Chapter 4: Dance
'' Sorry if I scared you.'' He said.
'' Scared me!? No way. I'm not scared.'' I told him.
'' But, you are shaking.'' He told me.
'' I AM NOT!'' I said in a loud voice, but, then, I looked around to see if any guards had heard me.
'' What's wrong?'' He asked me.
'' There seems to be no guards around.'' I said and then pulled my wooden sword to the stranger's face.
'' Now, tell me. Why are you here?'' I asked him.
'' I am a nobleman of the kingdom of Aton.'' He told me.
'' Do you have any proof ?'' I asked him.
The stranger showed me a pendant that the king and the prince were wearing, '' I hope this will be sufficient.'' He told me.
'' Yeah.'' I told him.
He told me,'' Now, that we are alone... would you care to dance with me?''
I looked at him confused and said,'' I bet you don't know how to dance?''
He quickly and gently grabbed my hand and told me,'' I'm willing to learn.''
'' I- I'm not a good a dance, so... I'm sorry if I step on you.'' I told him nervously.
We began dancing slowly, at first, then the dance became more alive and lively. I realized that he knew how to dance, a little bit, but what surprised me most was his hand which was purple and had red tattoos.
He stopped dancing and told me,'' If my skin color scares you, I can go away.''
I looked at his orange eyes and told him,'' You dolt, you only stop dancing when the music is over.''
'' Music?'' He said.
'' Yes, music. Can't you hear nature sing?'' I told him.
'' Nature... singing?'' He said confused.
'' Just close your eyes and hear your surroundings.'' I ordered him.
I did the same and heard the wind that moved the leaves which made a soft and delicate sound along. Soon we began dancing along that music.
I opened my eyes and saw that his eyes were still close.
'' You can open your eyes now.'' I said.
'' I think it's better this way.'' He told me.
'' You are sure?'' I asked me.
'' Yes. Thank you for worrying about me, I think you are the second person that does.'' He told me.
'' Really? What about your family?'' I asked him.
'' Oh, them. The only one that cares for me is her.'' He answered me.
'' Who?'' I asked.
Before he could answer, we heard someone call for me.
'' I'm sorry, I have to go.'' I told him.
Before I was able to go, he didn't let me go and told me while looking at my face,'' Don't go, please.''
'' You can go with me. After all, you are a nobleman.'' I told him
He let go off my hands and said,'' You are right.''
