Cless Alvein learns about how Sara was born from her elf father Marduk. But he learns she wasn't born in a good way. He learns that her mother die when she was still little. And she when to the elf village to tell her father only to be found by her older brother alsheak when she was little.

Sara Adnade, she was told by her older brother; she will never truly be happy. Because she has no place in the human or elf world; being only half-human as well as half-elf. After this happened to her when she was very little. She starts to hate her self deeply. She hated her elf side more then her human. So from everyone aside from her mother; she did hide this side of her.

Marduk is Sara's elf father. He is an elder in the village of the elves. And this makes his children princes or princesses. He blames him self for hurting both of his wife's as well as his son and daughter. But he wishes he could have protected his daughter. But he could not so he asks cless to look after her for him.

Chapter 14: Wanting to run from the truth

The two had just left the house. Cless slowly looked over to her. He didn't really know what to say to her. She was upset he could tell. Even with that coat over her. How couldn't she be upset? He wanted to do something for her; so she would feel better. But he didn't know what he could do.

For now all he could do was get her out of his village to protect her. He was still holding into her hand. "Come on…" he whispered, he saw her slowly nodded. The two of them slowly started toward the exit where two elf guards stood.

"Stop!" one of the guards yelled toward them. They quickly did as they were told too. "What is the problem here…?" Cless asked. "We can't let anyone…out…because sir alsheak said so…" the guard answered him. "…but I need to return to the king…" cless answered trying not to give away anything.

"Oh? The king I see…" the one guard said about to step aside but the other one stopped him. "Wait…who is that with you…?" The one asked looking toward Sara who had the coat over her. "Oh…her…?" Cless asked looking to her. "Yes…" the guard said with a small glare.

"Sir…this is my girlfriend…me and her have to return to the king or he will be angry with us…" she blinked looking up at cless surprised he called her that. "Oh so your both humans? I'm sorry for the trouble then…" the other one nodded as they stepped aside. The two quickly made they're way out of the village.

Cless looked back to make sure no one was following them. They made sure they were a bit away from the village before Sara took the coat off of her self. She dropped the coat into the ground without saying a word. "…" cless just stared at her a bit. He still didn't know what to say to her.

"Why did you call me your girlfriend…?" he blinked to find her looking up at him. "W-well it was the first thing I could come up with…would you have like it better if I had said wife…?" He asked. He watched her blush at the question. He slowly smiled; he took his hand pushing some hair behind her elf ears.

"You don't need to hide them anymore…" he whispered to her. "…" she quickly pushed her hair over her ears again. She really did hate her self just as her father had said so. "Sara…" he whispered to see her turn away from him. "I hate my elf side…I only want to be a full human nothing more…" cless just stared at her unsure of what to say to her.

She acted like she was a curse; not being just a human. But she didn't understand how special she was. Being a half-elf showed people humans and elves truly could live side by side.

"Oh there you two are…!" cless quickly turned to find klarth behind him. "Oh k-klarth…" cless said unsure of what more to say. Klarth had a small look of worry on his face. "Is something the matter? It took you and her sometime to leave the village of the elves…" klarth asked looking them both over.

Cless knew he shouldn't say anything without asking Sara first. "No…it just took her a bit longer to wake up then I thought…that all…" Sara looked up at cless in surprise. Klarth slowly nodded to him. "Did you tell the elders what had happened…?" cless asked. Klarth nodded again, "Yes…they fear something more could happen…but they were thankfully…we were alright…" "Anyways we should start back toward the castle…arche going to bite are heads off as it is…" they slowly nodded to klarth and started out of the forest.

Cless stay side by side with Sara. He felt very worried about her. He slowly tried to take hold of her hand; but she quickly pulled her hand away. He watched her blush a bit. "…" cless sighed to him self as he looked away. She really wasn't going to open up was she? She really didn't want anyone by her. He could tell by how she would react.

Soon after that the three had gotten out of the forest. Then they started north back to the castle town. Klarth started to walk slower. He could tell something did happen that cless didn't tell him about. He could tell by how Sara was now reacting. But klarth kept it all to him self for the time being.

He knew now wasn't the time to be asking. What had happened that he didn't know about; they were all quiet the whole time back to the castle town. None of them had said a word. They quickly made they're way back to the castle when they got to town.

Arche ran to the door way as the door opened. "About time…!" she yelled pointing a finger at klarth. Klarth just rolled his eyes at her. "We could have just left you here…" klarth whispered under his breath. "What!" arche asked stealing his hat off the top of his hat. "Hey!" he yelled running around the room trying to get his hat back.

Sara and cless just stood there watching. "…" Sara slowly sighed looking toward the ground. Cless slowly looked over her; he was unsure what he could still say to her. But he hated to see her like this. But how could he help her learn to love her elf side?

"Ha got it back!" cless quickly looked forward to see klarth holding his hat again. "You cheated!" arche yelled waving her arms around. Klarth just grinned watching arche. Sara then slowly looked up watching the two.

