I planned to make 4 chapters for this story I guess…

Chapter 3 is now done!!! Chapter 3 is mainly about friendship, nothing else.

Such a rough ending…

I can't believe it I made it this far. I was just a normal villager, trying to save my family and my land. But now, I'm a Master Strategist and an official Wu Officer. I am very happy having a change, a life like this. But what makes my life interesting and unforgettable was my friend, Lu Xun.

One day, I was practicing bow and arrow. I went to the place and start taking the bow and shooting the arrow to the board. After a few times trying, I still failed. I guess I'm not a good Archer…

Not long after that, Lu Xun came. He looked at the arrows around the ground. "Tell me what happened." Lu Xun said.

"I failed using bow and arrows." I replied.

Lu Xun then takes another bow and the arrows on the ground. He swings the bow and shoots the arrow right at the board. "That is how to use the bow and arrow correctly." He said.

I tried what Lu Xun did. It worked. I was happy. I thanked Lu Xun and start practicing the bow and arrow again while Lu Xun left the place.

When it is my spare time, I climbed up the tree. I picked the ripe apple at the tree. I started looking at the beautiful sky, the puffy clouds, big sun and the birds flying while I munch the sweet apple. It was very relaxing. Not long after that, I heard my name called from down. I looked down. It was Lu Xun.

"Lu Qing, what are you doing there?" Lu Xun asked.

I smiled and show the bitten apple. "I was just looking at the sky and munching my apple."

"May I try one apple?" Lu Xun replied. I picked another ripe apple and throw it to Lu Xun. "Catch it!!" I said. I'm glad he catches it and started munching it.

"Very delicious. Thank You." Lu Xun smiled. "Oh yeah, don't forget to start preparing the fire attacks. I'll leave it to you this time."

"Alright. I'll be down soon." I answered.

I finished the apple I munch then I went down the tree. "Let's start preparing the fire attack." I said to myself.

Everything was successful. The war, the fire attacks, and everything else. After that, Lu Xun asked me to join him walk around the land using horses with to 'celebrate' the victory. I wouldn't refuse. Then we both walk around with horses.

Besides looking at the view, we also see the land; finally in peace.

"The view is beautiful, isn't it?" I asked, to stop the silence.

"Well, I don't really like this kind of view. But this is very relaxing." Lu Xun replied.

"Yes, it is very relaxing." I answered.

Finally, we stopped in front of a view of mountains. "This is what I call a magnificent view." Lu Xun said. I was amazed looking at the view. It was magnificent. Then I went down the horse and went closer to the view. Lu Xun followed me. We both looked at the view.

Suddenly, there was a picture in my mind that we both are going to be separated. I don't know how, or why, but we both has been very good friends. I looked at Lu Xun and started to blush.

"Um… M-May I ask you something?" I said, a bit shy.

"Sure. What is it?" Lu Xun replied.

"W-We have been great friends…"

"Yes."

"B-But we will still be friends even if we are separated, right?"

Then there was that awkward silence, again. Lu Xun looked confused.

"Yes, of course. We will still be friends. Why are you asking that?" Lu Xun said.

I sighed. "I have a picture in my mind that we both are going to be separated."

"Don't worry, I know we will still be friends."

"Yup, friends."

We still looked at the view, and finally we went back to the horse and start walking around again.

And that is when deep inside my heart I discover that I have a crush on Lu Xun.
