The next morning before the sun rose over the valley of the tall-grass, Senscess and Diarmed set out with Chance on a horse that they so rightfully "borrowed" from a man who left it untied. Diarmed was leading the horse through the tall grass as Senscess walked ahead with Jairzine by her side. He would fly ahead every now and again and come back to Senscess's side and caw a few times loudly. The breeze was blowing lightly on the grass making the most soothing sound as they walked. The sun started to rise behind them over the Mountains of Aira Demon in the far East, Jairzine turned and cawed loudly and just as he did Senscess turned and a gust of wind blew her hood of her head and let her hair fly back in the wind. She turned and started to walk with Diarmed, she made a slight smile as she walked through the grass and whispered to herself "A new journey begins."Diarmed was now ahead and kept having the tall brown horse (witch he called Tidus) push his back with his head. He slowly heard a soft voice singing and he turned to see it was Senscess singing an Elvin morning song that carried in the wind so heavenly. He was amazed to hear her sing this song, for it was the first time in so long that he had heard something so sweet to his ears. The song was soft and sweet, it did carry on the wind as it blew on there backs to the west. Senscess walked on with almost a carefree walk through the grass. She sang her song with her whole heart as the words rolled of her tongue; her words flowed well to the rhythm of the tall grass almost danced to her sweet words. Diarmed smiled as he walked along with Tidus behind him and Chance sleeping body over the horses back limply.
Hours had passed and the sun was right over head and they where still in the valley of the tall-grass. They still had hours till they where out of the valley of the tall-grass and on to the Elvin forest of darkness, where the trees made you feel like a small ant in the woods and even on the brightest of day you could barely see your hand in front of your face. But not only did it have huge trees and dark woods, it also had mystic powers that normal human's feared and mystical animal like Dragons and Griffons. All though there where already thousands of these creatures around. These where different, unlike anyone had ever seen and lived to tell the tale about it. The Dragons where known to be the smartest and oldest of any Dragon that ever lived, and the Griffons where known to be the most cunning and tricky beings in the woods, along with hundreds of other beings and creatures.
But along with all these things lives a different kind of being that lived right along side with these creatures and took care of many of them like there guardians of the forest. The dark Elf's of the Forgotten hearts. These Elves's used to live all along the forest and took care of creatures and animals everywhere, but after the war of the Mystic Beast took place, all hopes for this clan were lost. Only few remain in there small world, now these Elf's live in the shadows of what once was, then what has to be.
They knew that there journey would have to take them through the forest of Darkness, it was just something they knew inside of them, and that Jairzine knew as well. The day was soft and the clouds rolled over the sky like soft sheets of white over the sun. The grass swayed so peacefully along the way. Diarmed had stopped at a small pool of water not more then 3 miles form the Forest of Darkness. Senscess leaned down by the pool and cupped some water with her hands and began to drink, her lips where still dry and sore. She smiled as she swallowed the cool water as it made its way down her throat. She looked up at Diarmed who was letting the horse drink as he stroked the horse's long neck. He looked over to Chance who was till out cold on the horses back, he shook his head in disbelief. He looked at Senscess and turned and pulled chance off the horses back and set him down by the water.
He looked at Senscess, "Should I?" He looked at the water then back at her. Senscess took another drink and looked back up at Diarmed and nodded as she shook her hands from being wet with a slight smirk as she ran them through her hair.
Diarmed nodded and smiled as he pushed Chance into the water and it wasn't 5 seconds after that that splashes came from the water as Chance took a deep breath as he raised his head over the water. His clothes stuck to him as he stood in the water that came right up to his waist, he shook his head and his hair went everywhere on his head. He covered his face for a moment and then looked up at Diarmed and Senscess looking down at him in the water.
"Sorry to wake you in such a manner Chance, but it was either that or let you sleep till we made it to the forest before giving you a proper choice." Diarmed said as he looked down at Chance breathing kind of heavy from the shock of almost drowning. He looked over to Senscess and back to Diarmed sort of scared for a moment, he didn't speak for a few seconds.