"Are you alright Sara…?" cless blinked seeing it was arche asking. "Huh…? Uh yeah…why do you ask…?" she asked watching arche slowly walk over to her. "Well you do look a bit pale…" arche slowly place a hand on Sara's forehead. "…" Sara didn't say a word as she watched the pink hair one.

"Well your not sick…" arche whispered removing her hand from Sara's forehead. "I-I'm just a bit tired…" Sara whispered shaking her head a little. Klarth slowly gave cless a look. Then cless gave klarth a look back. He slowly nodded, "why don't we head for the inn and get a room then…?" klarth asked the others.

They slowly nodded to him as they left the castle. They still didn't tell arche that they couldn't fix the rings for the time being. But now wasn't the time to be worried about that. They were more worried by how strong Dhaos had become in so little time.

They slowly got to the inn and rented a room for the four of them to stay in. They head into they're room to talk. They had to tell arche something that had happened. When she wasn't around anyways; "what? Dhaos attacked you in the forest?" arche yelled getting off of her bed.

"Yes and no…" klarth asked looking toward arche. "It was his shadow…he even when so far to pull the two magic swords apart…" arche looked like she was in shock. But you couldn't really blame her. "Then the eternal sword is…!" Arche cried looking toward cless.

He slowly nodded to her. "The eternal sword is no more…" cless whispered looking toward the ground. "As well…we couldn't fix the rings…" klarth whispered crossing his arms. "Isn't they're any other way to fix the rings…?" Sara slowly looked up hearing this question; Cless slowly looking to her.

He remembers what her father had said. 'She knows of a way to fix them…but you have to ask her you're self…' He still hasn't asked her. "I don't know…" klarth answered arche. "Who could fix them aside from origin the summon of Creation…?" klarth asked getting no answer.

"I'm sure they're another way…!" arche said with another smile. Then everyone heard arche' stomach growl. She started to laugh a bit. "Hehe…uh…I guess I'm hungry…" she whispered looking around to the others. "Hmm…food? Now that I think about I'm hungry as well…" klarth said with a small smile. "Why don't we take a break and go get a bit to eat?" He asked looking around. "Uh sure…" cless whispered back.

"I'll pass…" they all quickly looked to Sara. "You…sure…?" arche asked. She slowly nodded, "Yes…I'll just stay here and rest…" she whispered stay sitting on her bed. "…do you want me to stay as well…?" cless asked but she quickly shook her head at him. "No…you should go eat as well…" she whispered looking away.

'She acts like she doesn't even want me to be around…' cless thought. "Ok we will be back in a bit…then…" Arche said pulling klarth and cless out of the room leaving her alone sitting there.

"I'm nothing more then…trouble to them all…" she whispered to her self closing her eyes. Then she slowly nodded. She couldn't be here any longer; she really couldn't. She was nothing but trouble to the others. She slowly stood up; she had to leave this place. Even if this wasn't her time; she didn't care right now.

She just had to get away from here! She quickly packed her items away in her small bag. Then she left the room the group had rented. But the inn keeper stops her when she tried to leave. "Miss where are you going?" the inn keeper asked. "Leaving…" she answered. "But without the others…?" the inn keeper asked looking confused.

"Yes, I am nothing but trouble to them anyways…please do not tell them I have left…" she whispered quickly leaving the inn. The inn keeper kept standing there unsure of what she should do when the other would return. "What to do…?" the inn keeper asked her self.

---------------------

But the others had found they're way to the tavern to have something to eat. They had got three hamburgers. Arche and klarth quickly started to eat. But cless just stared down at his food. Even if he was hungry. He couldn't eat he was too worried about someone.

Arche slowly stop eating and looked over to cless. "What's wrong…?" arche asked. "Huh…?" he slowly looked up to the pink hair girl. "You have been acting diffence after we return from the elf village…" klarth whispered looking worried toward cless. "…" he slowly sighed looking back down at the table top.

"Cless…?" klarth asked. "Something did happen in the village of the elves…" cless whispered closing his eyes. "…?" arche and klarth could only look confused at him. He slowly sighed as he started to tell them; the truth about who Sara truly was.

Both of they're mouth were open; they were staring him in shock. "Sara's princess…naru?" arche asked. Cless slowly nodded to her. "Wow…I can't believe it…I heard about her from father when I was little but…" arche said; as klarth nodded. "So…that why I felt strong magic surrounding her…" cless looked confused toward klarth.

Arche nodded to klarth. "I felt it as well…but I didn't think much of it then…" Arche said still looking toward cless. "your really worried about her aren't' you…?" she asked. "Huh…?" he whispered. "Cless…it easy to tell you are…go be with her…" klarth whispered giving him a wink.

"But…" he whispered. Arche quickly got out of her chair. "No butts get your ass moving…mister…!" arche said adding in her wink as well. Cless slowly smiled. "Thanks guys…" he quickly got up and headed out of the tavern.

"God…only if Chester could be that…way…" arche said with a sigh. "Keep dreaming…." Klarth whispered getting a glare from arche. "What was that…?" she asked slowly turning her head toward klarth. "Uh…" he whispered starting to sweat a bit. "n-nothing…?" he whispered as arche started to move closer looking angrier.
