perhaps if you gave me a name, then maybe the royal court could help locate him."

Nabiha perked up, "Really! You can do that!"

Officer Clark released a smile, "Of course, after all, you're not only called the Savior of Carderock but you also helped repair the Albatross, it's the least we can do."

"Wooohooo! Thanks!" Nabiha exclaimed as he dashed forward and wrapped his arms around the guardsman whom blinked several times awkwardly behind his helm.

"Erm...could you...give me his name?"

"Oh, right," Nabiha released his grip on the guardsman and took several steps back, giving the male a large smile, "His name is Aoshiro, Aoshiro the Paladin."

"Wait, Aoshiro?" Officer Clark repeated, gaining a nod from the blue haired Swordsman as a response, "short white hair? Light blue eyes?"

Nabiha blinked, "Um...Yeah...Do you...know him?"

"Know him?" Officer Clark laughed, "Like you, he was also known as the Savior of Carderock Pass and furthermore, he rode the same airship to Saint's Haven."

The blue haired Swordsman gawked, "Saint's Haven? So he's at Saint's Haven right now?"

"Of course," the guardsman nodded, "He's been there since I've last seen him, about a year ago I believe."

"You have to be joking," Nabiha eyes went wide, "you just have to be because this is just too good to be true."

Offiicer Clark smiled, "Kid, guardsman hardly ever lie and this is one area where I always tell you the truth."

"Then what are waiting for!" Nabiha exclaimed, "Let's go!"

With another laugh, the Guardsman turned and started barking orders to his men, all of whom complied almost immediately. Turning his azure eyes towards the sky, Nabiha's eyes twinkled as he released a yell, "Ready or not Aoshiro! Here I come!"

Yeah, one of the many stories of my charries that I thought up from the game Dragon Nest XD