Senscess finally looked over to Chance "There's nothing to be afraid of Chance..." he looked over at her kind of shocked. "Afraid?...Me...no I'm just..." he took in a deep breath as he pulled his hair back with his hands "I'm just... thinking on how I should..." Senscess shook her head and looked at Diarmed and sighed.
"Listen..." Diarmed looked over at Chance who stopped talking after that. "I would like to know what all you saw last night...we won't hurt you for anything you may have seen." Chance still with a look of shock on his face said "Saw anything...oh there wasn't anything to see sir...well...I did see some strange markings on your back sir...and saw milady do something to your back to heal some of it." Chance looked somewhat unpleased that he said it in hope that he wouldn't get hurt. He looked around him for a second and saw that he had never been in these waters before. He looked up to Diarmed then at Senscess and asked "where am I?"
Senscess looked at Chance with calm eye in hopes to keep him calm "We are only a few miles from the Forest of Darkness, we have taken you with us from the Village." Chance's eyes widened and he shook his head and started to walk for them as he got out of the water "Whoa wait, what?" He was dripping wet as he stood next to Diarmed and Senscess. "You took me? What gives you that right? What makes you think no ones out there looking for me?" Diarmed walked up to him and looked slightly down at him with a small smirk on his face "Um...Sir..." Chance said fixing his words and making a nervous smile.
Diarmed looked at Chance and shook his head and raised one eyebrow. "But you don't have anyone looking for you...Do you Chance?" Chance was kind of surprised bout the question and raised his head up in what looked to be almost stubbornness and pride. "Yes I have...someone looking for me!" He looked down for a quick moment then back at Diarmeds Red eyes. But all Diarmed did was shake his head and smile, "No...Chance I bet I can tell you all about yourself with out even asking you." He walked over to the water and took a drink then looked up at Chance. "You want to take that bet?"
Chance looked down at him then at Senscess "We had only just met...how you could know anything about me..." Senscess smiled slightly as she looked at him with her green eyes, "We know more then you'll even know...for now..." Chance was now confused and somewhat bothered with there comments. He started to walk back a little but stumbled a little but got his ground back quickly. Senscess didn't even turn to look at him. "You feel like you've known us forever though we have never met, you feel the hurt with in you about something but you can quite tell what," Senscess turned and looked at him, her eyes full of hurt and pain. "You feel the sorrow in the wind as it hits you like cold water in you face but you can't understand why. You know there was something about you that hated being this way, but you swallow it away and turn it into something else."
Chance's eyes where wide open, she hit his thoughts dead on at the end. He turned and looked at them for a moment and slowly felt a comfort take over. "How could you know this, I could never get the words out about how I feel myself." Diarmed nodded and walked to Chance "There is a strength inside you chance greater then you can ever imagine ..." he looked Chance up and down for a second and laughed in his throat "...I still can't believe this is what happened to you. You would be so mad if you knew." Senscess smiled as she sat by the water and looked into it strongly. Chance looked at Senscess's back and then back at Diarmed, "What are you talking about?" Chance said looking somewhat upset and confused. "What has happened to me?" Diarmed smiled and walked over to Tidus. "this is where you make the choice Chance, come with us to the Forest of Darkness and learn all about what has happened to you and why you feel the way you feel." He turned and looked at him with harsh eyes. "Or go back to your old life, stealing, getting your ass kicked, and not truly knowing why the pain in the right side of your chest hurts when you look at the sunset over the lake and mountains."
Senscess looked up at Chance and felt her heart feel heave as she waited for his answer. Diarmed looked out to the tall-grass "the way home is that way straight on, witch do you choose?" Chance looked at them then back to the path Diarmed had shown him. He turned and took a few steps to the tall- grass but stopped and looked over his shoulder not looking at Diarmed or Senscess. He closed his eyes and let out a loud sigh.(A/N: again sorry I haven't posted in so long...my life was somewhat on halt till I had to run through hell on earth with friends family and well my loved ones...I'm working on the next Chap now so hope you read on...please don't hurt me chance for what I did to ya =D your always strong right off the back..smiles evilly then waves kitten paw the next chap is better [Lilu] Spazers)
